The Yangtze, at about 3,900 miles (6,300 km), entirely within China.

Flags that look almost identical (and how to tell them apart)

Chad and Romania. Indonesia and Monaco. Ireland and Côte d’Ivoire. Our picture round caused more arguments than the time we asked how many legs a lobster has.

About

A bar that takes trivia a little too seriously

We opened in 2014 with twelve taps and a borrowed microphone. The first trivia night drew nine people, four of them staff. These days Thursdays fill up by 7:30 and the questions are written by a small team of quizmasters who are sometimes right.

Use our questions at your own bar if you like. Just tell people where you got them.
