Pub Quiz

With all the eating we've been doing and will continue to do this season, exercise is a good idea. But what about exercising our brains? If you feel like you need to wake your mind up after all that monotonous shopping while listening to "Jingle Bell Rock" for the hundredth time, then head down to Last Exit Bar tonight for their trivia night. With 50 questions, this one is like boot camp for your brain. Plus they have some quirky categories. According to Brooklyn Exposed, you may get categories like " “Last Exit Theater” (hosts perform scenes from movies) “Canadian or Not Canadian?” (decide if celebs like Michael Cera hail from our friend to the north), & Bodega Price is Right (does toilet paper really cost that much?)". Sounds fun right? Well, if you want to go but can't go tonight then you have every 1st and 3rd Monday to make it over there. Last Exit is located at 136 Atlantic and trivia starts at 9pm. $5 bucks to play.

Neighborhood Trivia Nights

If your idea of a good night is having a drink or two or a few while answering trivia questions, we have you covered, for 3 out of 7 nights anyways. Here are just a few bars/restaurants in the neighborhood that have trivia nights. Some are fairly new and some have been around for a while. All are fun and give you chance to bone up on your general knowledge and maybe win some prizes while you're at it!

Building on Bond (pictured above) in Boerum Hill at 112 Bond St. has a Thursday night trivia at 8:30pm. Quiz mistress, Maeve Adams, is an English teacher so although the questions are mostly general knowledge they do lean towards the academic and literary.

Ceol in Cobble Hill at 191 Smith Street has a Tuesday night pub quiz at 8:30. There's no cover charge and, although they say "win prizes" on their website, they don't specify what those might be.

Bar Great Harry in Carroll Gardens at 280 Smith Street not only has a great beer list but also has a very popular quiz night on Monday nights at 8pm. Check their website (http://www.bargreatharry.com/) because sometimes they have special nights. Sept 6th they had a Brooklyn Brew Trivia where the winner left with a home brew kit.

Rocky Sullivan's in Red Hook at 34 Van Dyke Street also has Thursday night trivia at 8pm. The grand prize is a round of drinks for you and your teammates and the question rounds are mainly general knowledge with the exception of a photo and music round.

So study up and go win some booty!
