Portland Trivia Night
Portland Trivia Night Guide. Woo
hoo, it's pub quiz night! Portland features two qualities that make it
perfect for trivia night: 1) we have long, dark, wet winters, and 2)
Portland is one of the best microbrew capitals of the world. What
could be more fun than spending a rainy night at your favorite local
Portland bar trivia night while tossing back a cold one and laughing
with your friends? Of course it's true that alcohol and
sharp brain power don't mix, so non-drinkers are welcome, too. In
fact, they may be the only people on your team who actually do well
answering the questions!
Because it's within easy walking distance for me, I personally
enjoy Billy Ray's Dive bar in NE Portland on Quizzy night with Roy
Smallwood--it's a hilarious, fun, and relaxing way to spend a couple
hours, plus you get to test your brain and memory, and win some cool
Portland trivia prizes. We took the prize at Quizzy one night for
a $20 bar tab prize--of course it was a night when the local "Jeopardy"
nerds didn't show up to play, but oh well-- I'll take my wins where I
can get 'em.
Get a group of friends together, come up with a funny
name for your team, and see how well you do answering the trivia
questions. It's actually quite difficult to come up with answers
for everything because the
questions are totally random and range in topics all over the
map. So, if you don't know much about American history, sports,
or politics, that's ok...because perhaps you'll find you do have a deep
knowledge about 1980s hair bands, and that might be one of the topics
of the night. Honestly, I am really horrible at trivia
games, but I still have a great time. The Pub Quiz
nights all seem to have a little different style and flair, depending
on who is hosting them. Some are easier, some are more difficult,
but all are share one thing in common: they are great Portland fun!
If you're looking for the local trivia nights, we've got your
list of Portland Pub Quizzes listed below. If we missed any, or
date/locations/times have changed, please contact us to let us know so
we can get it added or updated here on the Portland trivia page.
Or, if you host a Portland Trivia Night, you can just add it to the Portland
Events Calendar yourself, or post it to our
Portland Trivia Night group and get the word out quick.
Because these schedules are subject to change frequently, before
heading out it's a good idea to check with the bar to make sure the
trivia night hasn't been moved or cancelled.
Portland Trivia Night Hosts and Locations
Quizzy
Quizzy Host - Roy Smallwood
About Roy's Quizzy: "Since I started Quizzy in
November of 2004, I’ve witnessed two other bar trivia events, and
been told by Quizzy players of many more. The primary (but by no means
only) complaint about some of these other “pub quizzes” is
what I have come to call the Kylie Minogue Factor. Apparently,
there is this deformed Australian named Kylie Minogue who recorded some
awful, awful music some time back in the current century. One time, my
team lost a Quizzo in Philly because of something to do with her. Thus,
when I moved back here to Portland, I pledged not to reward anyone for
knowing about the total soul-vacuum that passes for modern American
mass culture. Thus, you will never have to know anything about
American Idol, or CSI, or Coldplay, or Twilight (I’ll update
these examples as newer, still-dumber ones replace them)."
(Source:QuizzyPortland.com)
I can personally attest to the fact that Roy's Quizzy
questions are NOT for the mindless, vapid, or feint of heart (I do like
CSI, though). But, that makes it more fun.
