An average experience. Its a really good concept, great to meet people and get entry etc everywhere. Something good to do if you are solo and want to get out there and meet people
Pros: Fun time, the bars were pretty cool, as was the club with free entry at the end, and we got a free shot in every venue, mostly weak but the one at the end was whatever we wanted, so we got straight Jaeger. We didnt get any drink discounts with the crawl, but they were cheap enough as is, 3 euros or so for a beer. Even the club at the end was "only" 6 euros for a beer, which is cheap if you are used to London prices. Met a good selection of travellers from all over, but only about 7 on a Friday night.
Cons: they wont let you pay it all on the website, you need to turn up with cash, so I had to go out and get some, and thus spend an extra 6 euros on withdrawing cash. The guide was pretty uninterested, just spent his whole time on his phone not getting involved/introducing/photos/drinking games etc. Wasn't a fan of having to take the metro to get to the club, would have been cool to keep it walking distance. And worst of all we went back the next day as they advertise it as "come all year for free after buying one" but no one actually showed up - presumably because of no bookings, but you should still expect walk ins and returning customers or don't advertise this. You would think a Saturday night in Barcelona would be really busy and their peak time of the week. But I think not showing up is weird, the bar tender at Cheers, the meeting point, didnt know what...
Read moreI feel like many of these reviews are fake (I think they were made by the company)! Look on trip advisor to see more recent reviews! This is not a bar crawl because you never know who the guide is, and there is so much confusion during the "crawl" that you will literally lose your friends (or new friends in my case). Bar Crawl Barcelona, Pub Crawl Barcelona, and I Survived Barcelona are all this same bar crawl (with 3 different web sites). The free drinks they offer are: half pint of beer, watered down tequila, and peach schnapps. The club is so packed you will not be able to get a drink, nor do they offer you one. I personally was sober the entire night because so many people showed up, it was very challenging to buy a drink. On top of all this, one of the "bars" was a really small club and the next was a restaurant. You will get free access to the main club if you get into the correct line (multiple guides told us to stand in different lines, so we ended up waiting in 3 lines). One of the guys was kicked out of line by the bouncer for no apparent reason, and the unpersonable guides were nowhere to be found. I would recommend any other bar crawl in Barcelona, because this was just an unprofessional and poorly executed experience. These ratings on Google are...
Read moreDON'T JOIN THIS PUB CRAWL! First of all: most of these comments are fake. I mean look at them "great Food" "club with the best music"... That doesn't nearly sound like a pub crawl. My experience was exactly like the other negative reviews and i can say in all honesty that this was, by far, the worst pub crawl i've ever been to. The 3 free shots are mostly water and wouldn't even considered alcohol in Saudi-Arabia. The places that our guide took us were just some overcrowded caves for tourists. But the last one of just 3(!) "pubs" was the last one. It was more like a club and just 5 of us were allowed to enter at a time. It was so full inside that we weren't even able to buy a beer... after 10 minutes a girl i met and i went to a bar next to this "establishment" to atleast have a drink. Then our guide showed up. Our initial thoughts were that she wants to get us back inside to the rest of the group.... But she was just on her way home and said goodbye. No chance to really meet people, no authentic experience of the nightlife of Barcelona and 20 euros wasted... The rest of our group didn't even managed to get inside. The most dissapointing experience you can have while you are...
