Pub quiz in Prague: where to play

Prague's English-language quiz scene is smaller than London's, but it's busier than most visitors expect: there's a quiz on somewhere almost every night of the week. The nights tend to live in expat-friendly bars, Irish pubs, bookshops and hostels rather than classic Czech hospody, and 100 CZK is close to a standard entry fee across the city.

We only kept a venue if two sources agreed the quiz is still running, and wherever possible that meant the pub's own site or events calendar. A few Prague venues don't advertise their quiz anywhere official, so for those we've leaned on Expats.cz, the city's English-language news site, which lists the quizzes week by week. Where that's the case, the entry says so. Anything we could only find in one place is noted at the bottom rather than written up as fact. Schedules slip, and most of these nights want you to reserve a table, so ring ahead. The list runs Monday to Sunday.

The James Joyce Irish Pub

Staré Město
Venue page
When
Mondays, 7pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; teams of four to six; three rounds of 12 questions; 1,000 CZK in bar vouchers for first place

Prague's oldest Irish pub, tucked on a quiet street north of Dlouhá, and the questions are on the tougher end of the city's quizzes: history, literature, art and Czech topics alongside the usual pop culture. Book by email or phone, because it fills up. Expats.cz also lists the Monday quiz in its ranking of Prague's Irish pubs.

Philly & Co's Original Cheesesteaks

Žižkov
Venue page
When
Tuesdays, 7pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; teams of two to six; four rounds of 10 questions; room for about nine teams

A cheesesteak joint run by two Chicagoans, with a quiz that leans into European and Czech topics plus formats like backwards songs and emoji puzzles. The crowd skews young and international. The quiz isn't on the restaurant's own site, so this one rests on Expats.cz's weekly listings, which have carried it on consecutive Tuesdays through 2026, and its trivia guide. Worth a phone call before you go.

Manifesto Market Anděl

Smíchov
Venue page
When
Alternate Tuesdays, 6:30pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; teams of four to six; four rounds of five questions; table service while you play

A covered food-market hall rather than a pub, so you can eat properly between rounds and nobody has to fight for a table at the bar. It runs twice a month, so check the venue's event calendar for the next date. The quiz is also listed in Expats.cz's guide to the Prague trivia scene.

The Globe Bookstore & Café

Nové Město
Venue page
When
Wednesdays, 6:30pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; up to eight per team; the city's longest-running English-language quiz; monthly film quiz on a Tuesday

The Globe has been running its quiz for 17 years and it's still the best-known English-language night in town, in a calmer bookshop setting than most. Reservations are strongly recommended. There's also Jerry's Movie Quiz, a separate monthly film night on a Tuesday at 7pm, which books out early.

Third Coast Pizza

Žižkov
Venue page
When
Wednesdays, 7:15pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; pizza-and-quiz setup; mixed bilingual crowd

The Under the Sauce quiz, a good midweek option if you want a more social night and don't mind a more mixed-language crowd. It appears weekly in Expats.cz's English-friendly events roundup.

The Down Under

Vinohrady
Venue page
When
Thursdays, 7pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; teams of up to eight; four rounds of 10 general knowledge questions; 1,000 CZK off the bill for first place

An Australian pub in a basement off Vinohradská with pool tables, darts and sports on the screens, so there's something to do before and after. Prizes run down to house-made pies for second and wine for third. Reserve ahead. The pub's own site doesn't list the quiz, so this one comes from Expats.cz's weekly listings, which have had it on Thursdays all year, and its trivia guide. Older listings describe it as fortnightly, so call ahead.

Beckett's Irish Pub

Vinohrady
Venue page
When
Thursdays, 7:30pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; teams of up to six; three rounds of 12 questions, each opening with a picture round; 12-week season with a trophy

A block south of Náměstí Míru on Londýnská, with flags and football memorabilia on brick-red walls. Scoring works on a Formula 1-style points system across a 12-week season, so there's a reason to keep coming back, and nightly prizes are bar vouchers. The quiz is on the pub's own events calendar and in Expats.cz's weekly listings.

Clown and Bard Hostel

Žižkov
Venue page
When
Thursdays, 7pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; backpacker crowd; good for meeting people as well as answering questions

A lively, international room rather than a serious trivia room, and it works well if you're new in the city. The Thursday night is also listed on pubquiz.cz.

Sally O'Brien's Irish Pub

Letná
Venue page
When
Sundays, 7:30pm
Quick info
100 CZK entry; teams of up to six; three rounds of 20 questions; 12-week league

The one reliable Sunday option here. Questions follow the Trivial Pursuit categories with some Prague-specific ones thrown in, each round has its own soundtrack, and winners get a medal plus scratch-off tickets. The pub posts on Facebook rather than running a website, so our details come from Expats.cz's trivia guide and its feature on the city's quizmasters. Message the pub to reserve.

A few other Prague venues run quizzes we couldn't confirm against a second source, including The Cabin Bar in Vinohrady (twice-monthly Tuesdays), Bohemia Boards and Brews in Palmovka (Sundays, with some themed nights in Czech and Russian) and Nerd Alert in Vršovice (geek and TV trivia once or twice a month). They may well be running, so check their pages if one is near you. If none of these fit, run your own quiz with our free quiz creator, no venue booking required.
