The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the busiest bar night of the year. Many use it as a night to go out and meet hometown friends, or for those not spending the following holiday with their family, a night to enjoy themselves with their new friends. And those with local family still use it as a time to have some non-family time while hitting up their favorite watering spot.
And while many will take advantage of Thanksgiving Eve by grabbing a beverage and socializing, there are also many who are looking for where they can catch up with friends while partaking in America’s best trivia event game.
Whaddayaknow? has you covered.
While some venues will not be hosting bar trivia events, due to the expected crowds, Whaddayaknow?’s unique trivia event will be run at the following venues on November, 26!
