As always, the Bar Crawl tour is free, but the driver, Lenbert Williams, does accept tips. To join in on the fun, contact Lenbert at bananaznegril@hotmail.com or call him at 876-874 6631.
Never too early to book :)
Thank you T&A!!!
I just went on Friday and it was SO much fun. We only had a small group, so we didn't get too crazy, but it was really nice to get to know the other folks (a Brit couple and four friends, one a couple, from Toronto). We really loved our first stop, to the home of the justice of the peace (her name is escaping me - Ms. Grace?) - it was really cool to be in a home. She had saltfish and ackee fritters for us with an amazing dipping sauce. It was really awesome to go to some of the 'famed' places on the West End, even though we were staying there, we probably wouldn't have gotten to those places since walking more than a piece down the road was a bit hazardous (but don't get me wrong, we walked a good bit, but the places we went to were much further than we walked!). Enjoy! :) Lenbert is fun. :)
If you're not going until next year, you have plenty of time! The bus can get very crowded, it has been beyond standing-room-only when my wife and I went, she ended up sitting in my lap because there was absolutely no room to squeeze even one more person on the bus. It can get very tight, so if you're claustrophobic or have a problem touching strangers, it might not be for you. It also starts off quietly, but once you've done a few stops and people have had a few drinks it can get loud and boisterous. I've seen people who didn't know what to expect not have a good time because they either didn't realize how crowded the bus would be, how much drinking would be happening, and how crazy some people get when drunk... An older couple on our last visit was visibly upset and didn't last beyond the 3rd or 4th stop...which is when it started to get really fun! This is not a trip for those who don't drink, and can't tolerate being around people who are drinking and having a good time...
You will love it! Lenbert is amazing and a wonderful host! He does a wonderful job of keeping people moving etc. We've done it 2x now - 1st was a small group (7); 2nd was a jam packed bus. Both times were a LOT of fun. I guess it's only as good as the group you have - we're booked for our 3rd in October!
Thank you all for the feedback. This sounds PERFECT for us!! Our motto: We drink alot :rolleyes: And our favorite part of traveling is getting to meet all of our "new best friends".
You should enjoy it. It was a lot of un and the bus when we went was packed..standing room only!
On our bar crawl last November we had 50 people on the bus,I believe Lenbert told us the bus held 30 including standing room, so we had her packed up tight.Hope to do it again this year on Thanksgiving week!!
Count us in for the crawl that week. Have you picked a day? Our first time on the crawl last year was a pretty quiet bus. It was great seeing the places on the west end, but we felt like we kind of missed out on the party vibes.Quote:
