The last time I went out and played NTN was over ten years ago when I was free and single. I used to be a force. Now with kiddos and living in the sticks I hadn't thought about it for a decade. They opened a new bar in town that has it! We had a babysitter last night so we went out and tried it.
I got crushed

Not enough questions about the von Trapp family?
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

We used to have a great steakhouse here in Frankfort called Rio's. They had NTN. I went there with my mother and stepfather many times as a teen. Rio's went out of business 10 years ago.
I'd love to play NTN again, but I don't know where to go here in central KY.

Yeah I don't know where to go around here either. I used to play at Damon's when I was in college, and since that closed I don't know where they have it. Is there a directory out there somewhere?

I wonder if I'm the only one on here who's never played NTN before. I wouldn't even know an NTN machine if I walked right into it...

I used to play NTN on those occasional nights when I could get out to it. Over the past year or so, I've decided I enjoy pub trivia more and use those nights that way.

It must be my fault you got crushed for suggesting you switch back to Puzzled Julie....

They must only be in Disneyland or Hawaii.
Shall we make this one of the prerequisites for membership in the AtFnS Club? Current population: 2.
I'm darned good and ready.

Sweet...I'll be at Adam's Mill!!! I love that place. I had no idea that they had it there, but the bar is upstairs so it's easy to overlook. Thanks!!

I always expect Puzzled Julie's quote to be something along the lines of "Did I turn off the gas before I left"?

Crap I quoted the wrong post. I meant for it to be the 'what's with the French, you ignorant slut?' one.

Wow, I am surprised at just how many NTN restaurants are in Lexington and Louisville. I'll have to go to one of these places one Saturday night.

I was sure they didn't do that sort of thing around here, because I'd never heard of it outside this board.
So I check the site that Julie provided and there's one within walking distance of my house. Ha!

Will we need to post a guard to enforce club rules?

Nah, I don't know anybody who would go with me to play. What I thought was funny is that I go past there on my way to....well, as it turns out, anywhere! and I've never even bothered to look at their advertisements. I'll have to check it out (to see if it's advertised on the signs) on my way to the post office today.

There's one in the same strip mall as our former favorite pizza joint (it got sold and went downhill), but that place boldly advertises KARAOKE, so we never popped our heads in to see what it was all about!

Most NTN places don't advertise. At least the ones that I play at. You don't have to play with anyone though I think it's more fun. And in actuality you're playing against 3000 other bars.
I used to play a lot but now I only play Showdown on Tuesdays with some gals I met down in Newport, though my home bar is still Shannons in Long Beach.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

No NTN in my hoosier town! YES!
The closest one is 10 miles away.....

Since the place near me is ranked about 2863, and there's only 3000 bars, I can assume they really specialize in KARAOKE...
