Listen to JOE’s brand new GOT reaction show, The North Awaits, with Michael Fry & Carl Kinsella right here.
A quiz, screening, and some of the cast are attending too. Grab your Game of Thrones pals.
Now that the final three episodes of Game of Thrones are drawing ever closer – excuse us while we cry – some of the big questions are yet to be answered.
Again, consider this to be your spoiler alert warning if you haven’t seen the latest episode.
Who will take the Iron Throne? Will Daenerys go full Mad Queen and burn King’s Landing to ashes? What’s left of The North’s military power after the Battle of Winterfell? Are the White Walkers 100% gone?
Will Tyrion betray Dany? Emilia Clarke recently said that the fifth episode is ‘bigger’ than the Battle of Winterfell, what’s that going to be like? Is Jon’s claim to the Iron Throne about to push Daenerys over the edge? Will Bronn ever get his castle? Can Yohn Royce finish a conversation without somebody interrupting him?
All important questions that we hope will be answered in the future, but what about the history of Game of Thrones?
Well, if you’re the type of person that drinks and knows things, we’ve found the perfect night for you.
To mark the release of every single episode in Season 8, Pug Uglys in Bedford Street, Belfast have been hosting the ultimate Game of Thrones experience.
What does this involve?
Well, every Monday night, there’s a screening of each episode, a Game of Thrones-themed bar, a quiz about the show, drinking horns so you can knock back those beers like Tormund, and an actual Iron Throne for you to sit on.
However, that’s not all.
If that wasn’t enough, you can get a sword and cloak to wear (after all, it gets cold in The North) and there’s also themed cocktails.
However, the best is yet to come.
You can also meet the actual direwolves from the show and get your picture taken with the lovable dogs – Odin and Thor.
The evening is the brainchild of the Mulhall family – William, Ross, and their father have all worked on Game of Thrones since the very first episode and they’re the owners of the dogs.
Aside from this, they’re also lovely people that have more interesting stories about life in Westeros than the Three-Eyed Raven, Tyrion Lannister, and Jon Snow combined.
To sweeten the deal, the lads told JOE that Megan Parkinson (Alys Karstark) recently flew in to Belfast to attend the night, watch an episode with fans, and attend a Q&A afterwards.
In terms of the upcoming weeks, we’re told that the event for the last episode will feature an actor that has not yet been seen on screen in Season 8. We’re intrigued.
Each screening starts with a Game of Thrones quiz from 19:00 until 20:30, just before each episode airs.
Standard entry for the evening costs £15 but there’s also a deal that sees you get a drinking horn and a signed Pawtograph (that’s an autograph from the Direwolves) for £25.
Tickets can be purchased here and if you’re looking for a little taste of what’s in store, take a look.
