I hated taking tests in school. Confined to a room for an hour; answering questions I didn’t ask; competing with my peers. Where’s the fun in that?
Inexplicably, if the questions are being asked by a half-drunk person with a microphone and there’s zero real stakes involved, I love taking tests! Except this time we call it trivia.
If you’re interested in answering some questions without reliving your childhood, here are the neighborhood spots for it. All locations are free entry.
What can I go to have a drink?
Answer: Over Under, Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Located inside residential living community The Village, Over Under is a classic sports bar that hosts weekly trivia nights for both residents and anyone who’d like to join. The menu features standard American fare with a large selection of beer.
