The Kenton: Pub in Hackney, London

The Kenton leans on the pub quiz, and that is the heart of the place. You bring a team, grab a seat, and a quizmaster takes the room through the rounds. The format suits people who like to argue over an answer, and people who just want an easy night out. You don't need to know everything. You do need one friend who knows which band released that song. It is listed under art, so the programme can stretch beyond the quiz. The events below show what's on the calendar. Go with a team, a rough idea of who knows what, and a willingness to lose gracefully.
