OB's Manhattan Beach is proud to be your local beach pub since 1985. We are dedicated to personal attention, great food, excellent drinks and always a good time.
This Wednesday I got another chance to sit in at OB's, and it was a pleasure all over again. It may have been a slow night for OB's, but that didn't stop the fun, as the teams were on fire from the start! Aaaand they're off! With OBHave, Pussy Over Pancakes, and Make Constantinople Greece Again, doubling down by the first round! But Trivichol, Jesse Can't Wait, and Trying Really Hard, weren't gonna get shown up, they put up the fight! Trivichol shook off that rough start and came back strong by round 4 and remained head to head with Jesse and TRH the rest of the game. Pancakes never eased however the threw those punches and filled in those boxes with an X! They finished first with 77 points! Ay Ay Ay! OBHave ate some dust on the 4th round, as they second guessed themselves, crossed out the correct answer for another, and unfortunately, were deducted a point. But that didn't stop them, the kept their chin up, and came in second place. Trying Really Hard guessed the correct answer to my question and won some yummy chilly cheese fries! Congrats to the winners and I hope to can sit again, this house super loving and welcoming. I tried their food for the first time and it was incredibly delicious! It's pictured above: OB Grill's Chicken Stir-fry. FREAKIN-BOMB!!!

Brand new year and decade, folks! We kicked it off with a fun game of King Trivia at OB's. 6 teams competed to see who would go home in first place and $40 towards their next OB's visit.
"Low Expectations" gained the lead after Round 1 and held it strong through most of the game. Round 3 seemed to be a difficult round for most of our teams with many of them not getting any points. 🙁 "New Year, New Me" won the Chili Cheese Fry Round when they beat out all the other teams keeping their spoon on their nose the longest. Check out our teams with spoons on their noses in the picture section of this recap!
By Round 4, "New Year, New Me," "I'm Barbara Walters and This is 20/20," "Memphis Grizzlies," "Low Expectations," and "OB's Bitches" guessed the famous place on the 8 point clue. This caused a three way first place tie between "New Year, New Me," "Low Expectations," and "OB's Bitches." At the end of Round 5, "Low Expectations" snagged the lead again. But "New Year, New Me," was only behind them with one point. And "Memphis Grizzlies" was only behind THEM with one point. It was still anyone's game. "Low Expectations" picked up their lead by Round 6 with our handout round. BUT our final round was all about sports teams in 2019, a category in which "Low Expectations" has some issues. They were only able to score 5 points that round while "Memphis Grizzlies" scored an almost perfect score with 9 outta 10 points!
Our first game of 2020 ended with "Memphis Grizzlies" beating out "Low Expectations" by 2 points and going home in FIRST place and $40 towards their next OB's visit. But don't worry, "Low Expectations" went home in SECOND place and $20 towards their next OB's visit.
What a fun game and am looking forward to more in 2020!

OB's was in the Holiday Spirit as 10 teams competed in another fantastic game of King Trivia!
"Two Man Luge" came out to play and started the game really well leading the pack by Round 3. Unfortunately, they answered incorrectly in Round 4 and lost a point. "Candy Cane Lame," "Where's Cassidy," "Facts," "Do It for the Sam," and "Cornbread" all got the maximum amount of points in Round 4 guessing the famous person on the first clue! This tied "Do It for the Sam" and "Cornbread" for the lead. All that changed by the end of Round 5, however, when "Pussy Over Pancakes" DOUBLED their score going for the Double or Nothing. "POP" doubled their score AGAIN in our final round helping to skyrocket them to FIRST place and $40 towards their next OB's visit. Don't worry, "Do It for the Sam" came in SECOND AND $20 towards their next OB's visit!
And "Facts" won the Chili Cheese Fry Round! #yum
As always, thanks to Bonnie and the incredible team for always keeping everyone full and quenched. Happy Holidays, everyone. Until next time!!
