Who doesn’t love a little mid-week pick-me-up? Lucky for us, trivia in Dorchester is no joke and there are plenty of places to earn your bragging rights. Take our advice, follow these rules, and you could be heading home a champion. (Who knows, you might even learn something new!)
No phones. Like ever.
There’s nothing worse than putting your blood, sweat, and beers into a heated game of trivia only to look over at the neighboring high-top with their iPhones all aglow. Make it an even playing field, and save your googling of “Justin Bieber’s Manager’s Name” to your workday research.
The Team Name = Major Key
Keep things interesting with a totally out-there title—bonus points for inappropriateness. When the MC cringes and the bar erupts in laughter, that’s when you know you’ve made it.
Keep Your Cool
Sure, there’s a $50 gift card on the table, which means half of the night’s bill will be taken care of (if you’re lucky). But, be friendly with your opponents. Laugh at their jokes. Ask questions. Hey, even congratulate the winners if you’ve had a few and you’re feeling neighborly. (Unless of course they cheated #triviagate2018)

Pronounced like “parade with an M,” Mairead loves all things nautical, Vineyard-y, and Irish (in case the name didn’t give it away). She can often be found bopping around L Street with her Southie framily, testing out the local nacho scene, and running marathons strictly for the post-race beverages.
