Pub trivia has really become a popular thing, and I can't be more happy about it. I've been to 4 different trivia nights...in the past 4 nights*! Three of those were right here in (or near-ish) my home town. Not bad for a sleepy little burg. Anyway, in hopes of sharing my affinity (and local knowledge), I put together a list of the wheres, whens, and whys. If I'm missing one, let me know. Or if your town has an exceptional pub quiz, I might just have to plan a visit.
Place | Time/Day | Pros | Cons | | Mondays Thursdays 8:00pm | $85 in gift certificates for prizes(!), great food, chill atmosphere, really nice host | Poorly attended*, sometimes formulaic/blah questions* | | Tuesdays 9:00pm | Competitive while staying fun, great atmosphere*, reserved table for previous week's winner, good questions | Crowded, crappy prizes*, annoyingly hard music round, late hour for us party poopers | | Wednesdays 7:00pm | Super fun(!), super well written questions, respectable prizes, great group of folks who play, great funny host, timing/food makes for great combo with dinner | 20-minute drive from just about anywhere, occasional dance-off tie breaker* |
