Trivia in Milwaukee Wisconsin

10 trivia venues are available in Milwaukee, WI

Milwaukee takes its bar culture as seriously as its brewing heritage, so it's no surprise the trivia scene here runs deep. 53 active venues spanning the city proper, Wauwatosa, Shorewood, Bay View, Waukesha, and the surrounding suburbs. What sets Milwaukee apart is the sheer number of host companies working the market. No single outfit runs the place, which means the style and format of your quiz night can shift dramatically from one venue to the next. Quizmaster Trivia has the largest footprint with 10 venues, and they've made themselves the default quiz provider for the Camp Bar chain. Camp Bar Shorewood, Camp Bar Tosa, and Camp Bar Third Ward all run Monday nights at 8 PM. Brady Street's Jack's American Pub and Bay View's Crafty Cow give them strong Tuesday presence, while Red Lion British Pub on Water Street, O'Lydia's in Walker's Point, and On Tap fill out the midweek schedule. America's Pub Quiz holds four venues including multiple Explorium Brewpub locations. Their Third Ward and Greendale taprooms both run trivia nights, plus Jackson's Blue Ribbon in Wauwatosa. Trivia Mafia books two spots: Lion's Tail Brewing Co. in Wauwatosa on Wednesdays and Indeed Brewing in Walker's Point on Thursdays. Challenge Entertainment has Lakefront Brewery, one of the city's most iconic taprooms, on Wednesday evenings, plus Let It Be in Waukesha. Geeks Who Drink, Pub Trivia USA, and Trivia with Olivia each hold single venues at Puddler's Hall in Bay View, MobCraft Beer in Walker's Point, and Blackbird Bar in Bay View respectively. The independent venues make up about 32 of the total and bring some of the most interesting settings. Third Ward's 3rd St. Market Hall runs a Wednesday quiz in the food hall, while Von Trier on Farwell Avenue, one of Milwaukee's most atmospheric German-style bars, hosts Thursdays. Shorewood's Oakland Avenue strip is a three-deep trivia corridor: Foxhole Craft Beer Shop, Milwaukee Brat House, and Three Lions Pub all run different nights within a block of each other. Bay View has its own cluster around Kinnickinnic Avenue, including 17th Ward and Sugar Maple. Tuesday and Wednesday are the busiest nights, each with well over a dozen options, though Monday is surprisingly strong thanks to Quizmaster's Camp Bar circuit and several independents across the north side.
