Witts invites you to come in and celebrate on Wednesdays once that hump day is over and you’ve made it through the halfway point of the work week. Their trivia night starts at 8 p.m. with wacky and unusual questions. So grab a team of 2-6 people and see if your random knowledge is worth anything. Round winners receive free shots.
