Trivia in Brooklyn New York

10 trivia venues are available in Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn's trivia scene is massive, hyper-local, and mostly DIY. 74 active venues across the borough, with the overwhelming majority running their own independent nights rather than booking through a company. That tracks for a place where every neighborhood bar has its own personality and its own regulars. NYC Trivia League is the biggest organized presence, hosting at 10 venues including Brooklyn Brewery in Williamsburg, both TALEA Beer Co. locations, Black Forest Brooklyn on Smith Street and in Fort Greene, Keg & Lantern in Greenpoint, and Farm.One in Prospect Heights. Geeks Who Drink runs three spots, Father Knows Best in East New York and The Crown Inn on Franklin Ave. Immodest Trivia hosts at Kilo Bravo and Echo Bravo, both in Williamsburg-Bushwick. TriviaNYC covers Birdie's Sporting Club and The Beer Garage in Park Slope. But the real story is the 54 independent venues. Park Slope alone could keep you busy for a month: Paddy's, Halyards, Park Slope Ale House, Rullo's, Black Horse Pub, Mathilde, and Sandy Jack's all run weekly. Williamsburg and Greenpoint have their own gravity, with Pete's Candy Store, The Charleston, Alligator Lounge, Reclamation Bar, Banter Bar, Black Rabbit, and McCarren Parkhouse. Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy contribute Franklin Park, Covenhoven, The Swan, Fulton Ale House, and FRANKLIN820. Even the quieter corners aren't quiet. Court Street in Carroll Gardens has both Minibar and Abilene Bar, Bushwick has Heavy Woods and Post No Bills, and over in Ridgewood there's Bonus Room. Tuesday and Wednesday dominate the calendar, but Monday is surprisingly strong. At least a dozen venues run Monday night games, including several in Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, and Fort Greene that draw serious crowds.
