Minneapolis non-pub quiz?

April 8, 2017 6:28 AM

I enjoy trivia, but not drinking. Is there anywhere in the Twin Cities (preferably in south Minneapolis) that has a trivia competition and isn't a place of booze?

Of course, I can go to pub quizzes and just not drink (and have done so), but I'd prefer to go somewhere where drinking isn't the whole place's raison d'être. Is there anything like that out there?

I know they do one at the Pizza Luce on Selby in St. Paul. I've been a couple times and it's fun. We've done trivia at the Nook (also St. Paul), which is held in the basement bowling alley. No bar feel at all. Another St. Paul one is at Nina's Cafe. Great atmosphere.

You might peruse the Trivia Mafia schedule. I'm not super familiar with Minneapolis, but they have events all over the cities.

I'll plug our IRL meetups as well. A few of us get together roughly once a month and play Trivia. Pretty low key and we'd love to have you if you're interested!

It looks like Trivia Mafia meets at Nighthawks diner on Monday nights and the South Minneapolis Carbone's on Thursdays, if either of those are near you.

+1 to everything holmesian said above! We have mostly been trivia-ing on the St. Paul side but could certainly branch out across the river.
