How to Plan a Stag Do Pub Crawl Route
A crawl is a route, not a random list of pubs. Here's how to build one that flows — and a generator that plots it for any town.
The free tool
🍻 Pub Crawl Route Generator
Plot a numbered crawl for any town — optimise for rough pubs, sports bars, food stops or the lot. Run it like a tour.
Try it free →Order it as a walk
Plot the venues as a logical line where each is a short walk from the last, moving toward your final destination — no doubling back across town. A slightly drunk group needs to walk it in order without getting lost.
Start wide, finish near the club
Begin in relaxed, group-friendly bars and finish near wherever the night ends, so the crawl delivers the group to the big finish rather than a thirty-minute stumble away.
Pace it and book ahead
Set a time per pub, build in a food stop, and encourage water — a crawl with no survivors isn't a crawl. And book the key stops: a big group rolling up with no reservation gets refused.
