Tour Itinerary
The Backpacker Pubcrawl
The Backpacker Pubcrawl is a recreational tour run by young people for young people (and all those young at heart!). We have been crawling since 2002, and always try to make this night out in Dublin (almost) unforgettable! A big thank you is due to all hostelworld.com customers who voted us the best tour worldwide in 2008!
We bring you to some of the best bars, clubs and lounges Dublin has to offer, with local hints and tips, free shots, drink specials and free entry along the way.
SO WHEN DOES IT TAKE PLACE?
Every night we go to the best drinking establishments in the city come rain or shine!
Groups: We can also arrange private pubcrawls and cater for groups.
- We meet between 8pm and 9pm at the Mercantile Bar, 28 Dame Street. Our sexy guides will be at the Bar waiting for you!
- We try and show you the biggest and most interesting range of bars and clubs in Dublin. On a tour we will visit between four and six bars and one or two nightclubs. We have a pool of places to choose from, where we are known and welcome, and we are constantly updating both our bars and the special offers that we get along the way.
So join us for a crazy night out in this city of pubs, bars, lounges and clubs where anything can happen and the only sure thing is you'll enjoy it!

Too many people with only 2 tour guides. The amount of people slowed the crawl down quite a bit, too much time outside standing around and such. But we absolutely LOVED our tour guide (Fluffy? Brian? He had curly hair and a fuzzy red beard!).

The free shots were great! It was fun to hang out with a group and get to know a couple of the people in the massive tour group that showed up the Thurs of St Patty weekend.

The tour operator did not show up at the designated time and place.
I sent an e-mail inquiring about getting my down-payment back and did not get a response.

I tried contacting someone from the Backpacker Pub Crawl two days in a row (via phone and email). I never heard back and was never able to get in touch with anyone. I even showed up the day of the event and tried to meet at the given location, but never saw anyone. I am convinced this is some type of scam, or just a very poorly run event. I am disappointed to have found something like this on HostelWorld.com....generally a reliable source. Very poor reviews from me and my four other friends

We couldn't find the spot we were supposed to meet at. We tried calling for more information to help us find it and no one picked up. We tried to call and cancel and again no one was answering the phones. It is a total fluke. We paid for nothing and no one could help us get there. We asked other tourism offices for guidance and they never even heard of it. Waste of money! Learn how to pick up the phones so that we could either find the meeting spot or at least cancel. Waste of money!

A great evening ! Perhaps we should have started with beer pong to get the interaction with the rest of the group a lot sooner, but by the end of the night we were all getting along very well.

Pubs in Dublin are expensive and the drink deals really weren't that great, so it might be cheaper to just go on your own. Our guide was really nice and the people we met were great, but I found overall the crawls in Prague and Amsterdam were cheaper because you got lots of free drinks at the beggining of the night.

Not what it was described as. Gave up at ten thirty when still in second pub. Both pubs visited were just ordinary ones which you could visit anywhere. No Irish music no stories to be told. One free drink which was like cordial. Group far too big around fifty or sixty with one guide. Would not recommend.

You left 12 tourists waiting around for you and no one showed up. While we made our own fun and did our own crawl, I'm very disapointed that there was no way to contact you guys nor was there any advanced notice sent out that you won't be showing up!! Very poor customer service.

Omg this was definately the most fun night out i have ever had! We met sooo many lovely people and had such a laugh!! Our guide john was really good, so friendly and took us to 5 pubs and a club, telling us was on offer in each place. It was the best night and i wanted to do it again the next day. You have to do this if you go to Dublin!

I had a blast. A large group but enough pubs that could support them. Definately a must.
