Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. D'oh! Where did Homer like to relax with the local libation in "The Simpsons"?

Answer: Moe's

Moe's Tavern was the kind of establishment that would give a 'spit and sawdust' joint a good name. If you didn't drink Duff Beer, there was little choice - especially after Moe sold a vintage wine worth thousands to Homer and Marge for a couple of dollars. "The Simpsons" was a long running animated TV show that first aired in December 1989.

2. What was the name of the TV drinking establishment where, it was claimed, "everyone knows your name"?

Answer: Cheers

"Cheers" was a cellar bar in Boston in the long-running USA comedy of the same name. The quote is from the opening lyrics:

"Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name."

"Cheers" ran from 1982 to 1993.

3. Let the band play Dixie: Where did the 'good old boys' like to retire for a drink or two in "The Dukes of Hazard"?

Answer: The Boar's Nest

The Boar's Nest was the restaurant/bar/club run by Boss Hogg in the TV show that ran from January 1979 to February 1985. Set in Georgia, it was a show about a near-Hillbilly family and their adventures on the wrong side of the law.

4. What was the name of the public house that was central to so much action in the British TV soap "Emmerdale"?

Answer: The Woolpack

'The Woolpack' featured in just about every episode and its succession of owners were at the heart of village life. I don't think there are too many 'Red Rose Taverns' in Yorkshire, the red rose being the symbol of Lancashire, a bitter rival to the white rose county of Yorkshire. "Emmerdale" began life as "Emmerdale Farm" in 1972.

5. Here's looking at you kid: In which drinking establishment did a lot of the action take place in the movie "Casablanca"?

Answer: Caf� Americain

"Rick's Caf� Americain" was owned by Rick Blaine (played by Humphrey Bogart) in what became regarded as one of Hollywood's best-ever movies. Made in 1942, it was the story of an ill-fated wartime romance between an expatriate American (Humphrey Bogart) running a nightclub in Casablanca and his former lover (Ingrid Bergman) who turned up with her Czech Resistance husband - just a step ahead of the Nazis.

Some of Hollywood's most quoted lines come from the movie (as well as some of the most misquoted).

6. In "The Silver Tongued Devil and I", what was the name of the bar Kris Kristofferson sang of frequenting in order to meet the female of the species?

Answer: The Tally Ho Tavern

"I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern,
To buy me a bottle of beer.
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden,
Whose eyes were as dark as her hair.
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle,
For something unfoolish to say.
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows,
And smilingly stole her away."

That silver-tongued devil we came to believe was the flip side of the tongue-tied narrator of the song..."And some people swear he's my double/And some even say we're the same..."

7. You're having a laugh, well actually, no, there were never too many laughs in the British TV soap "EastEnders"; what was the name of the local hostelry?

Answer: The Queen Victoria

"Gritty" was a word that was often mentioned in the same sentence as "EastEnders" (this spelling is insisted on by the BBC). There were more murderers, tougher storylines and fewer laughs than in its main rival, ITV's "Coronation Street". The show "EastEnders" was launched by the BBC in 1985 to try to capture the level of huge audience numbers that "Coronation Street" garnered week after week.

8. Emmylou Harris sang of a queen who ruled a smoky barroom kingdom with a a wine glass as a sceptre and a bar stool as a throne. What was the name of the establishment?

Answer: The Silver Dollar

"She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
She rules this smoky kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin' to win her favors
To see which one will take the
Queen of the Silver Dollar home..."

Others to cover the song included Dr Hook, Porter Wagoner and Dave and Sugar. Shel Silverstein wrote the words and music.

9. The opening scenes of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic book "Treasure Island" were set in a public house. What was it called?

Answer: Admiral Benbow Inn

The Admiral Benbow Inn was located in the south-east of England and was owned by the parents of the young narrator of the tale, Jim Hawkins. His adventures began after former shipmates came looking for a lodger, Billy Bones, with tales of a pirate's summons and a treasure map.

The book became a popular piece of literature and ten movies were produced between 1920 and 1999, including one version featuring the Muppets (in 1996).

10. In the British TV soap "Coronation Street", where did the locals like to drink?

Answer: The Rovers Return

Usually referred to simply as The Rovers, this was the main drinking joint in what became the UK's longest running TV soap opera. "Coronation Street" was also a show that attracted audiences throughout the world, even in non-English speaking countries - such as America. (Only joking). "Coronation Street" was first broadcast in glorious black and white in 1960.
