Rock & Pop Culture Trivia

Melbs's longest running independent pub trivia night, hosted by Jess McGuire & George H! Find us at Do you love rock and roll? Book a table by calling 9036 1456.

Fancy yourself as quite the film buff? Find yourself constantly accused of watching too much television by judgmental friends and family? Well, why not turn your obsession with pop culture into an adorably boozy (and thoroughly educational) night out with mates! Regulars at the Corner Hotel, the B.East, and The Gaso have cleverly turned their knowledge of all things trivial into cold hard slabs of

beer since 2006, 2012, and 2014 respectively by participating in our infamous Rock & Pop Culture Trivia night. We have three rounds of trivia - the first is film and TV related, the second is all about music, and the third is a mixed bag of the first two plus anything else we feel like throwing in. A jug of beer is given away at the end of every round, and at the end of the evening third place scores a frothy and refreshing jug of beer, second place scores a cheeky bottle of red (or an insolent bottle of white), and first place takes home twenty-four cold ones in slab form. THE GASOMETER TRIVIA DETAILS!

- Monday nights in the cosy front bar of the newly reopened Gaso, it smells like rich mahogany and you instantly become 47% classier just from sitting in the room. Amazing food and there trivia meal deals available (with vego and vegan options). Rock up and try your luck in grabbing a table, or play it safe by booking ahead with the front bar (call 9416 3335 to lock it down)

THE B.EAST TRIVIA DETAILS!

- Tuesday nights. Kick off is around 8pm, but it's always best to get there early in order to ensure you are able to grab a table for you and your mates and get your food order in. Totally free! Vegos, I recommend you feast on the insanely good/hot Morrissey burger. Just a tip. CORNER HOTEL TRIVIA DETAILS!

- Wednesday nights in the Rooftop Bar. Kick off is around 8pm, but it's also worth getting there early to make sure you get a table inside. They've now opened up the doors which means you can sit inside or outside if the weather's great! Book a table by calling the Corner Box Office on 9036 1456. Food and drink deals for trivia patrons, and keep an eye out for jug specials! Hosted by Jess McGuire (Double J, ABC, RRR, Defamer Australia) and George H (Shock Records).

Trivia Mates of The North!

Some huge news from us here at Rock and Pop Culture Trivia with the announcement that we are setting up a new night back in our spiritual home of Brunswick, on Tuesdays at The Brunswick Ballroom!

17 years ago we kicked off this crazy ride at The East and then The Corner (which is still going strong!), so we thought it high time to get back to Brunswick!

Starting way back in 2006 and run by Melbourne trivia luminaries Jess McGuire and George H, Rock and Pop Culture Trivia has held a continuous run at The Corner Hotel on Wednesday nights, along with lengthy and beloved residencies at The East, The B.East, The Gasometer, and The Workers Club.

Thousands upon thousands of questions about music, film, TV and other weird (but important) facts have been asked, thousands of jugs won, and copious amounts of slabs, bottles of red wine, meal vouchers and gig tickets have been given away along with plenty of laughs and great music played along the way.

Rock & Pop Culture Trivia sets up its new home in the sumptuous surrounds of Melbourne’s fastest growing band room, The Brunswick Ballroom. The best Trivia brains from the North are invited back to test their otherwise useless pop culture knowledge against their equally knowledgeable peers for the chance to win prizes and of course, all important bragging rights weekly.

Take advantage of The Brunswick Ballroom’s well-equipped kitchen and delicious weekly trivia meal specials.
