The Strategy

26 pubs might seem like a tall order, and it is if you have a pint in each one. Since we would prefer to finish the whole route rather than pass out halfway through it is advisable to go for a half pint (aka Middy) in each. 


There's usually at least half an hour to spare at the last pub for more drinking. It's a fun day out whether you're drinking or not. If you are drinking, you can make it a lot easier on yourself by eating at every possible opportunity and by drinking water as the day goes on.

Please drink within your limits. Remember that landlords, bouncers and patrons are not going to be too happy with a huge crowd of loud drunkards turning up for quick half. So it's best to try to keep to a reasonable level of sobriety and volume if you want to finish the crawl. If there are is a large group of you, try to split up into smaller groups near the end and go into different pubs if there's more than one available.


Most importantly, remember to stay safe while doing the crawl. It's easy to think you're invincible when you've had a bit to drink, so be careful of the Sydney roads and follow the Green Cross Code!
