Trivia in Portland Maine

11 trivia venues are available in Portland, ME

Portland's trivia fits the city perfectly, compact and walkable, anchored by the kind of bars where locals actually know the bartender. With 11 active venues running Sunday through Thursday, and most of the action concentrated on the peninsula between Congress Street and the waterfront, you can hit most of these spots on foot in a single evening if you're ambitious enough. Raise the Bar Trivia is the leading company, running three rooms: Bissell Brothers on Resurgam Place for Wednesday at 6:00, Bramhall up on Congress Street for a Sunday evening game at 7:00, and Pat's Pizza out in Scarborough for Tuesday. Geeks Who Drink has The Thirsty Pig on Exchange Street in the Old Port for Wednesdays, Best Worst Trivia runs Arcadia on Congress Street on Thursdays, and Jeopardy Bar League, a more structured format, operates out of minibar on Marginal Way on Tuesdays. Wednesday is the busiest night with four options: Bissell Brothers, The Thirsty Pig, Gritty McDuff's Brew Pub on Fore Street, and The End of Portland Maine on Congress. Thursday brings three more, Arcadia, Brickyard Hollow Brewing Company right on Commercial Street at the waterfront, and Munjoy Hill Tavern on the east end of Congress starting at 7:30. Tuesday rounds out with Rí Rá Irish Pub on Commercial Street, minibar, and Pat's Pizza. The Congress Street corridor alone accounts for five venues, making it the de facto trivia spine of the city. For a town this small, the variety of hosts and formats, from classic pub quiz to league-style play, is remarkably strong.
