The competition is friendly but spirited, with participants eagerly huddling around tables, whispering answers, and occasionally celebrating a particularly clever response with high-fives all around.

Mark your calendars for Thursday nights at Rose’s by the Stairs Brewing, where the trivia action kicks off promptly at 7 PM. The organizers strongly recommend arriving by 6:30 PM to ensure your team has ample time to get settled before the showdown begins. This extra half-hour gives you the perfect opportunity to order your beverages of choice, strategize with your teammates, and claim the ideal spot with good visibility of the trivia host. As regular attendees will tell you, the prime tables fill up quickly on trivia nights!
The format typically includes several rounds of questions spanning a wide range of topics, from pop culture and sports to history and science, ensuring there’s something for every knowledge base. Teams usually range from two to six people, making this an ideal activity whether you’re on a date night or gathering with a larger group of friends. The competitive yet casual atmosphere strikes just the right balance – challenging enough to keep your brain engaged but relaxed enough that you’ll be planning your return visit before the final scores are even tallied.
Rose’s by the Stairs Brewing sits at the intersection of 5th Avenue and McDowell Road in Central Phoenix, making it a convenient meeting point for residents throughout the Ahwatukee area. The brewery prides itself on offering something for everyone, with an impressive selection of craft beers for the hop enthusiasts alongside quality non-alcoholic options for designated drivers or those who simply prefer to keep their wits extra sharp for trivia success. The comfortable, unpretentious setting features communal tables that naturally encourage conversation and camaraderie among neighbors.
True to their community-focused philosophy, Rose’s operates with a BYOF (Bring Your Own Food) policy, adding flexibility to your trivia night experience. While they do offer some in-house snacking options – including locally sourced flavored popcorn from Poppies and vegetarian crab chips from Utz – patrons are welcome to bring in meals from nearby restaurants. Many trivia regulars make a tradition of picking up their favorite takeout on the way to the brewery. In contrast, others take advantage of the walk-over delivery services from neighboring eateries (with menus conveniently provided at Rose’s). Some nights, you might even find a food truck parked outside, adding another dining option to fuel your trivia performance.
