Trivia in Memphis Tennessee

3 trivia venues are available in Memphis, TN

Memphis trivia has a character all its own, scrappier and more neighborhood-rooted than what you'd find in Nashville, with 33 active venues and no single company running the market. Cerrito Entertainment is the largest organized host with five venues, running games at places like Celtic Crossing Irish Pub on Cooper Street, Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint in Midtown, and Hampline Brewing in the Crosstown area. Challenge Entertainment controls the Huey's franchise pipeline. Huey's Midtown, Huey's Cordova, and Huey's Millington all run Challenge-hosted Tuesday or Monday nights, which means three of the city's most recognizable restaurant locations feed into one trivia company. Geeks Who Drink has two rooms, both at Ghost River properties: the Beale Street location and the South Main taproom, both on Wednesdays. Diamond in the Bluff runs a Wednesday night at WISEACRE Brewing Company's headquarters on B.B. King Boulevard, pairing one of the city's best-known craft breweries with a local trivia outfit. But the real story is the independent scene. 22 venues run their own shows, and that list includes some of the most distinctive rooms in town. The Cove on Broad Avenue, Young Avenue Deli in Cooper-Young, The Green Beetle on South Main, and Louis Connelly's on South Cleveland all host without a company name attached. Thursday is the biggest night, with about eight venues running games from Crosstown Brewing Company to Slider Inn downtown. Tuesday pulls seven to eight options across the metro, including East End Grill locations in both east Memphis and Bartlett. The scene reaches into Cordova through Leonard's Pit Barbecue and Waldo's Chicken & Beer, and MFS Brewing offers a Sunday afternoon option for anyone looking to start their week early. Wednesday and Thursday carry the bulk of the action, but there's enough spread across the calendar that you won't go a night without options.
