One very good idea.....

Name tags with Names and Addresses of hotels on them.....makes it much easier to pour a person into a cab and get them to where they are going.


So I've heard.....

I once read that the best Pub Crawl game to play is Golf.

That is...you choose 9 bars.....Each bar is a hole...You assign a different drink a stroke value.

The stronger the beverage...the lower the stroke value.....

So...a shot of whiskey might be 1 Stroke....a glass of wine might be 2 strokes....a High gravity beer might be 3 strokes....a regular beer might be 4....and so on......

The best thing about this is that each set of strokes can be tailored to each particular bar....Certain bars might have specials that may be utilized....Some bars might have a crazy strong drink that someone might try if it is highlighted on the scorecard.

This also allows the organizer of the event to contact the bars, if they wish, and maybe hook everyone up with SPECIALS that save money....(Asking these places to make superstrong jello shots is always a winner...so I've been told).....The Crawl would have to arrive at each bar at a certain time....


At the very least....the organizer should make T-Shirts for the event...and everyone should wear one.....Especially if the organizer is in that line of work.....


I found it on a website somewhere....sounds like it would be fun.....

I can not imagine that any establishment would not be friendly to anybody.

This is Asheville ;)

I just want to say that I blew up the picture in that Wikipedia article provided....and it said it was a picture of a "Thatched Pub".....I doubt there was a letter missing at the end of that description.....but I almost fell out of my chair at the thought.

Sorry...

Carry on....

Long ago...one of my regulars used to get hammered and write limericks about everybody who came into the bar....Here's the one he wrote about me.....

David our most excellent tender
Oft' known to go on a bender
When asked how to quench
either bottle or wench
Said the answer to both is UP END 'ER
