What to expect
You'll meet your host and group at Pilgrim Bar at 9 PM sharp, then move through five carefully selected bars over the next few hours, finishing at Hive nightclub. At each stop you'll have time to drink (using the included deals where available) and socialise with other crawlers. Complimentary shots are provided at select venues as you go, alongside live music and DJ sets that keep the vibe moving.
The pace is social rather than rushed — you're given enough time at each bar to settle in, but not so long that momentum drops. Professional photos capture moments throughout the night. The crowd is deliberately mixed, welcoming solo travellers and groups equally. The night winds up at Hive, the district's main nightclub, where you can keep going or call it done.

Good to know
This crawl suits anyone after a structured, sociable night in Edinburgh's nightlife without the faff of plotting bar hops alone — especially solo travellers who want instant company. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. All other fitness levels are fine. Note: only the listed complimentary shots are free; all other drinks come out of pocket, even with the deal pricing. Entry to all venues is covered (£15 for the lot is mainly the convenience and host). Arrive exactly on time — latecomers risk missing the group. Shots depend on venue stock, so don't bank on all five. Public transport is nearby if needed at the end of the night.
