Bars & pub crawls · PUB CRAWLS IN THE NETHERLANDS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend flying in on Friday: 15 pub crawls in the Netherlands worth the money, each with its price, its verdict and the one thing to know before you book.
Join an English-speaking host such as Ioanna, Eleni, Sam, or Tina for five nightlife stops around Amsterdam’s City Center or Red Light District. You get unlimited shots for 30 minutes, one shot at each venue, drinking games, drink discounts, and nightclub entry. Dress for strict door rules.
“Went on the Pub Crawl! Had the best time ever! Mia was the best tour guide! Book with her!!!”
Join hosts such as Matilda, Lilli, Andre, or Elio for about five hours across four Red Light District bars and a nightclub. You get free entry, a shot at each venue, unlimited shots for the first 30 minutes, drinking games, and a WhatsApp route for the night.
“I had a great time at this pubcrawl. Lilli and Daniel were fun and great hosts. They were well organized and coordinated. They made sure that the folks are engaged in each bar and they were also extremely friendly!”
Join hosts such as Tina, Andrei, Matilda, or Laura for a five-stop Amsterdam night out. You get early unlimited shots, one beer or wine at each venue, free entry, and a final club visit. The group suits solo visitors and social pairs, but strict dress rules matter.
“Best pub crawl ever. And the guide were fantastic, their names are Laura and Samuel. They were amazing, so fun and made this whole experience super enjoyable !!”
Spend four hours moving through Amsterdam’s nightlife with an English-speaking guide, free shots, drink deals, and skip-the-line entry. Begin at Generator Hostel Bar, meet guides such as Giada, Manasvi, or Charlie, then visit more than three venues before finishing near Leidseplein.
“had the best evening! diverse types of bars and all were different in great ways. live music, to cocktail bar, to clubs 👌🏽 great company and then Con our guide was super cool as hell and could really tear up the dancefloor. also loved the surprise food stop! what a legend 👏🏽 thanks con for such a good time.”
Join Ludwig, Manu, Aria, Mina, or another local host for a four-hour night through Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Visit up to five bars, enjoy a free shot at each, meet other people, and finish with included VIP club entry. Bring comfortable shoes, valid ID, and money for drinks.
“If you’re in Amsterdam and get Ludwig as your pub crawl guide, consider yourself extremely lucky. From the moment we met, Ludwig’s energy was infectious—he managed to turn a group of strangers into instant friends. His knowledge of the city’s nightlife is unmatched; every stop felt handpicked for atmosphere, drinks, and vibe. What really stood out was how effortlessly he made sure everyone was having a great time. He remembered names, included everyone in conversations, and even threw in some fascinating local stories between venues. He’s a natural at reading the room—keeping the pace perfect so we could enjoy each spot without feeling rushed, but still keeping the party alive.…”
Join hosts such as Matilda, Aria, Junot, or Maria for a five-and-a-half-hour Amsterdam nightlife crawl. You’ll visit bars around Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein, receive a free beer at each city-centre venue, and finish at a nightclub. Expect a large group and WhatsApp directions between stops.
“The coordinators are extremely nice people and laid back. The only main issue is that they don't know how to coordinate this event well. They had cards where we were going to interact with each other but never used. Everyone was in their own separate groups. If you have a group beforehand and want to drink and do free shots I recommend this place. This event for me personally lacked coordination and was a waste of time.”
Join Ludwig, Pavlina, Lisa, Sarah, or another local guide for a four-hour Amsterdam night out. Visit up to five bars, collect a welcome shot at each, meet fellow visitors, and finish with club entry. Expect changing venues, karaoke, pool, dancing, and a flexible group-led route.
“The Tour was great. Ludwig knows exactly what he's doing. He will make sure everbody is having a good time.”
You’ll cruise Amsterdam’s canals with unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks, then meet hosts such as Manuel, Aria, or Andrea for a Red Light District crawl. Expect four pubs, free shots, drinking games, drink specials, and club entry. Bring photo ID and wear proper evening clothes.
“we wenn to the bar ceasl with Tina and Mathilde and IT was so much funktioniert!”

“Eric made the pub crawl so much fun, even though we had only 4 people that day. He introduced us to cool pubs that only locals would know about, and capped off the night with a suggestion to visit a karoke bar. That was the highlight of the pub crawl and we had so much fun”
Join Ludwig, Lisa, Sara, or Lexi for a four-hour queer pub crawl through Amsterdam. Visit five bars, receive a welcome shot at each, meet locals and fellow visitors, and finish with club entry included. Expect karaoke, varied bar styles, drink specials, and a guide who keeps the group together.
“Ludwig was a such a lovely tour guide that constantly checked in with the group to ensure that everyone was having good time and that no one was lost. The bars were very diverse with lots of different themes. I would recommend this to anyone that truly wants to have a great time.”
Join Ludwig or a local English-speaking guide for four hours across five Utrecht bars. Your ticket covers entry, a welcome shot at each stop, and VIP entry to a club afterward. Bring valid ID, wear comfortable shoes, and plan to buy your own drinks.
“The tour and Ludwig was AMAZING! My group got to discover Utrecht, learn about its’ history, and had an amazing time jumping from pub to pub. It was beyond fun and I couldn’t recommend it more - for groups or solo travelers! Great way to meet people as well :)”
Start with a pub quiz, then follow English, German, or Dutch-speaking hosts through five Groningen bars and clubs. Your $29 ticket includes four shots or drinks, free entry, games, and a social group. Guides such as Stefan and Jules have helped create the friendly party atmosphere.

“It was a really nice experience, we can recommend it if you are looking for new spots and to meet new people.”
Join a private four-hour pub crawl through Amsterdam’s Red Light District with a guide, free shots, bar stops, and club entry. You start at Frisco Inn Hotel & Shisha Bar and finish near Rembrandtplein. Xander is praised by name in the feedback, though guide assignment can vary.
“Incredible experience I would recommend going with friends 🤌🏽. Overall was a top service worth every penny. The person that did the tour was super friendly.”
Take a three-hour, self-guided mystery through Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Start at Bierfabriek near Rokin, follow clues tied to a 1988 true crime, visit three breweries, and finish at de Prael near Central Station. You get one drink at each stop, plus the game materials.
“Het was veel te duur voor wat je krijgt. De eerste bar waar wij kwamen zijn we niet leuk ontvangen. Er is geen uitleg gegeven over het spel. We moesten overleggen met elkaar, maar de muziek stond te hard. Groepsgrote is ook van belang. Wij waren met 7 man, maar hierdoor kreeg iedereen de helft mee van het verhaal. Je krijgt wel 3 drankjes per persoon, maar dit is alleen voor simpel pils of frisdrank. Al in al hadden wij er meer van verwacht voor de prijs.”
Pick a kind of bar, or a kind of crawl.
