Located in Northern Liberties, the Blind Pig is a great spot for quizzo. With Tom Asher hosting, the bar is always packed. With a combination of difficult questions and a wide craft beer selection is a great way to spend a Monday night. This quizzo is very hard with questions from geography to dated pop culture. Each round gets harder.
