If you’re looking for a low‑pressure, dog‑friendly Austin outing that isn’t another big festival or fundraiser, Oddwood Brewing’s weekly Pet-Friendly Trivia Night is the city’s most overlooked winter‑into‑spring social standby.

Running every Tuesday from 7 to 9 PM through March 31, 2026, it offers a casual, repeatable way to get out of the house with your pup, your friends, or your trivia‑obsessed coworkers—without needing reservations, wristbands, or a deep commitment to competitive brainpower. You can confirm dates and taproom details directly on the Oddwood Brewing official site.

This ongoing event is hosted on Oddwood’s dog-friendly patio at their Airport and Manor Road location, a neighborhood pub known for its hoppy beers, lagers, sours, and personal thin‑crust pizzas.

Their rotating beer list of IPAs, lagers, and sours is regularly updated on Untappd’s Oddwood Brewing page, and their take‑out pizza menu gives a good sense of what to expect food‑wise during trivia. It’s also family‑friendly, which means it fills a gap that many of Austin’s nighttime activities leave out: a space where dogs, kids, and adults can all coexist without feeling out of place—similar to some of the spots highlighted in Inside Austin’s New Family & Dog‑Friendly Restaurants: The Insider Guide to Fall 2025’s Best Casual Openings.

ESSENTIAL DETAILS

Pro Tip

Stack weekday happy hour (3–5 PM) with the 7–9 PM trivia slot for a budget‑friendly East Austin night that still feels like a full evening out.

WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT DIFFERENT
Most Austin dog-friendly outings are one-off happenings, large-scale meetups, or seasonal pop-ups, like the fundraiser‑style circuit covered in Inside Austin’s First Pup-Crawl: The Insider Guide to the 2026 Multi‑Park Dog Adventure & Fundraiser. Oddwood’s trivia night stands out because it creates a weekly rhythm. Regulars return because it’s accessible, affordable, repeatable, and relaxed—no pressure to be the smartest in the room, and no worrying about your dog navigating crowds of thousands.

INSIDER INTELLIGENCE
• Arrive by 6:30 PM if you want a guaranteed patio table; teams grow quickly once the workday ends.
• Oddwood doesn’t take reservations, so groups larger than six should email them directly to check space availability using the contacts listed on their info & events page.
• The patio tends to be calmer during the first hour; if your dog is shy, this is the window that feels safest.
• King Trivia often includes picture rounds and pop‑culture themes—first‑timers usually perform better than they expect, and upcoming themed nights are posted on the King Trivia event listings.
• Parking along Manor fills fast; Airport is your better bet for nearby street parking, and it’s worth keeping broader city parking changes in mind, like those covered in Inside Austin’s New Curb Management Survey: The Insider Guide to the Parking & Sidewalk Changes Coming in 2026.

Pro Tip

Smaller, dog‑heavy groups tend to grab patio tables right after work—arriving by 6:30 PM usually keeps you out of “standing room only” territory.

Note

Shy or noise‑sensitive dogs (or kids) usually do best during the first trivia hour, when the patio is calmer and teams are still settling in.

Heads Up

Parking along Manor Road can be tight on trivia nights; budget extra time to circle Airport Boulevard side streets and always check for residential or time‑limited parking signs.

If you want to turn trivia into a bigger night out, you can pair an early‑evening patio hang with a late‑night show like the one in Inside Hayden James at The Concourse Project: Austin’s Post‑Holiday Dance Night Everyone Will Be Talking About, or build a full East Austin day that starts with art and nature via Inside Laguna Gloria: The Insider’s Guide to Austin’s Hidden Lakeside Art Escape and ends with pizza, pints, and trivia.

Room to Improve

The Verdict
4.5
A relaxed, repeatable East Austin trivia night that’s perfect for dog owners and casual quiz fans who want real community vibes without the chaos of a big festival or fundraiser.

Oddwood’s trivia nights are a reminder that Austin’s best community spaces aren’t always the splashy ones. Sometimes it’s just a patio, a pint, your dog, and two hours of good‑natured competition—exactly the kind of low‑key tradition that balances out the city’s big‑ticket experiences like those in Inside Austin’s Trail of Lights at 60: The Insider Guide to the City’s Oldest Holiday Tradition.
