A pub crawl (sometimes called a "bar tour" or bar-hopping, bender or "alcocrawl") is the act of visiting and consuming alcoholic beverages at a number of pubs in a single night with a group of friends. It's purportedly called a "crawl" because the participants are literally crawling from pub to pub after getting drunk at the first few pubs. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term (including variations like 'gin crawl' and 'beer crawl') has been in use since the late 19th century. A common reason to hold a pub crawl is celebrate the birthday of a person who reached the legal drinking age. The pubs chosen for the route can be chosen according to a theme.

  • A pub crawl (sometimes called a "bar tour" or bar-hopping, bender or "alcocrawl") is the act of visiting and consuming alcoholic beverages at a number of pubs in a single night with a group of friends. It's purportedly called a "crawl" because the participants are literally crawling from pub to pub after getting drunk at the first few pubs. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term (including variations like 'gin crawl' and 'beer crawl') has been in use since the late 19th century. A common reason to hold a pub crawl is celebrate the birthday of a person who reached the legal drinking age. The pubs chosen for the route can be chosen according to a theme. Pub crawls in suburban areas often involve the use of an automobile for transportation, due to pubs being farther apart and the lack of public transportation. This is a common situation in the United States because of its largely dispersed population, but it is by no means limited to that country. Rather than driving drunk, some pub crawlers use the designated driver system or taxis. For special occasions, such as bachelor parties, people sometimes charter a van, bus, or limousine with a professional driver for the evening. Many European cities have regular organised public pub crawls that act as social gatherings for the local expat communities and tourists. These pub crawls focus on the social aspect of meeting new friends and being introduced to new bars in a strange city. Example's of these include the FunkyParis pub crawl in Paris and the FunkyRiviera pub crawls in Nice and Cannes. Some pub crawls are organized as an annual event and may be so large that the participants do not even know all of the other people in the group. For example, it is common for Irish-American groups to have a bar tour on or around St. Patrick's Day. The group may even have t-shirts made for the occasion. Some organized pub crawls are even held for charity. Participants pay a flat fee, which allows then to enter all of the participating bars, without having to pay cover charges at each bar. The fee may also include a certain number of drinks. A portion of the proceeds is then donated to a particular charity.
