16 pub quizzes in Dubai, checked: 13 are free to enter, six nights a week at 15 venues. Start times, team sizes and prizes before you turn up.
Uncover DXB lists 16 verified quiz nights across Dubai, running on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Thursday is the busiest night with 6 of them. Every listing below has been checked against the venue, with the day, the start time and the entry cost as the venue states them.
13 of the 16 are free to enter, 2 charge for a package rather than for the quiz itself, at AED 149 and AED 199, the remaining 1 do not state an entry price. Where a price appears it usually covers drinks or food alongside the trivia, so it is worth reading the offer page before you go.
Start times run from 18:00 to 20:30, with most rounds getting under way between 19:30 and 20:00. 6 of the listings run a speed quiz format and 7 pair the quiz with a bingo round. Nothing in these listings asks you to book, and several say teams form on the night, though the venues that fill up are worth arriving early for.
They are spread across the city, including Emirates Golf Club, JVC, JBR, Dubai Sports City and Dubai Science Park. Use the day links above to jump to a night, or the filters below to narrow by area.

Yes. One is listed: The Big Bang Quiz at McGettigan's Dubai Science Park in Dubai Science Park. See the Monday section on this page for times and entry.
Usually not. 13 of the 16 listed here state free entry. 2 charge instead for a package that includes food or drinks, at AED 199 and AED 149. The rest do not state an entry price, and venues make their money on the drinks rather than the door.
None of these listings require a booking. Several say teams form on the night, so turning up is enough. The busier rooms fill their good tables early, so arriving twenty minutes before the first round is worth doing at the popular venues.
Yes, though the weekend is quieter than midweek. Friday has 1 and Sunday has 2. Saturday has nothing listed. The weekend sections on this page list the venues and times.
6 of the 16 run a speed quiz, where rounds move faster than a standard pub quiz, 5 pair the trivia with music bingo and 1 add board and card games. The rest run a straight quiz. Each listing on this page says which format it uses.
The listings do not state team sizes. Several say teams form on the night, so arriving without one is normal at those venues. Ask the host when you get there and they will usually place you with a team.
Start times run from 18:00 to 20:30, and most begin between 19:30 and 20:00. Each listing on this page carries its own start and finish time.
