Quiz-lover's Guide

Are you a quiz lover? If yes, this is the post for you! We have gathered information on pubs and bars in the city centre organising a weekly quiz, including price to take part, jackpot price (if any), day of the week and area.

Monday is the favourite day for quiz. The earliest quiz starts at 7.30pm in The Beer Emporium, where you can win the biggest jackpot of the day (£50). Traditional Gloucester Road pubs such as The Flyer and The Wellington also organise weekly quizzes at 8pm and 8.30pm respectively. Close in Cotham, quiz at The Hill starts at 8.30pm with a £25 jackpot. Quizzes around Clifton start at 8.30pm in the Alma Tavern and at 8.45pm in The Eldon House, both with £50 jackpots. Both the Barley Mow (Bedminster) and the Grain Barge (Hotwells) start their quizzes at 8pm with £16 and £20 jackpots respectively, Stag and Hounds starts at 9pm.

On Tuesdays, best is to go to the Old Town area. The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, with the incredible jackpot of £100, arrange a weekly quiz at 7.30pm while the one at Mothers Ruin in St Nicholas Market starts at 9pm. In the last one, apart from having the chance to win a £100 jackpot, they serve free food. We have been there and we had loads of fun! Read here. The Bank Tavern, also in the city centre, has a quiz that starts at 8.30pm which unfortunately has no jackpot.

Park Street is also a good area to go for a quiz on Tuesdays as Bristol Ram, starting at 7.30pm, has a £100 jackpot, and The White Harte, very popular among students, starts at 8.00pm with a £40 jackpot. Finally, The Brass Pig at the triangle starts at 8pm with a £45 jackpot.

If you have missed the Mothers Ruin quiz on Tuesday, you have another chance closeby on Wednesdays as Seamus O’Donnell hosts a quiz starting 9pm (£60 jackpot). Two quizzes are organised in Clifton this day: one at the Coach and Horses and the second in The Vittoria (both at 8.30pm). In Easton, the quiz at Chelsea Inn could be your option at 8pm, where it is free to participate but there is no jackpot to win either.

On Thursdays, the Three Sugar Loaves hosts a quiz on Christmas Steps starting at 9pm. It is the most expensive quiz of all, though (£2) and there isn’t a jackpot either. If you live in St Pauls, Surrey Vaults has a quiz at 7pm with a £40 jackpot, and in Cotham, the quiz starts at 7.30pm in Cotham Porter Stores (£50 jackpot). The other option is to go to The Ship Inn in Gloucester Road to try to win a £50 jackpot at 8.30pm.

There is no quiz on Friday or Saturday.

And the only quiz we know of that happens on Sundays happens at 8.30pm in The Cambridge Arms with a £50 jackpot.

It’s £1 to participate in all of them except for the few exceptions mentioned. There is a very useful map on this website (click here) which show the pubs with quizzes on a map, filtered by days. Have a look and… let me know if you win a jackpot!! :)
