About this data
All statistics come from the TriviaNearMe database, which tracks live, in-person bar trivia events across the United States and beyond. An "active venue" is a bar or restaurant with at least one confirmed trivia night on the weekly schedule. Data is refreshed weekly.
Venue counts may not capture every trivia night in a given area — they reflect what's in our database as of the most recent update.
