A pub crawl (sometimes called a bar crawl) is the act of visiting and drinking alcohol at a number of pubs in a single night with a group of friends. It's purportedly called a "crawl" because the carousers are literally crawling from pub to pub after getting initially soused after a few rounds at a few pubs. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term (including variations like 'gin crawl' and 'beer crawl') has been in use since the late 19th century. The pubs chosen for the route can be chosen according to a theme.
Examples of 'themed' pub crawls
- The London Underground pub crawl, which involves drinking at a pub closest to each of the stops on a single tube line, the Circle Line being a popular choice as participants start and finish in the same area.
- The Subcrawl, a similar notion involving the circular Glasgow Underground.
- The Monopoly pub crawl, which involves drinking at a pub on each of the London streets on the board of the British version of Monopoly.
- The Red Line Pub Crawl, in which participants use the Red Line of the Chicago L to visit numerous Southside, Chicago Loop and Northside pubs.
