Boring places and group was very scattered. Left after 2nd bar. Not much planned for us as a group...

Found a couple of great new bars to visit. Places that I would never have found myself. One with fantastic live music and dancing.

Super fun crawl! Some places didn't have enough bartenders to serve everyone in the group + the rest of the public, but the variety of venues and mix of folks attending was excellent! Didn't stay too long at any venue, and just a bit of walking between kept us from being too far gone. Will definitely be going back to some of the venues!

Unsure how one of the tour guide ( M ?) March Friday 8 is getting such great ratings on this pub crawl. It certainly is make your own entertainment. The tour guide we had was boring uninvolved and got us from every pub like herding cows. Go go go !! He says … or a text where half the time was no service . Relied on others to tell us we were leaving if they were told . The most interaction that was bubbly , was we got there initially it was a handshake before the pub Crawl started.. 2 venues were quite fun. We found some of the pub crawls , We had to wait till the end to get our drink and then buy a drink to get a free drink overall it’s definitely worth the money you pay for the free drinks . You definitely have to make your own entertainment. He does not interact with you whatsoever and might be lucky to get one photo With the Group . Would not recommend this tour .

Had a wonderful time- so well organized, yet felt organic enough that it was easy to make friends and feel like I fit in, even as a solo traveler. The bars were all so cool and definitely worth revisiting later in my trip. This was a great way to meet people and check out some unusual spots!
