So what happens on our bar crawl?

Once you have arrived at the opening bar we will have to wait till all the other crawlers arrive, normally there are always a few hens who are naturally late, as always, but once we have you all together, it's off to the first bar where the shots will be ready and the games can begin. The bar crawl will keep you entertained from 21.30 at night right through until 7.00 am the next morning if you have the stamina to keep going. We visit all the main and popular bars on the strip where you get a welcome shot on arrival and around 45 mins in each bar to enjoy the vibe, dance, drink and do anything else you fancy. Costumes and fancy dress are welcomed on the bar crawl and drinks will be given to the best (craziest) costume each week. During the crawl we will take photos (uploaded to our facebook page every week) and our staff are on hand to guide you from bar to bar.

What's the point of the bar crawl?

So there are lots of misconceptions as to why there are bar crawls and what makes them popular, this is the low down from Albufeira's longest-running and most famous bar crawl. The bar crawl is designed to give you a small taste of each bar, the atmosphere, the music, the layout, theme and location. When you are arriving in Albufeira for the first time you have literally no idea where to go, what's good, what's not and where everyone else is going to be, the bar crawl takes care of this in one night.

It's a must.
