Of course, all outdoor trivia will be weather-permitting, so follow us on Facebook or Twitter to get info on any possible cancellations in the event of inclement weather.
Here's a breakdown of the MKE beer garden and patio spots that will be hosting Quizmaster Trivia this summer...
The Bavarian Bierhaus, Glendale – map
Thursdays at 7pm, now in session
Serving up a fine selection of traditional German brews, the venue also has a great variety of European foods, including Bratwurst, giant pretzels, as well as a Wisconsin favorite, Friday fish fry.
The Bierhaus also boasts an impressive outdoor space, with a back deck that is attached to the main building. During the summer trivia takes place in the beer garden, located a stone's throw away from the main building, just to the west of the main parking lot. The space is equipped with it's own bar, so there's no need to walk up to the main building to order a brew or food.
Additionally, the venue is also known for hiring local music talent to play traditional German sounds, with more on their event schedule found at their website.
The Landing at Hoyt Park, Wauwatosa – map
Wednesdays at 7pm, starting June 7th
The Landing is open May through October, and now has indoor seating when the weather does not cooperate. They’ve added flat screen TV’s and 10’ projector screen for sports and other special events beyond the beer garden season, and have a great selection of beers such as Karmeliten Festbier, Ale Asylum Hopalicious, New Glarus Totally Naked and MKE Brewing Company Outboard Cream Ale, as well as many other local, craft and import brews. They also serve a selection of wine, ciders and a menu that includes Milwaukee Pretzel Company giant pretzels, delightful bratwursts and Cranky’s pizza.
Besides hosting Quizmaster on Wednesdays, the Landing has live music in the beer garden every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night throughout the summer.
Trivia at the Landing is brought to you by Suzanne Powers Realty Group and Cross Country Mortgage.
Red Lion Pub, downtown Milwaukee – map
Thursdays at 8pm
Quiz night serves up $5 giant pretzels as well as $4 select drafts which rotate from week to week. Plus if you like accents then this is the place to be. Their Welsh Quizmaster can be tough to comprehend at times (we joke, honestly), but is great with the punters. Plus, as far as views go, it's not too shabby quizzing while overlooking the Milwaukee River.
McGillycuddy's, downtown Milwaukee – map
Tuesdays at 8pm
The bar is a staple of Milwaukee's drinking culture and boasts a phenomenal outdoor patio (located at the back of the venue) for a downtown spot that's not on the water. Trivia features great specials including $7 domestic pitchers, $4 Tall Three Olives Mixers and it wouldn't be an Irish pub without a whiskey deal: $3 shots of Jameson!
The venue is also a hotbed for MKE sports fans, particularly those wearing green and gold, but also has a loyal following for Chicago hockey fans too. It is, after all, Milwaukee's official Blackhawks bar. Plus the patio is frequently a spot for live music in the summer months.
O'Lydias, Walker's Point – map
Wednesdays at 8pm
The venue also has tap beer specials on quiz night and offers bar tabs, bottles of booze and beer swag for it's quiz winners too. Plus, in the summer time the venue's back patio is a breeding ground for thirsty Walker's Point patrons... just so long as you don't mind the odd freight train rolling by every once in a while. That may sound like a slight headache but anyone who's frequented O'Lydias just knows it's part of the scenery and adds to the bar's unprecedented MKE charm.
