Best Trivia Nights in Nashville: Where to Play in 2026
The best bar trivia nights in Nashville — real venues, real schedules, real reviews from trivia teams.
Nashville's trivia scene punches above its weight. Between Nerdy Talk Trivia, local independent hosts, and the city's natural talent for turning everything into an event, there are competitive quiz nights running six days a week across the metro area. Here are the best spots in 2026.
Monday
The Goat
Starts at 7:00 PM. A Germantown gastropub with creative cocktails and upscale comfort food. The Goat's Monday trivia is a strong start to the week — quieter crowd, competitive field.
Tuesday
TailGate Brewery
Starts at 7:00 PM. A local favorite with a welcoming atmosphere and family-friendly vibe. Great beer, spacious seating, and one of the more consistent Tuesday night quizzes in town.
The Grand Ole Trivia
Starts at 7:30 PM. The name says it all — Nashville takes its trivia as seriously as its music.
Wednesday
Acme Feed & Seed
Starts at 7:00 PM. A multi-story entertainment complex on Lower Broadway. Live music, multiple bars, rooftop views — and a Wednesday trivia night that draws a mix of tourists and locals. High energy, bigger teams.
Thursday
East Nashville Beer Works
Starts at 7:30 PM. A neighborhood brewery in the heart of East Nashville with rotating house brews. The Thursday quiz here attracts a loyal crowd of regulars.
Honky Tonk Brewing
Starts at 8:00 PM. Late start, casual vibe. Good option if you want a more relaxed Thursday night quiz.
Nashville Trivia Tips
Tuesday and Thursday are the strongest nights — multiple venues running simultaneously gives you options. Acme on Wednesday is the most energetic room but also the loudest — arrive early for a table near the speakers.
Nashville's trivia hosts tend to lean into music and pop culture categories (unsurprisingly). If your team is weak on country music history, study up — it comes up more often here than anywhere else in the country.
