Whether you’re a local or visiting, this crawl will leave you saying, “That was pure dead brilliant!”
A wee bit o’ history
Since 2013, the Edinburgh Pub Crawl has been bringing people together for nights filled with laughter, dancing, and plenty of craic (that’s fun, for the uninitiated). The Edinburgh Pub Crawl has become a significant event for both visitors and locals, garnering five-star reviews and a global following. Trust us, this is not your average bar hop—it’s a night to remember!
What’s the script?
You’ll start your evening at Jake’s Place, located at 9 Market Street (EH1 1DE), and from there, the party only gets better. With seven bars, five shots, one cocktail, a Jägerbomb, and VIP club entry, this night delivers more excitement than a wild ceilidh dance. And for just £7, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bar. Discounted drinks? Aye, that too!
But it’s not just about the bevvy. Expect hilarious drinking games, the chance to meet folk from all over the world, and plenty of shenanigans that’ll make your Instagram followers jealThe guides: Founder Justin Davis and his team are highly entertaining.streets are part of the route!)
