BAR CRAWLS · AFTER DARK WORLDWIDE
Skip the planning. Just show up thirsty.
Bourbon Street in New Orleans, the ruin bars of Budapest, speakeasies in New York, beach clubs in Barcelona. Real reviews of the bar crawls and cocktail tours worth booking, in the cities that come alive after dark.
Worth the trip for the night out alone
Three cities built for a big night.
Some places you visit for the sights. New Orleans, Budapest and Amsterdam you visit for after dark: the jazz dives, the ruin bars, the canal-side crawl. These are the cities groups plan a whole trip around.
USA
New Orleans
No city does a night out quite like it. A guide walks you off Bourbon Street to the jazz dives and dim cocktail rooms the locals actually drink in, hands you a frozen daiquiri for the walk, and times it so you land in a courtyard bar when the brass band kicks off. The drink goes with you here, and so does the music.

Hungary
Budapest
The ruin bars of District VII are unlike anywhere else: derelict buildings rebuilt into mazes of mismatched rooms, courtyards and bars on every floor. A local guide gets you past the queues, lines up the welcome shots and knows which spots are worth the stairs, then points the group at a club when the bars start to thin. Cheap rounds, wild rooms, a long night.

Netherlands
Amsterdam
A night here runs from the cosy brown cafes to the canal-side bars to the clubs that do not get going until late. A guide threads you through the Jordaan and the Red Light fringe, orders the local jenever, and gets the group into a club without the door drama. The walking between bars, over the bridges, is half the fun.

Pick your kind of night
Three ways to spend a night out.
Before you pick a city, pick the night. A rowdy bar crawl, a serious cocktail tour, a late club run. Each one is a different evening, and a city that does it better than most.
New Orleans
The drink comes with you here.
New Orleans is the rare city where you carry your drink out the door and into the street. A guide walks you off Bourbon Street to the jazz dives and dim cocktail rooms the locals actually drink in, lines up a frozen daiquiri or a Sazerac, and times it so the brass band is playing when you reach the courtyard. The night moves with the music.

The best bars are behind unmarked doors.
Half of New York’s best drinking happens behind a bookcase, down a staircase, through a diner phone booth. A guided crawl through the Lower East Side and the Village gets you past the doormen and into the speakeasies and rooftop bars you would never find alone, with the bartenders who treat a cocktail like a craft. One borough, a dozen rooms, no wandering in the cold.

The whole Strip, none of the queues.
Vegas runs on velvet ropes, and the line you skip is the difference between a great night and an hour on the pavement. A party-bus crawl loads the group, pours the first round on board, and rolls between the bars and megaclubs with skip-the-line entry built in. A host handles the doors so you handle the dancing.
See the best Las Vegas bar crawls →Nashville after dark
Live bands on every floor of Broadway.
Nashville stacks its nightlife three storeys high: a different live band on every floor of every honky-tonk, and a rooftop above that. A guided crawl works the length of Broadway and the bars just off it, getting the group to the best stages and up to the rooftops, with the cover charges and the wait times sorted for you.

By the hour
How hard do you want to go?
A few easy rounds in Charleston. A bar-to-beach crawl in Barcelona. A ruin-bar marathon in Budapest. Pick the city that matches the night you actually want.
Take it easy
Charleston, a few good rounds.A relaxed evening through the historic district: a couple of cocktail bars, a rooftop with a view, a guide who knows the bartenders. A real night out with none of the chaos, home at a reasonable hour.
Proper night out
Barcelona, bar to bar to beach.A few drinks through the Gothic Quarter with a group, the local spots between the tourist traps, then on toward the late bars and a beach club if the night has legs. Paced to last, built to be fun.
All night
Budapest, ruin bar to sunrise.Welcome shots, then a guide marches you through the ruin bars of District VII and into a club with skip-the-line entry. The night the rest of the trip gets measured against. Pace yourself early.
Prague
Cheap beer, five floors, one ticket.
Prague is a pub-crawl town to its bones: half-price pints, a power hour with unlimited pours, and a finish at the biggest multi-floor club in Central Europe. A guide rounds up the group, runs the welcome drinks and walks you from the Old Town cellar bars to the late club with the line already handled, so the only thing you keep track of is your group.
