Beef O'Brady's Trivia Preview (Team 3)

By Lindsay Dobras

ATHENS, Ga. – Are you tired of the old pre-gaming ritual before those downtown nights? Then it’s time to test your knowledge while enjoying great beer specials during trivia at Beef ‘O’ Brady’s restaurant.
Beef ‘O’Brady’s, located on the East side of Athens near Kroger, has an enjoyable atmosphere and is a great place to come with friends. On Monday and Wednesday nights, Beef’s, as many regulars call it, offers trivia, cheap beer and cash prizes for trivia winners.
“I have been to trivia five or six times now,” said Maggie Henderson, a marketing major from Savannah, Ga. “I always bring my guy friends who know a lot about sports. We haven’t won yet, but we always have fun coming here before heading out for the night.”

  1. Lindsay and Marcus,

    Nice light tone in this feature bit. Good stopping place after the first quote.

    You need to be careful in this story to make sure you're writing journalism and not ad copy. Reading this, I feel a little like you're trying to drum up business for Beef's. You can capture the atmosphere and describe the event without using promotional language (like "enjoying great beer specials" and "has an enjoyable atmosphere and is a great place to come with friends.") Report on what you see and hear, but remember that your loyalty is to your general audience, not the restaurant.

    Also, make sure that headline has a subject and a verb, and save the "Team 3" notation for the blog's label.
