Pub Quiz Tonight

1:20PM ON 10/05/2008
BY Beth Comery

barroom brawl

“Be Nice or Leave” is the guiding philosophy at the Wild Colonial Tavern (T-shirts available).  On the whole the people that show up for the world-famous Pub Quiz are lovers not fighters (if by ‘lovers’ you mean ‘doughy liberal bed-wetters’).  But there was that one time.  Form a team of one to four people, join in the fun and win cool prizes.  There are several categories like current events, local trivia, movies… stuff like that.  And it always ends with a 12-question music category with audio snippets.  Some people worry that they will have to stand up in front of the room and make an ass of themselves looking stupid, and — like any other place where alcohol is served — you are free to do that.  But that has nothing to do with the quiz format — your  team simply writes its answers down on a piece of paper and hands it in. Great beer on tap.

starts 8pm/250 South Water Street/621.5644
