DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME!! The website makes it look like your going to have a "night of your life" experience. Upon arrival I spotted Jared right away, he just had that douchebag look to him. We signed the waiver, got our wrist band and drink ticket and made our way to the bar for our "welcoming shot" of which the bar pre-selects. I knew then that my hope of having a "night of my life" experience was dwindling. We received our pre-selected shot, prepare ourselves for this mystery orange substance served in a plastic shot glass the size of a thimble, only to be surprised with a shot of SunnyD orange juice. How nice of them to make sure we got our daily dose of vitamin C.
We made our way to the second bar, the tap house. That is a restaurant and I felt super bad for the patrons that we're having dinner and trying to have a nice night themselves, we invaded their space like a bunch of a-holes. When we asked Jared if there was any alcohol in the first shot, his reply was "a good bartender knows how to mix drinks so you don't taste the alcohol", which is a great answer but not the case in this situation. That was the funnest bar of the night. We were presented with yet another orange substance served in a plastic cup the size of a thimble, this time though we could taste a hint of tequila! We took that as a win! There was a band and we received drinks we purchased in a timely manner. Danced with some other bachelorette party on the small dance floor and had a decent time
Jared herded us to the next bar, a hookah bar, eewww! We were greeted at the door with a jello shots, which was rather nice but were probably just shots of jello. The bathrooms were a little rough but other than that it was clean and didn't smell as I expected it would. (I know I'm a weirdo) the music was good, the bar was empty so the service was quick and there was plenty of seating! Then comes the famous "tator tot appetizer" which were exactly what is stated on the website. I guess I was thinking it would have been some sort of fancy tator-tot, like a tator-tot bar kind of thing.
At this point we all kind of feel sober. Or not as drunk as we were expecting/wanted to be,b we were just moving through the motions and trying to make a blah time into something fun for the bride. And we were kind of worried about the next stops experience, so we opted to leave the crawl and do our own thing.
Jared has the perfect scam going on here! He stated that there was about 70 people on the crawl, all paying $50, that's $3,500. To herd a group of people to 4 bars, serve them tiny thimbles of juice and some tator-tots. I'm sure he gets some sort of kick back from the bars because the crawl is SO early that the group hits them in their off peak hours, so it's a win for the bar too! What over head is there? A website? Even the online payment portal fee's are passed on to us! Oh wait, let's not forget the cost of the fancy tator-tots....
I see that the owner Jared replies to pretty much all the bad reviews and starts them out apologizing then shows his true colors by claiming the poster was the ONLY one that didn't have fun, well he been doing this every weekend for the past 3 yrs it looks like, that's approx 3,700 people a year (based on 70 people and only Saturdays, 52 weeks in a yr) for 3 years that's approx 11,000 people that have participated in his pub crawl, and there's ONLY 126 reviews, what does that say about this pub crawl? If EVERYONE but the select few had all that fun, where are the reviews to reflect that? Do yourself a favor and it alone! You're responses show your douchebaggery!
Oh and I'm not leaving a bad review because we didn't win the scavenger hunt, we were never given a scavenger hunt to participate in! read more
