The Iona Bar on Easter Road is one of Edinburgh’s well-loved local pubs — a proper neighbourhood bar in one of the city’s most characterful areas, just a short walk from Easter Road Stadium. Premier SpeedQuizzing has built a loyal and competitive quiz crowd here, with regulars who take the leaderboard seriously and know how to enjoy a great night out.
About the night
The Iona Bar quiz night is exactly the kind of local quiz night that keeps people coming back every other week. The SpeedQuizzing format keeps things moving — live scoring on screen, music rounds, picture rounds, and games that get the whole pub involved. Every team answers on their own device, so there’s no waiting around and no paper to mark. The banter is good, the competition is real, and the atmosphere is everything you want from a local pub quiz.
About Iona Bar
The Iona Bar is located on Easter Road in Edinburgh’s Leith area, in the heart of a neighbourhood with a strong community feel. It’s the kind of pub that’s been part of the local fabric for years — friendly staff, a good selection of drinks, and the kind of welcoming atmosphere that makes new arrivals feel like regulars within a few weeks.
