Pencil This In: Trivia Night Special

quiznights.jpg Shanghai has a pretty varied bar scene, and with that blessing comes the perk of multiple trivia nights throughout the week. This week's Pencil This In is dedicated to helping you locate the city's quizzes, with a couple extra events tossed in for those not interested in building up an arsenal of useless knowledge.

Monday

The Bulldog couples their Manic Monday Quiz with a buy-one-get-one special on their main courses. We're a fan of the mini-chugging contests held between rounds. Winning team wins a 1000 RMB drink voucher.

9 PM. Bulldog, 1 Wulumuqi Lu at Dongping Lu (乌鲁木齐南路1号近东平路) No cover

Tuesday

Newcomers Southern Belle are staking their claim to the Shanghai quiz scene by taking Tuesday hostage and upping the ante with drink specials and bonus prizes. They also offer prizes to the top three teams, with first place enjoying a bottle of Jim Beam.

8:30-10:30 PM. Southern Belle, 433 Changle Lu near Xiangyang Bei Lu (长乐路433号近向阳北路) No cover

Interested in traveling around China or New Zealand? Lucky for you, there's Travel Chat China, which gathers three times a month to discuss travel in both countries, including the best places to go, sights to see, and ways to get there.

10 AM. Costa Coffee, 3196 Hongmei Lu (虹梅路3196号)

Wednesday

China Cycle Tours leads a free night bicycle tour through Shanghai every Wednesday night, starting in the French Concession and cycling through the city before hopping over the Huangpu River into Pudong. If you don't have a bike, it's only 50 RMB to rent a cycle and helmet.

6-9 PM. Meet at 381 Huaihai Zhong Lu, in front of Central Plaza (淮海中路381号,中环广场前面) No cover

Thursday

ShanghaiLGBT holds their trivia night the first Thursday of every month at Frangipani. We haven't joined in before, but we hear there's cheap drinks on hand, an awesome crowd, and of course, prizes to be won.

8-10 PM. Frangipani, 399 Dagu Lu near Shimen Yi Lu (大沽路399号近石门一路) No cover

Bulldog invites you to drop more knowledge at Rack Your Brains, their second quiz night of the week. Hosted by a different quizmaster and complete with a two-for-one deal on all sandwiches, it's a good way to chill with friends on the cusp of the weekend.

9 PM. Bulldog, 1 Wulumuqi Lu at Dongping Lu (乌鲁木齐南路1号近东平路) No cover

Note: O'Malley's Irish Pub also holds a weekly quiz night on Thursdays, but they are currently taking a break and will resume league action on September 3.
