pub quizzes

Tavern knowledge contests

Pub quizzes are trivia competitions held at bars and pubs, typically on a weekly night.

Teams answer questions across categories—history, pop culture, sports, science—competing for prizes or just bragging rights.

The format has become a social institution in Britain and Ireland, spreading to pubs worldwide: Tuesday is pub quiz night at the local.
