Pub quiz nights in Edinburgh: where to play

Edinburgh has a smaller quiz scene than Glasgow, but it still has a few reliable weekly fixtures. These are the ones we could actually verify.

The Black Bull

Grassmarket
Venue page
When
Thursdays, 8pm
Quick info
Free entry; £30 bar tab for first; central Old Town location

A reliable Old Town option if you want a straightforward weekly quiz without much travel.

The Mad Hatter

Torphichen Place
Venue page
When
Wednesdays, around 7:30pm
Quick info
Free entry; teams up to five; prize for first place

This is a good West End pick if you want a compact local rather than a bigger sports-bar setup.

The Fountain

Dundee Street
Venue page
When
Sundays, 8pm
Quick info
Sunday quiz; hosted by Goose’s Quizzes; good if midweek nights do not suit

A useful option if you want a Sunday night quiz and do not fancy the usual midweek rhythm.

The Pear Tree

West Nicolson Street
Venue page
When
Mondays, 9pm
Quick info
£1 entry; eight drinks for the winners; Southside favourite

One of the better-value nights in the city, and a good pick if you want something a little more relaxed than a central-city pub.

Malones Leith

Constitution Street

When
Mondays, 7pm
Quick info
Prize wheel, bar tab and bottles; Leith regular

A solid Leith option and one of the better-known quiz rooms in the city if you are heading north.

If none of these fit your evening, use our quiz creator and run your own night instead.
