Pub trivia is a weekly institution for many groups of mates. It’s the perfect chance to get together mid-week – but finding the right pub trivia quiz night can be an art.
For starters, there’s the trivia questions involved – are you after rock trivia, sports trivia, highbrow quizzes, or simply something that involves a game of Gay Chicken as the tiebreaker?
Maybe it’s the prize that’s worth playing for – even if it’s just for a slab of Melbourne Bitter. Perhaps the pub simply just does a great parma and someone happens to be yelling trivia questions at the time.
Everyone’s got their favourites – so where is your regular pub trivia night, and why does it stand out?
You’ll find me most Wednesdays at the Corner Hotel’s rock and pop trivia. If you’ve never encountered Jess McGuire of RRR or Defamer Australia fame, you’re in for a real treat. If you like Defamer, you’ll love her trivia.
Bring all your useless pop culture knowledge, and warm up for the “tits and arse” round…
Just watch out for the big team on the long table in the back corner. Those guys totally cheat on their iPhones :P
easily the best is trivia is at the East Brunswick on a Tuesday night – nice mix of the incredibly easy and sometimes incredibly hard questions that lean heavily in the pop culture and music slant. First prize is a bit shit though (a slab of Melbourne Bitter), but it’s got the nice Brunswick vibe to it, and because most locals are bohemian student types, cheating bastards with iPhones are at a minimum. It’s also their cheap parma night too.
… the East Brunno trvia is also hosted by Jess :)
Seconding the Corner Hotel recommendation. The only bad thing about it: I hate having to take a slab of Melbourne Bitter home – first place, my arse!
PS: our crew never cheat on our iPhones – we’re too busy making stupid posts on Twitter!
We don’t even post on Twitter – only during breaks between rounds.
Don’t be a crying pussy just because we’re smarter than you.
Also, Jess McGuire is shit.
Bitch needs to get a sense of humor.
lol, I have no idea who you are, but from those two messages, I can tell that you’re a fuckwit.
I recommend Richard McKenzie’s trivia at Grumpy’s Green Smith st on Wednesdays.
