"We’d love you to stick around for dinner.
Yeah, we could have whatever’s lion around!
Wait, wait wait. I got one, I got one! Make mine a cub sandwich."

If you want to have as much fun as the hyenas making puns, come down to Nelsons tonight for a 90s Disney song quiz! ✨ Clearly the golden age of Disney hit movies (I'm definitely not partial), we'll feature songs and questions only from this time period. 🎶

As always, we recommend that you go to www.nelsonspub.at and reserve a table if you're coming but as long as there's space left over you can come without a reservation too.

Entry starts at 19:30 and the quiz at 20:00. The quiz is hosted by me, the wonderful W, this evening ✨ As always, we got stickers for everyone and some extra cuddly prizes for our top 3 teams 🏆

On a final note, the quiz will be held in English (as I'm still learning German), but you can write your answers in English or German.
