You can choose between two time slots, either 3:00 PM - 5:15 PM or 7:00 PM - 9:15 PM and between two packages. The two packages include a“Dry Run” package that allows you to buy drinks as you go along ($39.99) and a “Happy Hour” package, covering the cost of two 16 oz., one 12 oz., and one 10 oz. beer or cider of your choice ($64.99).
You will meet your guide at the Samuel Adams Statue in front of Faneuil Hall located on the Congress Street side of Faneuil Hall. Walk to the front of the statue so that you’re looking Sam in the face and your guide and group will be there.
Pub crawls begin on the hour, so it’s recommended to arrive five minutes before your scheduled crawl.
($5 off at checkout with promo code BEER)
I also had the opportunity of connecting with Owner & CCO Bobby Heaney to get his thoughts on the Independence Pub Crawl and what the event means to him.
Check out some of our interview below!
How did you get the idea/what motivated you to create this crawl?
“I started Boston Crawling 6 years ago because I wanted to combine the things that I love - meeting new people, fun history, and, of course, beer. I decided the best way to do that would be with a History Tour Pub Crawl. I backpacked through Europe alone when I was younger and pub crawls were always a great way for me to meet fellow travelers. I'm glad our Independence Pub Crawl lets strangers become friends with the help of some history and beer.”
What's something that makes this pub crawl different from the others?
“At Boston Crawling we love sharing the history they left out in 8th-grade social studies class. We focus on the nitty, gritty, fun stories of Boston and our founding fathers. We find these make the most entertaining and informative stories.”
What's a typical crawl experience look like?
“On our Independence Pub Crawl, you'll crawl to 4 different bars along the Freedom Trail with fellow guests from around the world while your expert local guide shares the unknown stories of Boston's colonial and revolutionary past. Along the way, you'll get to drink local craft beer in historic taverns and hidden hideaways.”
