The experience

You meet at Beer Station Bar at 9:30 pm on Friday or Saturday. The crawl takes you through 5 venues over 7 hours, starting with introductions and ice-breaker games at the first stop to get everyone talking. Each bar brings welcome shots, games and dancing: the vibe shifts as the night goes on, from nervous energy at the first bar to the full party mode by the final dance club. A professional party guide keeps things moving and makes sure solo travelers and groups alike find their people.

The 4 free welcome shots are built into the stops, along with drinking games and dancing at each venue. You get expedited entry to all 5 party spots, which means no waiting in line at the door. Professional photos are taken throughout the night so you have proof of the crew you found. The whole point is mixing travelers from different countries and showing you where locals actually go on a Friday or Saturday night in Istanbul, not a formal bar tour, but a social adventure where you're expected to connect and move through the night together.

Public transportation is nearby if you need to get back to your hotel after. The crawl runs every Friday and Saturday, so timing your night out around the 9:30 pm start is the main thing to plan.
