You’ve heard all about trivia nights. Maybe you’ve even attended one yourself at another restaurant, bar, or another event. But you still might not be quite sure that hosting a fun bar trivia night is the right idea for your establishment. Today, we’ll let you know exactly what it is that makes hosting one such a fantastic idea!
Why Do People Love Trivia?
People love trivia nights for the same reason that they love all other types of games. Some friendly competition always makes for a great time! Add in some delicious snacks, drinks, and entrees, and you’ve got a surefire recipe for a great time.
Snacks and Drinks for Fun Bar Trivia Nights
One of the greatest parts of using your restaurant or bar as a trivia night venue is that you’ll have new faces to market your menu to. Players will want a snack, drinks, or even a full meal before, during, or after your trivia event. Spice things up with menu items specific to your event! A limited-time menu of items only available during trivia events is also a great way to draw in foodies as well as trivia challengers.
Fun Bar Trivia Nights Create Connections
Hosting a restaurant or bar trivia night is also fun because of the loose, casual atmosphere, and the ability for guests to work in teams with their friends and family. Trivia nights make for a great bonding experience. They’re also a good excuse for guests to arrange a catch-up with old friends, too! In today’s world, more and more people are working from home and away from coworkers and colleagues. Bar trivia nights offer a great opportunity for people to connect with one another and bond over a shared love of trivia. If hosting trivia nights becomes a regular occurrence for your restaurant, there’s a good chance that the same people will begin showing up week after week. You’ll start to build a great trivia community!
Prizes
Guests also love trivia night because they’ll get the chance to win big–even if allowing them to “win big” doesn’t cost your restaurant a ton of money. Great prizes include coupons or gift cards for your restaurant or other local establishments, which can help promote your restaurant’s community. Alternatively, you can even use cash as a prize! Another great idea is to offer a special menu item to the winning individual or team, like a dessert or appetizer platter.
We hope that our tips are helpful to you as you work to host a fantastic trivia night!
