TRIVIA THURSDAY'S
URBAN ALLEY BREWERY
Thursday nights at Urban Alley are for proving the group chat wrong. Quiz Meisters trivia kicks off at 6:30PM at Docklands’ own brewery — book a table, order the $28 steak, keep a house-brewed beer in reach and argue your way through the music round. Win or lose, trivia players park free: just show our Instagram post or this page to Urban Alley staff when you arrive.
ABOUT THE VENUE
Urban Alley Brewery is Docklands' own — a working craft brewery at The District where the beer travels metres, not miles, from tank to glass. Settle in for pub classics done properly (the parmas and steaks have weeknight deals of their own), catch live sport, or head up to the rooftop bar when the harbour turns it on. It's the local for people who don't technically live here — easy for a quick pint, dangerous for "just one more".
Quiz Meisters trivia runs Thursdays from 6:30PM at Urban Alley Brewery, The District Docklands. $28 steak night available Thursdays. Free parking available at East or West Car Park for trivia attendees only (dining specials alone do not qualify), while daily passes last;. See full terms – click here to read full T&Cs.
