The Best Quiz and Trivia Nights in Montreal

Montreal loves a good pub quiz, preferably with cold beer, questionable team names and at least one person taking the whole thing far too seriously.

Across the city, bars host everything from classic general knowledge showdowns to music, movies, TV and gloriously niche themed nights. Some are fiercely competitive, others barely more serious than the nachos.

Schedules and themes change often, so check each venue's socials before heading out. Then assemble your smartest friends, pick an unnecessarily confident team name and prepare to discover exactly how little you remember from high school geography.
