And preferably with a bagpiper leading you, which is what we did! Courtesy of Amy S. |
Well, you’re in luck!
Frank and I laid out a pub crawl route that we took post-wedding that
saved our guests some dinero while drinking.
5:30pm – Crane’s
BeachHouse

Crane’s BeachHouse has the best bar in all of Delray
Beach. Not that many people know about
it, which is kind of unfortunate for Crane’s.
Not only do they have two-for-one drinks from 2pm-6pm, the tiki bar also supplies
different snacks throughout the evening.
And I’m not talking just some potato chips, I’ve seen pizza and chicken
wings… for free! Plus, a live band
usually starts at 5pm, so you can munch while listening to the jams.
6:30pm – Boston’s on
the Beach
Boston’s on the Beach is a bar dedicated to… Boston. The Red Sox, the Celtics, and all things
Beantown are on display in this bar.
Unfortunately, this bar used to be a little ratty and just my style, but
it has been re-done in the last year to be a little more upscale. Which means a little higher prices too.
Not sure we are upscale clientele, but I like to think so! Courtesy of Annette F. |
People really enjoy the Sandbar,
Boston’s outdoor bar. I have not been
there yet, but their website shows half price drinks on some days, including Mojito Monday… that’s pretty
economical!
7:30pm – Deck 84
When the sun is setting, Deck 84 is the place to be. It’s right on the Intracoastal, so you always
have a cool breeze blowing.

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3pm to 7pm, so if
you get there late, you miss the specials, but catch a lot of ambience. This place is always bustling with people, but
not in a too crowded kind of way. More
like in a “hey, let’s be friends with strangers” kind of way.
8:30pm – Hurricane
Hurricane has the best live music. In fact, we went here on a wedding night
(stayin’ classy) and the band dedicated two
songs to us: “Crazy B*tch” and “F*ck Her Gently.” If that doesn’t scream romance, I don’t know
what does.

The live music doesn’t really get going until 10pm, but in
the meantime, you can chill on the outdoor patio or play darts.
Hurricane deserves at least a couple of hours, so stay
awhile.
11:00pm – Blue Anchor
I’ve had some truly fantastic times at the Blue Anchor. In fact, it’s where I watched the wedding of
Prince William and Kate Middleton at 5am.
Unfortunately, those pictures were lost in a horrific hard drive crash.
Luckily, there are pictures from my wedding weekend.
Some of my best friends joined me for the debauchery! Courtesy of Amy S. |
Blue Anchor is the place to hear tunes like the Beatles and Rolling Stones. And after you’ve been to four other bars, believe me, that’s exactly what you want! It’s a good dancing crowd, just make sure you go late enough or the crowd is a little on the older side. But which I mean, a lot on the older side.
Loved the "Follow the Bagpiper" approach to this pub crawl! Such fun memories.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Annette, it's the only way to go!
