We are gearing up for May's Downtown Pub Crawl!
It's Thursday May 13 so save the date now... I don't want any excuses this time!!
Did you get a chance to see the pictures from April's Tax Day Pub Crawl? They're pretty hilarious. Everybody had a great time... we're all a bunch of characters. Check out all of the shenanigans on Facebook.

The Pub Crawl starts at Dos Gatos at 6:00. We are working on the schedule so we'll post it here and on Facebook asap.
$15 gets you a ticket for free entry to all of the bars and two free drinks. You can buy tickets at the door at any stop of the crawl. Just find Stephanie or me. We'll also be selling tickets at the Art Walk!
YES THE May 5th ART WALK! We'll have a table in Hemming Plaza so come by, show your support & get your tickets early!

For sure!! What entertainment do you have that night??
Oh yes! This is going to be a lot of fun. The Ivy is going to have Kyle Hallman and guest singing live from 8p -12a along with a new DJ (DJ KGB) in the booth filling in the breaks with awesome feel good tunes of yesterday and today. With the Thirsty Thursday official after party and the PUB CRAWL downtown is sure to be smoking hot this Thursday and Friday!

I like your fireball martini idea!
I'll be there!
The word is definitely spreading about the crawls. I know lots of people who plan to be there that haven't been before. I'm so damn excited!!! ;D
I've met a lot of really cool people through the crawl and will definitely see you on Thursday. I'm ready for my two free drinks.
DVI also has their monthly Happy Hour this Thursday...meet at Burrito Gallery @ 5:30pm....then head over to Dos Gatos @6pm
This crawl is gonna be GREAT! City Hall Pub plans to be a stop on next month's Pub Crawl, but for now, we welcome you to our Rock Series Thursday after the crawl.
We're right behind the Jacksonville Suns stadium, so join in on our unofficial Suns' after party festivities.....
liquid courage is gonna make you extra brave, so try our signature jumbo 1901 wings (named after the Great Fire of 1901)
We'll have much more food, frozen drinks and live music from Stress and Jim and Jerry inside and on our outdoor stage.
Have a safe & happy crawl everyone : )

Sarah just called with killer news about the next pub crawls!
Also we have spoken with the other clubs downtown and it looks like we are going to definitely be expanding next months pub crawls with trolleys and more offerings. Tomorrow night is going to be pretty awesome. Some of the most interesting creatures in the city are going to be joining us for the first time, its going to be good conversation!
Yes & we need the troops together for the crawl tomorrow so it's as fun as possible so we can take it to the next level! DETAILS TO COME!!!

NO WAY!! The discomfort you may have tomorrow will be quickly forgotten every time you remember some random fun thing that happened the night before!! ;D
Red Bull, Vitamin Water & Advil. I'm back on my A game after that mix. HAHA!
Hey! What time does the Pub Crawl start tonight? ???
To quote J from Dos Gatos, "A hangover is a wonderful reminder of how much fun you had the night before."
Can't wait for the fun tonight. The Ivy will have our Friday Night special of Fireball Martinis available tonight for the Pub Crawlers.

Those all may work, but the best thing is to just keep drinking and recover Saturday when both parties are over. Woo-hoo!!
We are now getting live pics from CRAWLERS! Sweeeeet!
I'll post them soon ;D
I met BridgeTroll tonight! And many friendly people (Stephen must have introduced me to most of them) including an interesting character named Kirk, many pretty women with dazzling white teeth and short dresses, handsome men, some in suits and some in shorts, and, most importantly, had a date with Strider in the excitingly urbane downtown pubs.
Thanks MJ for putting this together. Good times. See all of you next month.
Deadgirl, you may have to change your screen name!
Good Morning sheclown! :) Great to meet you and Strider! I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and met loads of interesting people... Great time!
Ode to Pub Crawl:
Last night twas indeed a fantastic time
Therefore I thought I would create this rhyme
Many drinks were consumed and to no surprise
I woke up this morning with blood shot eyes
This day of work shall be a day from hell
Most likely due to the post-Crawl trip to Taco Bell
I was going to write more, but the "still drunk" aspect is starting to wear off and the hangover is setting in... Not a recipe for being poetic... ;)
I had an awesome time last night! Great to meet all of the new folks and good to see the familiar ones too!
Is it June yet??

Sorry that I missed the May Pub Crawl. I was working at the Sun's game and when I arrived to Ivy around 9:10 I was amazed at how many crawlers there were. It looked like a very fun crowd and I must say everyone was dressed very well. Sounds from the posts that I missed a very good crawl.
Great job to Metro Jacksonville on continuing to grow this event!
P.S. I would like to see this pic taken from on top of the bar.

We'll get those pics out ASAP! ;D
SO bummed I had to miss out. My night was miserable in comparison!
Dang, I missed another one! It's a fun time for sure as we can now see from these pix! I want to put out an SOS now that I see Samantha was there too! Mia is trying to find you for services, hint, hint. I also called the number you gave me on that cocktail napkin from the first crawl but you did not call back. We've lost your cell phone number. If you see this post will you send me a pm! Thanks!

Are you on Facebook?
I tweet only! I really, really don't want or need to add Facebook to my repertoire! Can't manage all as it is and that's more socially geared which is really not me as I like my privacy and anonymity! I guess I'm just weird that way! Or is it old fashioned?

Nope. I'm still learning Twitter. :-\ We each have our own preference!
Great job Metrojacksonville & crew!
Thanks to everyone who attended and for showing their support of Downtown Nightlife!
We DO appreciate it...

Have you set a date for the June Pub Crawl? Maybe with enough advance notice I can actually make it out on a school night.....
Thursday night IS fun in a sort of naughty-I-ought-to-be-doing-my-homework sort of way.
Maybe I should have stayed?
Metro Jacksonville Pub Crawl is insane amounts of funness! Love meeting new people, the quirky games at The Dive Bar, live music, drink specials, the bar owners meeting and mingling with their patrons, networking and blowing off steam. Absolute fabulousness all around. Is it June yet? I am honored to be the Pub Crawl photographer...truly do have such a great time with the "crawlers" hamming it up from venue to venue. It is great to meet as strangers at the first bar, and by the time we a crawl to the 7th (and we are crawling by then...and dancing) we are no longer strangers, but new friends.
Awesome night all around! Thursday is the New Friday. Next crawl Dos Gatos will have the John Earle band for post crawl throw down... We're going to keep making this a bigger event.
Thanks again for all your hard work.
Yours,
J, Joy and the DG crew

KGB is the Real Deal....One of the best Navy DJs in Jax. Glad that dude still around.
I had a blast at the Pub Crawl. Stephanie, Chelleby, and Stephen were very welcoming to all patrons. I wonder if the expanse of Stephen's memory is limited to pub crawlers' names, or perhaps more useful tidbits as well. He remembered absolutely everyone. Unfortunately I was only able to attend half the crawl, but we left the Suns game early to meet back up with the group. I hope to be present (physically at least) for the entire crawl next time.
