Ha, a bunch of us in Dublin tried to work out the optimum route for breaking the current "Guinness Book of Records" record for most pubs visited in a pub crawl. Though one of the team got a decent enough method of working out the optimum route, unfortunately some guys smashed the record in New York. We were unable to match the density of pubs in the 24 hours allowed - I think we needed to be hitting one every four minutes or something like that. I really doubt that it can ever be done anywhere other than New York any more :(

- buro9 11y agoSeaside towns like Brighton or Blackpool in the UK would be good places to try. Both have considerably smaller winter populations (~circa 150k) yet have ~280 and ~400 pubs respectively, and those pubs crowd the streets around the promenade and beach-front. Brighton: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/pubs/@50.8227911,-0.1380461,15.91z https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/pubs/@50.8227911,-0.138... Blackpool: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/pubs/@53.8090219,-3.047384,14.93z https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/pubs/@53.8090219,-3.047... I suspect the biggest problem in the UK would be the shadow of licensing hours meaning that the pubs are mostly closed during the 24-hour window.
