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.
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!
I recommend Richard McKenzie’s trivia at Grumpy’s Green Smith st on Wednesdays.
The Empress on Nicholson St, Fitzroy do a good music trivia on Sunday nights. Just try and get a table in the main room with the stage or you won’t be able to see a thing!
There’s a new pop culture trivia night starting on Mondays at the John Curtin Hotel in Carlton, and I think it’s going to be awesome [and I'm not just saying that because I'm running it...]
