The Crafty Walk — Pay As You Pour
Life's too short to drink shit beer — or to pay for pints you didn't want.

This is the same walk that's earned Crafty Tours its name: five of Dublin's best pubs, three hours of banter and history, and a local guide who's spent 25+ years learning which taps are worth your time. The only difference? The drinks are on you — so you set the pace, and you set the spend.

Most groups go hard on the first pint, then settle into glasses and tasters as the afternoon rolls on. This tour is built around that. No fixed rounds, no "one pint per pub whether you like it or not." Fancy a full pint at the craft bar and just a half of stout at the Stag's Head? Grand. You drink what you want, and only pay for what's in your hand.

What's included

• A proper guided walk through five hand-picked pubs, led by a local (that's me — Michael)
• Stories, history, and insider tips you won't find in a guidebook
• Help picking the right beer at every stop — no menu paralysis
• A small group, capped at 10, so it feels like an afternoon with mates

What's not included

• Food and drinks — you buy your own as you go (budget roughly €6–9 a pint)
• That's the whole point: cheaper ticket, total flexibility, drink at your own pace

The route — 5 pubs, 3 hours, 800m of easy walking
From Dublin's original craft brewery to a fresh pour from one of the city's newest, we hit traditional stout houses, a craft-lover's paradise, and a lively modern bar to finish. Same celebrated lineup as our flagship tour.

When & where

• Saturdays & Sundays at 12:30pm
• Meet at Tapped Bar, 47 Nassau St — two minutes from Trinity College
• Look for the big grin. First pint's on you this time, but the craic's still free.
