Monday
Monday music quiz
at The Crane Bar · 2 Sea Rd, Galway

Wednesday
Wednesday quiz — the lane pub
at The Mutton Lane Inn · 3 Mutton Lane, off Patrick St, Cork

Entry: €5 entry.
Captain’s call quiz
at MacCarthy’s Bar · Castletownbere, Cork
Six rounds, team captain runs to the bar between rounds to hand in answers. The captain’s call format is most alive west of the Shannon and MacCarthy’s is its heartland. Bring four, a fifth costs you a pint.
Entry: Not recorded; confirm with the venue.
Thursday
Thursday quiz — Limerick city
at Nancy Blake’s · Upper Denmark St, Limerick
General knowledge with an Irish current-affairs round that separates locals from visitors. Teams of two to six, €3 entry, prize fund. The trad session runs Sunday afternoons in the same beer garden — the Thursday quiz crowd and Sunday session crowd have essentially no overlap.
Entry: €3 entry.
Thursday table quiz — Galway
at The Skeff Bar · Eyre Square, Galway
Six rounds, picture round at the start, answer sheet in at the end. Eyre Square location makes it accessible from most of the city. Teams of four maximum — the Skeff quiz is competitive and the tables are small.

Quiz formats — what to expect
Team captain runs to the bar with the answer sheet between rounds. Theatrical, popular west of the Shannon. The run is part of the game.
Sheet at every table, hand it in at the end. Most common format. The picture round is usually what costs you first place.
Identify song, artist and decade from a clip. Pub PA quality varies. The decade round is always wrong.
Prize rolls over each week until someone wins. Creates genuine tension after a few weeks of rollover. One sudden-death question at the end.
