Negroni Week
2019-06-24 - 2019-06-29 | The Old Pal, 1320 Prince Ave, Athens, GA, 30606, United States
Negroni Week is a week to drink for your cause!
For one week every June, bars and restaurants mix classic Negronis and Negroni variations for charitable causes. The Old Pal has once again selected our ACR pups to be their cause! This means a portion of each qualifying cocktail purchase from their bar June 24th – June 29th will be donated to ACR pups! The Old Pal is open from 4 pm – 2 am.
At the end of the week on Saturday June 29th from 4-6pm a few ACR pups will be hanging out at The Old Pal to say thanks for drinking to the pups and to meet and greet anyone that wants to drop by!
Negroni’s are a cocktail made from gin, vermouth, and Campari. Since 2013, Negroni Week has grown from about 120 participating venues to almost 10,000 venues around the world, and to date, they have collectively raised about $2 million for charitable causes.

Quiz for a Cause at Highwire Lounge

Teams of 1-6 players will compete for the top spot and the winning team will walk away with a cash prize. To be eligible for the cash prize a team must win 1st place and the entire team needs to have contributed to the fundraising effort, a small $5 per person “buy-in”. Teams register as they walk through the door!
The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.
Rounds 1, 4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won’t Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.
Its sure to be a fun filled night with good friends, good beer, good food, and most importantly for a good cause!
