There are lots of reasons we chose to move to Kennebunk. I never realized that being close to dozens of trivia opportunities would end up being one of the benefits.
That’s because once I started looking for pub quizzes and the like near my Kennebunk house, I was shocked to find so many offerings.
In fact, Southern Maine has a ton of trivia night opportunities. Truth be told, most of them are in Portland, but that’s no surprise. There’s always a lot going on in Portland. However, this article is focusing on trivia night options in Kennebunk.
Kennebunk trivia night and pub quizzes
Here is an alphabetical listing of the places you can go in Kennebunk for trivia night and pub quizzes. Note: When I first wrote this article, I’d included Allison’s in Kennebunkport and Federal Jack’s in the Lower Village. Neither appears to offer trivia anymore. However, if they start up again, I will update this article to reflect those changes.
Duffy’s Tavern and Grill
Every Thursday is trivia at Duffy’s Tavern and Grill. Trivia starts at 7 p.m. and usually wraps up by 9 p.m.
Because Duffy’s is also a restaurant and bar — and they don’t take reservations — I recommend getting there early so you’ll have somewhere to sit during trivia. One time we arrived close to the 7 p.m. start and there were literally no seats left in the place.
This trivia game is run by Raise the Bar Trivia. Duffy’s is located at 4 Main Street, Kennebunk. Also, in the past year, Duffy’s has renovated the restaurant and its menu, both for the better. So if it’s been some time since you visited, definitely head back to Duffy’s.
Garden Street Bowl
Tuesday is trivia night at the Garden Street Bowl. Trivia starts at 7 p.m. It can be challenging to hear the trivia jockeys outside the bar area as you also have restaurant noise and, well, bowling alley noise. Trivia prizes include free bowling.
If you somehow can’t make it on a Tuesday, definitely visit Garden Street for its food in the Crotux menu. It’s delicious.
Garden Street Bowl is at 11 Garden Street, Kennebunk.
Kennebunk Free Library
Trivia night at the Kennebunk Free Library is always the third Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. You can come on your own, with a friend or with a whole team.
My husband and I have gone a few times, always as a team of two. We had a blast answering questions ranging from the TV show “Hogan’s Heroes” to whose heads are on which U.S. coins.
Finally, there are always light refreshments to keep your brain power going.
The Kennebunk Free Library is at 112 Main Street, Kennebunk.
Find out the weird and wonderful things you can borrow from this and other libraries as part of your library card benefits.
Sebago Brewing Company BrewPub
Monday nights are trivia nights at Sebago Brewing Company Brew Pub in Kennebunk. The pub quiz starts at 6 p.m. and usually wraps up by 8 p.m. This trivia game is also run by Raise the Bar Trivia.
Sebago Brewing Company is located at 65 Portland Road, Kennebunk, at the entrance to the Hannaford shopping center.
Final thoughts on Kennebunk trivia nights
Like I said at the top of this article, there used to be more places in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport that had regular trivia nights. If you know of any we haven’t included, please post a comment so we can check them out and then update this article.
