July’s Office Pub Quiz

In: Events, The Office Pub

Still Kota Kinabalu’s one and only pub quiz, the Office Pub KK pub quiz takes place every Wednesday night.

Grab a bunch of knowledgeable mates, come up with an outrageous team name (the only requirement to join) and win yourself a quiz round.

Every round has a winner (or two or three) and every winner gets a prize. Top scorers walk away with a bucket of beer while consolation prizes are often awarded to the near-winners.

The Office Pub KK pub quiz is an exciting twist to your midweek night out in Kota Kinabalu.  If your quiz skills needs sharpening, then Happy Hour, shot specials and the best cheese-and-onion sandwiches in East Malaysia will inspire you to pub quiz greatness.

Take up the pub quiz challenge, every Wednesday from 9pm onwards, only at The Office Pub KK.

Uncle Boy, Office Pub Ambasador and perveyor of fine tequila, adds: “I’d like to ad that the weekly pub quiz also offers ‘Wing for U’, a chicken wing promo with wings @ RM1 each. Now everyone can wing it.

Then the lasted 6-piece band, The Office Executives, features live music and your favourite songs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9.30pm. Also look out for Neil, golf pro by day and sing-along-super-star by night, doing his rendition of Kadazan song ‘tinggi tinggi’.  Be amused, be very amused.”
