A Fun Night Out in Hamburg: The Night PubCrawl Tour – Shots and Party!
If you’re looking to get a real taste of Hamburg’s lively nightlife scene, the Night PubCrawl Tour in Hamburg offers an energetic, sociable way to do it. For around $25.47 per person, you’ll spend roughly four hours hopping between four different bars, starting at Beatles-Platz and ending back where you began. Led by a knowledgeable guide, this pub crawl features welcome shots, a free shot in each bar, and free shots on the way—while supplies last. It’s a straightforward, fun way to meet fellow travelers and explore some of Hamburg’s less touristy drinking spots.
What we love about this experience is how inclusive it is — it welcomes most travelers aged 18 and up and keeps the energy lively with friendly guides who take you to places you might not normally discover on your own. Two standout points are the free shots at every stop, making the price quite good value, and the vibrant, global atmosphere that keeps the night interesting.
One potential consideration is that additional drinks and food are not included, so if you’re hungry or want more than shots, you’ll need to budget for that separately. Also, the tour can get crowded, with up to 50 travelers, so if you prefer a quieter, more intimate experience, this might not be your ideal choice.
This tour is perfect for young travelers, groups of friends, or anyone eager to socialize. If you enjoy a lively, guided pub crawl where the focus is on fun and meeting new people, you’ll find this experience worth every euro.
