The Best Pub Quizzes in Cardiff

by Lynn Roberts

Strapped for cash? Try winning some at a Cardiff Quiz.

The Woodville
The Woodville, Woodville Road

As any canny twenty-something will know, the last resort when you're strapped for cash is a local pub quiz. It's true that you'll almost certainly be beaten by a beer-bellied team who've been regulars at the pub longer than you've been alive, but it's worth a go all the same.

Cardiff is host to a plethora of pub quizzes. Indeed, you'll be able to busy yourself with one every night of the week should it take your fancy. On the right you'll see a round-up of the best quizzes in Cardiff, and the prizes you could win. The shortlist includes the Crwys pub in Cathays, where the less sociable know-it-all can enter all on his or her tod.

Good Luck!
