Do you enjoy trivia? Does your geographical expertise or memorization of football line ups impress your friends? Put that knowledge to good use at a local pub quiz and you might even be rewarded with prizes.
Biercafe Doerak
If you’re good at trivia, you might win a bottle of beer. Once every six weeks a pub quiz is organised on a Sunday, and teams typically have five members. “The quiz is in Dutch, but the questions are really international. There are a lot of questions about movies and rounds with pictures and several other categories that everyone can try,” said Marijke Vuik, the owner. There are limited spaces so book in advance on Facebook by email or at the bar.

O’Casey’s Irish Pub and Restaurant
If you can’t wait a whole month for your trivial pursuit, head to Den Haag. O’Casey’s Irish Pub has been hosting a quiz every Thursday night for over 15 years. Held in English and Dutch, the quiz is often hosted by QuestionMark, a popular quizmaster. “While some nights are busier than others, an average quiz night has about 15 teams, so if you’re coming in a big group it’s best to book in advance,” said Jim Bowers, one of the managers of the pub. Entry fee is five euros per team and questions are on general knowledge topics.
