Stuttgart: Private pub crawl with insider-guide & free shots

If you’re looking to experience Stuttgart after dark, this private pub crawl offers an engaging way to see the city’s bar scene. For $409 per group of up to 12 people, you’ll spend about 4 hours weaving through 3-4 carefully selected venues, with an insider guide leading the way. The tour promises guaranteed entry, reserved spots, and plenty of free shots to keep the energy high.

What makes this experience particularly appealing? First, the personalized attention from your dedicated guide—Maik, as one reviewer mentioned, was “a very nice guide” who kept the vibe lively.

This private pub crawl in Stuttgart provides just that, along with a chance to enjoy the city’s vibrant bar scene.

The Itinerary in Detail

Your evening begins at the Nachtwächterbrunnen, the starting point where your guide will be easily recognizable in an orange safety vest. This meeting spot sets the tone for a relaxed, friendly night. From there, the tour takes you through 3-4 local bars, each with a distinct vibe and drink offerings—ranging from beers and cocktails to spirits and wines.

Each stop lasts about an hour, giving you ample time to chat, soak in the atmosphere, and sample the drinks on offer. The inclusion of free shots at each bar adds an element of fun and spontaneity—expect to get a warm-up shot at the start, with additional shots in each venue.

The Bars and Atmosphere

While the tour doesn’t specify the names of the bars, it emphasizes local favorites rather than tourist-heavy spots. That’s a big plus if you want to discover what locals enjoy after hours. One of the reviews highlights the great bars and good value for money, which means you’ll probably find a mix of cozy taverns and lively spots, perfect for different moods.

The Guide and Experience

The guide, Maik, is praised for his good vibes and knowledge, making the night more enjoyable. We loved the way guides can set the tone for a fun night, keeping everyone engaged and responsible.

One reviewer mentioned the lack of the drinking games—they expected more organized fun but found only a basic city quiz. Still, most felt the guide’s enthusiasm and the inclusion of free shots elevated the experience.
