There’s no better thing than trivia during the holiday season! However, some of our venues will be closed for various holidays. As always, check our website for open locations, and our Facebook page where we post an up-to-date list of all events daily. Most locations will not be running trivia/music bingo on New Year’s Eve and New Years Day, but we have a few great venues where trivia will be ON for 12/31 and 1/1 – and it’s the perfect way to kick off your night, with plenty of time to continue your festivities and ring in the New Year!

The theme will be 2024 Year In Review, covering all our regular categories – with plenty of prizes to be given away! More venues could be added in the coming week, so check back in!
