The experience

The crawl starts in the Fabrika Hostel lobby, where you meet the guide and the group over a cocktail in the first bar. This opening stop is where you settle in, play games and get your bearings before moving into the hidden corners of Tbilisi's nightlife. From there you walk to four more bars, all in the Old Town, spending close to an hour in each one. Welcome shots arrive at every stop, and the pace gives you time to actually talk to people instead of rushing through.

The route takes you past Orbeliani Square (recently renovated, with the Presidential palace and galleries nearby), and through Liberty Square, where you can see St. George's statue and the TV tower rising above the city. The streets themselves are part of the draw: the Old Town stays alive all day and night, and you're moving through them with someone who knows which bars matter and why. The guide speaks English and carries the kind of knowledge that comes from actually working the scene, not reading a guidebook.

Five hours covers the whole arc without dragging. You get the cocktail ritual, the shots, the games, the singing and dancing if the group wants it, and the chance to see how Georgians actually spend an evening. Public transport is nearby if anyone needs to head out early or grab a ride home after.

What’s included

Top questions

What time does the Tbilisi pub crawl start and end?

The tour runs for five hours total, starting at Fabrika Hostel in the evening. The exact start time varies by date. Check your booking confirmation for the departure time on your chosen night.

Do I have to drink at every bar on the crawl?

Welcome shots are provided at each of the five bars, but you're not required to drink them. You can order your own drinks, stick to soft options, or pace yourself however you want. The guide's job is to keep the group together and the energy up, not to police what's in anyone's glass.

What is the Old Town of Tbilisi like at night?

Tbilisi Old Town stays busy around the clock, with narrow streets, historic buildings and a mix of tourists and locals. The bars you'll visit are embedded in this neighborhood, so you're walking through living streets, not a dead zone that only wakes up for tours.

Is this crawl safe for solo travelers?

The tour is built as a group experience. You meet other people in the first bar and move together through the night. Solo travelers join regularly, and the guide keeps things friendly and inclusive regardless of background or how you're traveling.

What happens if I'm not a big drinker?

The crawl centers on bars and shots, so it's designed for people who want to drink. If you're not interested in alcohol, the social side and the Old Town itself are still there, but this particular tour is built around the drinking-game and shot experience, so you might get more out of a different Tbilisi night tour.

Can I join if I'm under 21 or under 18?

The minimum age is 18 years old. Anyone younger cannot join, as the tour involves alcohol service at each bar.
