It’s trivia night at the New Parkway Theater, Oakland’s cult fave pub-meets-theater, and the room is packed. People are dressed in animal costumes. One man wears a shirt reading “The Nineties” in “Simpsons” font. And amid the chaos, a woman spills her drink, lamenting, “Oh no! I got beer in my Birkenstocks.”“Let’s meet our teams!” says theater manager and trivia host J Moses Ceasar, getting the party started. “There’s the Go-Go’s, Trivial Fursuit, Misfits, Stranger Danger, Femme Factales and Don’t Cry Over Spilled Beer. Yeah, I saw that you spilled.”The theme on this particular Thursday is Japan, inspired by the recent G7 summit, and competitors are fielding questions such as “What is Ronald McDonald’s name in Japan?” (Donald McDonald, in case you wondered.) The winner gets a free pitcher of beer or movie tickets.But the real prize is something much more: a sense of community — and an infusion of cash.For the taprooms, pubs and bars that sta...
