I don't drink alcohol, but I spend a lot of time in bars playing trivia. I've played regularly at the following bars:
Clarendon Grill (Clarendon)
Meridian Pint (Columbia Heights)
Old Dominion Brewhouse (Mt. Vernon Square) (RIP)
Madhatter (Dupont Circle)
Mighty Pint (Farragut North) (RIP)
Sign of the Whale (Farragut North)
Hawk n Dove (Capitol Hill) - possibly RIP?
Uptown Tap House (Cleveland Park) (RIP)
Public Bar (Tenleytown) (RIP)
St. Arnold's (Cleveland Park)
Sine Irish Pub (Pentagon City)
Of these, I have fondest memories of Old Dominion Brewhouse in Mt. Vernon Square, which was located inside of the Walter Washington Convention Center. It was really a strange place. It was a Chinese restaurant that also operated a bar. It was slightly seedy-looking. There was Chinese food on the menu. The clientel was always slightly off. Trivia night was Tuesday night, and one of the other teams was this middle aged man a suit, whose only teammate was an elementary school aged child. A divorced dad with Tuesday night custody? That was my guess.
My team won almost every week and we were routinely booed, especially the one time I "tebowed" after we won for the millionth time in a row. It was around the time Tim Tebow was big with the Broncos.
