Almost always. Most weekly bar trivia is free to play, and you're expected to order food or drinks. Prizes are usually bar tabs or gift cards. A few special events have a one-drink minimum.
Most NYC bar trivia caps teams at around six players, but it varies by host, so check with the bar. You can also play as a pair or solo.
NYC Trivia League is the biggest host, running about 150 of the weekly nights listed here. Other hosts include TriviaNYC, 123 Trivia, Trivial Dispute, Lit Up Trivia, Good Question Trivia and Geeks Who Drink, and many bars run their own quiz.
It depends on the host. Many games, including every NYC Trivia League night, are played on your phone. Others are classic pen-and-paper pub quizzes. Use the Pen & paper filter to find those.
