Lovers of music trivia show their stuff at the now-shuttered Bleeding Deacon.

For St. Louisans dismayed at the season break of their favorite television shows and the ennui that traditionally accompanies it, some other brand of affordable evening entertainment is clearly in order. Luckily, our fair city is awash in opportunities to show off all that otherwise useless knowledge crowding up your cranium.

As a service to those who've recently found themselves sitting around, staring at the walls, we've created a list of more than 40 trivia nights in and around the city to keep you entertained pretty much any night of the week, regardless what part of town you happen to be in.

Our list follows. Did we miss something good? Let us know in the comments section.
