subject: Use A Limo Rental For Your Next Austin Pub Crawl [print this page] If you're sick of the same old, same old when it comes to the Austin bar scene, it may be time to plan your very own pub crawl this weekend. While there are a number of professional companies that provide pub crawl tours, you can take inspiration from the pros and plan your own pub crawl with friends to celebrate a special occasion, like a birthday, big promotion, or even Halloween.
Limo rentals and town cars are available for special events in the Austin area. Instead of worrying about bribing a friend to serve as a DD all night long, a group can pitch in together to rent a limo for the evening to ensure safe, reliable transportation without the risk of a DUI.
How to Plan a Pub Crawl
If you're not familiar with the pub crawl practice, it's important to remember that a minimum of six bars is recommended for a fun filled evening out on the town. If you are visiting just a few bars in the same area, that's not considered a pub crawl; a traditional pub crawl should range from 6 to 12 bars and may last up to eight hours. Get ready for a long night ahead!
Next, its important to focus on your distance. The most popular type of pub crawl will begin and end with a drop-off point. Your limo can drop you off on a popular street in Austin, such as 6th Street. From there, your group has the opportunity to walk and drink to your hearts content by visiting anywhere from 6 to 12 bars along the way.
To maintain your stamina and keep a large group in check, make it a priority to drink roughly one drink per bar. Anymore, and you'll risk members of the group getting sloppy or unruly. Drinking too much in one location may encourage friends in your group to sit and stay a while, holding up the pub crawl process and causing potential conflict within the group.
Don't Forget Drink Specials
If you want to plan a pub crawl to remember that won't break the bank, do a little research in advance to find out the best drink specials in one concentrated area. Many times, you can call bars directly to find out what drink specials they may have on certain nights of the week.
For example, if you're putting on a pub crawl for a bachelorette party on a Thursday night, it's best to plan to go to bars that have ladies night drink specials, where ladies drink free or get half-price drinks.
Last but not least, set up a system to keep all members of the party together. Pub crawls can range from modest in size at roughly 5 people up to large groups of 20 or more. If youve organized a pub crawl with a large group that has ridden together in one limo, make sure to do a headcount every time you leave a bar so that no man gets left behind!
