Start times mostly fall between **6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.**, and *same-day schedule checks* matter because some dates shift by season. Here’s the short version: - [**Local Cantina Greenway Station**](https://www.localcantina.com/happenings/triviagreenwaystation?ref=sowal.co) \- Monday, **7:00 p.m.**, Santa Rosa Beach, tacos and tequila - [**Beach Camp Brewpub Grayton Beach**](https://www.beachcampbeer.com/?ref=sowal.co) \- **closed**, no longer an option - **Shades Bar & Grill** \- Tuesday, **6:00 p.m.**, Inlet Beach, sports-bar feel - **Beach & Brew on 30A** \- usually every other Wednesday, around **7:00 p.m.**, Seacrest, taproom setup - [**The Big Chill 30A**](https://thebigchill.com/?ref=sowal.co) \- usually **6:00–8:00 p.m.**, family game night, bring a phone or tablet If I were choosing by group type, I’d keep it simple: **adults** may lean toward Local Cantina or Shades, while **families** may have an easier time at The Big Chill or Beach & Brew. ![30A Trivia Nights Compared: Best Picks by Night, Vibe & Group Type](https://assets.seobotai.com/undefined/6a7049182f6aeb480bfec794-1785751483998.jpg) 30A Trivia Nights Compared: Best Picks by Night, Vibe & Group Type ## Quick Comparison | Venue | Area | Usual Day | Usual Time | Best For | Notes | | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------- | | Local Cantina Greenway Station | Santa Rosa Beach | Monday | 7:00 p.m. | Adults, mixed groups | Gift cards for top teams | | Beach Camp Brewpub Grayton Beach | Grayton Beach | \- | \- | \- | Closed March 14, 2026 | | Shades Bar & Grill | Inlet Beach | Tuesday | 6:00 p.m. | Adults, sports-bar fans | No reservations | | Beach & Brew on 30A | Seacrest | Every other Wednesday | Around 7:00 p.m. | All ages | Beer-focused, limited food | | The Big Chill 30A | [Prominence](https://www.rcamflorida.com/prominence-property-owners?ref=sowal.co) / [Watersound](https://watersound.com/?ref=sowal.co) area | Varies by season | 6:00–8:00 p.m. | Families | Bring a phone or tablet | That’s the full picture in one glance: **4 current picks, 1 closed venue, and most games starting in the early evening.** ###### sbb-itb-d06eda6 ## 1\. [Local Cantina Greenway Station](https://www.localcantina.com/happenings/triviagreenwaystation?ref=sowal.co) ![Local Cantina Greenway Station](https://assets.seobotai.com/sowal.co/6a7049182f6aeb480bfec794/44611b4ecdf33fa98e10f2a3246ccccd.jpg) First on the Monday-night lineup, **Local Cantina Greenway Station** sits at 4749 E County Hwy 30A, Suite 103, in Santa Rosa Beach. Every **Monday at 7:00 PM**, the restaurant hosts **"Tacos, Tequila & Trivia"** with [**Super Good Trivia**](https://www.supergoodtrivia.com/?ref=sowal.co). The format blends general knowledge with pop-culture questions, so you can expect a little bit of everything. It’s smart to show up 15–30 minutes early if you want time to grab a table and sign up without a rush. The setting is relaxed and family-friendly, which makes it an easy pick if you want something low-pressure on a Monday night. On the food and drink side, expect tacos, chips and queso, nachos, margaritas, and tequila cocktails. Top-three teams win gift cards, so there’s a nice little bonus if your group does well. For a beer-forward trivia night, the next stop shifts west to Grayton Beach. ## 2\. [Beach Camp Brewpub Grayton Beach](https://www.beachcampbeer.com/?ref=sowal.co) ![Beach Camp Brewpub Grayton Beach](https://assets.seobotai.com/sowal.co/6a7049182f6aeb480bfec794/ff695982dcb4f6bef8ad2234082a819e.jpg) Beach Camp Brewpub's Grayton Beach location at 170 E County Hwy 30A in Grayton Beach closed on March 14, 2026. Before it closed, the venue hosted trivia every Thursday from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The setup was casual and open to all ages, with indoor seating, a bar, and a shaded patio. For groups that wanted dinner, drinks, and trivia in one place, it checked a lot of boxes. That said, it is no longer operating. ## 3\. Shades Bar & Grill Inlet Beach From Grayton Beach, the trivia trail keeps moving east to Inlet Beach. **Shades Bar & Grill** is at **10952 E County Hwy 30A, Inlet Beach**, right at the eastern end of 30A. The spot is open every day for lunch, dinner, and late-night drinks. **Trivia night happens every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.** It uses a team trivia setup, and winners get prizes. Shades also **doesn't take reservations**, so getting there early is the smart move. The feel is casual and very much sports-bar territory. Think bar food, wings, and local beer. There’s also a happy hour **Monday through Friday from 3:00–5:00 p.m.** ## 4\. Beach & Brew on 30A If you want a more taproom-style trivia stop, **Beach & Brew on 30A** is a relaxed pick. You’ll find it at **10343 E. County Hwy. 30A, Unit F-110 in Seacrest Beach**. This spot feels like a casual craft beer hangout, not a full-service restaurant. That’s part of the appeal. Kids and dogs are welcome too, which makes it one of the more family- and pet-friendly trivia stops along 30A. On the drinks side, Beach & Brew serves around **30 rotating taps**, plus wine, craft soda, and root beer. There’s no full food menu, so guests usually bring in food from nearby places. Trivia is free to join, which is always nice. The catch? Seating can fill up fast, especially during busy vacation weeks, so it’s smart to get there early. Trivia dates can shift, so check Beach & Brew’s events page or social channels before heading over. From here, the list heads to another family-friendly option at The Big Chill 30A. ## 5\.

You'll find it in the **Prominence** development on **Scenic Highway 30A**, between **Watersound** and [**Alys Beach**](https://alysbeach.com/?ref=sowal.co). Here’s the basic setup for the weekly game night. **Family Game Night: TRIVIA** usually runs from **6:00 to 8:00 p.m.** in the covered, heated pavilion. To join in, bring a phone or tablet. The Big Chill works as a multi-vendor food hall, so your group has plenty of options in one place. Food choices include burgers, barbecue, tacos, pizza, and dessert. Kids' meals are available for about **$9.50**. On the drinks side, you’ll find draft beer, specialty cocktails, mocktails, buckets of beer, and fountain drinks. Trivia comes with prizes, which adds a little extra fun. The day can shift with the season, so it’s smart to check **The Big Chill** events calendar before you go.
