If you’re looking to explore Munich’s lively bar scene with an upbeat twist, the München Premium Tour with Night PubCrawl offers a well-organized, sociable way to do just that. While many pub crawls tend to be generic, this one promises a private, guided experience in which you’ll visit multiple venues, each with its own unique ambiance, all wrapped up in a four-hour window. It’s designed for those who want more than just a night out — a blend of local flavor, fun shots, and a chance to meet both locals and fellow travelers.
Two features we really like are the inclusion of free shots at each stop and the entry to all venues — no fuss, no extra costs. The tour also caters to groups, with special perks like a PubCrawl T-shirt for the bride or groom, and even beverages tailored for girls or boys groups. A potential drawback could be that the “secret stops” might feel a bit mysterious without knowing what’s coming, but that element adds an element of surprise that many find fun. This tour is best suited for social travelers, party-goers, or anyone curious about Munich’s nightlife who appreciates a lively, guided experience rather than wandering aimlessly.

The Itinerary: What You Can Expect
The tour kicks off at a central pickup point in Munich, with the guide reaching out via WhatsApp to confirm details. From there, the journey begins with a welcome shot, setting a lively tone. The first stop is described as a “secret stop,” where the guide will give a brief introduction to the venue’s vibe — whether it’s a cozy pub, a lively bar, or something a little more underground.
Over the next three stops, each lasting about an hour, you’ll visit different venues, all “secret” for added surprise. These stops are guided, so you’ll get some insight into each place’s unique ambiance. They might be traditional Bavarian taverns, modern cocktail bars, or lively clubs, depending on the night and the guide’s choices. The main draw is sampling a free shot at each location, with additional shots often available between bars, making it easy to keep the party going without breaking the bank.
The tour wraps up with a finisher T-shirt — a souvenir marking the end of your night — and the group can continue the night at their leisure, perhaps at the club included in the package. Reviewers mention that the entry fees are covered, which is a big plus for those wary of hidden costs.
Atmosphere and Authenticity
What sets this tour apart is the focus on authentic social interaction. The guide’s friendly approach helps break the ice, especially useful for those traveling solo or in small groups. The inclusion of drinks tailored for groups (Magnum Prosecco for girls, “Pirate” spirits for boys) adds a touch of fun and camaraderie.
Many reviews highlight the lively atmosphere and the guide’s ability to keep things light and entertaining. You’re encouraged to mingle, take photos, and enjoy Munich’s nightlife without the pressure of figuring out where to go next. The venues are chosen to showcase a variety of settings, from traditional Bavarian pubs to modern bars, giving visitors a taste of what Munich’s nightlife has to offer.
Value for Money
Considering the price includes all entry fees, free shots, and a guided experience, this pub crawl offers good value, especially for groups or first-time visitors who want a curated night out. The additional perks, like the T-shirt and group bottles, make it feel more like a celebration.
However, keep in mind that additional drinks in bars or clubs aren’t included — so if you want to indulge in premium cocktails or specialty beers, you’ll need to budget extra. Still, the constant stream of free shots helps keep the overall cost manageable and the experience fun.
