“Okay pub crawl, lots of walking so I’d recommend comfortable shoes. Also, some of the bars were overly crowded so be prepared to stand with loud music. I’d say this is for more of the 40 and under crowd. If you don’t drink I wouldn’t recommend because with every stop when you get a drink you get a free shot. So drink wisely! Lol However, you get to meet a lot of people in a short amount of time.”
