 Get ready for a night of brain-teasing fun, great food, and good times at Mean Deans’ Trivia Night! 


Join us every Tuesday at 6:30 for a lively competition where you and your team can battle it out for bragging rights and prizes. 


Trivia is free to play, and all skill levels are welcome. Enjoy handcrafted cocktails, scratch-made dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere while putting your knowledge to the test. 


Space fills up fast, and we can't always take walk-ins, so reservations are highly recommended (and sometimes required.)

Gather your team, book your spot, and get ready for a fantastic night of trivia, food, and fun!
