| Barbian Pub Crawl (Plymouth)
An excellent selection of pubs, this crawl is an amalgamation of a couple often used by the University Real Ale Society.
Starting point:
Minerva Inn (pricey, but historically interesting little pub).
Then:
The Cider Press (good range of beers, usually the cheapest, and on the waterfront)
Dolphin Inn (couple of beers on, straight from the barrel - festival style)
The Fishermans Arms (up some steps around the back - always plenty of St Austells beer and excellent food)
Finish at:
Gog and Magog (decent beer for a Wetherspoons, always a good selection and the latest closing time)
Also consider:
The Navy Inn and The Admiral McBride (suggested by sjghr) | |

| Darts pub crawl in the City of london.
.
.
Starting at the Mail coach near Liverpool Street...3 dart boards with great staff..move up to the Ship in Leadenhall Market, not great venue but does have a dartsboard.Head towards Aldgate and pop in the Three Lords and the Scarbough Arms which both have darts and are friendly, Beware not to go into Pickwicks or The Peacock (both dirty and dodgy).... back into the City, The Porters Lodge,.. but you have to reserve dart boards there as it gets very busy with darts players...Then you head over to the Loose Cannon...a little gem with a couple of boards...up towards Farringdon to the Horseshoe, like the Porters Lodge its darts heaven...then Finish at the White Swan and try to at least hit the dartsboard after all that drink.

| THE KINGSTON TO WATERLOO CRAWL
This crawl can be done frmo any station to Waterloo. The reason that I have chosen Kingston is that that is my usual starting point. All you will need is a return train ticket to Waterloo to whatever stop you are travelling from as you can brake your journey. Trains from Kingston and stations up to Waterloo run every 15 mins so no long waits between pubs. These pubs are suggestions however the drinker can decide their own detinations.
OK here goes
Kingston - start off at The Wych Elm which is 5 mins walk from Kingston station and has a lovely beer garden.
Norbition - you can then either get the train or do the 10 min walk to The Albert Arms - a Youngs Pub which is a little pricey but probably the nicetst in the area
New Malden - hop on the train from Norbiton for the 2 min train ride and take a 5min stroll to The Royal Oak - probably the pick of the pubs in that part of New Malden, or any part for that matter
Raynes Park - go to The Junction Tavern - maybe just for a swift half then head onwards
Wimbledon - there are many lovely watering holes in The Village in close proximity to the Common however I would head to The Prince of Wales across the road due to the fact that the village is a 20 min walk(all uphill) and there a more places to go.
Earlsfield - head to The Halfway House(Youngs). The food here is good but perhaps a little pricey if anyone is feeling like they need to line their stomach.
Clapham Junction - again if you are adventurous then you could find some interesting places however for convenience and the fact that you are on a crawl then I would head to The Falcon which isnt spectacular but you cannot really go wrong with it
Vauxhall - nearly there now. Head now to The Beerhive, a decent unpretentious boozer located right next to The Oval
Waterloo - you have reached your destination where this train terminates - all change! Pop over to The Wellington - they had some interesting beers on when I last went.
Kingston - Crawl ends. Make sure bladders are emptied and take the train 25 mins back to Kingston. If it is still light and a nice day I would suggest ending off in The Boaters Inn set in picturesque surroundings next to the River or if its dark then it has to be The Grey Horse where you may well get live music! ! !

| Wrexham, North Wales.
Bar facilities are generally only available to home supporters at present.� The Mold Road Stand contains The Changing Rooms Restaurant, which provides dining and bar facilities for patrons, as well as a bar in the main concourse for supporters.
The Sainsbury�s Stand also offers dining and bar facilities for supporters and both sets of directors in the Executive seats, but also the Centenary Club is open on match-day and visiting supporters are admitted for a nominal charge.
Near the ground
There are two pubs within the immediate vicinity of the ground.� Prior to the completion of The Mold Road Stand in 1999, the Turf pub was actually in the record books for being contained within the ground with a viewing balcony overlooked the pitch. Marston�s Brewery have recently given this historic pub a major refurbishment providing comfortable surroundings and bar meals, but arrive early as the pub tends to become very packed before a game. �Doormen supervise entry to the pub on match day. Despite the clientele being predominantly home supporters, friendly visiting supporters can freely mingle in the hustle and bustle of this busy pub.�
�
The Plas Coch is also a popular choice for home and visiting supporters.� This modern Banks� pub can be found on the nearby retail estate.� Just past Homebase and near Sainsbury�s, the Plas Coch pub provides a relaxed atmosphere with a decent choice of food for early arrivals and a sizeable beer garden.� It is worth noting that the pub tends to stay closed for notorious �derby� games.
�
There are two other public houses within easy walking distance of The Racecourse.� The easiest way to get to The Walnut is to walk down Crispin Lane, which is adjacent to the back of the Kop, take a right turn at the junction leading under the railway bridge and you will find the pub at the top of a gentle hill.
The same directions apply for The Railway Inn, but instead take a left-turn at the junction and you will find this popular local roughly behind a bicycle shop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrexham town centre
Wrexham town centre is rich in pubs, wine-bars and nightclubs.� Like every town or city in Britain the main street has been turned into a �strip� of watering holes and Wrexham is certainly no exception!
Wrexham town centre is only a ten minute walk from the visiting supporters� turnstiles or five minutes from Wrexham General Railway Station which is adjacent to the home Kop end.�
Coming out of Wrexham General Railway Station (which is adjacent to the back of the home supporters� Kop) turn left and take the short walk into town.� The Wrexham Lager Club is the first watering hole and sensible and family supporters might be able to talk themselves past the doormen for bar snacks and a very reasonably priced pint!
The first pub in town (or the last if you�re walking back to the ground) is Wetherspoons� Elihu Yale. �This familiar high-street chain of pubs offers a varied selection of very reasonable prices beers, as well as traditional pub bar snacks and a non-smoking area.� There are two Wetherspoons outlets in the town, the other can be found on High Street, and it must be noted that with high-profile matches the doors will be heavily supervised or even shut.
�
Just around the corner from Wetherspoons, behind the recently refurbished Bus Station, you will find The Thirsty Scholar and Fat Cat Caf� Bar
Before the Bus Station�s new-look and the introduction of CCTV, the Thirst Scholar pub and immediate area had a reputation for being a favourite haunt of the hooligan element which attaches itself to the club.� It must be said though that in more recent times the pub has made local headlines for all the good reasons, but general common sense is always a useful commodity where ever you go.
�
The Fat Cat Caf� Bar is contained within the Bus Station offering an up-market menu in rather plush surroundings.� Prices are quite reasonable with a few of the top-notch lagers available at affordable prices.
Heading deeper into the town centre down Regent Street (past McDonalds and Woolworth�s on the left and Boots on the right) you will come across a pub which in itself is a famous Wrexham landmark.� The thatched Horse and Jockey looks out of place amongst its surroundings. It is often re-visited season-after-season by visiting teams� fans that enjoyed the atmosphere, the beer (Cask Tetley Bitter and Mild and draught Lowenbr�u) and the characters supping their pints and nipping out to place their bets in the adjacent William Hill�s Bookmakers.� The pub offers good bar meals although on matchday the dining area can become swamped by drinkers.� The low ceiling pub has survived many fires over the years, the most recent being in September 2004 when all adjacent buildings were gutted with the pub remaining remarkably untouched.
The side street adjacent to the Horse and Jockey (towards the Island Green shopping centre and Wrexham Central Railway Station) leads you to the more sophisticated Yales Caf� Bar.� The varied in-expensive menu in a relaxed atmosphere might be tempting after a long journey.� Central Station Nightclub which is above Yale�s� is worth considering for the overnight visitor to the town.� The Club varies with dance nights as well as live acts at the venue.
Returning back to the Horse and Jockey and the main shopping street, head further down Hope Street to the junction situated by Burger King. The side street (Queen Street) reveals The Talbot, Wrexham�s only cellar bar which is a popular night time Jazz venue.� Menu boards outside the bar advertise the current drink promotions and menu.
Continuing your journey down Hope Street (past Burger King and Marks & Spencer) you arrive at a crossroads with St Gyles Parish Church in front of you.� You have now reached the epicentre of Wrexham�s pub and club land.� To your left is High Street, with the Wynnstay Hotel at the end of the street, and to your right is Town Hill which slopes down to Bridge Street.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Street
High Street has a large concentration of watering holes seemingly man-made for the proverbial pub-crawl.� Milliners (Irish theme bar) is highly recommended as is the historic Golden Lion which serves a good pint of draught Bass and also serves pub food.�
�
�Lloyds No.1 is the town�s second Wetherspoons outlet and is one of the pub chains exceptions in playing background music.� This converted bank provides offers very reasonably priced pub food.
�
The Wynnstay Hotel also has a pleasant recently refurbished public bar serving bar snacks.� Before heading back up High Street to investigate the pubs and wine bars on the other side of the road, there are also two other pubs within easy walking distance. The Old Vaults, a �spit n sawdust� pub, recently featured on Sky One�s Toughest Pubs 3 is just around the corner from the Lloyds No.1 and the Wynnstay Hotel.� It must be said however, that the pub is hardly regarded by towns folk as being a rough pub, but certainly attracts its fair share of characters in every shape and form.� Heading in the opposite direction from the Wynnstay Hotel and down a slight hill you will find the Nags Head which is a pleasant pub for food and a pint although football fans aren�t over welcome.
�
On the other side of High Street you will find The Cosmopolitan which is of the wine bar variety. Next stop is Yates� Wine Lodge which can on fixtures of notoriety produce a very volatile atmospheres. Virtually next door it�s the Royal Oak (formerly the notorious Embassy) which hardly resembles times of old due to refurbishment and serves up a good pint of Bass beer. �Chequers Wine bar (more a night venue) sits in the side street leading to St Gyles Parish Church before you are ready to investigate the other half of the �strip� that is Town Hill.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Town Hill
Passing St Gyles Church and heading down Town Hill there are an assortment of new wine bars and pubs to be found. It must be mentioned that a slight detour on the adjacent road (Abbott Street) provides another Irish theme bar Murphy�s and Sugar Reef (formerly the Cross Foxes). �This road is also a useful short-cut back up to the main shopping street near the afore mentioned Yales Caf� Bar
Back on Town Hill you might notice the upmarket restaurant Caf� Zouk.� Nearby are wine bars One to Five with bars on two-storeys and Honky Tonks which offers drinks from as little as �1 a throw.
The popular Barracuda Bar is also located on this min-strip of pubs and wine bars.� The South African themed bar can get very busy on matchday or when sporting events are shown on the many TV screens
Further down the hill you will notice trendy priced wine bar Central Station on the opposite side of the road just before a crossroads. College Street has two side-by-side pubs.� The Cambrian Vaults which has changed from a notorious boozer of old to a pleasant and lively pub.� Next door is The Commercial Inn� which is acknowledged as the oldest pub in Wrexham.� Both pubs offer the typical bar snack menu though like most pubs on a particularly busy matchday can be perhaps overwhelmed by drinkers.
Town Hill merges into Bridge Street and Brook Street ( Wrexham�s club land ) but, with even more pubs at close hand, unless you are a remarkable drinker, it�s time to get back to the ground
