Trina’s is bustling with arcade action.
Trina’s Starlite Lounge
Amesbury
Every Wednesday is Stump Trivia Night, with teams filling in the booths in front to compete in a general knowledge–style quiz format. Teams wager points to play to their strengths, with the top prize being a free appetizer (we’d suggest the Starlite Wings) and a $25 gift card. When you’re done, round out the night with something from their terrific cocktail list and some old-school pinball in the back.
