January Pub Quiz
You are invited to attend the monthly trivia night at The Prenup Pub on Tuesday, January 28. Please register before Sunday, January 26 at midnight.
The Prenup Pub is one of the best pubs in the city. It’s a Belgian style pub with a wonderful atmosphere, great food, and extraordinary draft beer, all at reasonable prices. In fact, the atmosphere is actually free! The draft beer list consists of 70 quality brews, of which most are European. There is also a sizeable wine list. The food menu is also extensive and also mostly European, with French, Belgian, Italian and German specialties. There are also quite a few vegetarian and vegan dishes.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
- 6:30: Arrival and order food and/or drinks
- 7:00: Choose teams, team names and quiz categories.
- 7:15: Questions are written for each round.
- 7:30: The quiz begins.
- 8:15: Break time
- 8:30: The second half begins.
- 9:15: End of quiz. Scores are calculated, winners are announced and prizes awarded.
This will be an unusual pub quiz in that the participants will choose the categories before the quiz begins. Virtually any category is possible, including history, geography, 80s music, Soviet fashion, marine biology, supramolecular chemistry, and even cycling. The teams or four or five will brainstorm possible categories, and we all vote to determine the five most popular topics. Then, since each team will be responsible for one round of questions, they will work together to compose 8-10 questions in their assigned category. Phones are permitted only during this phase and during the break.
The Prenup Pub is conveniently located at 191 College Street, just a five-minute walk west of Queen’s Park subway station. There also is street parking available, especially on McCaul Street. We will be on ground floor of the pub, on your right as you walk in (next to the bar). View the map here.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
