Ratio’s trivia is “a bigger badder more inappropriate version of trivia.” Teams of five compete against “experts” on Tuesday nights. If the “experts” win, audience’s prizes “suck,” but if the audience wins, they’ll be going home with some great prizes. Each month has a fun and unique theme (July’s is ’80s and ’90s pro wrestling). Trivia starts at around 8:30 p.m., but sign ups start at 8 p.m. Oh, and it’s free!
