Maovember's Pub Quiz at Q-Mex Bar & Grill

Certainly not the soberest event on this week's list, abstain from drinking and take part in Maovember's fifth annual pub quiz all in the name of charity. The optional RMB 100 entry fee to the quiz, presented in English and Chinese, includes two pitchers of Carlsberg (give those to your drinking buddy) and goes to this year's chosen charity: The Bread of Life. There will also be a charity auction and other drinks deals. The action starts at 9pm but the organizers suggest you get there early to bag a seat.


9pm. RMB 100 (optional). Q Mex Bar & Grill
