Welcome back, trivia people.

This week is less about single standout nights and more about scale. Dave & Buster’s is running the exact same 90s trivia night at fourteen locations in eleven states on one Tuesday. Columbus, Ohio has one host running six different music trivia nights across six different bars. Connecticut’s Best Trivia Ever is juggling Bravo, Spider-Man, and WWE SummerSlam on three separate nights. And Slattery’s Midtown Pub, because apparently this is just what they do now, is back with a third fandom triple-header in three weeks.

Here’s everything worth putting on your calendar between July 27th and August 2nd.

Featured Themed Trivia Nights This Week

Slattery’s Midtown Pub Does It Again — New York, NY

Three weeks, three fandom gauntlets. Slattery’s Midtown Pub is back for round three: Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Monday, Disney Parks on Tuesday, and Anime on Saturday. At this point it’s less a trivia bar and more a nerd-culture residency program.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Trivia — Monday, July 27 — 7:00 PM

Sunnydale, slayers, and questionable late-90s fashion choices.

Disney Parks Trivia — Tuesday, July 28 — 7:00 PM

Rides, resorts, and the kind of park trivia that separates the annual passholders from the casuals.

Anime Trivia — Saturday, August 1 — 7:00 PM

Hosted by Anime Social Nexus, closing out the week with a genre that could fill a month of trivia on its own.

Possible team names:

  • Scooby Gang Rejects
  • Splash Mountain Survivors
  • Isekai’d Again
  • Stake First, Ask Questions Later

Dave & Buster’s Goes Decade-Wide — 14 Locations, 11 States

If you’re near a Dave & Buster’s on Tuesday, July 28, there’s a very good chance it’s running the same event: 90s Decade Theme Trivia, hosted by Leaderboard Games, free to play, prizes on the line. Philadelphia jumped the gun a day early on Monday. Everyone else goes Tuesday night.

It’s the kind of coordinated, nationwide-chain trivia takeover you don’t see often — pick whichever one is closest and you’ll get the exact same throwback night.

Possible team names:

  • Frosted Tips Forever
  • Tamagotchi Support Group
  • Denim on Denim on Denim
  • The Dial-Up Tone

Columbus, Ohio Becomes One Big Music Trivia Circuit

One host, six bars, six nights of music trivia across a single week in Columbus. WTF Music Trivia isn’t just running a night here or there — they’re covering nearly the entire week across the metro area, from Tuesday through Sunday.

If you’re in Columbus and like your trivia with a beat, you genuinely don’t have an excuse not to go at least once this week.

Possible team names:

  • One Hit Wonders Anonymous
  • Name That Tune-nel Vision
  • The Auto-Tuned Crusaders
  • Buckeye Beat Detectives

Tips Before You Go

  • Tuesday, July 28 is the single biggest night of the week: the entire Dave & Buster’s 90s circuit, Slattery’s Disney night, Best Trivia Ever’s Spider-Man night in Wallingford, and a dozen other one-offs. Plan ahead.
  • Columbus, Ohio trivia fans should treat this as a full week of music trivia — WTF Music Trivia is at a different bar almost every night through Sunday.
  • If reality TV, superheroes, and wrestling all sound appealing, Connecticut’s Best Trivia Ever circuit (Milford, Wallingford, Stamford) has you covered on three separate nights.
  • Slattery’s Midtown Pub’s Anime night on Saturday is hosted by Anime Social Nexus, a different host than their usual Trivia AD nights — expect a different flavor of chaos.
  • KEG SOCIAL ORLANDO’s New Girl trivia starts late at 10:00 PM Thursday — plan your evening accordingly.

See You at Trivia!

That’s the lineup for July 27–August 2. Between a fourteen-state chain takeover, a six-night music circuit in Columbus, and Slattery’s completing its third consecutive fandom hat trick, this was a week defined by volume as much as variety.

We’ll be back next week with a fresh batch of themes. Until then, gather your team, pick a fandom, and get out there.
