Pub quiz in Manchester: where to play

Pencils Down is one of the easiest pub quizzes to recommend in the city: cheap, regular and a little lively without being chaotic.

A dependable midweek option if you want an easy city-centre stop with a regular crowd.

This is better if you want a more event-like quiz with food, drinks and a bigger room rather than a low-key local-night vibe.

Quingo is less like a standard pub quiz and more like a social game night, which makes it a great option if you want something lighter.

This is a good neighbourhood choice if you want something less central and more community-built.

A straightforward local quiz with a loyal regular crowd, and a good option if you are heading south of the centre.
