Trivia & Thirsty Thursdays
Program Details & Spotlights
Put your knowledge to the test at Coyote Hole Ciderworks' weekly Trivia & Thirsty Thursday. Gather your friends to compete in diverse trivia categories while enjoying $5 draft specials and delicious drafthouse eats like flatbreads, wings, and Bavarian pretzels. This popular community event is a fantastic way to kick off the weekend early near Lake Anna.
When the sun starts to dip over Lake Anna on a Thursday afternoon, locals know the weekend doesn't have to wait. Tucked away just minutes from the water in Mineral, Prospect Drafthouse at Coyote Hole turns the mid-week slump into the ultimate pre-weekend warm-up. Trivia & Thirsty Thursdays has quickly become a beloved weekly tradition for both year-round residents and smart weekenders who sneak down to the lake early to beat the Friday traffic.
The vibe here is pure Lake Anna casual. Stepping into the drafthouse, you are greeted by the warm aroma of freshly baked flatbreads and the lively hum of neighbors catching up. It’s a space where muddy boat shoes and flip-flops are just as welcome as business casual. The trivia itself strikes the perfect balance between competitive fire and lighthearted fun, featuring a rotating wheel of categories that ensures everyone from history buffs to pop-culture fanatics gets their moment to shine.
Of course, you can't talk about Coyote Hole without mentioning their incredible draft lineup. While they are famous for their locally crafted hard ciders—made with delicious Virginia apples—the Prospect Drafthouse side of things brings an exceptional tap list of craft beers to the table. Pairing a cold $5 draft special with a basket of their famous warm Bavarian pretzels or crispy wings makes for the perfect fuel to power your brain cells through those tricky tie-breaker rounds.
