Pub quiz nights in Birmingham: where to play

Birmingham is not a headline quiz city, but it has a solid weeknight circuit if you know where to look. These are the ones we could verify were still running.

The Wellington

Bennetts Hill
Venue page
When
Sundays, 7:30pm
Quick info
£2 entry; up to six per team; proper real ale pub setup

The Wellington is a great choice if you want a classic ale pub with a proper quiz room and a loyal local crowd.

The Victoria

John Bright Street
Venue page
When
Wednesdays, 7:30pm
Quick info
£2 entry; complimentary samosas; central city spot

This is a good city-centre option if you want an easy midweek night without a big travel time.

The Actress and Bishop

Jewellery Quarter
Venue page
When
Mondays, 8pm
Quick info
Phone-based quiz; fast-paced; booking worth checking

A lively music venue rather than a traditional pub quiz room, which makes it a good option if you want a more energetic night.

The Lord Clifden

Jewellery Quarter
Venue page
When
Wednesdays, quiz night
Quick info
Smartphone-based quiz; recent restart; check timings before you go

This one is worth checking ahead because the pub has recently changed hands and the schedule is still a little less fixed than the rest.

The Hare and Hounds

Kings Heath
Venue page
When
Wednesdays and Sundays
Quick info
£3 entry; teams of up to four; live music venue with proper local history

This is one of the best places in the city if you want a pub with character and a quiz that feels like part of the local scene rather than a pop-up event.

If none of these work, it is easy to run your own using our free quiz creator.
