Previous Updates:

 

Why few updates? Beatnik Turtle is busy with www.thesongoftheday.com, and recording an entire album of Irish Pub Songs within the month of February, so updates at this website will be few and far between (important details like the schedule, the route, etc. will of course be posted!). Check back and tell your friends.

 

Whether rain, blizzard, cold, out-of-date 11th annual banner above, or heat wave, the 12th PubSprawl will be ON! Warn ye livers!

 


UPDATES

 

THE 11TH ANNUAL PUBSPRAWL WAS A SUCCESS! THANKS FOR COMING OUT!








A good time was had by all! See you next year for the 12th annual!!!




ABOUT PUBSPRAWL


Started in the last years of the 20th Century, PubSprawl, once an embarassedly unnamed pubcrawl is now an embarassed named pubcrawl and still going strong! Now with 11 years behind it, PubSprawl shows no signs of stopping.



What started as a group of 20 friends drinking the day away has quickly grown into a group of 275+ friends drinking the day away. Now that's progress!

 

If you've discovered this website (whether told, emailed, or simply typed in the wrong porn address) you're now invited to tag along.



Get familiar with the rules and route, check out this year's beloved King & Queen, revisit the fond hazy memories of PubSprawl past, or check out the pages dedicated to Seamus O'Ffend, Ireland's greatest dirty leprechaun comic, and revel in some dirty limericks, jokes, or toasts!




ABOUT THIS WEBSITE



Started in 2000 in an effort to co-ordinate information about the ever-growing St. Patrick's Day PubSprawl, this site remains open all year round and is sponsored by our friends in the band Beatnik Turtle.

 

No strangers to having a good time, Beatnik Turtle has been writing and performing around the Chicago area for a decade. They've combined their knack for writing catchy, contagious melodies with off-the-wall lyrics in three full-length albums, television shows, podcasts, theater productions, and TV commercials.

 

And now they're busy releasing one song for each day of 2007 for free at their www.thesongoftheday.com site!

Competing "BarSprawl" Tells PubSprawl To Go To Hell


Feb 17, 2007




BarSprawl Founders
Colin Kolakowski
& Peter Papadalopolis

Although the PubSprawl is now in its 11th year, many in Chicago want to remind St. Patrick's Day revelers that the PubSprawl is not the only game in town. I met up with the co-founders of a competing bar crawl, the BarSprawl (www.barsprawl.com), at a Dunkin Donuts in Rogers Park.

 

"So what that PubSprawl is in it's 11th year?" screams Colin Kolakowski in between sips of Dunkin Donuts coffee. "Me and Pete are also in our 11th year too..."[MORE].

 




Low PubSprawler Turnout is Feared Due to Cheney Shooting

Vice President Dick Cheney
has his site's set on the PubSprawl

As all PubSprawlers know, it's tradition for the sitting Vice President to be a part of the PubSprawl festivities. However, thanks to the recent hunting accident involving Vice President Dick Cheney, many predict this year's 10th Annual PubSprawl attendance will be negatively affected by the scandal...[MORE].
