The dragons' den
The Drunken Dragon Pub Crawl is also eager to help you find a match on February 14 with a "Nuts and Bolts" game. "Valentine's Day is a holiday that is loved by most, but for those that are single this day reminds us that we are just that - single," said Marion Cramier, one of the organizers of the Valentine's pub crawl. "Fortunately, Drunken Dragon is here to help you find true love. Guys get a nut. Girls get a bolt. Find your match and the rest is history," Cramier added.
The V-Day Single's Crawl starts at the Irish bar O'Malley's (42 Taojiang Road, 6474-4533) at 9:30 pm with an one-hour open bar and free shots throughout the crawl. It is 150 yuan with a prior reservation, or 180 yuan at the door. Organizers promise free shots and drinks specials in other bars the crawl takes in. And if you don't find that "special one," at least you will have made some new party friends.
