The Lion & Crown Pub, an English-style pub with a large and varied menu, is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. serving lunch, dinner and daily specials. The pub also offers a wide selection of fine wines and 38 beers on tap. Guests can watch sporting events on one of the many large TV screens or enjoy a nice night out on the patio. Different drink specials are available every day and live music on Friday and Saturday.
A hot game of King Trivia Pub Quiz is just the thing to warm up a cold night; And that’s just what happened at the Lion & Crown Pub in Allen Thursday night as temperatures plunged to below freezing. Newly formed (from pub regulars) team, The Misfits have been steadily climbing the ladder to victory these past few weeks and succeeded in claiming first place. The cold didn’t bother our resident champs, The Ninja Turtles either, as they won second place, nice and cozy by their regular seats at the fireplace. Third Place honors went to The Shredder Squad, who heated up the joint with their own brand of fiery trivia answers from the center table, thus ensuring no one was cold.
Special mention to sentimental faves IFFY!, who almost placed this week. Also, good effort to Bloomington, a two gal team who held their own against the seasoned vets at the L&C. Welcome to Brees Knees, Quality Goods and Hoohah, who all had a great time and are now figuring out how to stack their team for the future! If I didn’t mention you, it’s only because of brevity. Know I love all my teams!
It was a great set of questions as well, keeping everyone’s brain running hot as they tried to discern the answers. As Socrates once said, “The warmth of intellect fueled by the fiery passion of wine is the alchemist’s compound which burns white hot and melts all but the truth!” Well, Socrates never said that… But he should have! Actually, Quizmaster Lou said it and he’s sticking to it! Happy week, everyone!
