If you’ve spent any time around LIABP staff or travellers, you’ve probably heard the stories — people doing four, five, even ten bar crawls in one trip.

But what’s the actual record?

Let’s break down the funniest, craziest, and most impressive stats from LIABP history.

The Official Record: 14 Bar Crawls in One Stay

Yes, 14.
Fourteen nights.
Fourteen bar crawls.
Zero nights off.

This is the current LIABP all-time record, set by a pair of Irish travellers who turned “I’ll go out tomorrow” into a survival challenge.

Common High Scores

While 14 is impressive, many travellers push big numbers:

• 8–10 crawls (common among Irish in June)

• 6–8 crawls (the “normal” high score)

• 3–5 crawls (typical for a one-week holiday)

And yes — there are plenty of people who go every single night of their stay.

Why People Do the Bar Crawl So Many Times

1. The crowd changes every night

New faces. New groups. New energy.
You never have the same night twice.

2. It’s the easiest way to meet people

Every nationality. Every age. Every travel type.

3. The route is unbeatable

Nio Fusion → Fun Pub → Esco → Shush / Baru → Sweet Irish Dream.

4. The pre-party is addictive

Nio Fusion’s Happy Hour becomes a ritual.

5. The wristband makes it cheap

If you have the Official Ios Wristband, every night on the bar crawl is free.

Who Typically Breaks the Bar Crawl Record?

• Long-term seasonal staff

• Irish from Cork staying 2-3 weeks

• Friends doing a “challenge trip”

• Irish Leaving Cert groups

• Australians with no off-switch

• Swedish/Norwegian crews in July

The record holders tend to be the most social travellers — the ones who meet everyone on the island.
