Weekly trivia nights at breweries, pubs, and sports bars across St Pete and Tampa — with what night they run, what prizes are on offer, and what makes each one worth going to.
Trivia nights are one of the best things to do in Tampa Bay if you want a fun group activity that does not require a reservation, a dress code, or a big budget. The Tampa Bay area has a genuinely strong trivia scene — particularly in St Pete, where several highly-rated breweries and pubs host weekly events with real prizes and a loyal following.
3 Daughters Brewing in Midtown St Pete is one of the best trivia venues in the city — a large, family-friendly brewery with a lively atmosphere, excellent craft beers, and a spacious indoor and outdoor area. Trivia runs every Monday at 7 PM with prizes in the form of 3 Daughters gift cards. It holds a 4.7 on Google and a 4.4 on Yelp. The Dog Bar in the Grand Central District is a unique option — a dog park and sports bar where you can enjoy trivia with your canine companions, running every Monday at 7 PM hosted by the Florida Trivia League, holding a 4.4 on both Google and Yelp. Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill in downtown St Pete runs trivia on both Mondays and Thursdays at 7 PM with prizes of $10 to $30 in Ferg's Bucks.
Pinellas Ale Works (PAW Beer) in the Grand Central District runs trivia every Wednesday at 7 PM with prizes in PAW Bucks. It holds a 4.8 on Google and a 4.5 on Yelp — one of the highest-rated breweries in St Pete. The dog-friendly atmosphere and wide selection of craft beers make it a great spot for a casual weeknight trivia outing. Crowley's Downtown Pub in downtown St Pete runs trivia every Tuesday at 8 PM with prizes of up to $40 in Crowley's Cash. In Tampa, Irish 31 in Hyde Park runs pop culture trivia every Tuesday at 7:30 PM, and The Brass Tap in Carrollwood runs two different trivia nights — Game Show Loco on Tuesdays and General Knowledge Trivia on Thursdays.
The Tap Room at The Hollander Hotel in downtown St Pete runs trivia every Sunday at 6 PM, hosted by MC Mike, with prizes of $50, $25, and $15 in Hollander Dollars. It holds a 4.7 on TripAdvisor and is one of the most stylish trivia venues in the city — a taproom within a boutique hotel, offering a sophisticated but fun experience. Sunday trivia is particularly good for vacation groups — it is a low-key way to end a weekend trip, and the earlier start time means you can still have dinner afterward.
Most trivia nights in Tampa Bay are free to enter and run for 2 to 3 hours. Teams are typically limited to 6 to 8 players, so large groups may need to split into multiple teams. Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to get a good table — popular trivia nights at 3 Daughters and PAW Beer fill up fast. Prizes are usually in the form of bar credit or gift cards, not cash.
