There is nothing quite like the competitive thrill of a proper local pub quiz to break up the working week.
Whether you are battling it out for a hefty bar tab, a cash jackpot, or simply the ultimate bragging rights over your mates, a good trivia night is a staple of a great local pub - and, equally, a chance to put that ‘useless knowledge’ co-workers suggest you have to good use.
At least that’s what I get told in the newsroom, anyway.
From interactive smartphone rounds and music intros to the classic pen-and-paper general knowledge tests, we asked Yorkshire Evening Post readers on Facebook to name their favourite quiz nights across the city.
Scroll through our gallery below to see 14 of the best pub quizzes in Leeds, as chosen by the people who know them best - you!
1. The Fleece
If you like to mix up your disciplines rather than sticking to the same old questions, reader Clare Fowler highly recommends this local favourite, noting they run "general knowledge on a Wednesday night and music quiz on a Sunday night." 📝 Fartown, Pudsey, Leeds LS28 8LP | Local Library
2. grounded&co
Who says a quiz has to involve a traditional pub setting? If you prefer a more modern, quirky vibe up in the city centre, reader Andrew Lydon suggests checking out their "Friday night geek quizzes and cocktails at grounded&co." 📝 3 Cross Belgrave St, Leeds LS2 8JP | Google Street View
3. The Britannia
A good quiz is nothing without a welcoming atmosphere to back it up. Highlighting the fantastic community feel over in Pudsey, reader Louise Kaye praised the "fantastic owners and really nice staff too" when putting this venue forward. 📝 31 Swinnow Rd, Pudsey, Leeds LS28 9AP | Google
4. The White Horse
Another Pudsey institution that clearly has a fiercely loyal following. It was heavily backed by readers Lee Rowlands and Emma Rowlands, with Louise Kaye also naming it alongside The Britannia as one of the ultimate local trivia destinations. 📝 2 Hough Side Rd, Pudsey LS28 9BR | Google Street View
5. The Old King's Arms
A bold claim was made for this beloved Horsforth venue, but a good quizmaster really does make or break the night. Reader Mark Griffin confidently stated: "Old King's Arms, Horsforth. Quizerella is the best quizmaster in the country." 📝 The Green, Horsforth, Leeds LS18 5JB | Google Street View
6. The Bar on Park Lane
If you want a bit of interactive game-show magic alongside your standard general knowledge rounds, reader Nikki Lou says this Roundhay spot is an absolute must-visit, praising their "Fab Quiz, Play Your cards Right!!" 📝 Park Ln, Roundhay, Leeds LS8 2EX | Google Street View
