What's bar trivia? Is it a trivia game to be played exclusively in a saloon while slamming down pitchers of brewski on a tabletop? Is it general knowledge trivia? Or is it a pop quiz that's all of the above but more relaxed and user-friendly? See, we already have so many questions, and we haven't even started playing the actual game yet! But, anyway, this is our list of bar trivia questions for you to enjoy. Hopefully.
So, what should you expect from these questions? (Yeah, we know, that was also a question.) Well, for starters, this funny bar trivia will absolutely test your wits and logical thinking in a slew of entertaining inquiries about the fabric of the world around you. Just kidding, they are nowhere near as philosophical as we've just implied. However, they will ask some logical thinking of you. Once you've conquered those questions, you'll proverbially unlock the next stage, which will then test your general knowledge of the longest-ruling monarchs, capital cities, and highest summits. The stuff we all know but don't know where we've learned it - real classics.
Now that you know what to expect from this list, it might be time to actually check out our trivia questions and answers. In fact, if you're a bit on the eccentric side of things, you might even play this trivia game the other way around - first, the answers and then think about what questions they answer. Whatever tickles your fancy!
