What is a Bar Hop?

A bar hop is an activity where individuals visit multiple bars and pubs in the same night, often making stops at several locations which may be located in different parts of the same city, or even a different city altogether. It’s essentially a pub crawl in its concentrated form. Bar hopping allows an individual or group to sample different drinks, meet new people, and experience various locations at once- all within one night!

Prepare for a Bar Hop in Saint Lucia

Before heading out for a night of bar hopping, it’s important to do some research. Here are some tips for preparing for a successful Bar Hop experience in Saint Lucia:

Do Your Research

Find the best bars in your area. Ask friends and locals for their recommendations; read online reviews; or find out from experts. Making sure that the bars are reputable is key to having an enjoyable and safe experience.

Plan Ahead

Once you have found some venues, decide on an order that makes sense- such as location relative to one another and the order in which you expect to be close by in the evening. Try to stick to the plan as much as possible but have a backup list of additional bars, just in case.

Observe Drinking Regulations

Be aware that each area has its own drinking regulations;  know what the rules are, and stick to them.  Obey the laws in terms of who, where and when people can drink, and remember that public intoxication is illegal in some regions.

Choose Wisely

Look for clean, safe places; remember there’s no Smoking legal or illegal substances, that’s prohibited on public locations  and vehicles throughout the country. Also, don’t forget to enjoy responsibly- inform yourself  or ask about prices before ordering so you don’t get ripped off. Some venues may require a minimum age to get in, so be aware of this before arriving.

Set a Budget

Make sure to set a budget per venue and stick to it, and only purchase drinks that you will be able to finish before moving on to the next location. It’s also a good idea to bring cash with you rather than relying on debit and credit cards; this way you can easily keep track of your spending and will be able to pay with exact change wherever needed.
