What Is Pub Golf and Why Is It Genius?
Pub golf turns a bar crawl into a competitive drinking game.
Each bar is a hole, each drink is a score. The fewer sips you take, the better your score.
Add challenges, dares, and penalties — and suddenly you’re not just drinking, you’re playing a game you won’t forget (unless you drink too fast).
Sample Rules for Pub Golf
-
Par 1 = Shot
-
Par 2 = Beer
-
Par 3 = Cocktail
-
1 point = clean finish
-
2+ = pauses, spills, or fails
-
Penalties = group dares at the final bar
