During the COVID-19 pandemic, many bars & restaurants have been required by law to limit their capacity or utilize outdoor space if social distancing is not achievable inside. In spring of 2020, under Governor Tony Evers’ "Safer at Home" order, bars were required to shut down from the end of March through May. These photos document this chapter in Madison’s history. Many establishments have withstood the trial, but for others this was last call.

Had a great time at local brewery Bang the Drum's trivia night this evening! Our team even game in fourth place, despite it being the first time for three out of four of us. So even though we didn't win a big prize for placing in the top three, we did win one of the rounds which got us a bag of chips, so that was pretty great :-)

The best part of this DeLorean was the childs car seat in the passenger seat!

Fun trivia evening with a great group of new and recent friends. Our previous core team was not available to play tonight, but we did very well winning two out three rounds and overall champs. Always fun meeting cool new people too!

Trivia night- second place this time.

Camera: Zero 2000 Pinhole

Film: Kodak Portra 400

Exposure Time: 3 Hours

Location: Belltown, Seattle

Series: Pinhole'd Breweries and Pubs

Continuing along with the Pinhole'd Breweries and Pubs series with an offering from the Frontier Room. This establishment has proven to be rather difficult to capture with my pinhole camera due to it's dark interior and dim lighting. Luck would have it that my friends and I frequent the Frontier Room most Wednesdays for Geeks Who Drink trivia, allowing me to experiment with my pinhole camera. The perfect way to celebrate the half way point of the work week.

If you love trivia you should check out the Geeks Who Drink website (linked above), they have outfits in several major US cities around the country, who knows they might be in yours. Its free to play, light hearted and heavy on the pop culture. Winners get money off their tab and their is chances for free beer between rounds. Whats not to like right?

The restaurant itself is frontier logging themed as you might guess from the name on the marquee. Large murals and photographs adorn the walls of turn of the century loggers and such. The food is barbecue and lots of it. And of course the bar is stocked full of many of the best local beers, as is to be expected in any self-respecting Seattle establishment.

The Frontier Room's website can be found here.

Manual stimulation of both the lower and upper lip by utilizing a ball-point pen, seems to aid the cognitive abilities of a pub quiz contestant in Santa Monica, California.

It hearkened back to the moment in Reservoir Dogs, where Harvey Keitel snatches Lawrence Tierney's address book at the diner.
