What perfect weather!  Hoppin patio with loads of teams playing.

I really gotta hand it to the JETS, who stood up to stiff competition and won a solid 1st place prize for a whole month now.

Round winners Heros softly disappeared in the evening like a wisp of smoke from your friendly Charlies Bar patio.

Alleycat proved themselves Prowlicious, with consistent answers the whole night.  They are worthy second place victors.

The eagerly anticipated return of the King Prawns livened the night, in the atmoshpere of reduced second hand smoke ratio.  Yay summer!  A solid performance grabbed a third place bar tab.  They also claimed a Tiebreaker pitcher about Hallmark cards revenue.  Come party again next week!

The Beaverton Munchers, Serena, Your Hot (yes, spelled like that) and Diabolical Darrell also played it out and had a great time!

“What is the Russian term for cheers?”  Naz-da-rovia

“In textspeak, what is ttfn?”

ta-ta for now,    Tory 

Tonight was a perfect example of how Charlie’s is a go-to weekly bar for entertainment no matter what.  Buzzwordz was the core out on the patio, turning an otherwise calm night into a drunk random Colfax fest. 

Taking the crown for several straight weeks, the JETS proved once again to be the trivia kings (or queens?). 

Coming back strong this week, Alleycat pulled a Tiebreaker pitcher (about OPEC oil production), and nabbed Second Place- nice work folks!

Newcomers Studmuffin raked in 3rd Place bar tab, while nursing “Random Drunk Lady” most of the Third Round.  Thanks for keeping her contained! 

The Retard Junction won hands down best team name.  See you soon!

Warm springs and fun times at the unpredictable smoky Charlie’s Patio.

Cheers folks!   Tory

Fun time tonight at Charlies- mild weather with a few showers to freshen the air.  The JETS had a great performance tonight, sweeping rounds and taking the first place bar tab.  Way to go folks!

Good showing by Alleycat, grabbing the third prize bar tab and winning the final tiebreaker to earn a free pitcher.  The atomic number of Lawrencium is 103.  Go Team!  Always good times!

Great Second and Third rounds nabbed The Possible Side Effects a 2nd Place bar tab.  We’re all so proud of you!

Also making appearances, the Canadian Wendsturr, the Cockboys, Shouts with a Fist, Team Chrome and the Fireballs packed the patio for a good time all around.  May in Charlies is turning out great.  Cheers til next week!

Awesome time at Tuesday Trivia!  Such nice weather and a huge crowd.

With a full seven teams playing it through, competition was tough.  Three different winners of round pitchers, and a fourth non-round winning team placing too!  Lots of Tiebreakers is always suspenseful.

Although defeated in the second round Tiebreaker, the Royals had great scores every round and won the 1st place prize.  Amazing persistence- great having you!

Congrats to Round 2 Winners Alleycat!  Eeking out a closer guess to the average January Cairo temperature (a measly 64 degrees), these guys got really drunk for no money and learned a few things!  Sounds like  good deal to me.  Always great times guys! 

Lisu took the first round, and squeezed into the 3rd place victory slot.  Props folks!

Solid as always, the JETS vaulted into 2nd place with a super third round score.  Way to go team!  The Mishaps, Something Different and Team Blah Blah all also got really drunk for the cost of a load of laundry…

I’m looking forward to a great month of weather, trivia, good company and insanely cheap beer at Charlies on Tuesday nights!

Cheers, Tory 

Great night Tuesday at trivia.  Although less mild than last week, the patio was still buzzing with patrons- good time all around.

The applause pauses- the drinks slowly slink- and the tension of a final game Tiebreaker, for 1st place, absorbs the air.  The JTS, the fighting duo-(ish) giving up their ‘E’, lose their crown to Alleycat, all over the year that the Department of Energy was founded.  Well, it took an oil crisis to push that forward, and summer of ‘77 Gerald Ford finally approved creation of the U.S.D.E. 

Congrats to Alleycat for snagging the best bar tab, although it was clear that their extensive, earlier libations postponed the use of said bar tab.

Giving a run for these teams, the Lucky Bastards kept the game competitve and won 3rd Place.  Nice job guys, as well as Team Q and the Dumb Guys.

This next month is gonna be awesome with better weather!

Cheers for now.

-Tory

What great weather on Tuesday- party out on the patio!  Reduced second hand smoke and all, lots of short sleeves…

Probably the most competitive night I’ve seen yet- over 25 players and dozens of onlookers- lots of intelligent discussion which is always more worthwhile!

Props to the newcomers Diamond, who eked out second place with a solid performance all night.  Prowling closely behind, Alleycat will not settle for 3rd again…

The consecutive champions, the JETS, better watch their propulsion apparatus because other teams are looking to hijack it.  I got your backs- good work on 1st place again!

The honorary Tiebreaker went to the latecomers Pitkin, nailing the Happy Trails debut year to snag the free pitcher.  Shouts out to Hillary’s Big White Caucus, Sister Sludge and Darrell’s Tea, all with strong performances amid the mild evening breeze.

Open air party patio that can’t be beaten!  Cheers until next time

-Tory

Fun night Tuesday on the greatest patio in Denver!  With warmer weather, more people can enjoy the patio without the claustrophobic, nicotine-clambaked hotbox that the winter brought.

Lots of competition tonight pushed the powerhouse Alleycat into second place.  But is two against five really fair?  The newly molded behemoth past the former JT, the JETS (Everybody and Scott too!), took the 1st prize, coming back strong in the late 3rd Round and sweeping for the first time during my presence at Charlies.  Props!

Great showing by the Possible Side Effects, grabbing the 3rd place bar tab.  Also, Shouts out to Bump ‘n Grind, Jose and To Wong Who?, all of whom vow to avenge their loss to the JETS as, of course, the Sharks…

Hasta luego amigos de Charlies!

-Tory

For once, we all collectively felt the coming of Spring on the best patio around! 

Back from a week hiatus, I saw a great showing tonight with the nice weather and “Fitty-cent” High Lifes.  Yeah, the inebriation doesn’t help with the scores but sure makes it more entertaining!

The return of JT to First Place with really strong 3rd round performance.  Their late recruting strategy is definitely working.  The Magic Gathering, Dungeoning Dragonning, Cub Scouting and Sousaphoning really paid off.  I always knew that nerds ultimately rule the world!!

Strong game for Alleycat, getting 2nd place overall and winning round drinks.  Oops, did I say you won even more free drinks than 2nd round beer already imbibed and the bar tab prize too?  What a cruel April Fools I play…

Jeremiah kicked major booty Round 3 and won Third Place, also employing the drunk recruiting strategy.  Nice work!

Props to the stud Mikhail, RonDan, and Honorable Mentions to the Bitches and also the Lesbos, who I think she have a mudwrestling fight to find out who the real winner, that is, the drunkest team, is…

But we all win at Charlie’s Trivia every Tuesday night!

Cheers folks!    -  Tory

Important night tonight- memorial at the bar of bouncer Mike who could not be with us.  Thanks for all the support between everyone- it’s good that memories still live with us.

ON a more trivial note, the return of the fully formidable Alleycat claimed victory after a short hiatus.  Nice job guys!

JT earned round drinks and the second place bar tab- rumors of reinforcements arriving next week should keep Alleycat on the prowl for more useless information…

Also great job to MWalsh picking up 3rd prize with a strong round.

Enjoy Charlie’s trivia every week- that big bar with small bar charm on Colfax and Emerson.

Cheers!

Tory

Great Trivia tonight- can’t beat the Charlie’s Patio on a mild night!

Full house with a dozen teams coming and going throughout.

Props to the Dondi’s Inferno, Team AJ and Alleycat for a 3 way tie coming down to a Final Tiebreaker!  Based on previous questions about foreign born basketball MVPS and SNL’s Female Power Trio, what is the height difference, in cm, between Hakeem Olajuwon and Cheri Oteri?

Nailing the answer (60), Dondi’s Inferno pulls off the bar tab!  However, they still came short of consistent powerhouse JT in second.  Good work folks!

For the second consecutive week, the teacher’s bloc of Sturrs and Dolls managed a solid first place victory!  A+ for the educators!

Cheers from Tuesday’s Trivia at Charlies- See you guys next week!

-Tory 

Great night with several teams competing for free bar tabs on the best patio around.

The 4-H Club took the biggest prize, representing some of Denver’s finest professionals.  They barely swept the rounds, inebriating themselves to perform even better, as alcohol always does .. 

With an awesome 3rd round, Alleycat almost pulled off second, slightly thwarted by JT, with consistent performance in all rounds.

The Dead Guy came within a grave’s chance, and the Longhorns had a surprisingly strong 3rd round earning a best improved team drink.

With trivia from Canada to Elton John, and Magic Johnson to LeBron <James>, you can never go wrong with cheap drinks and good times on Tuesdays at Charlies.

My first Record Breaker at Charlies during my career-

The deadly team JT has recruited and fortified its first place winning streak to 3.  With an unassisted victory, they shattered their previous record of 35 with 40, countem bucko, points (out of 55).  Congratulations guys!  I challenge others to beat these guys down, with weapons or stealth or whatever necessary.

Props to Alleycat, who nailed the Walter Kronkite CBS anchor start year (1962) to win extra drinks during Round 3.  They managed a 2nd place finish and plenty of free drinks!

The Dirrtys paired with the remaining member of Shipwreck to pull 3rd place.  Also a strong debut by the Girls.  Nice job folks!

Yes, Poland and Lithuania were united for over 2 centuries, and “flies” (coffee beans) sound gross to me too with Sambuca.

Fun times, cheap drinks and fatty patio party Tuesdays at Charlies!

-TL

Fun night tonight, with the whole bar staff partying for the belated holiday party.  Lots of cheap drinks and good times.

JT came back with a strong third round to pull off 1st place for the second week straight.  Great job guys!  They also guessed the closest Tiebreaker Smurf count within 2!  (There are 105)

Round winners and overall second, Alleycat came in with another solid performance.

The effervescent Bar Staff contingent, with a heavily-drunken inspired inappropriate name, came in a distant 3rd.  But they were sure a lot of fun!

Trivia every Tuesday at Charlies- best patio in town!

Cheers, Tory

Fun night at Charlies tonight, with a big turnout despite the closed patio bar… (it’ll be back tomorrow).  Lots of islands and European trivia, and JT came in for a long-awaited 1st place victory (by a big margin)!  Some people expect so much from themselves…

Another strong night for Alleycat- they beat JT for the 2nd Round free drinks by guessing a few closer Parisians to the actual population (2,153,600 city limits 2005).  They ultimately came out 2nd overall for the night.  Nice work guys!

Team Sugarpants, the perennial 3rd place team, vows to challenge these top guys next week. 

Great times, cheap drinks and free knowledge every Tuesday Trivia at Charlies.

Cheers!  ~Tory

With a 200$ Best Dressed bar tab up for grabs, it was a super great night at Charlies on Tuesday.  With the costumes rolling out with flair, there was a lot of Mardi Gras trivia excitement as well with thorough New Orleans trivia and beads everywhere!

Props to Alleycat, who won their second consecutive week reunified with the now defunct Meow.  Great job guys!

Newcomers Pink Flamingos got off to a great upside-down beak, one-legged start pulling off second place.  However, they bitterly vowed revenge for next Tuesday- at least you won the beads prize with about eleventy billion!

Solid as usual, JT returned this week to win the 3rd place bar tab.  Nice work JT!

We all definitely now know twice as much Mardi Gras trivia as would ever be useful in real life, hence the trivial nature of Tuesday Trivia nights at Charlies!

Join me next week for another exiting time~

Cheers~   Tory

Fun trivia night on Tuesday!  With the return of the”Alley” in the Cat, Meow/Alleycat pulled off a strong 1st place victory to take home the big bar tab.  For their debut, ‘Serena’s Mom’ earned a solid 2nd place finish and were definitely the sexiest Midwestern mamas in the whole place.  Team Sugarpants came out with 3rd, and but definitely got the 1st prize for trivia spirit.  No, you can’t submit 4 answers to one question…

The most exciting part of the night came during the 3rd round tiebreak.  The Losers, who decided to just play for round drinks, pulled off a 15-point tie with Meow/Alleycat.  It all came down to the population of Peru…

Occupying an area the size of a couple Texases, (Texii?) in West Central South America and immensly biodiverse, this nation also allows legal coca leaves.  Yay.  Powder is still illegal which is fine with me!  I wonder exactly how many of Peru’s 27, 212,890 are “chewers” of this Inca passion…  Great job to the Losers who knowingly knew they would lose but pulled off free drinks for the round!

Cheers to all, feel free to check out Charlie’s Trivia on Tuesdays with me.

-Tory

Tuesday Trivia went smoothly until the very last question….

Final Question Tiebreaker Showdown!  Although Gutterpuss ran away with First Place (great night!), it came down to a Final Tiebreaker for Second. 

The rookie Sugar Pants vs. veteran trivia team JT - and what exactly is the circumference of the moon in Miles?

Heart stop.  Actual retail value - 2,158 miles.  And LITERALLY by one measly mile, Sugar Pants comes away with Second Place!  Good job to all teams tonight.

Stop by for cheap drinks and fun times with me on Tuesdays at Charlies.

Cheers!

-Tory

As the cold blew in, Tuesday night came down to a final tiebreaker.  What was the July ‘07 Census of North Dakota?  How few people really want to live in that barren wasteland?

Eking out a small margin of victory, ‘Lannie’s Cock Tower Cabaret’ guessed closest to the number (642,200), to win 1st prize! 

Meow placed a tough game, coming out with second- great job guys!

Solid show by JT, with a strong 3rd place finish.

Good times every Tuesday at Charlies trivia night~

Cheers ~~ Tory

Greetings, my name is Tory, the new Charlie’s Trivia host!  Much appreciation to all who made it a great first gig for me. 

It was a tough competition at Charlies tonight, going back and forth all night between rounds. 

A hairline close 2nd place was pulled off by JT, followed closely by 3rd place Ninja Space Pirates.

With a strong final round, the King Prawns ran away with 1st place, knowing more about pop culture than I could ever imagine.  Great job!

 Please join me again next Tuesday for more drunken debauchery and trivia times.

Sincerely, Tory
