No Fireman’s Exam Trivia this week.
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

The title says it all. Because of the holidays and some other stuff I have going on this week we’re going to postpone Fireman’s Exam Trivia at The Firehouse this Wednesday.

I apologize to those of you who were planning on coming out. But this could work in your favor by giving you extra time to study. But for those of you who hadn’t thought about it until now, here’s your chance to start talking it up to your friends and start recruiting your team.

We had a great turnout last week and an awesome time. I hope to see everyone back out again next week when we resume our regularly scheduled brain stumping.

Wednesday – November 18, 2009 – Fireman’s Exam Trivia @ The Firehouse
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

firehouse 3Is anyone else a little bit frightened to think about the fact that it’s already mid-November? As winter steadily inches closer and closer, it’s important to make sure that you’re getting your weekly dosage of trivia…it’s the surefire cure for seasonal depression.

Come out to The Firehouse this Wednesday for five rounds of brain stumping trivia. Team registration starts at 8PM and the trivia game should get underway around 8:30PM. If you’d like, go to the Facebook event page and RSVP. The Firehouse is offering $5 domestic pitchers and 10 wings for $5. Last week I had the Firehouse’s “Hickory Burger” and thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. It wasn’t on special, but I’d definitely order it again!

Also, just to clarify, none of the questions asked pertain to fires, firemen, or fighting fire. They’re all general knowledge questions broken up by category. You don’t need to be a volunteer firefighter to participate. Anyway, hope to see you all come out Wednesday night, it’s sure to be a good time!

Wednesday – November 11, 2009 – Fireman’s Exam Trivia @ The Firehouse
Sunday, November 8th, 2009

DSC02898OK, go ahead…call me a little bit biased in promoting this event. I’m ok with that. I mean, if you were hosting a trivia night at The Firehouse wouldn’t you promote it on your nightlife blog?

This Wednesday night at The Firehouse in Bethlehem is the very first night of a new weekly trivia game. We’re calling it The Fireman’s Exam, you know, cause it’s at The Firehouse. I’ll be hosting the trivia night and bringing you some (hopefully) brain puzzling questions. Team registration opens at 7PM and the game starts at 7:30PM. Throughout the night there will 5 rounds of 6 questions which will range in topic from sports, music, movies, TV, history, science and much more. There will also be food and drink specials that night, but at this point I’m not sure what exactly they will be. After the trivia game concludes there will be a concert by local-legend, one man band Leechboy.

I hope you’ll come out to The Firehouse this Wednesday night and test your knowledge in the Lehigh Valley’s newest trivia night. It’s sure to be a good time, so gather your team and come on out this Wednesday night!

OMG!! LV Scene Author to Host Weekly Trivia Night at The Firehouse!
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

If you haven’t already guessed what this blog post is about, you might just wanna stop reading because a new trivia night is probably not something you’ll be interested in. But for those of you who have discerned what’s going on, I have a very big announcement for you. I’m excited to announce that starting in the near future, I will be hosting a Trivia night at The Firehouse!

Since opening in September, The Firehouse has been without a trivia night, opting to concentrate on their weekend events/parties. But now that they’ve got weekends under control, they’re going to be expanding their weekly offerings to include some new events…including a weekly trivia night.

Not all the details have been worked out just yet, and that’s where you come in. What would you like to see at this trivia night? Do you want more questions about pop culture? History? Sports? Would you like to see multi-question rounds? Or one question per round? Would you like to include pictures? Audio & video clips?

I want to make this trivia night the best in the Lehigh Valley and, with your help, I can do that. Leave your feedback in the comments section of this blog post or shoot me an email at…

Tuesday – October 13, 2009 – Trivia Options
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

It’s official, Tuesday night is the Lehigh Valley’s trivia night. There are a ton of bars out there that host trivia games on Tuesday nights, chances are you already know of a few. But, for today’s blog post I’m just going to concentrate on two of them.trivia

Roosevelt’s 21st – Bethlehem – TNT – Trivia at Roosevelt’s 21st, formerly Beerbellys, is nothing new. It’s been going on here for years and draws a solid crowd from locals and Moravian students. Trivia starts at 8PM and is hosted by 99.9 The Hawk. $.35 wings from 7PM-1AM. $2 Yuengling Lager drafts, 32oz. pitchers: $4 well/domestic & $6 call/import.

The PigPen – Allentown – Big Ass Trivia – A relative newcomer to the trivia scene, The PigPen is working to hard to try something different with their trivia night. By incorporating audio and video clips, pictures, and using a PowerPoint slide show to display the questions, they’re hoping to get the audience more involved in the game. “Put your useless knowledge to good use” every Tuesday night starting at 9PM. Enjoy all you can eat jumbo chicken wings for $9.99.

Tuesday & Wednesday – September 1-2, 2009 – Pub Stumpers Trivia @ Starter's Riverport and Pub
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Trivia at Starter’s Riverport and Starter’s Pub is nothing new. They’ve been doing it for a while and a pretty good sized crowd turns out for it every week. But in the name of keeping things fresh, they’re mixing things up and starting a 12 week trivia league. Pub Stumpers Triva is a weekly trivia system that’s run throughout the country…think of it as the NFL of trivia leagues. Very little information has been given by Starter’s or the Pub Stumpers website about how exactly the league operates, how scoring works, or what types of questions will be asked but the concept sounds cool and it seems like a fun way to keep people interested in trivia for an extended period of time. Pub Stumpers

Tuesday night at Starter’s Riverport they are offering $2 Tacos and $2 Yuengling Lager drafts to go along with all the trivia excitement. Wednesday night at the Pub you can expect $2.50 cheese steaks and $3 Sam Adams bottles and drafts…which sounds like an awesome combination to get your brain going. So if you don’t already have a trivia team in place start recruiting now because Pub Stumpers is just getting started!

Wednesday – August 19, 2009 – Witty Wednesday & Steel Trap Trivia at BBW
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

There’s no escaping it. We Lehigh Valleyians love trivia night at the local bars. And with good reason. It’s a great excuse to get out and socialize and most bars offer great drink and food specials. We all have our favorites too. My personal favorite at the moment is trivia night at Starter’s Riverport. But one that I’ve been hearing a lot about lately is Steel Trap Trivia at the Bethlehem BrewWorks. Registration starts at 8:30PM and the game starts at 9PM. Local comedians Steve Bost and Kate Hayes host the trivia night and according to friends of mine are some of the best trivia hosts in the area. There’s no cover charge and the BrewWorks awesome Steelgaarden Wit can be had for the low, low price of $2!

Tuesday – August 4, 2009 – Trivia at The PigPen
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

A new hat bas been thrown into the Tuesday Night Trivia ring. The PigPen Sports Bar & Grille is now hosting their own trivia night every Tuesday starting at 9:30PM. And what trivia night would be complete without an awesome food special? Tonight at the PigPen they’re offering all you can eat wings for $9.99. I’ve never eaten or done trivia at the PigPen before so I’m pretty psyched about checking out the PigPen for something other than just grabbing some drinks on a Friday or Saturday night.

For those of you who are a little Musikfest-ed out and looking for something else to do tonight…come on over to the PigPen tonight and put that brain of yours to use.
