Put Your Trivia to the Test at these 4 Venues

Did you know Australia is wider than the moon and Venus is the only planet to spin clockwise?

How’s your trivia knowledge? Every week around Australia avid trivia buffs put their knowledge and pride to the test in competitions at pubs, clubs and restaurants – here are four venues where trivia rules:

Head down Defries Avenue to find Zetland’s local gastropub, Village Crown for gourmet-style dishes and meticulously crafted drinks. This vibrant, spacious and earthy venue located beside East Village Shopping Centre is more than just a place to eat and drink – it is a dining destination worth visiting time and again to indulge in signature dishes crafted with passion and precision.

 

Tuesday is Trivia Night – if you think you are the most knowledgeable local, stop in from 7 pm and test yourself – you might just win vouchers for the pub! Check out Tuesday specials on the menu with dishes like chicken schnitzel and parmigiana at discounted prices; steak lovers opt for a T-bone with chips, salad and peppercorn sauce, washed down with an ice-cold pot of beer.

Sample the full range of South Australia's iconic Coopers beer inside The Original Coopers Alehouse, located in the heart of Adelaide City on Pulteney Street. Enjoy a leisurely lunch with friends or a vibrant evening of ambient dining among rich timbers and stone walls and feel the warmth of a wood-fired oven as it cooks mouth-watering pizzas.

 

The team from Quiz Meisters takes over the bar every Tuesday to host a weekly Quiz Night – expect a completely hilarious audio visual experience with plenty of fun, games and prizes throughout the night; settle in, grab one of the beers and ciders on tap or ask for a wine list to browse over a selection of the state's best before delving into popular pub fare, featuring fresh local produce. 

Standing at the meeting point of Fitzroy and Collingwood since 1853, the Birmingham Hotel on Smith Street delivers no nonsense, just good, drinks and even better service. Whether it’s just a catch-up with mates, a cheap meal, functions, a game of footy or the biggest pay-per-view event of the year, ‘The Birmy’ as it is fondly known has got it covered.

 

Hosted by comedian, Lisa Gatenby from Original Bingo and Trivia, join the question action from 7.30 pm on Thursday nights with heaps of prizes and the coveted lamp up for grabs; Happy Hour runs from 3 pm-7 pm, so come on down early and grab a drink and a chicken parma and get in the zone. Trivia Night books out quickly, so get in fast.

Proudly keeping true to its heritage, discover the last country pub in the city at East Sydney Hotel on the corner of Crown and Cathedral Streets in Woolloomooloo. Built in 1856, this watering hole is an iconic landmark that has kept its country charm with no pokies, real conversations and good food; the front bar is full of character with memorabilia on the walls and interesting locals who have been drinking here for years. 

 

Bring the gang on Wednesdays for Trivia Night with a weekly changing theme such as Harry Potter and Seinfeld and join host BOJ (Boring Old James Mullan) from 7 pm to put your knowledge to the test; stop in early and fuel up for the fight ahead with fish tacos, cabbage, onion, sweetcorn salsa and yuzu aioli, or a Wagyu beef burger with cheddar, cos lettuce, beetroot and burger sauce.
