If you’re looking for a St. Patrick’s Day NYC bar crawl this weekend, here are a few choices for a pub crawl:
Pubcrawls.com is sponsoring numerous NYC pub crawls around the city on March 14, 15 and 17. More info here: http://pubcrawls.com/saint-paddys-pub-crawl-new-york.php
Lindy Promotions is sponsoring its Greenwich Village Irish Stroll on Saturday, March 15. More info here: http://www.lindypromo.com/event/greenwich-village-irish-stroll/
A new addition to the Greenwich Village NYC beer bar crawl! Taking over the former Hea space at 106 Third Avenue, Brazen Fox is a 24-tap craft beer spot that is a welcomed addition to the stretch of bars along the southern-most portion of Third Avenue. Bi-level and fairly spacious, Brazen Fox rotates its taps every two weeks or so (a must for a good craft-beer bar). The bar snacks (chicken wings, pretzel bites and risotto balls, to name a few) are excellent. Add in the friendly staff and this place must be included on any craft-beer focused NYC bar crawl through this part of town!
Available at Red Cork, a wine/tapas bar on West 58th Street, across from the Time Warner Center.
A recent Thrillist article (http://dld.bz/dhGww) outlined two suggested Brooklyn pub crawls, featuring the recently-opened distilleries in the borough. Both bar crawls sound intriguing. The first pub crawl highlights Greenpoint/Williamsburg and the second bar crawl traverses Red Hook. Of the seven distilleries across the two NYC pub crawls, we’ve had the pleasure of visiting Cacao Prieto Distillery and the New York Distilling Co. The latter of which we highly recommend visiting. It’s a good stop for any NYC bar crawl around Williamsburg.
at Tribeca’s Maslow 6 wine and beer bar.
Our favorite non-holiday random calendar day of the year! The arrival of the First Saturday of March is very meaningful to us at Pub Crawl NYC. Though the calendar still says winter, March marks the end of the super-cold, long, dark winter months of December, January and February. Spring (and good pub crawling weather) is just ahead.
And if you’re looking for a pub crawl today, here are two options:

A recent NY Times article that we came to our attention: http://dld.bz/dhGv7. This article describes the closing of pubs in and around the city of London. For a number of reasons (among others, higher rents, decreasing popularity of beer in England), pubs are closing for business.
Our thoughts:
We hope this trend reverses. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting London twice and there’s really nothing quite like the English pub here in NYC. We suppose Pound & Pence in Manhattan’s Financial District comes the closest. Either way, if/when you visit London, be sure to do a pub crawl while there!
We had the pleasure of visiting Black Crescent on a recent NYC pub crawl along Clinton Street. Located at 79 Clinton Street, Black Crescent is a solid cocktail bar for this part of the Lower East Side. The cocktails are relatively inexpensive at 11-12 bucks a piece (well, inexpensive for Manhattan). Happy Hour brings some of those prices below $10! Oysters available nightly. Add in the friendly staff and we look forward to returning.
Some bars on our NYC pub crawling radar: In Manhattan’s Financial District, another bar for the Stone Street NYC bar crawl: Bavaria Bierhaus, a German beer and food spot. Over in the Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Botanic Lab, a cocktail bar, at 86 Orchard Street. And just across the East River and a little bit north, on the Greenpoint/Williamsburg border at 7 N. 15th Street, is Dirck the Norseman. We gather that this spot is another German beer and food establishment. We hope it’s a good addition to the Greenpoint NYC beer bar crawl. Reviews forthcoming on these three spots.
