West Suburban Irish Quiz Night is set for almost-monthly trivia nights and then some

-

Above / WSI Quiz Nights are held at Quigley’s Irish Pub where the sign says “Home of West Suburban Irish” right by the front door. 

UPDATE, Oct. 3 / After a one-month respite, WSI Quiz Night returns at 7PM on Tues., Oct. 3, as well as on the first Tuesday of the month through next June 2018.

The four categories for the October 2017 Quiz include: Eye Patch, Sci Fi, Chi-Town Legend and Real or Imagined.

UPDATE, After WSI Quiz Night / The top three teams to place among 21 teams on May 2 were Every Day at Quigley’s (EDAQ) in first place, Our Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem in second, and Noah’s Ark in a run-off for third.

Plan now to put a team together for the annual championship on June 6. Note! No experience is necessary. New teams are welcome. In fact, according to WSI President Chuck Corrigan, a new team has just as much chance to win the championship trophy as teams organized by the Abes and Genslers that have been playing Quiz Nights since they began at Quigley’s 11 years ago.


Original Post / Now midway through in its 11th year of trivial pursuits, the West Suburban Irish will host its monthly Quiz Night at Quigley’s Irish Pub beginning at 7PM Tues., May 2, 2017.

Then next month, team up to begin again, as Michael Finnegan would say, at 7PM Tues., June 6; when teams compete for the championship.

Quiz Night takes an Independence Day break in July, then returns on Aug. 1.

Test your knowledge and win some silly prizes. Come up with a distinctive and timely name for your team. Test your competitive spirit, too! Cheers!

Above / Regulars at Quigley’s Irish Pub team up every month with many winning score sheets.

According to Chuck Corrigan, president of the spirited, fun-loving group known for organizing the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Naperville, the West Suburban Irish host the pub quiz, a common form of entertainment in Irish pubs, and a great evening out with friends.

7PM first Tuesday 10 months a year!

Every year Corrigan reminds the loyal teams that attend Quiz Nights regularly that in order not to compete with Ribfest or the Last Fling, Quiz Nights usually take off in the months of July and September. For ten months of the year, Quiz Nights usually fall on the first Tuesday of the month at Quigley’s.

The website also is where you’ll find monthly Quiz Night categories. For May 2, categories are Hello, Nurse!, First 100 Days, Memorials and Pop Culture.

The web bonus question asks, “What were the first names of the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister) in the cartoon, Animaniacs?”

Quigley’s Irish Pub is located at 43 E. Jefferson Avenue in downtown Naperville.
