Pub Crawls???

Has anyone ever been on one in the city? Was it any good?
Or can anyone name me any happing in the future?

I know they happen, but I only seem to hear of them word of mouth.

It all depends on whether you're planning one, or from a promotional point you need to build a relationship with the operators of these companies to include your destination on the tour.

If you're looking to shuttle from venue to venue yourself, say for an afterparty it's going to cost you.

When we were underage, my sister and I tried to get into Secret (now Ginger, I think...). Little did we realize that we had walked in on a university Halloween Crawl, and had no problem instantly mingling with the crowd, although we were getting frequent friendly "What's your costume?" questions. The Crawl soon left, however, and we were left behind in a rather empty club playing Daft Punk (of all things). Surprisingly, we weren't asked to leave, and stayed out the whole night as the club filled in with a typical hip-hop crowd.

Oh, wait, what was the question? Ah, right. Yeah, Crawls exist. I see postings for them all the time at campuses.

Best pub crawls are the spontaneous ones w/ just a few people (2 - 8-ish).

There's lots of neat-o li'l hideaway-kinda cocktail lounges around town that are fun to pop in and out of.

Or, did you mean JUST "pub"?

In that case, I gotta say that Johnny Fox's is _THE_ most typical UK/Irish pub in town!
Doolin's has a good beer selection, but, too Whistler-style pre-fab in the decor-dept.
Ceilih's is even worse! Same ol' Skybar, but, w' a lil more shit on the walls.
That place on the corner of Robson and Granville (can NEVER remember it's name!) isn't all that great, but, the beer selection makes it worth a visit during a crawl.
More of a bar than a pub, but, I'd squeeze in Morrisey.
Cambie is a must. Probably the starter.
While you're down there, hit up Lamplighter, as long as they're not doing cover charge.

In fact, lemme know when you're doing this, dammit! I'd love to join!

A friend of mine and I have done the Rock Crawl a few times (White Rock). I think we're getting blacklisted, though, as we tend to leave quite the, er, impression as the night wears on.


I dunno if I'd have the courage to do the Scuzz Crawl (eastside).

The Lennox.

Kingston is suspiciously absent from your list. And I'd throw in Shebeen in gastown if I thought I could actually direct anyone to it. You basically have to go through the new Irish Heather to get there.

Btw frosty, I'm guessing the type of thing Rhia's talking about would hit as many cocktail lounges as it would pubs, if not more.

^What? Are you a light-weight?

The point is 1drink/pub and hit as many as you can before last call.

Are there any other interesting Crawls in the Lower Mainland?

Kits Crawl?
Coq Crawl?
Sake Crawl? (Richmond)
Mountain-Tumble Crawl? (start as high up in North Van as you can, then work your way to the waterfront)
