About a Jeopardy! trivia night at the Brindle Room

We received an email from John Tobin, a Brooklyn Heights resident who spends a lot of time in the East Village. 

"I'm a big fan of the show Jeopardy!, so I created my own clone of the game. Basically, I bought some replica buzzers and found a database of the real Jeopardy! questions online, then stitched it all together with a web-app I coded. It's a pretty realistic recreation of the show!"

You can play it yourself tomorrow (Monday) night, as Tobin is hosting a Jeopardy! night at the Brindle Room, 647 E. 11th Street at Avenue C. 

"My hope is that this is a differentiated trivia night," he said. 

Games will run every 20 minutes from 7-9 p.m., with a champions round at 9 p.m.

The Brindle Room is on the hunt for a new home

Several readers have asked about the status of the Brindle Room, the restaurant that served "eclectic comfort food" at 277 E. 10th St. 

Workers recently removed the sign and cleared out the space here between Avenue A and First Avenue.

Owner Jeremy Spector confirmed that the Brindle Room is closed for now after 11 years at the address. 

"We are currently looking for a new location. We hope to be open this fall," he said in an email. "We're looking at spaces in the East Village. However, we haven't ruled out another neighborhood. We came close on a space. But it fell through. So we will keep trying." 

The Brindle Room was open for takeout during the early days of the pandemic but has remained closed since the spring of 2020.
