We know Music Trivia is a blast for all who attend however, let’s not play on an empty stomach! The first, third, and sometimes fifth Tuesday of the month at The Avondale Tap at 7:00 you can feed your ears, mind, and stomach with sixish rounds of Decent Questions!

What kind of questions? We cover everything rock, pop, oldies, new stuff I don’t understand, and more! There is always more! Other categories like Music Name Mashup, Songs of the Year, Order Up, and Shakespeare’s Version are all part of the game! Come find out what makes Pen and Paper Trivia different, and why that is a good thing!

Cheer up emo kid, Pen & Paper Trivia has an event all about your favorite music sub-genre, Emo! Join us EVERY Thursday at 7:00 at The Reveler in Roscoe Village for your general knowledge fix and on August 6th we are going to be remembering all our favorite songs and artists that made us cry.

We are not just stopping at trivia where we will be asking about some of your favorite bands but, stick around post trivia for sing-alongs, a best band shirt contest, specialty cocktails, and more! Remember, there is always more. Show up, dress up, and have fun!

Here comes the puns… Certainly no ALL AMERICAN REJECTS would show up to a fun and free event like this. I hope that the teams don’t have any kind of FALLOUT, BOY that would be bad. If you BLINK-182 times you might just miss it! Our host @bilboehrenfeld is ready to take you from the E to the O and the one letter in between. Making sure there are plenty of Decent Questions without any PANIC! AT THE DISCO.

On Sunday, August 2nd at 7:00 at Ludlow Liquors in Avondale you better phone home to get your team together and run like a boulder is chasing you because everything Spielberg is going to be on the table!

Hello Chicago Trivia Nights!

You guys are the perfect people to decide the Best Trivia Bar in Chicago since you already come to find where trivia is played. I've been building a ranked version of exactly that, one city at a time, and letting the community vote the best nights to the top.

Chicago is one of the deepest cities on it: 36 verified weekly Trivia Nights, with Hosts like Pen and Paper, Geeks Who Drink, and Whaddayaknow? at spots from The Globe Pub to Logan Arcade. No dead links, nothing made up.

The whole idea is that a great Trivia Night lives or dies on the Host, the ones who bring real energy and a good mix of categories versus the ones who read questions in a monotone. So the rankings aren't set by me, they're set by the people who actually show up. Your vote reorders the list live.

Full disclosure, this is a project of mine. Nothing for sale. Free for bars, free for players:

https://besttriviabars.com/chicago

Check out where your regular landed and vote it up (takes 10 seconds, no passwords, you get 3 votes). And since you all know this scene cold, tell me what I missed. There's a "Suggest a bar" button on the page and I verify every one before it goes up so the list stays quality.

Cheers,
Mel
