Social Pub Crawl
**[Early Bird Discount](www.eventbrite.com/e/1981617157261/?discount=Meetup)**
### ✨ What Is the Social Pub Crawl?
A relaxed and social pub crawl designed to help people connect naturally while enjoying a night out in Dublin.
This is **not a massive party crawl** and not a tourist tour.
It’s a friendly, international experience where drinks, short social games and good conversations come together in an easy and natural way.
Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group.
### 🍻 How It Works
We’ll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30–40 minutes in each one**.
At every stop, the organizer will run a **short and simple social activity**.
These games are designed to:
* Break the ice naturally
* Help people interact without pressure
* Work well in busy, noisy pubs
Between activities, there’s plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
🏆 In each activity, points are awarded to several participants.
At the end of the night, **the 3 people with the most points win a free drink**.
### 🍀 Who Is This Event For?
Absolutely everyone.
New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people — all are welcome.
You don’t need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be “good at games”.
The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way.
### 💬 A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere
Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going.
Come alone or with friends — you’ll feel comfortable from the very beginning.
To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**.
### 🕕 Practical Details
• **Time:** 18:00 – 21:30
• **Group size:** Limited
• **Location:** In front of the Odeon! (next to the Iveagh Gardens)
### 💸 Entry
• **€7,5 [Advance ticket](www.eventbrite.com/e/1981617157261/?discount=Meetup)**
• **€10 Pay at the start**
🟡 Regular Members: **50% off**
🔵 Theme Members: **Free**
🟣 Complete Members: **Free**

For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.
