Why Trivia at Wang Chung’s Is the Real Gay Gold Standard

Tonight, we hit a milestone that deserves sequins, shots, and maybe a ceremonial “final answer” — it’s the 50th trivia night at Wang Chung’s, and honestly? It’s been two years of brainy brilliance, wild guesses, dramatic tiebreakers, and queer chaos in the best way.

FIFTY TRIVIA NIGHTS means 50 rounds of “Wait, what French queen was born in Austria?” or “What’s the actual name of the volcano we all just call Diamond Head?” It means arguing over spelling, side-eying that one guy who always writes in all caps, and cheering on teams with names like Sashay You Stay-at-Home Moms and Quizteama Aguilera.

Let’s be real — it hasn’t always been this good.—10 years ago our trivia started at a different bar that’s a shadow of its former self. And yes, we said what we said.

Meanwhile, Wang Chung’s has been glowing up, not slowing down. Trivia here feels like community — silly, loud, smart, ridiculous community. A place where a good Beyoncé lyric knowledge can win you gift cards and eternal respect. A place where no one’s allowed to be boring.

So tonight, whether you’re playing to win, vibe, flirt, or just yell out the word “sloth” during an animal round — thank you for showing up. Here’s to the next 50, the next two years, and all the beautifully weird questions along the way.
