The best and most popular way to sample an assortment of liquors from beers, whiskeys, tequila, and craft spirits in the most exciting way, is through bar crawls. This type of social event creates an opportunity in different aspects, be it from the brand side, the venue, and for the experience of all the attendees.
Take St. Patrick's Day for example. From what was once only celebrated in Ireland every March, this festivity is now celebrated globally – from parades, non-stop dancing, Irish food, and last but not least, St Patrick's Day bar crawls. Before organizing your next holiday bar crawl, we’ve listed some top bar crawl ideas which may pique your interest. Read along!

This era was exciting and fashionable. As you can imagine this idea would not be complete without playing music from the glory days! Bars can even set up some arcade games to be consistent with the theme! How exciting, right?!
Banana Pub Crawls
