Chicago Trivia Nights by Day of the Week

Every week, Chicagoans have over 100 pub trivia opportunities to choose from. What are you waiting for Trebek? It's time to pair craft beer (or whatever your flavor) with that cranium. Here's a random fact you probably won't be asked at your next trivia adventure: What is the average start time for pub trivia in Chicago? 7:54pm. Where is the epicenter of the Chicago trivia circuit? Depaul. Only so much learning can be done in the classroom. That said, the most common trivia themes are current events, pop culture, and music. Waterhouse Tavern & Grill is home to Chicago's only 'kinky' trivia, where competitors with the most sexual prowess are in a good position to win. Joe's on Weed has a rotating trivia theme primarily about TV/movies such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Seinfeld, Friends, or Sex and the City. Logan Bar in Logan Square hosts a live trivia game show called Riddle Me That on Tuesdays. Check out the Bevv map for where to assemble your quiz squad, and what to drink while you think.
