Review of Osaka’s pub crawl, with bar stops, welcome shots, drink discounts, a nightclub finish, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The tour was amazing! The 3 hosts went with us about 30-40 people, everyone speaks English and super friendly. We stayed at the first stop (meet up place) for a couple of hours with an option of all-you-can-drink for 1,100 yen. The second place was tiny and more chilled. The third bar was much more spacey with good music, ended up going to the hip-hop club on the top floor. I had so much fun and would definitely recommend to my friends.”
