• Visit multiple bars and clubs
• Play games and see live music
• Enjoy exclusive drink deals

The experience

You meet your host at a famous NYC bar in Greenwich Village, check in with the other crawlers (solo travelers, couples, groups), and get the lay of the night before you head out. From there you visit four bars and clubs within walking distance, each one picked for games, karaoke, live bands, or top DJs. The host moves the group through, and you get free shots at every stop plus exclusive drink deals that would cost more if you walked in alone. VIP expedited entry means you skip the line at the door.

The crawl runs about 3.5 hours, but you're free to stay at the final club all night if the vibe is right. You'll play games, catch live music, and move through the same streets that hosted legends of music and comedy. The dress code is trendy or smart casual, no athletic wear. Public transportation is nearby if you need to get back to your hotel, and the whole thing is built so you don't spend your first New York night wandering around trying to figure out where to go next.

What’s included

• Free shots and VIP expedited entry at all four bars and clubs.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly do I do at each bar on the crawl?

Each of the four bars and clubs features different entertainment: games at some stops, karaoke or live bands at others, and top DJs at the clubs. You get free shots and exclusive drink deals at every location, and the host keeps the group moving on a set schedule so the night stays organized.

Is this crawl good for someone visiting New York for the first time?

Yes, most guests on these crawls are first-time visitors to the city. The host knows the Village inside out, the route is fixed so you don't waste time figuring out where to go, and you meet people from around the world doing the same thing, which takes the pressure off exploring alone.

What's included in the price?

Free shots and admission fees at all four bars and clubs; VIP expedited entry so you skip lines; exclusive drink deals that save money on additional rounds; and a live English-speaking host guiding the whole night. You only pay for extra drinks beyond what's included.

Do I have to stay the whole 3.5 hours?

The crawl itself runs about 3.5 hours and covers four locations. You're free to leave early or stay at the final club all night, many people do. The host will make sure you know where you are and how to get back.

What should I wear and what do I need to bring?

Wear smart casual or trendy clothes: no athletic wear or gym gear. Bring a valid ID. The minimum age is 21 and you'll be asked to show it at each bar. Check-in details and any updates will come with your booking voucher.
