Event Description
Trivia at Friar Tuck’s Tavern gives Monday nights in downtown Mystic a little extra excitement, with two hours of questions, friendly competition, and prizes for the sharpest teams. Hosted by A.C., the weekly gathering runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and welcomes anyone who enjoys putting their knowledge to the test. Admission is free, and the top two teams take home prizes.
Located at 12 Water Street in the heart of historic Mystic, Friar Tuck’s Tavern brings the atmosphere of a traditional Irish and English pub to one of the village’s busiest streets. The locally owned restaurant combines hearty comfort food, a wide selection of craft beers and whiskey, and a casual setting where friends can gather for dinner, drinks, and a little competition.
A Monday Night Challenge With A.C.
Every Monday evening, A.C. takes the lead as players settle in for a night of brain-teasing questions. Some answers might come immediately. Others could have teammates debating which movie came out first, who recorded a familiar song, or whether that history lesson from years ago is finally going to pay off.
That’s part of the fun. Trivia gives everyone a chance to contribute, whether they’re good with dates, remember obscure facts, or have a surprising talent for recognizing things nobody else can identify.
The competition lasts two hours, with prizes going to the top two teams. There’s no admission charge, making it an easy way to spend a Monday evening without committing to anything more than a little friendly rivalry.
Pub Favorites Make Trivia Night Even Better
One of the attractions of trivia at Friar Tuck’s is the food. The tavern’s menu draws heavily from traditional Irish and English cooking, with plenty of familiar American favorites.
Guests can start with Scotch eggs, a soft-boiled egg wrapped in seasoned sausage, breaded, and fried, or try the Irish potato skins topped with slow-roasted corned beef and a blend of cheeses. Other shareable choices include Bavarian pretzel sticks, wings, and hand-cut chips served with house-made Irish curry sauce.
For something more substantial, the kitchen offers English fish and chips, bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, burgers, and sandwiches. The restaurant’s signature Friar Tuck’s Burger comes topped with bacon, shoestring onion rings, and stout beer cheese.
The tavern also offers a selection of craft beers, cocktails, and whiskey, along with nonalcoholic drinks. Whether you’re planning dinner before the first question or grabbing something to share during the game, there are plenty of choices.
A Downtown Mystic Tavern With Plenty of Personality
Friar Tuck’s has established itself as a gathering place for locals and visitors who enjoy traditional pub food and a lively atmosphere. Beyond trivia, the tavern features live music, karaoke, and seasonal outdoor dining.
Inside, the restaurant has the relaxed feel of a neighborhood pub, with a full bar, televisions, and tables for groups. It’s a setting that works well for trivia, where conversation, laughter, and the occasional disagreement over an answer are all part of the evening.
Monday Night Trivia offers another reason to get together after the weekend. Bring a few friends, make an evening of dinner and drinks, and see how your team measures up against the competition.
And if you don’t finish among the top two teams? There’s always next Monday.
