The Grapevine

Or, some news pertaining to Trivia in Vancouver. 3 Updates from the last month:

  • It looks like Fray has closed down, so their quiz is therefore also finished. It is too bad, because it had some of the better quiz night food in town. If you're looking for a place to go, I'd recommend 131 Water, but there are quite a few other options as well. Take a look at the Master List and see what suits you.
  • The Cascade Room quiz is on hiatus until April 15th, so don't act surprised if you show up on a Monday and there is no quiz.
  • Finally, good news! There Is No Easy Mode returns to EXP Bar March 27th, at 9PM. I went last time, and it was a lot of fun. It is videogame trivia, and they aren't kidding with the name. A good time if you want to think about videogames all night. 
I've got a few more reviews coming up in the next couple of weeks - Darby's, Relish, Falconetti's and the aforementioned EXP Bar.

For those interested, Geek Bowl VII in Austin was an awesome time. It was definitely the best pub quiz I've ever been to, but that is probably because they run quizzes every night of the week all year, and then try real hard to give you the best possible show. And they did a great job. We came in 32nd. Read the full recap, if you like!

  1. Shame to hear about the Fray since it was right in my neighbourhood and the announcement was completely out of nowhere! Trivia at the Stormcrow Tavern is on the horizon soon: https://www.facebook.com/stormcrowtavern/posts/526119960773755

    1. It is a pity, but in the end, you can still go to the Cove if you want the same quiz (more or less). Storm Crow seems to be filling the void once a month on Wednesdays, anyways. First Quiz is this week, run by the guys who do the ANZA club quiz. They're awesome hosts, so I recommend it!
