Good nightlife experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 13 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ.
A guided central London barhop with free entry, shots, drink discounts, and photos, designed to keep you moving near Leicester Square.
“Greatest experience I’ve had since being here. Great energy and vibes. Moments and people. (@Reach4stars) honest review no bot”
London pub crawl from Piccadilly to Camden, free bar entry, discounted drinks and Apple Sourz shots, with a photographer. 4 to 5 hours.
“It was ok. Not much engagement from the hosts, and one of the places we went to felt somewhat like a prison. They had about 9 different security guards, some of which looked like ex convicts, roaming both the outside and the inside of the club. They also didn't allow hats. Which is fine, but the hosts don't inform on their post. So, it came as a surprise.”
Shoreditch pub crawl with free shots, drink discounts, and skip-the-line entry, starting at 333 Old St for about 4.5 hours.
“Definitely a must do for solo travelers! Our crawl guide, Ash, was amazing. She made sure everyone was taken care of and having a great time! I was able to meet people from all over the world and had great conversations and made friends, which is great to do as a solo traveler . I would highly recommend this bar crawl to anyone solo traveler or not.”
A 4-hour walking wine tour in Manchester with four bar stops, snack pairings, and a small group local guide for a relaxed city-centre stroll.
“4 of us enjoyed a Saturday afternoon in January. Kel is so knowledgeable and fun, we all learnt lots. The locations and wine choices were varied and well chosen. We went to places that we would never have normally have gone to but intend to return to visit a couple of the venues properly. Thank you Kel for a wonderful wine tasting experience.”
Viva Blackpool show night with decades music, dance, and comedy, plus easy mobile tickets and a 3-hour plan starting at 8 pm.
“What a wonderful time we had celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday at Viva. There was 13 of us ranging in ages from 13-77yrs old and all in our party were unanimous that it was a great night !”
A two-hour evening walking pub crawl in Liverpool with Beatles stories, three historic pub stops, and an easy finish at Pier Head.
“We had an excellent pub crawl and walking tour in Liverpool with Alex. We were the only two on Alex's tour and are most thankful that it wasn't canceled as it wasn't meant to be a private tour. Also, Alex had a full day even before our evening pub crawl having led a bike tour earlier in the day, with an event to follow after our crawl ended around 9. Alex took us to 3 historic pubs that we likely would never have found on our own. We had a great evening and conversation, and highly recommend the tour!”
Blackpool Christmas party night at Viva, with dinner before a curtain at about 8pm. Mobile ticket, over 16s, drinks extra.
“Very disappointed with the food for a party. It took 2.5 hours from starter to desert. Soup was like eating curry sauce. Carrots,sprouts were hard and Yorkshire pud . No salt,pepper,side sauce available . It was the only thing I Eaton this day but early hours of the morning I became unwell. The sat was terrible all day and night. Sick, severe pains in stomach ,back and to at the loo.. never had this in my life . Will not be going back”
Two hours of Benidorm-style nightlife in Liverpool with reserved seating, karaoke, bingo, drag hosts, and a drink included for about $10.
“Great few hours with good friends - 1 drink included with entry”
A private 3-hour LGBTQ+ nightlife walk in Soho with 2 included drinks, a custom route, and local stories, paced for you.
“Tom was wonderful. The tour was informative and entertaining. Learned some cool factoids about gay London, current and past. Tom was easy to spend time with, and was clearly sensitive to my interests. Highly recommended.”
Hop through Shoreditch’s best bars on a 12-stop, 2-hour pub crawl from Old Street, guided with a mobile ticket.

A small-group London pub crawl with historic taverns, British bar bites, and a Cockney singalong finale, led by Wesley.
“This was supposed to be a group tour, but all other people canceled before the trip. While this IS London I guess the rain was too much for everyone.”
By region, by ritual, and by what the weather is doing.
