How to Make Your Bar’s Trivia Night a Success

Trivia nights can transform a slow evening into a packed house, but success doesn’t happen by accident. As a bar owner in the Bay Area, you want a trivia night that keeps customers coming back. Here’s how to make it happen with Campbell Entertainment.

First, pick the right night—midweek works best, like Tuesday or Wednesday, when bars need a boost. Promote it early with flyers, social media, and a shoutout during busier nights. Partner with a professional trivia host (like us!) to keep the energy high and the questions fresh. Our Bay Area trivia hosts bring local flair, from San Francisco history to Silicon Valley tech trivia, ensuring your crowd stays engaged.

Offer themed nights—think “80s Pop Culture” or “Bay Area Sports”—and pair them with drink specials to keep the tabs running. Keep rounds short (6-8 questions) to maintain pace, and throw in a prize or two, like a gift card or free drinks. With Campbell Entertainment, you get a seamless setup, from sound systems to scorekeeping, so you can focus on slinging beers. Ready to pack your bar?
