What to expect
You'll meet your group and hosts around 10PM and head straight into the first of three bars at their busiest point. Each stop is designed for a social, energetic atmosphere where you'll collect your free shots and take advantage of negotiated drink discounts. The hosts keep momentum and conversation flowing between venues, introducing people and building group cohesion as the night progresses.
After the third bar, you'll head to a popular nightclub where you'll skip the entry queue with your VIP pass and either wrap up or continue the night independently. The whole experience runs for approximately 3 hours, finishing around 1AM.

Good to know
This crawl suits late arrivals, night owls, and travellers after a high-energy social night without a slow start. It's not recommended for pregnant travellers. The pace is social rather than demanding — it's walking between venues at a normal pace with stops of 30–45 minutes at each bar. Expect loud venues, peak-time crowds, and a party atmosphere. Drink prices beyond the free shots and deals aren't covered, so budget for additional purchases. Groups are mixed (tourists, students, locals) so expect variability in crowd dynamics. Public transport is nearby if you need an alternative way home.
