Brisbane Pub Crawl: An In-Depth Guide with Everything You Need to Know

A pub crawl – or bar tour – offers a perfect way to explore the Brisbane nightlife and discover hidden gems along the way. But before you embark on this adrenaline charged night out, it’s important to have some basic knowledge of pub crawls and the safety aspects that come with them. In this extensive guide, you can find everything you need to know about Brisbane pub crawls.

What is a Pub Crawl?

A pub crawl is an event or activity held in many towns and cities which involves groups of people visiting numerous pubs or bars in one night, typically over a number of hours. The aim is normally to move from pub to pub in an organised fashion, with the intention of drinking at each place. Some pub crawls can also include activities such as stand-up comedy, pool games or quiz challenges. In Brisbane, pub crawls are one of the city’s most popular group activities.

Are Pub Crawls Celebrations?

The answer depends on the purpose of the pub crawl. Pub crawls can be celebratory events and are often organised to mark special occasions, such as post-exam celebrations, pre-wedding festivities or hen nights. Many dedicated touring companies offer specialised pub crawl experiences for those looking to celebrate birthdays or other special occasions. However, some pub crawls are just designed to have fun with a group of friends and connect with other like-minded locals. It all depends on the individual needs of the group involved.

Are There Organised Pub Crawls?

Yes – in fact, pub crawls are a growing trend across Brisbane, and many companies now offer organised pub crawls which take care of all the planning. Most tours will include your entry fees, drinks and food vouchers, entertainment, guided tours and of course VIP access to some of Brisbane’s best party venues. These pub crawls are designed with convenience in mind and provide an ideal opportunity for groups of people to meet new people and discover some of the best bars in Brisbane.

What Kind of Pubs Are Included in a Pub Crawl?

The range of pubs on Brisbane pub crawls varies depending on the tour company, but generally involves a combination of lively bars, pubs and beer gardens in some of Brisbane’s most vibrant locations. Popular spots on pub crawls include Caxton Street, West End, South Bank, Fortitude Valley and Woolloongabba. Some tours also provide options to explore different parts of the city such as Milton or even New Farm. You can check out the websites of individual tour companies for specifics about their pub crawl destinations.

In addition, they also offer VIP concierge services which provide complimentary pick up and drop off services at venues within inner Brisbane suburbs as well as complimentary phone charging services at watch towers throughout Brisbane.
