Move over, Cottage—there’s a new hotspot in San Diego for fans of Heated Rivalry, and it’s taking the city by storm. Miss B’s Coconut Club, a self-proclaimed ‘laid-back hangout’ in Mission Beach, has become the ultimate destination for enthusiasts of the scorching HBO series. But here’s where it gets exciting: they’re not just hosting one trivia night—they’re hosting five, and each event sells out faster than you can say ‘hockey boy tension.’ The frenzy began on January 29 and will continue through March 15, with Miss B’s adding more dates to keep up with the demand. As their Instagram post boldly declared, ‘More mocktails. More chaos. More hockey boy tension’ (https://www.instagram.com/p/DTV99RTEug8/).
For those who’ve been living under a rock, Heated Rivalry first ignited screens on Canada’s Crave streaming platform, quickly becoming its most-watched series ever (https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/heated-rivalry-hbo-biggest-tv-show-surprise-hit-1236614905/). When it landed on HBO Max on November 28 (https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/hbo-max/romantic-drama-series-heated-rivalry-debuts-november-28-hbo-max), fans worldwide dove headfirst into the steamy love story between fictional hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. And this is the part most people miss: the actors behind these characters, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, have skyrocketed to fame, even being chosen as torchbearers for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in February (https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/01/22/heated-rivalry-torchbearers/).
Back in San Diego, Miss B’s—no stranger to pop culture-themed events—has teamed up with Mocktail and Mingle to create an unforgettable experience. Here’s the twist: while the series is based on Rachel Reid’s 2019 book, the trivia questions will focus solely on the show. Fans will compete in teams of four for prizes, sipping on custom mocktails that perfectly complement the drama. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is it fair to exclude book-specific questions when the series owes its roots to Reid’s novel? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
If trivia isn’t your speed, San Diego has another treat in store: the Heated RivalRave on February 6 at The Observatory North Park (https://www.livenation.com/event/vvG1iZ_ewL-eag/club-90s-presents-heated-rivalrave-18-w-id). Whether you’re team Shane or team Ilya, there’s no denying that Heated Rivalry has taken over the cultural zeitgeist—and Miss B’s is right at the heart of it. This article has been updated to clarify the location of Miss B’s, ensuring you don’t miss out on the action. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your teammates and get ready to dive into the chaos!
