Librarians know trivia—Do you? Grab some friends and join us for some nerdy bar trivia with the San Diego Public Library! Put your knowledge of random factoids to the test and compete for prizes that go beyond mere bragging rights while enjoying the food, drinks, and cozy atmosphere of Storyhouse Spirits. The bar is located just across the street from the Central Library, and we will be on the second floor. October's trivia will be especially spooky-themed, so prepare for a ghoulishly good time as we test you on anything and everything Halloween related. No tricks, and we promise you'll be in for a treat - or maybe a trophy! Parking: Some street parking is available downtown, but we recommend utilizing San Diego Central Library's parking garage, located on 11th Ave. Parking at the garage is free for 2 hours, with validation within the library. If you plan to use the garage, please remember to get your parking validated inside the library before walking to Storyhouse Spirits. The library will be closed by the time we finish! We are also just a block down from the Park & Market trolley stop. Please see here for parking fee and transportation information.
