Meet Ola, Matthew, or the On the Rocks team at The Fitz Regent at 7:30 pm for a five-hour Brighton night out. Walk through the Lanes and along the beach, visit four more bars and clubs, collect five free shots, use fast-track entry, and enjoy photos and drink discounts.

Join a four-to-six-hour Edinburgh night out through seven city-centre bars and clubs. Your guide, such as Tia, Tom, Esther, Cameron, or Justin, leads the group, with six shots, one bomb, drink discounts, and VIP entry included. Expect a social, youthful party rather than a quiet traditional pub tour.
“It was a good time. Guides were very accommodating. The tour definitely packs in a lot of bars and dance clubs, so variety is plentiful. I'm an American near my 40's and there were primarily people in the 20's on the tour. So this tour is perfect for college students or recent grads rather then for old-timey stiffs like me. But, definitely would recommend for party people wanting a crash course in Edinburgh nightlife.”
Start at Simmons Bar near Piccadilly Circus at 8:45 pm for a four to five hour crawl through London nightlife. Expect several bars, free entry, discounted drinks, free shots, a photographer, and hosts such as Will, Amy, or Pukka. The route is described as West End, though some details also mention Camden.
“Our tour guide never showed up and ghosted all of our attempts to contact. Sat around like idiots wasting time on all of our last night of the trip. Could not recommend this tour less.”
Meet your host at Belushi’s Camden at 7:30 pm for a seven-hour night through Camden’s bars and clubs. You get entry to five venues, four free shots, drink discounts, photos, and hosts such as Liz or Amy to keep the group together.
“Amy was a great host. She was fun, talkative, and friendly. My cousin and I had a great time. I liked all the bars except Coyote Ugly. The staff was rude; it took forever to get a drink. Overall, I would recommend the tour to others.”
Meet at Pilgrim Bar at 7:30 pm for a six-hour crawl through Edinburgh’s Old Town. You’ll visit at least five bars and clubs, with free entry, a welcome shot at each stop, drink discounts, photos, and a return to the starting point.

I would highly recommend this bar crawl to anyone solo traveler or not.”

“This is a tourist trap!! You're better off going to a bar on your own. None of the shots were served in shot glasses, instead they were served in 2ml plastic vials and everything tasted like fruit juice. What a rip off!! We started smoothly at bar 1, got our shot, then moved to bar 2 were we spent an hour just waiting to get the shot since it was happy hour. When we told the organizer that it's almost an hour and some members of our group still hadn't received their drinks, she said she's messaging the manager and remained outside drinking. At bar 3 we got our tiny…”

“I went on my own on a Monday night, there was about 10 of us, and had a great night! The hosts really make sure no one feels left out and they're great fun on the night. Was a good mixture of bars, played some beer pong, table football. Save so much money compared to a normal London night out as well so would definitely recommend!”
