For our first night in the city, our hostel recommended a pub crawl around Berlin. For €12, we could go to 5 bars, 1 club, get free shots, and 1 free beer. Doesn’t that sound great?

Yours truly, Sarah, and Annalisa!
We were part of a group of around 15 participants, not including our 3 tour guides from the UK and the US. Although it sounds like they provide us a lot of drinks, the shots of flavored schnapps were basically juice so I bought at least 2 drinks for myself during the entire night. Overall, the pub crawl was basically a fun way to meet other tourists and chat over some reasonably priced drinks.
Got my wrist stamped and got my free beer. Yummy!
On our crawl, we met a brother and sister duo who apparently work at Google (it’s hard to tell when people are telling the truth) and we also met some sketch guys also from the States who all made for interesting conversation. There was a group of 7 Parisian guys, but they spoke very little English so mainly kept to their group.

At the end of the crawl, the tour guides dropped us off at The Matrix night club where we were free to do whatever we wanted. The Matrix is apparently one of the largest nightclubs in Berlin. Sarah and Annalisa loved it (I agree, there were some really good looking guys), but I couldn’t really tell whether I liked it or not. It was still a really fun night and I would definitely recommend anyone to try at least one Pub Crawl when traveling around Europe!
