Best Eastern Europe Pub Crawls


Nightlife - pub crawl in eastern europe
First of all, what is a pub crawl? A pub crawl or bar hopping in these modern days, it's an organized scouting for fun, party with a group of people from one bar to another tasting drinks, sampling the nightlife and the best and last part of the evening, a nightclub.


What makes it a good idea is simple, normally if you decide to try to find a good place on your own, you can get redirected by the wrong person and end up ruining your short stay, I've been in lots of hotels where the receptionist sent me to a fancy club, which was nice, but far from what I was expecting, not to mention that in Serbia where I had this experience, all the name of the streets are in something similar to Russian characters. So that's were I spent most of my money, in the taxi and the pricey cover. On a next occasion in Budapest, while staying at a hostel, one of the staff promised to take us out, I have to admit it was a fun night, however the alcohol was horrible and the places uninteresting, well I should have figured out that the locals are not traveling as me and they are not willing to spend money. 

So to avoid any of these situations, here are a couple of recommendations to make the best out of those weekend or short trips to Eastern Europe:

Travel to Eastern Europe and Party - The communism is gone

The European continent is a source of entertainment, Europe's nightlife is famous all around the world  for spots such as Amsterdam where almost everything that is banned or illegal in your country is allowed in the Netherlands, Ibiza : Spain has the reputation of the best nightclubs in the entire planet and the party going on till... the next day (s), Berlin is much more than another stop, full of modern artistic manifestations; Dublin and the  overrated beer yet not the overrated Polish party girls which everyday outnumber the locals; Stockholm : deceiving, actually the party city in Sweden is Malmö,  etc...

But ever wondered where the party capital is? Where do all Europeans go when they fly away from home to avoid the flock of tourists coming from the American continent to invade their cities. EASTERN EUROPE.
But don't get fooled, not because geographically speaking a city is designed as the capital, it means there is something going on, a good example would be Warsaw : Poland, which in comparison to Krakow has nothing to offer.

Advantages of nightlife in  The Eastern block which comprehend from the Baltic to the Balkans:
1. Price - All drinks are cheaper, as of January 2011 a pint of beer in Prague is 2 Euros in an Expensive Club while in Berlin is Average 4 Euros in a corner pub.
2. People - In eastern Europe the immigration numbers are low, meaning if you go Bulgaria you will find Bulgarians
3. Places - Prepare to see really new places and explore what you haven't seen in the national geographic.
