Lincoln’s pub and bar industry leaves its residents spoiled for choice when it comes to drink options in the city – and thankfully there are plenty of places that run regular pub quizzes too!
One of the British public’s favourite pastimes is a good pub quiz, spending time with friends over a few drinks and a clash of brains.
Finding a regular place for pub quizzing can be quite difficult, so we have decided to curate a list of some of the weekly pub quizzes in the city of Lincoln – all of which offer up tempting cash prizes for those who win.
Here are some of the most popular quizzes at Lincoln pubs, and when they take place:
