Show off your skills at these 13 Charlotte trivia night events
Charlotte has definitely seen its fair share of pandemic-related venue closures in the past two years. As scores of restaurants, bars, and breweries closed their doors and in-person events became distant memories, the beloved pastime known as “trivia” seemed to also fade into oblivion.
Now that mask mandates have been lifted, nightlife has nearly made its full return to the Queen City. As a result, trivia nights are beginning to make their way back onto the event calendars of well-known pubs and restaurants.
