Pub quiz in Glasgow: where to play

Glasgow has one of the strongest pub quiz scenes in the UK, and the best nights are spread across the city rather than all clustered in one area. Edinburgh's Goose's Quizzes run a few free-entry nights here too. We've added the one we could confirm with a second source. Quiz nights change, so check the venue before you set out.
