Is your friend group gelling just a little too well these days? Are you eager to infuse some domestic drama into your Tuesday nights with a fierce and increasingly emotional debate over whether Americans eat more corn or potatoes and other such matters of premier importance? The answer to your woes is one of our city's abundant trivia nights. We've arranged these according to neighborhood, moving from north to south. And be advised: during March Madness, Seahawks games, and other big sporting events, some of these spots may cancel trivia (to the chagrin of sports agnostics). Make sure to call ahead, on these occasions.
