Trivia Night at Midtown Crossing

Looking for a night of fun, laughter, and maybe a little friendly competition? Look no further than Trivia Night at Midtown Crossing, in partnership with Spielbound! Bring your brainiest friends and enjoy a night of trivia right here in midtown Omaha. Topics run from Halloween to board games, pizza to current events – and everything in between. You’ll be entertained and maybe even learn a thing or two! 

The best part? It’s all happening at Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom, where you can enjoy a warm, delicious pizza hot out of the oven and grab a drink from the iconic Tap Wall. Nothing pairs better with trivia than some wood-fired goodness and a cool beverage. It’s the perfect way to spend a cozy fall evening with great company, great food, and an unbeatable view of Turner Park. 

So gather your crew (teams of all size welcome!), bring your A-game, and get ready for an unforgettable night of trivia, food, and fun!
