Amsterdam Pub Crawl: 9 Bars, 9 Drinks, 9 Challenges – Skip the Planning
So, you’re planning a night out in Amsterdam and you want it to be legendary? You could spend hours scrolling through maps and bar reviews... or you could download a ready-made pub crawl route and just enjoy the ride.
That’s where we come in. Our Amsterdam Pub Crawl Route gives you a step-by-step crawl across 9 of the city’s best bars — plus drinking games, challenges, and a scorecard to play pub golf along the way.
⛳️ What is Pub Golf?
Pub golf is a drinking game disguised as a crawl. You ‘play’ holes at bars instead of on a golf course.
Each bar = 1 hole, each drink = 1 score.
The fewer sips it takes to finish your drink, the better.
Add in some dares and rules, and you’ve got a chaotic, hilarious night out.

🏌️♂️ Pub Golf Rules (How to Actually Play)
Each player gets a scorecard (included in our route).
You record how many sips or seconds it takes to finish your drink.
The fewer, the better. Spilling? Penalty. Skipping? Penalty.
Example rule set:
- Each hole must be visited in the designated order.
- Each player must drink the specific drink assigned by us!
-
A player’s score for a hole is based on how many times their drink touches their lips. So if you down it in one go, that’s 1 stroke. If it takes 2 sips, that’s 2 strokes!
-
The player or team with the lowest total score at the end of the course is the winner.
Bonus rules -
No toilets between holes 4–6
-
No repeating the same drink
-
Penalties = dares at the end
