Pub Crawls, Part 2: Sauchiehall Crawl

January 12, 2005 in Uncategorized | 1 comment

Another pub crawl, this time entirely in the city centre of Glasgow, is the Sauchiehall Crawl. It takes a very different approach to the Subcrawl, and is more of a challenge.

The concept is this: start at the Buchannan Galleries end of Sauchiehall Street (you will have no trouble finding it) and get to Driftwood within an hour. As a walk, it’d be easily achievable (10 minutes or so?). You must, however, have a drink in as many pubs as you possibly can along the way (there are plenty to choose from). You judge the crawl based on the number you manage to get to inside an hour. If you make it to Driftwood late, you lose.

An interesting speed crawl, leaving you poised perfectly for getting to several clubs and bars, or heading into the West End. The West End, of course, will be the venue for pub crawl 3.

    I’ve done this crawl along Sauchiehall, although not in an hour. Myself and my flatmates decided at the end of 2nd year to hit all the bars along Sauchiehall Street throughout the day.

    We started at the end of the pedestrianized zone on Sauchiehall Street and headed down towards Driftwood. I managed to get to The Hall by about 7.00 PM, although I had lost all of my companions due to their non-coreness.

    I then went on to a party where people worshiped the ground I fell on! Good god it was amazing.

    This is a good crawl to make slowly on a hot sunny day (as I did), although could be a hardcore (but worthwhile) task if done how Gary describes.
