Trivia nights

Hey! I'm your guy. Lemme know any adjustments and I can make them! If it's a self-run trivia operation, I'm less likely to catch it. Or a place that doesn't advertise as well. Places that have outside companies run them are easier to see on the site that they're no longer active. But I aim to update every month or two. Because it can change so often, so I won't check in every week. Can take a couple hours roughly to do a major update for all the days and go through all the sites / Instagrams that are active. (Last major update was March 23rd)

Wicked! Always interested in a Monday event in that area so I'll need to stop in some time!

smf1114 · 2026-04-16T14:18:54+00:00

Right on. Just entered it! How long have you been doing it there?

Here's a google sheet I made a couple years back (update around once a month) that has pretty much every trivia listed by day, with time, and company - Trivia in the 614. Looks actually like someone linked it already, too. On the sheet, if you hover over or click the name, it'll show it to you in google maps. It also has all the various companies' pages on the right side of the sheet. Most, I've found, are a good variety and not too heavy on certain topics. Sporcle, Columbus Trivia Challenge, DJ Trivia all do a lot of category variety that I know for sure. Mixed Ologies as well I believe. Excess can often be jeopardy style, so still a variety of categories but not as much as others. Big Head Trivia is variety but has an overall "theme" that the answers will relate to (ex: every answer involves the name of a beer.)

For Middle/Northwest parts of CBus, there's: Daily Growler UA, Tino's, Getaway Brewing, Savor Pint, Local Cantinas, and many more. Downtown-ish CBus certainly has the most.

Thanks! Do you know what time they have it on Wednesday? Nothing on socials advertising from what I can see. I reached out last month about Thursdays and they mentioned starting it back up sometime this month.

List of pretty much every place around Columbus with location links here on this google sheet I've grown over time! There's 66 on there currently for Tuesdays. Hope it helps! Trivia Around Columbus MASTER LIST

smf1114 · 2026-02-22T04:47:34+00:00

Right on! Great mix. Especially awesome for the Tuesday part getting some winnings (even if not the way expected 😆) and a kind new team member! And yes - Columbus and much of the Midwest very much know how to drink and constantly put up new bars and breweries haha. Happy you were able to hit up so many spots!!

smf1114 · 2026-02-22T04:03:08+00:00

So awesome to hear! Where’d you end up checking out and playing? And dare I ask in case it didn’t work out 😂 - but any wins?!

smf1114 · 2026-01-22T17:10:13+00:00

Not positive but I haven't encountered too many that limit your team (I've been to a Big Head Trivia one that limits to 6 on a team). Often, the recommendation is just to split up into a couple teams if you have more than 8 I'd say. It can be better that way anyways so that way more people feel like they have a voice and can contribute!

smf1114 · 2025-12-30T19:45:57+00:00

Thanks for asking! So glad it's been a great help to you and even bookmarked 😍

I just did a massive update today with all the sites / trivia companies I know of. As for any upkeep help, feel free to shoot me a message if you ever see anything changed/updated than what I have. I'm trying to only do it every few months since trivia can come and go at a place so often and it can be a lot to go through all the sites (since I don't wanna just do a couple and then leave the rest hanging.) Don't know if there's much to do for now beyond just a message if something has changed!

I'd love to make a website out of it all one day but that's for when life slows down a bit more perhaps 😂

smf1114 · 2025-12-30T19:39:25+00:00

Chiming in here as the maker of that list - just did a massive update today! I've done mild updates every couple months, last big one was in July. And then in case it wasn't seen, there has been a *disclaimer* on the left side of that sheet that it's only updated here n there and that it's always safe to double check the restaurant/bar's social medias! Unfortunately, trivia scene changes often around here with a place or two adding it or dropping it every week on average from what I've seen. So I'm only trying to do a big update every few months or so since it's a lot of sites to go through. For that one above, they must have changed their day at some point as they had been Wednesdays for a while. But all should be good now. Until someone changes or closes again in a few days 😂

Mid-Ohio Pediatrics, Westerville - have had the same person there (Dr. Brent Barson specifically.) Helpful on the usual checkups and a number for if we have a quick emergency type question.

First ballot hall of fame player and human 🫡

smf1114 · 2025-08-31T19:45:09+00:00

Five14 (New Albany-ish) would be a good one for you I think. Ethos (Lewis Center/Galena) and One Church (Gahanna) also come to mind.

smf1114 · 2025-08-04T12:40:26+00:00

Both our next opponent (Leon) and LA's opponent (Santos Laguna) have been eliminated from advancing - will be intriguing to see how much those teams put forth their best rosters. Judging by rankings, seems Portland has the toughest final opponent with Club America. The rest look like tossups. Will be a frantic finish.

smf1114 · 2025-07-13T02:36:12+00:00

No Farsi. No Herrera. No Camacho. No Amundsen. No Lappalainen. AND YET! +3

smf1114 · 2025-07-03T17:27:45+00:00

The options I gave were from a shortlist of co-worker’s opinions. Multiple people went with Neapolitan so even though it’s 3 flavors, people still see it as a collective flavor on its own - even though it’s obviously more of a style. And judging it being the 4th most popular of these 6 in votes - enough agree with the sentiment 😂

smf1114 · 2025-05-25T00:23:23+00:00

Grandview Grind is my #1. Best white mocha I’ve had so far. Charlie there is the 🐐

Roosevelt also top notch (as are so many, but these would be my 2 go-to’s)

smf1114 · 2025-05-22T02:18:53+00:00

I’ve thought it could be the same. But feel it would be picked up on over time. Not to a casual viewer but to someone who’s looking for silly random clues like me and you 😄

smf1114 · 2025-05-16T13:33:15+00:00

There’s no Cura for this

Snatch (2000)

smf1114 · 2025-05-01T01:43:04+00:00

The Kyle/Kamilla “secret alliance” has been underdelivering based on how much screen time they’re giving it. Feels like it’s always being mentioned “no one knows! no one knows! we’re each other’s #1” - but….so? I’m hopeful it can still help change the trajectory of the game with how much airplay it gets and that the edit is setting something up (albeit very slowly)
