quiz night

Bar trivia event

Quiz night is a social event, typically held at a pub or bar, where teams compete to answer trivia questions.

A host reads questions across various categories—history, pop culture, science, sports—and teams write down answers.

Quiz nights are popular in British and Irish pub culture and have spread to other English-speaking countries: It's quiz night at the Crown—want to join our team?
