Tuesday Quiz

Pub quiz done right: £2 entry, teams up to six, actual prizes (bar tab for winners, bottle of wine for best team name). Atmosphere stays competitive without turning hostile, which is the mark of a solid quiz night.

Golden question at the end of each round keeps everyone sharp all the way through. If nobody gets it, prize rolls over week to week, building until someone finally cracks it. That's the bit where stakes feel real.
