A Tampa nightlife bar crawl is always a good time to spend a long weekend where work is at least a couple of days away. You can either get super drunk and forget all about those work and personal problems or you can hang out with new people and maybe even meet a potential love interest.
Whatever you’re aiming for with your bar-hopping adventures, you’ll only be able to achieve it if you follow these five useful tips:
Have a plan
It’s a good idea to have a general game plan so if ever you get separated as a group, everyone will know where to go or where to meet. If there’s a list of bars you want to go to, the group can simply follow it on their own pace. You don’t need to move together as a group and have everyone in check.
You’re all adults and you can move around freely, leave the bar earlier than you’re supposed to, if you want. But the general plan must have you all in the same bar by the end of the night. That way, you can be sure that everyone’s safe.
Pace yourself
There are five bars you are planning to hit this night but why are you getting drunk at the very first bar? That’s no fun, we tell you.
It might sound like a good idea to finish a row of tequila shots but that will finish you off for the night and either you will ruin your friends’ night or they will leave you with an annoyed bartender and get on with the plan.
Plan an exit strategy
Some bars are just better than others so if you ever find yourself in one, you’ll naturally want to spend a longer time there. Coordinate with your friends about signaling each other if one wants to leave and another wants to stay.
There should be a general guide on how long you’ll stay in a bar and how much you’re going to drink. Make sure to finish your bar crawl in your favorite bar where you are likely to stay the longest.
Don’t get too separated
While you must give other space, it is important also to keep an eye out for everybody so you don’t get too separate. If you don’t, you’ll spend the night calling each other and planning to meet in a specific bar.
You’ll ruin the night and all because you did not manage to check one another. This is why signals and having a general plan is important. They will keep everybody in check.
