Thursdays (check current schedule) around 7pm, Hops and Sessions hosts trivia night in Livermore. The bar is at 2282 First Street, downtown Livermore — street parking on First is usually findable on weeknights, or walk from the Livermore ACE station about 10 minutes south. No cover reported; expect to buy a drink.

A Reddit user going by Peng put out an open call for trivia teammates, which means there's at least one person there who doesn't already have a locked-in crew. Hops and Sessions runs a solid tap list with a heavy local and regional focus — this isn't a chain sports bar situation. Trivia formats vary by host, but most Livermore nights run team-based with general knowledge rounds.

Practical note: ACE trains run limited schedules, so check the return trip before you go. Last eastbound BART to Livermore BART station (Dublin/Pleasanton) runs late enough for a 7pm start, but if you're coming from SF proper, budget 75–90 minutes each way.

With two hours, I'd arrive at 7, grab a seat near the bar so you can hear the host clearly, and introduce yourself to Peng before the first round starts.
