Want to find pubs and find out what beer they sell, when they serve meals and what their official food hygiene rating is? Then Pub Crawler is for you. Pub Crawler lets you find pubs in any part of the United Kingdom and save pubs to lists called pub crawls which you can share with your friends. Over 35,000 pubs and bars selling real ale can be found using Pub Crawler. There is information about each pub such as opening hours, address and contact details, whether it serves food, its Food Standards Agency Hygiene Rating and what kind of beer it sells. Each pub can be displayed on a map. Please contact the pub to confirm opening times or other information that may be important to you - you can phone the pub directly from the app. You can also ask Pub Crawler to find pubs near you and restrict the search to pubs that sell real ale. When you create a pub crawl, Pub Crawler works out the distance between each pub and lets you see the pub crawl on a map so you can plan your route if you plan to visit more than one pub. Pub Crawler lets you search for pub crawls that other people may have created in places that you plan to visit.
