Also–Watertown Coffee every other Tuesday on 12th and Cherry:)
Since one person mentioned Eastlake – Paddy Coynes on Thomas (behind REI) hosts Trivia on Tuesdays, 7.30pm. It’s a lot of fun, 5 rounds, $2 a person. HH does end at 6 though which is a drag because it is a little pricey, but good times.
Awwww…Zach hasn’t hosted in years. Am I that unremarkable?
Hey Ryen – you should update the Clever Dunne’s listing on the Quiz Night!
http://www.quiznight.net/
I sent Clever Dunne’s a msg to confirm facts from Quiz Night site, got no response, so I decided to go with what I had.
How would you describe the quiz night at Clever Dunne’s? I’ll update the post!

Hey this is Kyle (of Kyle and Drew) – just wanted to update to let anyone seeing this know that trivia is now on Wednesday at 7 PM at Capitol Club. We’ve changed from Mondays and moved it back an hour, so it now overlaps with happy hour from 7 until 8. Prizes – 2nd place gets their money back, 1st place takes the rest of the pot, and one team (either 1st or 3rd, depending on the number of teams) gets to choose the theme for one of the 5 rounds the following week.
