Gooses Quiz At Slàinte Mhath

Goose's Quizzes are running their weekly trivia night at Slàinte Mhath on Monday 2 November, one of many sessions they've got lined up across the city. It's a free entry, so you just need to turn up with a team and you're in. The Goose Quizzes team describes it as a fun-packed weekly session, and it's exactly that: a proper pub quiz where the whole point is to get a group together and see how your combined knowledge holds up against the rest of the room.

The prizes are where it gets a bit random. The winning team takes home a £50 bar tab, which is the main draw, but there's a whole range of other things up for grabs too. You might walk away with a house plant, a book, or some stationery; you could end up with sports equipment, a board game, or even the occasional hoover. It's that mix of the practical and the completely unexpected that keeps it from feeling like just another quiz.

Slàinte Mhath is a modern Scottish late bar in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, and the name comes from the traditional Scottish Gaelic toast meaning 'good health'. Their motto, 'Ceol, Craic, Chaos' — music, good times, and chaos — pretty much sums up the vibe. It's not just the quiz, either: the venue runs karaoke, live music every Thursday, and resident DJ Cheese on Pop & Charts sessions on Fridays and Saturdays, so it's a spot that stays busy well into the week.

The quiz kicks off at 7pm on Mondays, and it's free to enter, so there's no risk if you're just fancying a night out with friends. You'll find them at 143 Cowgate, EH1 1JS.
