Downtown Pub Crawl Saturday

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

We’re just four days from the greatest night you’ll never remember.

4thPubCrawlWEBThe Fifth Annual Downtown Phoenix Pub Crawl happens this Saturday, Oct. 22, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.

For $12 online or $15 day-of, Crawlers can partake in drink deals at an unprecedented 20 bars, trolley service, beads, a post-Crawl breakfast/dance party at Steve’s Greenhouse Grill, plus cab and hotel discounts.

Because we don’t want our favorite people to miss out on any of the Pub Crawl shenanigans, we’re sweetening the deal by giving online purchasers an extra $2 off when they enter the promo code FB2.

(For math majors, that knocks the price down to an even $10.)

BREAKING PUB CRAWL NEWS: Should you complete your Pub Crawl mission and make it all the way to Steve’s Greenhouse Grill for breakfast and dancing, we’ll have some sweet giveaways waiting, including concert tickets, Flogging Molly pint glasses, CDs, DVDs, and jars of our homemade country mustard! HUGE thanks to our sponsor X103.9 FM!

You’ll find a complete list if bars, deals, official Pub Crawl map, cab and hotel deal information, and much more at our  Pub Crawl home page.

See you Saturday!

** Tickets purchased online can be picked up beginning at 10 a.m. at the Downtown Ambassador Information Center (101 N. 1st Ave.)

Have a Ball at the Crawl

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Pub crawlers, prepare. The 4th Annual Fall Pub Crawl is this Saturday, October 23rd, which means you’ve only got a short window to get in shape for Downtown’s very own Saloon Olympics. (Note: Save $3 by buying your tickets in advance.) Main events include bench-pressing beer mugs and fishing those slippery olives out of martinis (high marks for laughing without getting vodka up your nose).

PubCrawlerInsiderSPOTLIGHTMay’s Spring Fling crawl brought together more than 750 people who had a whopping good time (and hopefully, remembered it the next day). Next Saturday’s event will be even bigger, with a record number of pubs participating. Each location will offer drink/food specials exclusive to Pub Crawlers. See below for a full list, but first, here’s a quick look-see at a few of the locations:

Bar Smith – This bar/dance club/restaurant is like the hottest girl at the party: it’s always in demand. Bar Smith has won all kinds of awards for its nightlife and ambience, even making Sunset Magazines list for the Top 10 Rooftop Bars nationwide.

Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge – The first spot from CityScape to join the Crawl. With its sleek, neon-lit interiors and 19 locations around the country, Lucky Strike made bowling cool again. CityScape’s location includes 12 lanes, billiards, two bars and a full menu.

Seamus McCaffrey’s – Fun, cozy pub with patio seating and a Publican who knows his liquor. I love the warm vibe you get here.

Hanny’s – Think “Sex in the City.” Hanny’s is all about big city sophistication, with custom leather booths that recline, a horseshoe-shaped bar and a DJ spinning tunes from a crow’s nest above. Wonderful, personal service, too.

Turf Accountant Irish Pub – Sister pub to Seamus McCaffrey’s, The Turf has a big menu and 12 taps with imported draught beer and ale, plus a great selection of – what else – Irish whiskeys.

If you’ve never been to a Downtown Pub Crawl, here’s the how-to. Once the bars close, you’re invited back to Steve’s Greenhouse Grill for an after-hours breakfast/dance party from 1:30 am till 3 am. (Watch video from May’s post-crawl breakfast here.) A DJ will be spinning tunes and there’s a fabulous breakfast buffet special for only $6.95, including scrambled eggs, bacon, tortillas, fresh fruit, grilled potatoes and coffee.

Bonus round: the Hotel San Carlos is offering discounted room rates of $89 plus tax for Pub Crawlers.  This deal includes free valet parking and Sunday morning breakfast at Bistro 202.

Participating locations: Bar Smith, Bentley’s Nightclub, Carly’s Bistro, Coach & Willie’s, District American Kitchen & Wine Bar, Friday Front Row, Ghost Lounge, Hanny’s, Hooters, Kincaid’s Fish, Chops and Steak House, Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge, Majerle’s Sports Grill, Networks Bar & Grill, Seamus McCaffrey’s Irish Pub, Steve’s Greenhouse Grill, Turf Accountant Irish Pub and The Rose and Crown.

Spring Fling Pub Crawl Saturday

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

We interrupt this blog post with an important news bulletin: You have one more day to purchase discounted advance tickets to Saturday’s Spring Fling Pub Crawl. ”So what?” you might ask. Fair enough, smart guy, but if you don’t buy your tickets online before midnight Friday you won’t receive $3 off the day-of price of $15 (nor will you get the additional $2 off by entering promo code “2OFF” — wink, wink).

Quick math: If you save $3 or more on  your ticket that’s money for at least one additional drink–a drink you could buy to help win the affections of a fine-looking lass or strapping young buck.

The Spring Fling Pub Crawl is a trolley guided tour of 17 bars and restaurants in Downtown Phoenix, including Seamus McCaffrey’s, Coach & Willie’s, Hanny’s, Carly’s, Turf, and newly added Lost Leaf and The Roosevelt. You and a few hundred of your new best friends will experience Downtown’s hiptastic bar scene while enjoying exclusive drink and grub specials along the way. Here’s more of what you’ll need to know:

PubCrawlerInsider2What: Spring Fling Pub Crawl

Where: Downtown Phoenix

When: Saturday, May 15 with check-in starting at 8:30 p.m.

Who: All peeps 21 or older.

Why: Because we all love talking smart and grooving out with new friends at Downtown haunts holes like BarSmith, The Rose & Crown, Hanny’s, Majerle’s, 1130 The Restaurant, Friday’s Front Row, Stoudemire’s, Kincaid’s, Ghost Lounge, Steve’s Greenhouse Grill and Bentley’s.

How: Easier than saving 15 percent on your auto insurance. Either buy your discounted ticket online or buy night of when you meet up with us outside the Ambassador Information Center (Adams / 1st Ave.) between 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. From there, Ollie the Trolley will be whisking us from pub to pub to enjoy exclusive drink and food deals. Once we’ve crawled as far as we can, we’ll all head over to Steve’s Greenhouse for a special late-night breakfast.

See you Saturday!

Run Don’t Walk To the Third Annual Pub Crawl

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

The Third Annual Downtown Phoenix Pub Crawl will kick off on Friday, Nov. 13 at Fourth St. and Garfield starting at 9 p.m. and continues up to closing time. Fifteen of Downtown’s finest saloons will be offering music, food specials, wine, spirits, and, of course, hoptastic beers. As someone who is new to Downtown, I can’t wait to mix it up with some friendly faces while checking out Phoenix’s most talked about hot spots.

pub crawl_White with 3rdAnd this year, Sonoma Casual Dining will be offering a special after-hours breakfast starting a 1:30 a.m–a perfect opportunity to recap the revelry with new friends and soak up the evening’s, um, experiences. A fleet of trolleys will transport teams to their respective pubs and team leaders will be on hand to answer questions and make sure the crawling continues on schedule. You can purchase discounted Pub Crawl tickets here until midnight Friday. In terms of value, you aren’t going to find a better bargain than a buck a bar, am I right?

Want a nice place to crash? The San Carlos Hotel is offering special discounted rooms to Pub Crawlers. Go to www.hotelsancarlos.com and enter in the code “DPUB.”

Can’t wait to crawl with you all this Friday!
