Pub quiz nights in Vienna: where to play in English

An Irish pub on Schottenfeldgasse, just off Mariahilfer Straße and a short walk from U3 Zieglergasse. This is one of Luki's PubQuiz nights, a format built around 15 questions with a song playing under each one, using your phone to answer instead of paper. Important detail: the Golden Harp runs the same quiz in German on Thursdays at the same time, so make sure the date you register for is marked EN.

Same operator and same format as the Monday night, in the bar of a hostel at Europaplatz, right at Westbahnhof. Being inside a hostel, the room turns over a lot of people who've only just arrived in the city, and the transport links are about as good as they get in Vienna.

An English pub and craft beer bar on Schönbrunner Straße in the fifth district. The money model is the clearest of any quiz here: entry is free, everyone puts in a euro, and the whole pot goes to the winning team. The pub says outright that teams form on the night, so you can walk in on your own and be on a team by the first question. The kitchen runs past the end of the quiz.

A small international pub on Kettenbrückengasse that bills itself as a house of comedy, music and art, and runs English and German comedy nights alongside the quiz. The quiz is hosted weekly and teams can be as small as one person, which is unusual and useful. The venue doesn't publish an entry fee, so bring cash in case.

An Irish pub on Währinger Straße in the ninth district, near the university. The format is 20 questions with a jackpot that only pays out if a team gets every single one right, which means it rolls over and grows for weeks at a time. Teams are capped at six.
