56 trivia venues are available in San Francisco, CA

San Francisco's trivia is sprawling and heavily independent, which is exactly what you'd expect from a city that resists centralized anything. Fifty-five active venues stretch from North Beach to the Outer Sunset, with a sizable cluster across the bay in Alameda, Emeryville, and the Peninsula communities. Most of them are bars doing their own thing without a host company's name attached. Three companies share the organized side in roughly equal measure. Geeks Who Drink runs five venues with a heavy presence in SoMa and Dogpatch: Woodbury on 3rd Street, The Sea Star also on 3rd, and Tipsy Putt over in Emeryville. Bear Vs. Bull on Mission Street hosts Monday nights, and Silver Cloud on Lombard does Wednesdays. Sunset Trivia matches that with five venues of its own, though their footprint tilts south. Ballast Point Brewing sits in Mission Bay, Bel Mateo Bowl in San Mateo, and Molloy's Tavern near South San Francisco. Brainstormer Trivia holds three spots including Casements Bar on Mission Street, Public Market Emeryville, and Monaghan's Bar in the Marina. King Trivia's lone outpost is SPARK Social SF in Mission Bay. But the real character lives in the independents, which account for 41 of the 55 venues. The Haight is a particular stronghold. O'Reilly's Pub, Danny Coyle's, Nickie's, and the legendary Mad Dog in the Fog (Thursday and Sunday nights, 8:30 PM starts) all run their own quizzes within blocks of each other. The Inner Sunset and Richmond keep the tradition going at places like The Riptide on Taraval, Durty Nelly's on Irving, and The Abbey Tavern on Geary. North Beach has Chief Sullivan's on Thursdays and Belle Cora on Mondays. Over in the Mission, Barebottle Brewing, Pop's Bar, Shotwell's Saloon, and The Napper Tandy give the neighborhood four separate options spread across different nights. Wednesday is the biggest night by far, with over 20 venues running. Tuesday is a strong second. The whole thing skews weeknight-heavy, and weekend options are virtually nonexistent within city limits, though The Swingin' Door in San Mateo runs a rare Sunday session.
