i love pub quizzes 
bort i now want to go to nz just to go to a quiz with you |
I would like
KR people to come to NZ to go quizzing with me. It would be teh awesomes. I promise.
It's a bit rude charging entry for a quiz when the prize is just a bar tab anyway. They should have already factored the costs in. Silly. Could drive away teams who would have been suckered into entering because it's free, but are too stupid to win and so end up buying drinks anyway. These people
do exist.

Generally the regular prizes are bar tabs anyway, so there's not much else you could spend them on, and so it funds me drinking for free three or four nights a week, and also a fair bit of my eating (most of the places I go have semi-decent food). The jackpot prizes tend to be cash. Though sometimes bar tabs as well. As long as it's somewhere you can stand to go for dinner, it can save loads of money.

America needs to get with the times on the pub quizzes. |
Surely an English or Irish theme pub might have one? As grotesque as that sounds, it could be your best bet. Here it was the Englishy and Oirishy pubs that started doing it. Any sensible pub will have bar tabs as most of the prizes, and not charge entry. Because if you have about 15 teams in and only three or so win prizes, the rest are all buying their drinks. Surefire way to get pubs packed on the slow nights. In NZ most pubs are pretty dead on a Monday night, but down The Cook there are over 50 people, and very few are getting food and drinks for free (i.e. are in my team).
