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.
