I don't know if anybody else out there goes to bars and/or restaurants to play trivia, but I get together with a couple of friends on Monday nights at a local bar/restaurant to play, and I have fun flexing my knowledge, though it can get discouraging to miss a lot of questions.
One thing that gets me, though, is that there are like three teams who play there regularly, and they have a lot of teachers among their ranks and are extremely good. I don't know if it's because I had a bad time at school or if it's the heavy metal rebel in me, but when I play against any of those teams, I don't just want to do my best, I want to CRUSH them like an empty aluminum can.
