My friends and I are regulars at McMullan's for trivia but we were in the mood to try something new. We heard about the new trivia at Firkin that is on Tuesdays at 7 and were excited to give it a try. They start a little earlier than McMullan's, which is a plus, since it's a work night.
We arrived around 6pm to get a seat and drinks before trivia started. They have happy hour specials that go until 7 as well as other beer specials that run throughout trivia, which is great. I only ordered an iced tea, and I have to say it was terrible. It was very watered down and didn't taste very good at atll. I'll stick with water or beer next time. Our server was attentive and friendly. One complaint on the drinks was that despite the bar not being overly crowded, about an hour in they began serving beers in plastic cups instead of glasses to everyone. I suspect they either don't have enough staff to handle a trivia crowd and turn around on washing dishes or they need to invest in more glasses.
We enjoyed trivia, although McMullan's still has my heart. They miscalculated our scores, but when we brought this to their attention they rectified the situation quickly. The food was just ok. I ordered a basic BLT-A sandwich and devoured it quickly as I was starving. It was good, but really nothing special. My fella ordered the pineapple curry wings and these were the star of the show. I really enjoyed the flavor and look forward to returning just for these. I purchased the Groupon that is available solely to try these wings again. I don't think this place has won us over from McMullan's, but it's an ok choice if you're in the area.
