**[Early Bird Discount](www.eventbrite.com/e/1987332173027/?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.

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”.
