New Yorkers like to think they know it all—or at least most of it. And there's no end of bars offering trivia and quiz nights to settle the contest of who knows the most, often times with prizes for the winners! Here are our favorite places to stretch our gray matter:
One of Williamsburg’s brighter spots, Pete’s Candy Store is always busy. The backroom offers local countryish music and has weekly events like the Quizz-Off, a trivia competition. Get one of the few tables early and enjoy.

82 4th AveThe Gray Mare sticks the landing between dive bar and cocktail lounge. Offering delicious gastropub fare, cozy cocktails and cold beer.
61 2nd Ave (Between Third and Fourth Sts.)Perhaps the longest bar-top in the borough, Gael Pub offers the Upper East Side a solid Irish pub experience, with plenty of specialty beers and the requisite Guinness on tap. Lots of sports on the flat-screens, live music on occasion and weekly trivia night.
