Thursday Trivia - Back to the Future
2026-07-16 20:00 - 22:00 | The Forge Tavern, 1375 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH, 43220, United States
Do you know the square root of an isosceles triangle? Or how many pigs fit in a blanket? Or how many cow farts it takes to fuel a combustion engine? Well, we don’t either, but if you know some actual general knowledge trivial things and/or some cool and nerdy themed trivial things, then The Forge Tavern Trivia Night is for you.
All you need to join is a smartphone or tablet, a team (or just yourself, you plucky trivia adventurer), and the taste for some great food and drinks. We have cool trophies and prizes, so you really don’t have any excuse not to join us. Unless you’re chicken, McFly.
General Knowledge trivia starts at 8pm. The main event, Back to the Future trivia, reaches 88 mph at 9pm.
Remember! We’re serving great food and drinks, so arrive hungry (and thirsty!) and leave satisfied.
Our trivia fills up fast! A reservation can guarantee that your team gets a seat. Make your reservations now before they’re all gone! Reservations held until 8:05 pm.
There is a two drink (or food/beverage equivalent) minimum required for all trivia participants. Tickets are not refundable or transferable.
1 Ticket = 1 Table. Please purchase only one ticket for your entire group. Your ticket covers all guests up to the table size listed (e.g., one “Table for 4” covers all 4 people).

Magic & Potions
2026-07-24 20:00 - 22:00
Magic & Potions Night at The Forge Tavern
Featuring Dayne the Magician & Nicole the Scientist of Strange Brews
Where wonder meets wild experimentation, The Forge Tavern summons an evening of spectacle, sorcery, and science gone delightfully rogue.
Step into a realm where mystical magic collides with scientific potions—a night where Dayne dazzles with vaudeville‑style illusions while Nicole pushes the boundaries of chemistry, alchemy, and “please don’t try this at home” concoctions.
The Vibe
Think: a traveling wizard meets a mad scientist in a tavern, each determined to prove their craft is the superior art. The audience? Caught in the crossfire of wonder.
It’s whimsical. It’s chaotic. It’s clever. It’s Forge Tavern magic.
BONUS! – Themed drink menu full of magic!

Dungeon Crawler Carl Night at the Forge Tavern!
2026-08-21 19:00 - 23:00
Listen up Crawlers!
The dungeon will be open to new and veteran crawlers tonight! Whether you’re a longtime crawler or just curious about the hype, all are welcome.
NEW ACHIEVEMENT! –
Against all odds, you’ve chosen to face the horrors of the dungeon while in some ridiculous costume. Was it practical? No. Was it armored? Also no. But style is a weapon, and you’ve clearly come prepared for battle in your own unique way.
Objective: Enter the Dungeon Crawler Carl Costume Contest.
*note: for those dressing as Carl, we are a family friendly venue. Bike/gym shorts or some other type of modest wear under Carl boxers. No bare feet. You must wear shoes with a protective bottom. Be creative! No real weapons or explosives of any type… yeah, really!

“Side Quest”
Objective: Order a Dungeon Crawler Carl themed food item or specialty cocktail.
Reward: Temporary satisfaction, mild emotional confusion, and the comforting illusion that your choices matter.
Gather in our Safe Room, meet new crawlers and join in the fun!

The Borant Corporation has determined that allowing crawlers to entertain themselves would result in an unacceptable decrease in viewer engagement. Therefore, a professional chaos facilitator has been assigned to your floor.
Objective: Attend Dungeon Crawler Carl Night and survive an evening hosted by Robert Turk of Wicked Clever.
