20 trivia venues are available in Ottawa, ON, CA
Ottawa is a Tuesday night trivia town, and it's not close. Of the capital's 20 active venues, ten run on Tuesdays. That's a concentration so heavy the rest of the week feels almost barren next to it. If you live in Ottawa and want options, you pick your Tuesday spot and commit. The scene is dominated by independents. ruby PUB TRIVIA is the only hosted company with a real footprint, running three suburban locations: Kelseys on Bank Street, Kelseys out in Nepean, and St. Louis Bar & Grill in Kanata. Everyone else is a standalone pub doing their own thing, which gives the city's quiz culture a neighborhood-pub intimacy that feels very Ottawa. The Royal Oak chain deserves a mention of its own. Three of their locations run trivia on different nights in different corners of the city. The Bank at Gloucester location hosts Tuesdays, Centrepointe runs Tuesdays at 8 PM, and the Kanata location is one of the few venues brave enough to try Saturday nights. The Wellington Street location holds down Sundays. Along Bank Street, the corridor between the Glebe and Centretown is the densest trivia zone: Glebe Central Pub, Irene's Pub, and The Royal Oak all run Tuesdays within a short walk of each other. The ByWard Market offers Monday nights at Aulde Dubliner, and Level One Game Pub on Waller Street pairs board games with a Monday quiz. The Lieutenant's Pump on Elgin and The Gilmour on Bank both add to Monday's five-venue roster. Wednesday is surprisingly thin with just three options. Thursday through Friday are essentially dark, a scheduling gap that some enterprising trivia host will eventually fill.

Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated, but celebrated!
Each week, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme. You can check out upcoming themes below. And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy. The exception to this is the last Monday of every month, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for November 24: Bob's Burgers!!
Drop in or reserve your spot beforehand! If you decide to make a reservation, be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section, along with your team name, if you have one.
6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Cost: free with purchase, $9 without purchase (per person)
