Let’s play trivia at the Burren

Important If at least 3 people have not RSVPd at some arbitrary time the day before the event, the event MAY be canceled. If you plan to attend please RSVP early

Please read information about Flu prevention at the end of the description.

The Burren is an Irish Pub in Davis Square. It has an excellent beer selection, better food than most Irish pubs, and great vegetarian & vegan options! Your diversity of knowledge will enable an enjoyable evening for all. As we play trivia this diversity also makes for fun and interesting conversations.

Trivia scoring is wireless; answer slips are so 2010s! It is helpful to take notes of upcoming categories; both to discuss answers with team members and also to decide how many points to bet. Some people prefer to use the notepad on their phone; some people prefer to use pen & paper; bring your choice. Please arrive by 7:15 to eat, drink, and socialize; we might not be able to hold a seat after that. The Burren will not give us individual checks so please be prepared to pay by Zelle, PayPal, CashApp, or cash; not Venmo. If your plans change please update your RSVP. It is both difficult and socially awkward to try to hold seats for people who may or may not materialize. Have fun putting your random knowledge to work!

Trivia: A restaurant menu is usually the dirtiest thing in a restaurant. Please wash your hands after ordering. It’s good practice to do that even if you don’t use the plastic menu.

For those driving, if there are no meters in front, try the municipal lot on Holland St. or further up Holland Street.

CDC has designated 2025-2026 the most severe flu season since 2017-2018. Please get a flu shot two weeks before attending any event. Also because we may be handing each others phones, before trivia, please go to the restroom and wash your hands. If you handle a plastic menu please wash after that.
To give unvaccinated people time to get vaccinated the two week flu vaccine requirement will roll out. For our January 12 event you must be vaccinated; for our January 19 event you must be vaccinated at least one week before the event.
