Five Mapped Rooms, Six Ways to Play
Draft Sampling Before Round One
Clinton Hall gives a team room to settle before the first question, with bartenders who let guests sample different draft brews. Board games and sports on TV keep the table occupied between rounds, while grilled cheese and loaded waffles cover the food. Friday and Saturday service runs until 2:00 AM. The 4.2 rating from 660 reviews gives a practical benchmark, while busy hours can bring sparse service. Reservations are available through the venue's party request page.
Screens, Sound, And Trivia
Eastpoint gives trivia teams a sports-bar setting at 25 Avenue B in the East Village, with outdoor cafe seating for groups that want air between rounds. The venue lists pub trivia, game sound, and a mix of Tex-Mex fare and drinks. Five TVs sit alongside three 100-inch projectors, keeping simultaneous games visible across the room. Reservations run through SevenRooms, while the official record leaves hours and aggregate rating unlisted. Check the listing before heading over.
A Three-Floor Pub With Options
Three floors give The Perfect Pint a flexible shape for trivia teams, with a rooftop bar when the room needs a change of scene. The pub serves Irish comfort food and keeps sports in the mix, making a long quiz easy to extend into dinner. Three floors and a rooftop bar are the useful planning detail. It opens from 9:00 AM daily except Sunday at 11:00 AM and runs late, to 3:00 AM most nights.
Late Hours, Low-Key Games
Sadie's Ward shifts the quiz toward a late-night bar setting, with a throwback jukebox, pool table, and women's sports on screen. The Lower East Side address is 121 Essex Street, and the room's bar-games setup suits teams that want something to do between questions. Service runs until 4:00 AM every day, with noon weekend openings for an earlier start. The venue lists a mid-priced range and a 4.7 rating from 194 reviews.
Yorkville's Happy-Hour Window
The Five Lamps brings a quieter Yorkville option, with a neighborhood pub layout, sports on screen, and a menu that can carry a team past the final round. At 1586 York Avenue, it works for groups that prefer conversation between clues. Weekday happy hour runs from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with listed house drinks, wine, cocktails, and appetizers at set prices. Weekends add brunch from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the kitchen closes at 10:00 PM.
Multi-Lounge Play Near Grand Central
T-Squared Social turns trivia night into a broader game plan near Grand Central, pairing darts, cinema, live entertainment, and sports viewing with a large lounge footprint. The 7 East 42nd Street address is convenient for teams meeting after work. Its multi-lounge setup keeps a large venue divided into smaller zones, while golf simulators and duckpin bowling give the group a second activity. It serves a mid-priced bar menu and holds a 4.3 rating from 437 reviews.
