01 When is the Tokyo Pub Crawl?
We have events every Friday and Saturday, and sometimes Tuesdays. Check the current schedule here.
02 What do I get?
Each pub crawl member receives:
  • Free welcome shots at each bar/club
  • Free shots between bars
  • Discounted drinks at all bars, usually around 50% off
  • No extra cover charges for the bars or clubs on the crawl
  • Access to a club at the end of the night
  • Games and contests throughout the night
03 How much is it?
¥3500 for men and ¥2000 for women (limited ladies discount tickets). You can get a 20% discount when you buy tickets online.
04 Is it a good deal?
Yes. Tokyo can be expensive, so we try to keep the night affordable while still giving you a full experience. Pub crawl drink discounts are usually around 40–50% off, each person gets 3–4 welcome shots plus additional liquor between bars, and regular club entry can cost around ¥3000–¥5000.

And if you genuinely do not have a good time, ask us and we are happy to refund your money.

05 Why do women pay less?
Many Tokyo bars and clubs have traditionally offered discounts to women. We want to make sure women receive similar value with us compared with other nightlife options in Tokyo.
06 Do you offer discounts?
Yes. Current discounts include:
  • Advance ticket purchase — buy online and save
  • Free entry for the birthday person when bringing 10 or more friends, plus a birthday present
  • ¥1000 off entry for women
  • ¥500 off if you return Saturday with your Friday wristband
  • Group discounts — contact us to ask
07 How do I join?
We highly recommend signing up in advance. Choose the appropriate date on the Events page and follow the instructions. Walk-ins are usually okay too, but some nights can reach capacity.
08 What is the drinking age in Tokyo?
You must be 20 years old to consume alcohol in Tokyo.
09 Should I bring photo ID?
Definitely. Many bars may not check ID, but clubs often do. Bring identification that clearly shows your date of birth.
10 What time do you start?
Friday and Saturday events start at 7:00 PM. We normally remain at the first bar until around 8:30 PM, and we recommend arriving by 8:00 PM for the welcome speech. If you are late, we will do our best to catch you up.
11 Where do you meet?
The meeting location is Bar Propaganda in Roppongi. Please check your event page as well in case anything changes.
12 How long do you stay at each bar or club?
We normally stay around 60–80 minutes at each location.
13 A lot of my friends want to come. Can we all join?
Absolutely. The more, the merrier. For larger groups, please sign up in advance when possible.
14 Will there be drink specials at each bar and club?
Yes. In addition to the free shot at each bar, you receive exclusive drink specials. In many cases drinks are around 50% off the regular price. Look for the special Tokyo Pub Crawl menu.
15 Will I know the next bar or club on the route?
We change the bars from event to event, and the route is kept secret. Gotta keep it exciting.
16 Can I stay at a bar or club I really like?
Of course. If you decide to stay at a location instead of continuing with the group, please tell a Tokyo Pub Crawl crew member so we know you are okay and are not waiting for you.
17 How will venue staff know I am part of the crawl?
Special wristbands are distributed to pub crawlers, and Tokyo Pub Crawl crew members coordinate with venue staff.
18 How long can I stay at the last club?
You can stay all night. Many bars and clubs close around 6:00 AM, and there are after-hours options after that. If you want to catch the last train, keep in mind that service to many areas ends around 11:45 PM–12:15 AM. Ask our staff if you need help.
19 What club will we end up at?
The final club varies from event to event, but the meeting point and last stop are almost always in the same local area.
20 I cannot make the 7:00 PM start. Can I still join?
Yes. We usually stay at the first bar for at least an hour, so late arrival is okay. If you miss us there, the bar staff may know where the group went. You can also check Google Maps or message us on Instagram, although we may not see messages immediately during the event.

If you know you will be late, let us know. Arriving late can mean missing some free shots or giveaways, but we will do our best to catch you up.
