Ok, so you have never joined in a Pub Quiz before? Shame on you! Basically it is just a fun night out for all. The questions vary from general knowledge to entertainment, music and brainteasers! You make a team and pay a EURO each to receive the first of four rounds of questions. The teams vary in size so it is up to you to decide how many people you will need to win. Do remember that a big team isn't a guarantee for a big result!

Of course there are prizes to be won as well. The prizes vary per quiz but there is a lot to win. The first ten teams always get a prize but the real thrill is beating all of the other teams and just simply being the best. Examples of prizes we have given away in the past:

• Bottles of Jameson/Vodka
• Tickets to concerts/movies
• Static duster (As seen on TV)
• Life size Furby (1.75m)
• T shirts/Rugby shirts
• CD's/videos/DVD's
• Tickets for our comedy night!
• Lots and Lots of other things!
