Trivia in Anchorage Alaska

5 trivia venues are available in Anchorage, AK

Anchorage might be the last place you'd expect a thriving pub trivia culture, but the long winters and a tight-knit bar scene have turned quiz night into something of a communal ritual. There are 13 active venues across downtown, Spenard, Midtown, and the Old Seward corridor, and a game runs nearly every night of the week. Tuesdays are the undisputed main event, with six different spots firing up questions at once. Geeks Who Drink has the strongest footprint here, running five of those 13 venues. Their lineup stretches from the downtown staple Williwaw Social on Wednesdays to Bear Tooth Theatrepub on Tuesdays, with 49th State Brewing taking Monday nights on West 3rd Avenue. They've also got Chilkoot Charlie's, the legendary Spenard Road dive, locked down for Thursdays, and Dave & Buster's on Dimond for a Tuesday option on the south side. Nerdvana Trivia holds Bear Paw Bar & Grill on Tudor Road each Tuesday, while Elite Trivia of Wisconsin runs one of the city's most storied rooms at Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse, also Tuesday. The independent scene fills in the gaps nicely. The Broken Blender and Blarney Stone Pub keep downtown competitive on Wednesdays. Eddie's Sports Bar holds it down on Old Seward Highway the same night. El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant gives Monday a second option out on Muldoon Road. 907 Alehouse and Grill and The Blue Fox add to Tuesday's crowded slate along the south end of town. For a city this far north, Anchorage does a lot with what it's got.
