BarFly's Review of Waterwheel Lounge
Ping Pong
This bar on any given night is a special treat if you love a classic dive bar. Dive bar prices, stiff drinks and an awesome unpretentious staff makes me happy. Also there is a hodgepodge of random patrons, everything from young hipsters, to yups, to super nerd microsoft employee type people to dirty biker guys and firefighters. The night I have the most fun there is on Wednesdays for trivia. The trivia host is this cute kind of weird and sassy girl who wears a wireless mic. She never turns it off and walks around the room making fun of all the old barfly dudes who heckle her and anyone else who smarts off and it's pretty funny to listen to. It's a small room so there aren't a lot of teams, it's usually packed and it's really fun to play. I like it personally because the questions are just classic knowledge stuff. Stuff everyone learned in school tossed in with random categories and it's different all the time. There was even a spelling bee round once. They also have karaoke on Tuesdays, Fridays and I think Saturdays too if you're into that kind of thing.
