This is what a tacos-and-trivia Tuesday night should be. The field of play here is an expansive, open-air, dog-friendly beer garden where some six to 16 teams compete via the Geeks Who Drink smartphone-based pub-quiz game. The libations are heavy on craft beers, and brain food comes by way of a small corner window where Nato’s Tacos slings lovingly folded quesadillas, bountiful burritos and all manner of mouthwatering mini-tacos (the most popular of which are the potato and asado, says Fortunato “Nato” Renteria Garcia).

Even when there’s a drop in team count and temperature, quizmaster Michael McCollor can be counted on to keep the crowd warmed up with energetic banter, wry observations and bonus-round free-drink tickets. Pro tip: Even though the 20 handles of craft beer behind the bar inside are constantly in rotation, there’s usually a Bayerische Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier on tap. Start there — it’s as smooth to drink as it is hard to say.
