Best wishes to you on this first day of summer.  Happy pub crawling this season!

We can across a NYTimes article, which describes spots to catch the matches, sorted by participating nation.  Not all spots are bars, as some are restaurants or social clubs.  We’ve been to nearly all the bars listed in this article and look forward to visiting the ones we haven’t been to yet.

Here are a few spots to hit for a Flag Day 2018 NYC bar crawl:

Fraunces Tavern, 54 Pearl Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. George Washington hung out here.

Loopy Doopy, rooftop bar atop Conrad Hotel in Battery Park City.  Great view of Statue of Liberty and the relatively late sunset.

Pete’s Tavern, 18th Street & Irving Place in Manhattan’s Gramercy section.  Among the oldest bars in Manhattan.

Our NYC Bar of the Day: Kettle of Fish, located at 59 Christopher Street in Manhattan’s West Village.

Memorial Day weekend just may be our favorite weekend of the year here at Pub Crawl NYC.  Sometimes, the weekend is an opportunity for a quick trip out of town; other times, it’s great to stick around town and go on a NYC bar crawl or three.  As the weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer, the weather almost always delivers (though this weekend may be an exception).  It was on this weekend long ago that we participated in our very first bar crawl and we’ve been a big fan of bar crawls ever since!  So, whether you’re staying in town or traveling for the long weekend, have a great time, stay safe and happy pub crawling!

Not long after our NYC bar crawl in Lower Manhattan, we had the opportunity to pub crawl in Astoria, Queens.  We always have a great time bar hopping in Astoria.  We’ll share a few thoughts on our recent Astoria visit in the coming days.

We recently went NYC bar hopping in Chelsea and Greenwich Village, visiting spots such as The Woodstock and Bar Freud.  In the coming days, we’ll share some brief thoughts on those two spots, among others.  Stay tuned.

Save water, drink beer!

It was 85 years ago today that the first part of repeal of Prohibition took place, making beer legal again in the United States.  How will you mark the occasion?

How will you celebrate Scottish Pride today?  Our NYC Bar(s) of the Day: Caledonia Pub, which has two Manhattan locations; one at 1609 Second Avenue and the other at 424 Amsterdam Avenue.
