Pub quiz 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.

Pubs change hands and quiz nights move with them, so a quick call or a look at the pub's socials before you set off is never wasted.

Quick info
Smartphone-based quiz; recent restart; check timings before you go

The pub reopened under new management in February 2026 and lists the quiz every Wednesday as Speed Quizzing with Stoo Pittaway, but doesn't give a start time, so check before you go.

Wednesdays, 8pm; Sundays, 7pm
Quick info
£3 entry; teams of up to four; live music venue with proper local history

A Kings Heath pub that's been around since 1820 and in its present building since 1907, with Grade II-listed Art Nouveau tiles and a music history that includes UB40's first gig in 1979. Both quizzes run in the Saloon bar, and the Wednesday entry fee is cash only.

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