Was an awesome bar crawl. We had about 10 total people show up which was perfect and the vibe at each place we went to was great! Highly recommend doing it. The two host Tony and B were awesome as well really showed us all a good time and overall super cool dudes.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Appreciate this! 🙌 Smaller groups can be the best—easy to meet everyone and just enjoy the night. Big shoutout to Tony and B, they’ll be stoked you mentioned them. Glad you had a blast, thanks for recommending us!

Highly Recommend for a Night of Fun

Grace_O, Jul 2025
By far one of the most fun pub crawls i’ve done. Osaka > Tokyo. Loved our guide he was so fun and even took us to an extra club!

Amazing time! We went to...

Salvador_M, Jul 2025
Amazing time! We went to multiple bars as a pre game and got to meet so many people while having some drinks

The tour guide not so good

De_W, Jun 2025
The guests were fun, the tour guide was probably the worst I’ve had and Ive been booking trips and tours daily. Besides not really talking to many of the guests, he said the tour we were on wasn’t very good then proceeded to promote his own tour that the runs.Not cool.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hey theres, sorry, you might have been target by another group trying to call themselves the “Osaka Pub Crawl”. They come in trying to say bad things about the original one. We’re so sorry that happened, we’ll keep an eye on it from now on

Don't miss out on this party.

Christopher_H, Apr 2025
This pub crawl was absolutely epic! Met so many cool people from all over, the drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere was buzzing. We hopped between some awesome spots, each with its own unique vibe. Definitely a highlight of my trip, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out. Can't wait to do it again next time! Hopefully you get to party with Tony B and Dave.

Tony and B were fantastic at describing the experience and guiding everyone through every bar until we reaches the bar. Would recommend to everyone visiting Osaka.

Andy is a really funny...

Rachel_C, Feb 2025
Andy is a really funny and knowledgeable guide! He made sure I was comfortable and included even though I was travelling alone. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking to try interesting and tasty foods in Osaka.

Not as Advertised

Tanya_C, Feb 2025
This is not a pub crawl. It’s also not a tour of interesting or cool local venues. The tour started at a mostly empty club where we we drank very watered down drinks. The club was too loud and dark for socializing - but that’s ok. The rest of the group were early twenties males, like the hosts, who were there to get drunk. Also like the hosts. Not our thing and likely a bit of a scam set up btw the venues and the hosts, but I’m guessing the young guys had a great time.

Awesome people

Loriana_G, Jan 2025
It’s great to meet new people! I recommend this activity if you’re traveling solo as me! A lot of fun!

Osaka Pub Crawl!

Anthony_L, Oct 2024
Fun pub crawl! Some of the other tourist were kind of rowdy but that’s to be expected. Tommy was an excellent pub crawl daddy!

So much fun-just book it!

S_H, Sep 2024
What a night! Met so many people from all over the world and had so f•&$king fun! The group was larger than expected, and that just meant we brought the party to everywhere we went. It wasn’t a family show… waitresses come go go dancers started an impromptu show that left all the guys with their mouths hanging open if you know what I mean. We ended up taking the hosts up on their offer to take us to a 5 am night club. Omg - bananas as the night got even better. Now some things to know… some of the guys get handsy (not a spoiler -alert lots of booze flowing), ¥1100 to go to after party… Would do it again and definitely recommend it!

Party on!

Jaimee_B, Aug 2024
Great places! Love the all you can drink! Met some cool people and the hosts were great 😊 was a good start to my Osaka adventure.

Worth the price

PJ_P, Jul 2024
This bar crawl was a lot of fun. I was a bit late to the meet up spot which was fine because each location had an hour stay. Coordinator was friendly and very approachable. Mixture of age groups was great. The price is reasonable, therefore I give it 5 stars.

Join this tour!

Jenny_C, Jun 2024
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.

Great bar hopping tour!

Maria_M, May 2024
Had a great time with my friends at this tour! We got to meet lots of different people, dance, and party around the city.

A must do Osaka experience !

Ollie_R, May 2024
Great experience, thanks Tommy for looking after us. Great variety of bars and a good croud. Club at the end was fun.

Great was to meet people!

Riley_M, May 2024
You end having to pay for most of the drinks for the evening, but the organizers were very friendly and it was a good time!

Fund and social night out.

JiHoon_P, Dec 2023
Hosts were excellent at showing around the different bars and clubs, and as well as creating a fun and social environment with everyone. Took about 4ish hours for the entire trip! Highly recommend! :)

Time to Party

Saxon_H, May 2023
The folks hosting this tour know what they're doing. They set you up at locations that can accommodate the crowd, provide some variety in the venues, great you with a warm welcome at the door and keep everyone moving along. Definitely recommend for a weekend in Osaka.

Foreigner needing a Osaka drinking experience?

Zak_Q, Mar 2023
It's a great way to get quick exposure and a compact Osaka night life experience (at least some part of it). The price is am amazing deal for what things cost without the tour. You can meet English speaking people (mostly other foreigners) which is sometimes nice if you don't speak Japanese. The hosts do a great job at taking care of everyone, you don't feel too rushed and depending on if you're a nice person, they are really nice to you, haha.

Great pub crawl is Osaka

Daniel_M, Dec 2022
Met a lot of cool people and got to see a variety of clubs. The hosts were amazing, led by Andy and one other girl whose name I unfortunately forgot.

Nice expreience

Leo T, Oct 2019
If you’re looking to meet people from around the world in a night of energy and awesome nightlife, look no further.

Overbooked and Sketchy

Guide257604, May 2019
This event was billed as up to 50 people, but the organizers said they expected 100 people to show up, which was WAY too large. It also felt like a bit of a money-grab. The "shots" that are included with the admission fee were about the size of a thimble; drink deals at each location threaten to $10-you to death. Not only that, women on the tour have no protections from slobbery, drunken men putting their hands all over them, and several were seriously harrassing a young woman we met on the pub crawl. We went as a couple, but the woman we befriended could not get certain guys to stop grabbing her. We had to step in and help her get away, and the tour "guides" -- who were a bit obnoxious themselves -- did nothing to stop it, or at the very least enforce CONSENSUAL behavior and boot the bums out. I'm all for a good time, but I can see how this kind of event could result in assault, or worse. I was hoping for a fun evening out with a smaller group to meet new people. That was definitely NOT what I found here. Kind of a disappointment.

It was lit! Awesome pub crawl! Highly...

It was lit! Awesome pub crawl! Highly recommended. Had an absolutely fun night.

Lohnenswert, Witzig

Maike_D, Jun 2024
Es ist eine super Möglichkeit neue Leute kennenzulernen. Es werden lustige Spiele gespielt und man bekommt eine Menge an freien Shots. Die Gruppengröße ist wirklich groß und es macht insgesamt dadurch sehr viel Spaß.
