Gather your squad and join us to see if you've got the brains to be crowned the king of the geeks. Do you have what it takes to be crowned king of the geeks? Gather your squad of smarties (or smart alecks) together and join us for a night filled with trivia spanning all manner of topics. Newbie? No worries, here's a sneak peak of what to expect: Bring your own team of up to six, or find some new friend when you arrive. Trivia is free to attend, but the bar is open with delicious cocktails, mocktails and bar bites to keep stomach's full and smiles wide. Expect about 60 questions over the two hour timespan. No looking up answers on your phone! Winners may go on to receive massive fame, fortune, a happy home life, self-realization, etc.* (and maybe a few physcial prizes, too).

Geeks Who Drink Trivia is a weekly, two-hour team trivia competition hosted inside the Video Vortex bar at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. The game consists of sixty questions covering a wide range of topics, from pop culture to history, with no phone use allowed during play. Teams can include up to six players, and you can either bring your own group or join others when you arrive. While admission is free, you will want to budget for the venue's menu of local draft beers, custom cocktails, and shareable snacks. Parking is available in the dedicated deck behind the theater, and the event is best suited for adults and older teens who can keep up with fast-paced trivia. This event makes a fantastic mid-week break because it offers a structured, low-pressure way to socialize. The casual bar setting inside the movie theater provides a nostalgic backdrop for a night out with friends or a casual date night.
