Baxter Trivia is tonight at 8:30. In celebration of me making it another year on this side of the grass, tonight’s categories are a few of MY favorite things (like Samwise Gamgee, the dog in the picture. He’s not the category. That would be dumb. But the name Samwise is a hint as to one of the categories.) Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places + prizes for the winners of each round.

The Triangle has some seriously underrated spots to level up your weekends 🎮 From retro barcades to self-pour tap rooms, there's something for every type of gamer, and most people only know about one or two of these. Tap through to see all 8 spots. 🔖 Save this for your next night out and tag whoever you're bringing. CORRECTION: @mybadmachines (Slide 3) is located in Cary NOT Durham

To the folks who will inevitably ask today, No we are not part of the giant UNC BarGolf going on after 6:30pm tonight. There are 9 bars/restaurants on the east end of Franklin participating, but us folks towards the west end and in Carrboro are not part of it. Obviously you’re still welcome to swing through, but just a heads up before the question is asked 100 times. To the people that don’t know, around this time of the year there’s a giant BarGolf competition for UNC seniors going on. From what I understand it’s several thousand people this year, so it’s going to be utter chaos at those places tonight, so be careful if you’re going out looking for a laid back evening. That being said a bunch of us are not part of it, so if you need an escape from the shenanigans, we’ll be here for you! Of course everybody is more than welcome to come hang out, but for those of you trying to escape it shouldn’t be that bad down this way and into Carrboro. Hours tonight: 3pm-2am (ALL AGES till 7pm and 18+ till 2am) Be safe and may the odds be ever in your favor if you brave the Thunder-dome. 👾❤️ #thunderdome

Head bartender/local celebrity and she’s over there asleep on the couch like a lazy slob. Typical. Luckily we have an awesome crew that can fill in for her. Come check us out and show PiePan a little love. As per usual all cat pets are free…if she’ll let you. 3pm-2am (Family hours until 7pm and 18+ after) 👾
