Trivia in Berkeley California

12 trivia venues are available in Berkeley, CA

Berkeley's trivia is classic East Bay: brewery-heavy, fiercely competitive, and fueled by crowds where someone at every table has a PhD in something obscure. Ten active venues run across three nights, and Tuesday absolutely dominates at six simultaneous games. For a city of 125,000, that's a remarkable density. Geeks Who Drink runs three rooms, all near the UC Berkeley campus corridor. Heads and Tails Barbecue on San Pablo Avenue and Gilman Brewing Company up on Gilman Street both go Tuesday at 7:00, while Triple Rock Brewing on Shattuck Avenue holds down Wednesday at 8:00. King Trivia has two spots: Acme Bar & Company on San Pablo for Tuesday at 7:00 and Kip's Bar and Grill on Durant Avenue, which starts the latest in town at 9:00 PM, squarely aimed at the post-lecture crowd. Tuesday's six-venue slate is the real story. Beyond the company-run rooms, Great Notion Brewing on Fourth Street starts at 6:30 and Headlands Brewing up on Gilman goes earliest at 5:30, a happy-hour trivia option that's unusual anywhere. Wednesday adds Bobby G's Pizzeria on University Avenue alongside Triple Rock. Thursday brings The Starry Plough Pub on South Shattuck, a Berkeley institution with deep Irish-pub roots, starting at 6:30, and The BreakRoom on Shattuck at 7:00. The Shattuck-San Pablo corridor is where most of the action lives, which keeps the whole thing walkable from BART if you know where you're going.
