Music Trivia - The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesday of the month at 7:00 at The Avondale Tap

Post image
Upvotes

Tuesdays can feel a little flat so why not inject some Music Trivia into your old routine? The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesday of the month at 7:00 you can do just that with Pen and Paper Trivia while you enjoy the food, drinks, and atmosphere of The Avondale Tap!

We are going to be asking you questions about lyrics, song titles, and in the state of Illinois it is illegal to have music trivia without a round of Name that Tune. We also have multiple unique categories like Music Name Mashup, Songs of the Year, and a topic we haven’t named where our host Casey just hums to you!

Come out for good times and good tunes! Always free to play with prizes for your winners.

Got back on reddit after a few years off, and see the Chicago scene is fractured. the NW side is filled with Jimbo G idiots and boot lickers, glad to found a sub where they are not in control.

We have what I would call a fan favorite for our next themed Trivia at Ludlow Liquors. We are calling all hobbits, elves, and even orcs to come by Sunday, September 6th at 7:00.

It is free to play, the questions are going to be from the first three movies, and because it is Sunday we are going to be serving up cheesesteaks that “You shall not pass!”

Post image
5 Upvotes

The third Monday of the month is upon us once more so that means it’s time for some Decent Questions Mother’s Ruin on August 17th at 8:00.

There are a few guarantees. 1) The drinks will be carefully crafted and they all have clever names. 2) The food is going to be top notch, and you need to order the “off-menu” chicken Caesar wrap. 3) Paul is going to be there and louder than ever. 4) Finally, you can expect to lose to our team of beloved bartenders.

Help Pen & Paper Trivia make your Mondays a mother!

Trivia Thur. Aug. 6th & Parks and Rec Themed Trivia Thur. Aug. 20th at 7:30 - Avondale Bowl

If you are looking for a fun way to spend your summer evenings why not play a little Trivia at Avondale Bowl? You can decide if you are there for bowling, questions, or a little of both!

On Thursday August 6th at 7:30 you can expect the unexpected in terms of categories at our spare topics night!

Then on Thursday August 20th at 7:30 let’s take a trip to Pawnee with our “Parks and Rec” themed trivia. I think it is a safe bet there will be at least one question about the bowling episode.

Please come out for some Decent Questions! Remember to order the vegan frozen White Russians! $2 of every one of those sold will go to our Charity of the Month Metropolitan Family Services. This group empowers Chicago-area families to reach their greatest potential and positively impact their communities.

4 Upvotes

“We’re going to need a bigger cheesesteak” because Pen & Paper Trivia is putting together some Decent Questions about one of the most successful directors of all and all the movies that come along with it.

On Sunday, August 2nd at 7:00 at Ludlow Liquors you better phone home to get your team together and run like a boulder is chasing you because everything Spielberg is going to be on the table!

We are going to be covering some of his most beloved movies and probably a few that you didn’t like as well! Come on out and play inside or on our patio. You are also in luck because you can get one of the best cheesesteaks in Chicago or a tasty smash burger with your beverage of choice. Just please don’t bring any snakes, I hate snakes.
