Bars & pub crawls · PUB CRAWLS IN ITALY
This is the shortlist you would send a friend flying in on Friday: 15 pub crawls in Italy worth the money, each with its price, its verdict and the one thing to know before you book.
Start at 8 pm in Monti with guides such as Autumn, Michelle, Michal, or Anna. Expect local wine, spritz, sambuca, limoncello, games, karaoke, scandalous Roman stories, and a walk past the Imperial Forums, ending near Julius Caesar’s statue.
“Great tour guide, book with Autumn. We had an amazing experience and we enjoyed the tour. We also learned about Roman history.”
Join hosts such as Alessandro, Elisa, Elizabeth, or Danna for a late Rome night built around four bars and clubs. Choose a one-hour open bar from 9:30 to 10:30 PM or one drink and a shot. Expect games, new friends, changing venues, and a party that can last until late.
“So much fun! We met so many lovely people and had the best time! Felt it on the train ride the next day for sure”
Meet your English-speaking guide in Piazza della Madonna dei Monti for three hours of dark Roman tales, local wine, spritz, sambuca, and limoncello. You’ll walk through Monti, visit selected bars with reserved tables, meet other adults, and finish near Piazza Venezia. Non-alcoholic drinks are available.
“A very fun night out. Met some great people and had a good tour through the night spots of Rome! Autumn was a lovely tour guide - very welcoming and keen to keep people informed of the local area.”
Meet at Finch Lounge at 9:30 pm, then walk through Palermo’s centro storico with hosts including Luis. Visit about five bars for free local shots, drink deals, DJs, live music, and a friendly social night that ends on Via Chiavettieri.
“Had such a great time at this bar crawl! SO much fun and made some great friends. Felt very safe the entire time.”
Meet guides such as Luis, Carlo, and Emanuele at Finch Lounge at 9:30 p.m. Then walk between five Palermo bars, spending 30 to 60 minutes at each. You get a free shot at every stop, drink discounts with your wristband, and plenty of time to meet locals and fellow solo visitors.

Meet guides such as Autumn, Ana, Michelle, or Marley in Piazza della Madonna dei Monti for a three-hour walk through Monti. Hear Rome’s saucy past, visit several local bars, and sample wine, spritz, Carpano Classico, sambuca, and limoncello, with alcohol-free drinks available.
“Amazing crawl. Michal was the most amazing and passionate guide. Highly recommended especially if traveling solo and looking to meet new people.”
Meet your English or Italian-speaking guide outside Toledo Metro and walk through Naples’ Old Town, Spanish Quarters, and street bars. Visit three or four local spots, play social games, and pay for your own inexpensive drinks. The night may finish at a club for €5, including a cocktail.
“We had an amazing time! Only downside was that we booked something early the next morning so could not go to the club! Our mistake, if you’re doing this definitely plan to be out for the night and learn from us!”
Start with wine by the Arno, then follow a guide through Florence’s scandalous past, a traditional bar, a wine window, and Santa Croce nightlife. You get two cocktails, a shot, and a social group led by guides such as Zofia, Juliette, Anna, or Didar. Private upgrades are available.
“The tour really worth it. It was nice to have couple drinks while learning a little part of Florencia history. Zofia was an amazing guide really fun and interresting. I would recommand 100% to anyone who visite Florencia”
Meet at Highlander Pub at 9:30pm for one hour of unlimited drinks, pizza, and games if you select the open bar option. Hosts such as Alessandro, Elizabeth, and Dana lead you through three bars and a club, with some nights featuring karaoke, boat parties, pool parties, or larger club events.
“This is a great way to meet new people and to get to know Rome better. We had a blast. Warmly recommended!”
Meet your English-speaking guide in a red shirt at Ostello Bello, then walk to four Milan bars for welcome shots, VIP entry, drink deals, games, and dancing. You pay for extra drinks, and in low season the route may combine with another crawl or include a €2 metro ride to Corso Como.
Start at 8 pm in Piazza della Madonna dei Monti for a three-hour evening of local drinks, Roman history, and small bars. Guides such as Ana, Michal, Michelle, Autumn, and Irene lead the group through Monti, along Via dei Fori Imperiali, and toward Piazza Venezia.
“I had an absolutely amazing time at this pub crawl. Our tour guide was the best, her name is Michal M. She was the whole package, smart funny informational. She had everything prepared and planned. This is a must do if you are looking to have a great night life experience.”

“We had such a great time - our extended family bonded during this tour and we also bonded with complete strangers. It was so much fun and we learned so much, but did not feel bored like sometimes on other tours. Thank you so much Ana and Michelle! We would love to take any tour from you!”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Ca’ Rezzonico at 5 p.m. for a two-hour walk through Venice’s lanes and three bacari. You’ll taste two glasses of local wine, a spritz, and cicchetti, then finish near Rialto Bridge. Bring ID, arrive early, and expect a brisk group pace.
“Only the first of the three venues was pleasant and suitable to accommodate the group. There was very little time in any of the three venues and each of the 3 drinks were very small - nowhere near a standard measure . The snacks were extremely sparse too. We were rushed out of the first and second venues with insufficient time to even finish the small drinks. It was cold, lacked atmosphere or care and it was clear that the 3rd tiny brightly lit ‘plastic’ standup venue had not been organised in advance- we were glad to leave it asap in any event .Extremely disappointing , wholly lacking in any…”
Meet by the Colosseo Metro station for a four-hour night out through Rome’s bars and clubs. Expect group games, DJ music, free pizza slices, a one-hour drink offer, and nightclub admission. You must be 18 or older, and the evening may include a metro ride to the first bar.
“The guide was great! Very nice and fun.. The experience itself was not bad but doesn’t worth the money. The free drinks on the first bar were limited as predetermined choices. The pizza was good but too simple(just cheese) The second bar was okay The last stop I was exRead more”
Start at 9:30 pm with Samuele or another local guide in the Spanish Quarter. Visit affordable street bars, walk Via Toledo and Dante Square, then play social games in Piazza Bellini. Drinks cost extra, and the group may continue dancing at a club.
“Samuele was an excellent guide through the streets of Napoli, taking us from bar to bar - some holes in the wall, some super popular. Really enjoyed talking to the whole group as he’s great at helping strangers get along, playing drinking games with us along the way. He was happy to answer any questions we had about Napoli, what else to see and do, history and culture. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to go out for a few drinks, walk through the city with a local and make new friends.”
