Trivia Night in Melbourne: Thursdays on The Rooftop
Thursday nights look better from The Emerson Rooftop.
Join us for Trivia Night in Melbourne with city views, cocktails at the ready and plenty of friendly competition. Round up your smartest friends – or at least your most confidently incorrect ones – and settle in for an evening of questions, prizes, good food and a little healthy rivalry.
Set against the South Yarra skyline, Thursday Trivia brings a different energy to the usual midweek quiz night. Come for the competition, stay for dinner and drinks, and make a proper night of it.
Thursday Trivia on The Rooftop
Trivia kicks off at 7pm every Thursday, just as The Rooftop starts to settle into the evening.
Find your table, order a round and get the team name locked in before the first questions begin. The full Rooftop menu is available throughout the night, so dinner, drinks and trivia can all happen in one place.
And Melbourne weather? We’ve planned for it. The Rooftop’s retractable roof means the evening can carry on comfortably whatever the forecast has in mind.
Among the many trivia nights Melbourne has to choose from, there aren’t too many that come with skyline views.
Pub Trivia in Melbourne with a Better Backdrop
The questions might get competitive, but the evening doesn’t have to take itself too seriously.
Bring your regular trivia crew, gather a few friends from work or assemble a team that’s particularly confident about its obscure general knowledge. Team sizes are flexible, with larger groups encouraged to book ahead so we can make sure there’s room for everyone.
It’s pub trivia in Melbourne with everything you want from a Thursday night already in place – a great setting, a full bar and plenty to order from the kitchen.
Prizes, Jackpots & Bragging Rights
There’s more at stake than being able to remind everyone you knew the answer.
Thursday Trivia brings prizes, jackpots and giveaways throughout the evening, giving teams more than one opportunity to walk away with something worthwhile. What’s up for grabs can change from week to week, adding a little more anticipation to each Thursday.
Of course, finishing at the top of the leaderboard comes with its own reward: bragging rights until next week.
Dinner & Drinks on The Rooftop
Good trivia deserves better than a packet of chips between rounds.
The full Rooftop menu is available throughout the evening, with plenty to share alongside cocktails, wine, beer and everything else you need to keep the table well looked after.
Order dinner before the first question or settle in and graze throughout the evening. Any additional Trivia Night food or drink specials will be available on the night, so check with the team when you arrive.
