Strange, I don’t see any of the nites of Trivia Night with Aaron DeLeo anywhere (Couch brewery, Allegheny city brewing, etc) He’s the best trivia host by far in the city, He has guest hosts like Rick Sebak. He’s got clout and super-awesome questions. Take a look. He’s Pittsburgh’s best kept secret
I noticed that too. The questions that Aaron writes are challenging but definitely rewarding.
Those other trivia places either ask simpleton questions or impossible ones where you’ve never heard of the answer…..At Aaron’s trivia, you earn every point,. I agree too that its Pittsburgh’s best kept trivia secret.
I know that this is an old article, but you should do an updated one, You should also check out the one at Barley House It’s unlike any other trivia I’ve played…and the give away vacations every month!
