A good trivia night is hard to find. The format hasn't changed much — gather a team, answer questions, argue about whether your answer was close enough, win or lose — but the best nights add something on top: good atmosphere, decent prizes, questions that are actually interesting rather than just Wikipedia hard.

Adelaide has a solid trivia scene, concentrated mostly in the inner suburbs. Here's a guide to the best weekly quiz nights in Adelaide in 2026, including both nights running at The Suburban Brew.

Quiz Meisters Trivia at The Suburban Brew Glynde — every Thursday

Every Thursday at 6:30pm, The Suburban Brew Glynde runs Quiz Meisters Trivia Night at 26-30 Provident Avenue, Glynde SA 5070.

Quiz Meisters is one of the better trivia formats running in Adelaide pubs right now. The questions rotate across categories, there's a mix of difficulty and the nights are designed to be fun rather than brutally punishing if your team isn't a walking encyclopedia. Rotating food trucks are on the night so you can eat while you play.

Good for: groups of 4-8, teams who want a proper night out rather than a quick round, anyone in the inner east looking for a reliable Thursday plan.

Book your table in advance — Thursday nights at Glynde fill up. Walk-ins can sometimes find a spot but it's worth locking in.

Survey Says at The Suburban Brew Goodwood — every Wednesday

Every Wednesday at 6pm, The Suburban Brew Goodwood runs Survey Says at 96 Goodwood Road, Goodwood SA 5034.

Survey Says is a gameshow-style trivia format modelled on Family Feud — teams go head to head guessing the most popular survey answers rather than just competing on general knowledge. It's a different format to standard trivia nights and it makes for a more interactive, noisier evening. Reggie's Detroit pizza is available on the night.

Good for: groups who find standard trivia a bit dry, teams in the inner south looking for a mid-week plan, anyone who grew up watching Family Feud and wants to settle old arguments.

Book your table ahead of time — Wednesday fills up.

Tips for a good Adelaide trivia night

Book ahead. The best nights in Adelaide's inner suburbs fill up by mid-week, especially Thursday. Showing up without a booking is a gamble.

Go with 4-6 people. Smaller teams often do better than large ones on general knowledge — you end up with more focused discussion and less noise. For Survey Says-style formats, 6-8 is the sweet spot.

Don't take it too seriously. The best trivia nights are the ones where losing is still a good night. Pick a venue with good beer and food and you're already ahead.

Both nights are free to play

Both the Quiz Meisters night at Glynde and Survey Says at Goodwood are free to play. No entry fee, no ticket required — just book a table and show up.
