Valencia Pub Crawl: Old Town Bars & Welcome Shots Night

Summary

Valencia nightlife stories, old town bars, laughter and new friends

You’ll jump between four lively old town bars on this Valencia pub crawl night—each with its own vibe and a free welcome shot waiting for you. Expect silly games, spontaneous new friendships, plenty of laughs (and photos), plus a local team making sure nobody gets left behind. By midnight you’ll feel like part of the city’s weekend rhythm.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I remember is the sticky sweetness of that welcome shot — something neon green, maybe apple? — and the way our group hesitated at the doorway of the first bar. It was already humming with voices, but our guide (I think his name was Luis?) just grinned and waved us in like we were regulars. There’s this smell in these old Valencia bars — a mix of citrus peel, spilled beer, and something herbal I couldn’t place. We squeezed into a corner, and someone from Germany tried to teach me a drinking chant. I failed miserably but everyone cheered anyway.

By the time we hit the second stop on this Valencia pub crawl, I’d lost track of who was from where. There were people from Brazil, Ireland, Poland — honestly it felt like half the world packed into one narrow street. The games started getting sillier (I’m not explaining what happened with that hat), and you could feel everyone loosening up, even the quiet ones. Our guide kept us moving before we got too comfortable; he said if you linger too long you miss half the night’s stories. He was right about that.

The last bar was more club than pub — lights pulsing off old stone walls, music thumping so hard you could feel it in your ribs. I had to shout to order water (yes, water by then), and ended up laughing with two girls from Valencia who swore their city never really sleeps on weekends. I still think about how easy it was to talk to strangers here — maybe it’s something about these winding streets or just the way everyone’s out for a good time together.
