The Legendary Juneau Pub Crawls

Key Details

• Local Connection: Because the pub crawls occurred year after year on similar schedules, the local Juneau bartenders—who rarely changed—remembered me and the Geek Cruise group fondly from one year to the next.
• The Circuit: The pub crawl typically began with a large group dinner at the Twisted Fish and traversed nearly a dozen bars around town.
• The Spontaneous Gig: During one memorable pub crawl, one of the Geek Cruise guests stepped up during a local musician's break and played an incredible hour-long set, leaving everyone in the bar amazed.
