April Pub Quiz Cancelled!
You are invited to attend our third monthly trivia night at The Prenup Pub on Thursday, April 25th. Please register before Monday, April 22nd at midnight.
The Prenup Pub is one of the best pubs in the city. It’s a Belgian style pub with a wonderful atmosphere, great food, and extraordinary draft beer, all at reasonable prices. In fact, the atmosphere is actually free! The draft beer list consists of 70 quality brews, of which most are European. There is also a sizeable wine list. The food menu is also extensive and also mostly European, with French, Belgian, Italian and German specialties. There are also quite a few vegetarian and vegan dishes.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
This will be an unusual pub quiz in that the participants will choose the categories before the quiz begins. Virtually any category is possible, including history, geography, 80s music, Soviet fashion, marine biology, supramolecular chemistry, and even cycling. The teams or four or five will brainstorm possible categories, and we all vote to determine the four most popular topics. Quiz questions in the four categories will be generated by AI.
The Prenup Pub is conveniently located at 191 College Street, just a five-minute walk west of Queen’s Park subway station. There also is street parking available, especially on McCaul Street. If more than 25 people register, we will be on second floor of the pub. If not, we will be in the west room on the main floor. View the map here.
As with all TBN events, we need volunteers. In this case, we are looking for one volunteer to help Ken with setting up and managing the quiz. To sign up, choose the Volunteer option. You will need to show up at 6:30.
Questions or concerns please contact Ken Lackman, Social Director at social@tbn.ca.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

This ride is relatively flat to Burlington, where we will stop at the Love Lettuce Cafe (399 John Street), which serves a wide variety of vegan meals, snacks, coffees and specialty drinks.
The routes to Burlington and back have been chosen so as to be as different as possible, and to differ from the High Park-Oakville segment of the Bedford-Oakville 100-km ride. The return route begins with a rail trail, and makes use of Lakeshore Blvd after Oakville where doing so is pleasant, but avoids it in the Port Credit area, where the local traffic can be unpleasant, and also avoids the Martin-Goodman trail as much as possible once back in Etobicoke (although we will have to take it easy in places).
All the GO stations along the route are marked on the Ride-with-GPS file, in case we need to bail out on the way back due to rain. If the forecast early Saturday morning looks bad from the start, I'll reschedule for Sunday.
Meet next to the Grenadier Restaurant if arriving by bike.
FOR THOSE ARRIVING BY CAR: High Park might be closed to vehicular traffic, but you can park on Ellis Ave and meet the group on the Martin Goodman trail (our route) next to where Ellis Ave forms a T intersection with Lakeshore Blvd West. We'll try to leave promptly on time, and should arrive a few minutes thereafter.
We are accepting "guest rider" registrations for this event. Guest registrations are $10 payable via PayPal.
