Leave the smartphones in your pocket — on Friday 30th October, The Anchor hosts the inaugural Anchor Pen and Paper Quiz in The Galway Room (our Maroon and White small function room)!
In an era of app-based quizzes and screen-heavy bars, we’re keeping it strictly old-school: real paper answer sheets, biros on the tables, and a proper classic pub quiz atmosphere in our newly upholstered back room, ‘The Galway Room’.
Led from 7:00 PM by The Anchor’s own landlord Peter Connolly alongside Paul Beirne, it’s free entry for locals, regulars, and newcomers alike to test their trivia knowledge over pints and cobs.
