A pub crawl, also known as a bar crawl, bar tour, or bar-hopping, is an activity that involves visiting multiple pubs or bars in a single session. It is a social gathering that brings together people from all over the world, including locals, tourists, and expats. Pub crawls are popular in many European cities, and they are often organized by tour companies or event organizers. In the UK, pub crawls are generally spontaneous nights out where participants arrange to meet somewhere and decide over drinks where to drink next. Structured routes with regular stops are rare, and most pub crawls are based around special occasions such as birthdays or leaving celebrations.

During a pub crawl, participants move from one bar to another, having a drink at each place with a big group of people. Pub crawls usually involve visiting four or five venues, including bars and nightclubs. The best part of a pub crawl is that you get free entries to all the bars, pubs, and clubs you visit, and youll also get free shots everywhere you go. Pub crawls are a great way to meet new people, try out new bars and nightlife scenes, and celebrate your favorite themes and holidays.

To join a pub crawl, you need to book tickets in advance and arrive at the meeting point and time. Once you arrive, youll be greeted by the pub crawl staff, who will give you a run-down of how the night is going to go. Youll also be given a wristband or ticket that youll need to keep with you all night as proof that youre with the bar crawl tour group. Throughout the night, many pub crawls also organize fun games and activities to keep the party going.
