On our Insider’s Pub Crawl you’ll visit four iconic D.C. bars with an expert local guide who will share the unknown stories of the nation’s capital. Enjoy craft beer with fellow crawlers from around the globe and learn the history they left out in 8th-grade social studies class.
The route of the pub crawls depends on a few different factors like day of the week and size of the crawl. Therefore, we won’t know the exact route until the crawl starts. All of the bars we visit are iconic D.C. bars located around The White House.
By law, all guests must be at least 21 years old and have proper ID even if the guest is not going to drink. Therefore, we cannot allow anyone under the age of 21 on the crawl, including children and infants.
