Marrickville Trivia – Pickled Monkey Brewing – Tuesdays at 7pm

Marrickville trivia is kicking off in a new venue.

And it’s in a brewery, so we are pretty sure there will be beer to go with the trivia.

marrickville trivia

It’s at Pickled Monkey Brewing at 127 Victoria Road in Marrickville, and it is kicking off every Tuesday at 7pm.

We’ve got interesting trivia, we’ve got great eats from The Italian Gringo Pizza & Tacos, we’ve got happy hour prices until 6:30pm (so get in early), and we’ve got great prizes courtesy of Pickled Monkey Brewing.

In short, we have got everything you need for a great Tuesday night out.

Of course, Pickled Monkey don’t brew average beer, and iQ Trivia don’t do average trivia. So it’s bound to be a great night out if you are into beer and trivia. (And if you’re not, we have no idea why you are still reading.)

If you’re the kind of person who has memorised every Melbourne Cup winner, congratulations. But to be honest, that probably won’t help you. This isn’t an exam. Rather than just spitting out facts, you’ll probably have have to do some lateral thinking. We will ask questions that you won’t see coming. We will ask questions you probably won’t know off the top of your head, but will enjoy arguing about with your friends. The IQ in iQ Trivia stands for interesting questions, and that is what we will provide.

As always, we’ve got a homework question to give you an advantage. If you want to be on the e-mail list, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with Pickled Monkey in the subject line to be added to our mailing list.

And the Facebook page dedicated to the show will have additional information to help you out.

Book yourselves in for the Marrickville trivia on their website or on 9510 1140.

And we will see you at 7pm every Tuesday in Marrickville at Pickled Monkey Brewing.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 2 February 2025

Because for your team name this week, we want you to put a movie in the past tense.

Any movie titles changed to the past tense will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
