There are several great bars that would like to be included in our fabulous pub crawl!
Mavericks, Twisted Martini, The Sinclair & 331.
Should we try to add these to the current crawl, adding a lot more walking, or create a West End Downtown Crawl?
Any other spots you'd like to see added?
Any way you can get one of those trolleys running for it?
in eventuality you should be hitting every little hot spot in Jacksonville. I'd suggest spreading each crawl out so while you're reviewing each bar you can have the added question to the locals, "what badass bars are around in this area?"
Think of scooby doo and the gang splitting up. Divide and drunken stupor.

We are considering a trolley or a party bus. Right now, the bars on the Pub Crawl are withing walking distance. If we add more, we'll want a trolley... OR if we do a totally separate west end crawl. We are planning on using one for the Riverside/Avondale crawl.

Haha! Love Scooby Doo! I always wanted to be Daphne. I'm more Velma though LOL!
Yes, we plan to attack the rest of Jacksonville with a Pub Crawl once the Downtown one is up and running. There are a lot of baddass bars that are still well hidden. Got any favorites?
I say we do a West End crawl at first and then alternate between West End and East end or incorporate a trolley. We could talk the Skyline lounge at the top of the BOA building into doing a happy hour for the next crawl!! Currently they only do happy hour from 6:00 - 8:00 on Wednesdays and Fridays. We could hit The Sinclair, Cafe 331, Da Real Ting (?), Skyline Lounge and Landing Bars.
I'm sure they would be down. They've closed up shop early a few nights due to low attendance at their happy hours. It's a shame b/c its a great place to have a drink or two after work. Sure as heck beats the River Club!

Before joining the "After Party" at Dos Gatos on the last Crawl I met some friends at the London Bridge. They have plenty of room, a cool theme, good jukebox, and a full kitchen, not to mention that they are a DT staple! The food alone may make them a good addition for our fellow Crawlers who may sacrifice dinner to support DT business instead of fleeing to SS / Beaches.

London Bridge is a cool place. We have contacted them & are currently trying to figure out where/when/how to design the next crawl. Thanks!
How about we hold on Twisted until they lose the memorial to the old Wolfson Park.
I'd definitely like to see 331 added to the list, really like the venue, and since they do have the full kitchen which is open till I think at least 1 or 2, it might not be a bad place to end the night to get the food and drinks covered. Also with The Sinclair under new ownership, I'm sure they'd love any business brought in. And that's another place that I personally love the decor and vibe of it. So if there was a way to add them to a pub crawl, by way of trolley or party bus I'd love to be a part of it.
^ the trough is in
I say add London Bridge, PLS, and the back deck at Burrito Gallery, as well as Skyline Lounge, 331, Sinclair to a west end crawl. I'm a little hesitant to add Da Real Ting. Also, I say hold off on the Landing Bars.
