This article will review six different pubs and bars that offer trivia nights.

Kipper's Trivia Night at the Whistle Stop Bar- Trivia nights are every first and third Monday and are not for the faint of heart. The cut-throat action starts at 9:30pm, but plan to arrive early to get a choice seat. All participants pay a $2 fee, and cheap drinks are the order of the night. The cash prize of well over $100 to the winner may be enough motivation for you to come and check out the action.

Kipper writes his own questions to keep contestants surprised and on their toes. The basic Trivial Pursuit questions are interspersed with oddball questions such as name that celebrity mustache, or name that cheese. Groups of one to five people make up a team, depending on the size of the crowd. Six rounds of mostly audio and visual themes are played each Monday night. With cheap drinks being consumed in abundance, expect a lot of heckling and insults to be traded between teams before a winner is declared.

If you have a group with you or just want to drink the night away, you can buy a pitcher of the special brew of the evening for just $10.

Trivia is played in four rounds. The 1st round is general knowledge, with a daily double thrown in. The second round moves to music, artist, and title, and can be the most challenging round. In the 3rd round, a partially obstructed face is shown and you have to guess who it is. The 4th round is a repeat of the 1st round, but doesn't last as long.

Many alcohol-fueled smart alecks call out the wrong answers on purpose, getting on the nerves of the serious players. Questions are often repeated more than once.
