Head for hold'n! Catering businesses can no longer open with the coronas, but many are trying to make the best of it. For as't nait gait as it mot, mot't mor as it gait.
The same goes for Bar Smoke on the Grote Markt. Normally Smoke is a restaurant, bar and event location with live music and stand up comedy. During the lockdown, they switched to other revenue models. In addition to collecting and delivering food and specialty beers, they are organizing the Grote on-line Grunnquiz on 27 November with questions about everything you can think of about the city and the surrounding area. Think places, locations, music, local heroes, local product, sayings, history, etc.
For see Grunn's lair my young!
“We had actually wanted to hold a quiz about Groningen in all its facets for a long time. This lockdown gives us the space to get that done again. In the quiz we will collaborate a lot with local entrepreneurs and also put them in the spotlight. It's amazing how many people are already willing to participate in this.

It will be a quiz of Groningen sobriety, in which all layers of the population participate. Exactly what Groningen is like and what fits Smoke completely. From Jonnie van de Straatkrant to former head coach of FC Groningen, Erwin van de Looi.
