Trivia in Long Beach California

16 trivia venues are available in Long Beach, CA

Long Beach has quietly built one of the more interesting trivia scenes in the greater LA orbit. 13 venues, heavily tilted toward craft breweries and neighborhood bars rather than corporate chains. Looking for a game? Wednesday is the night to circle. Seven different spots run trivia that evening, which makes it one of the most competitive midweek slates in Southern California. Geeks Who Drink operates three rooms here. Rance's Chicago Pizza in Belmont Shore goes Tuesday evenings, Roundin' 3rd Sports Bar on East Anaheim does Wednesdays, and Watercraft Market Lounge near Cedar Avenue takes Thursdays. Epic Pub Quiz runs a Monday game at ISM Brewing & Kitchen downtown on East 3rd Street. But the real character of Long Beach trivia lives in its independents. Nine of the city's 13 venues run their own shows. The brewery scene carries a lot of that weight. Long Beach Beer Lab runs trivia at both its Wrigley and Zaferia locations on different nights. Trademark Brewing holds down Wednesdays on East Anaheim, and Hi-Lo Liquor Market does the same from its Ocean Boulevard spot near the waterfront. Alex's Bar, a Bixby Knolls punk institution, hosts a surprisingly popular Wednesday quiz, while Gallagher's Pub & Grill on East Broadway and R Bar downtown keep the Wednesday options flowing. The Bungalow out on Pacific Coast Highway and O'Malley's On Main over in Seal Beach give Thursday its own pair. Long Beach often gets overshadowed by its neighbor to the north, but its trivia scene has carved out a real identity of its own.
