3.Gastown Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 127 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Meet at Portside Pub at 8 p.m. and visit four Gastown bars, including a punk karaoke bar and two DJ-led party spots. Your English-speaking hosts keep the evening moving, with one free shot at each bar after your first drink purchase. Expect a social, late-night group setting.

“I was very disappointed with this pub crawl as we were mislead with the places we would be going to. Levels Nightclub was closed which was not the fault of the guide, but we weren’t even told that we weren’t going there and no effort was made to try and find us another Nightclub to attend. We should have been notified that we weren’t going to the nightclub at the end of the night, if I hadn’t of asked the guide myself we would have ended up staying at the boring pub we were at before we were supposed to leave all night. Thankfully me and my friends left on…”

10.Pub Crawl Toronto

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 22 reviews · 5 hours · from $44

Join a five-hour Toronto pub crawl for entry to three or four bars and clubs, drink specials, and a local English-speaking guide. Bring valid ID, expect a social night for ages 19 and up, and check the official site for the meeting point.

“The leader was nice and friendly, and did his best on the night. However, we were the only three people on the pub crawl, which really took away from the whole point of doing a crawl, you go to meet people and experience a social atmosphere. I think in situations like this, guests should be contacted beforehand and either given the option to cancel or have the crawl combined with another night if it’s busier. Instead, we paid $67 each and received one shot at a bar. While entry to venues was included, none of the pubs were busy and it would have been very easy to get in without…”

11.Gastown Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 14 reviews · 6 hours · from $21Best value

Meet your English-speaking guides at Portside Pub at 8:00 PM, then visit four Gastown bars with free cover, line skips, and a shot tied to each venue’s drink purchase. An optional bingo scavenger hunt adds silly challenges and boozy prizes, making this a social, late-night party rather than a history tour.

“we booked the tour thinking we might see some older pubs with a bit of history but we soon realised that wouldn't be the case. We were the oldest of the group, it was aimed at a much younger audience, however, we stuck it out and ended up having a fun night and made lots of new friends.”
