There is a Tavern in the Town Trivia Quiz

Answer: Victor Laszlo

"Everybody Comes to Rick's" was an unproduced play bought by Warner Bros. movie studios that became the movie "Casablanca" in 1942, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The story revolved around a nightclub in Casablanca, Morocco, owned by American ex-patriot Rick Blaine (Bogart) and the people living in the city and passing through, who were waiting for World War II to engulf them. Bergman played Ilsa Lind, a former lover of Blaine's.

Her husband, Victor Laszlo, was played by Paul Henreid.

The two needed a letter of transit to leave Morocco and get to a safe country.

Answer: Norm Peterson

"Cheers" was an American sit-com that ran for eleven seasons on the NBC television network. It was a friendly Boston neighborhood bar where "everybody knows your name", run by Sam Malone (Ted Danson), a former relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. One of the regulars was Norm Peterson, played by George Wendt. An accountant, who often had no work, Norm spent most of his time camped out at the end of the bar.

The bar itself was modeled on the Bull & Finch Pub on Beacon St. in Boston. Because of the success of the TV show it has been renamed Cheers Beacon Hill. If you go there you'll find a plaque at the end of the bar indicating that that seat is reserved for Norm Peterson.

Answer: Hagrid

In the wizarding world of "Harry Potter" the Leaky Cauldron was known as a pleasant place for wizards and witches to meet or stay while in London. Though appearing to be located on Charing Cross Road it was originally 1 Diagon Alley, an area of specialty shops in the magical world. Built in the early 1500s it was open to wizards and muggles alike but after the passing of the Statute of Secrecy in 1692 some charms were added to the structure giving it a downtrodden and unpleasant look. The entrance to Diagon Alley was hidden behind a wall in the rear courtyard.

If you knew which bricks to press in the rear courtyard wall you could open passages to Diagon Alley or the sinister Knockturn alley. When Hagrid brought Harry Potter through on Harry's first trip to Diagon Alley for school supplies in 1991, Tom the landlord greeted Hagrid as an old friend. Considering his size, Hagrid the half-giant was likely a well-spending customer too since his choice of mug was probably about the size of a bucket.

Answer: Morn

Quark's Bar, Grill, Embassy, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade, to use its full name, was located on the Promenade on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Morn, a Lurian, was said to be loquacious - although we never heard him say anything! He owned a shipping business but spent an inordinate amount of time at Quark's.

The character is modelled after Norm on "Cheers". (His name is an anagram of Norm.)

Answer: Tony Soprano

If you were a "waste management consultant" having your office in a strip club named "Bada Bing" might not seem to be the best of locations. On the other hand, if you were the underboss of a Mafia crime family, it would be right in line, as it was for Tony Soprano, played by James Gandolfini in HBO network's "The Sopranos". The crime-drama series, which ran from 1999 to 2007, concerned Tony's personal life as well as his "business". Trying to run a profitable crime organization, watching out for the exploits of competing gangs and trying to appear as an ordinary working man might drive someone crazy and, in fact, we see Tony at his psychiatrist's office in some episodes.

The program was highly regarded and is considered by critics as one of the best television shows of all time. Among other honors it won twenty-one Primetime Emmy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards.

Answer: Pilgrims

The Leaky Cauldron may have been a place for magical people to stay when in London but the Tabard Inn really was a place for non-magical people to stay while in London - as well as being a location in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales". The inn was located in London's Southwark district. Things that were outlawed in the rest of London were permitted in Southwark, thus it became London's "entertainment" district.

The inn was a starting place for pilgrims making a trip to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. Chaucer wrote his "Tales" at the end of the 14th century. He envisioned a story-telling contest among thirty people - twenty-four of whose tales are told in the book - on their way to the cathedral and back. Whoever was judged the winner would get a free dinner at the Tabard upon their return.

Answer: Jack, Janet, Chrissy

"Three's Company" was an American sitcom which ran for eight seasons, modeled on Britain's "Man about the House". It was about three people sharing an apartment: John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers (who was replaced by two other actresses over the years).

The show was set in Santa Monica, California, supposedly near the beach. One of the local meeting places for the roommates and their friends and dates was The Regal Beagle Lounge, a friendly place to have some drinks or a sandwich. The Lounge was inspired by a real Santa Monica restaurant, the Chez Jay, which was and continues to be something of a celebrity hangout.

Answer: Austin Powers

Part of the improbable story of Austin Powers was that not only was he a 1960s British spy living an affluent lifestyle but living an affluent lifestyle and flaunting it. The 1997 film "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" starred Mike Myers as Powers and as his nemesis, Dr. Evil. Of course the bad guy wanted to construct a world empire and Powers was out to foil him. As Powers tried to spend an evening at the swinging nightclub named in this question Dr. Evil had a henchman attempt to assassinate Powers who caught on to the plot. It led to Dr. Evil escaping, being cryogenically frozen and sent into space. Powers volunteered to be frozen in case Evil ever returned to Earth.

There was more of the Electric Psychedelic Pussycat Swingers Club shown in a promotional one-hour special (well, 42 minutes, actually) on the MTV Network. Imitating the style of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" Myers showed clips from the movie interspersed with 1960s music and quick comedy lines.

Answer: Miss Kitty

The Long Branch Saloon was the featured watering hole in "Gunsmoke", a radio, then TV, drama that lasted from 1952 to 1975. It centered on Dodge City, Kansas in the 1870s, as Americans moved west. The star of the show was the character of Marshall Matt Dillon, played on radio by William Conrad and on television by James Arness. The radio series ran from 1952 to 1961. With the emergence of TV as an entertainment medium the successful show seemed a natural for the new medium, and it was; all told, there were 635 TV episodes. If that wasn't enough there were five made-for TV movies in the 1980s and '90s.

Another of the primary cast was Kathleen "Kitty" Russell (Georgia Ellis on radio and Amanda Blake on TV) generally known as Miss Kitty, a saloon girl on radio and eventually a co-owner of the saloon on television. She and Marshall Dillon had a relationship of some kind but the audience was never told exactly what it was.

There was a Long Branch Saloon in real life, in Dodge City, Kansas, that was built around 1874. It got its name from one of its owners, William Harris, who was from Long Branch, New Jersey.

Answer: Sally Bowles

The 1972 movie "Cabaret" was based on a 1966 musical of the same name. It took place in Berlin, Germany during the Weimer Republic in 1931. As the Republic started giving way to Nazi Germany the decadent cabaret lifestyle of some of the characters came into question.

Sally Bowles (played in the movie by Liza Minnelli) was an American living a promiscuous lifestyle, supporting herself as a singer in the cabaret. Her attempts at a conventional relationship were observed as were subplots of people dealing with the changing political landscape. Over time we saw the usual audience changing from pleasure seekers to uniformed Nazis as Sally tried to survive.
