The pub quiz is a fairly recent phenomenon stemming from common trivia games such as Trivial Pursuit. In the UK, quiz nights are reinventing the traditional pub culture, and in Stockholm new quizzes are popping up on regular basis in the town’s various taprooms.

The pop culture quiz, with main focus on music and movie trivia, seems to be in high demand, so we’ve gone and done a round of the lot in order to pick our five best.

All you’ve got to do is gather your mates, brainstorm the best team name ever, and keep those pints coming! Over the coming few days we’ll be compiling a list of some of Stockholm’s best spots.

Pet Sounds Film Quiz

The monthly Pet Sounds film quiz has become a staple for Stockholm’s film buffs, so I gathered some colleagues from Stockholm’s Film Festival to put our knowledge to the test. The bar was already packed when we arrived (as it tends to be at good quiz nights, especially the monthly ones) but hey, you get a better view of the screen when standing! The theme was 70s cinema – my favourite film era – and despite our best efforts the quiz proved to be quite challenging, which is of course all the more joy for the regular quiz-goer.

With their interesting film choices and questions, appealing themes, film music categories, and the quiz crossword distributed during the break, this quiz will be revisited for sure.

Third Thursday every month at 19:00 at Skånegatan 53 (Sofo). More info here.
