Wichita Buffalo Wild Wings named 'Smartest Bar in North America'

September 3, 2013

Buffalo Wild Wings North Rock in Wichita, Kan., will now be known for more than wings, beer and sports. After outscoring 3,300 other bars across U.S. and Canada in bar trivia, the sports bar is now the "Smartest Bar in North America."

After surviving multiple rounds since April in Buzztime's 2013 Smartest Bar competition, B-Dubs trailed only two-time defending champion The Mezzanine Lounge in Houston, Texas, heading into the championship round. And this past Monday, after the one-hour final, its top five players' average scores proved to be the best of the best against the 75 other remaining finalists, including the heavily favored reigning champ, according to Buzztime, a bar and restaurant entertainment platform that hosts the contest.

To determine the Smartest Bar, Buzztime challenges its network of thousands of bar and restaurant customers in the U.S. and Canada to compete head-to-head answering sports, art, history and pop culture bar trivia questions.

"Buffalo Wild Wings North Rock did the unthinkable this year in knocking off The Mezzanine Lounge, which has owned this competition since it started. B-Dubs in Wichita shined under pressure and for the next year will be known as the Smartest Bar in North America," said Buzztime's chief marketing officer, Barry Chandler. "Buzztime's Smartest Bar competition gets better every year and this year's final round was the best and most exciting ever. What started as a modest competition has turned into a North American phenomenon in just three years."

Buffalo Wild Wings North Rock will receive a championship trophy, banner and $500 in cash for winning the title of Buzztime's Smartest Bar.
