One thing we all need right now? The pub. Since lockdown started, we’ve been deprived of freshly-poured pints, sharing platters and the welcoming buzz of a favourite local. Of course, these establishments house quintessential nights out... the beloved pub quiz and bingo night. If you feel you’ve been robbed of the chance to put all your hours of watching Pointless to good use (same tbh) or just miss being able to crack out the dabbers, fret no more. These heroes have gone digital. So set up your Zoom, log into Instagram and enter into those Facebook chats, we’re about to get quizzical.
