My Drink On

Attended an event featuring various bars in downtown St Louis. They were close enough to make the bar crawl easy, and diverse in the crowds they attracted. Event included unlimited tastings. The time went fast, and places got very crowded quick, which are the only drawbacks.

Three of us went for the Whiskey Wine Moonshine tasting on May 21, 2016 in Milwaukee WI
. We go to many many beer/​wine tastings throughout the State. I have to say this was not a good set up. Waited in a very long line to check in. We got there at 6:35 and it was not until about 7 that we actually walked through the doors of the place. Then to find out the lines inside is what was holding us up out there. What a bad set up. You could not even tell what line you were in. The set up is what caused this traffic jam. The very worst I have ever been to. After tasting one kind of whiskey three times because it was the only one we could get even near. We decided to just leave. Our attendance fee hopefully went to a good charity. We walked downtown to a hotel bar and had a few manhattans, as we were getting a über ride home since we thought we would get a few more tastings. We did leave the one bar and head to the other one that was part of the tasting, only to find out it was the same type of thing. Enter and go NO WHERE. Bad choice of location or sold too many tickets, take your pick.

Whiskey, Wine, and Moonshine Denver – This was, without a doubt, the worst festival I have ever been to. Event was incredibly unorganized, zero explaination as we were being checked in as to where we were supposed to go and what we were supposed to do and vendors had no idea about the «voting» component. We were not I.D.‘d when we checked in, a very serious liquor law violation which could have resulted in massive fines for your company. There were only 8 brands really represented, the rest filled out by things commonly found at a dive bar (sampling Bulleit, Jack Daniels, and Jameson at a tasting festival? Seriously? Everyone has had those.) The most appalling thing of all was how several of the booth ‘reps’ had no idea what they were serving. I asked one what the grape variety was and he said, «I don’t know, it’s red. What do you mean grape variety?» Furthermore, the white wine was room temperature and we had to climb over the regular bar patrons to even sample anything. We had «V.I.P.» passes, if you can even call them that… an hour earlier access to the festival which we completed in under an hour. A total waste of $ 60. I would like a refund. I’ve contacted them for a refund and they’ve offered me tickets to an event in June. No thank you.

This is what you attend for a fun night out! Wine and whiskey samples, new friends and got to try new foods. My friend and I arrived late and was treated with plenty of samples (waited a bit but they kept prompt communications with us, keeping us updated). It even included a $ 5 food/​drink voucher so why not eat and drink! We’re pretty please for the amount we paid and glad to talk with some awesome new friends! I’d recommend the event!

So far I’ve only one to the st pats event and we had tons of fun.

The St. Pattys day pub crawl was so fun and well planned.

I’ve participated in multiple My Drink On events over the past couple years and I was always impressed until this most recent Mpls St Pats Trolley Crawl. Normally they have the pub crawl by foot downtown Minneapolis. This year they added Uptown to the mix and trolleys to get from bar to bar. Of the 9 bars, we only made it to three of them, thanks to the long rides on the buses. Due to being on the bus for so long, we completely lost our buzz and it was not as fun as the year before. If they continue with the trolleys we won’t be doing it again. The only reason I gave two stars is because of the Taco, tequila sangria party last summer. We each got 10 (YES 10) drink tickets which were supposed to be small samples. They ended up being the size of large shots because there were a bunch of tequila/​sangria companies competing for your vote to be the best of the event. People were literally leaving drink tickets on the tables because they couldn’t drink anymore. We were all bombed for the rest of the night and I swear we paid $ 7 or less per person to be there. Only problem, wayyyyyy too much tequila! WOOF!

This review is for the Whiskey, Wine and Moonshine event. They had all the best vendors, the lines weren’t very long and all the bars were in close proximity to each other. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to doing one of their future events.

I’m a huge fan of My Drink On. I went to their Halloween trolley tour in Denver and the staff was great at communicating the whole night. Although I didn’t end up using the trolley, it seemed easy to follow and get from place to place.

Went with my girls to the Mardi Gras pub crawl. BEST TIME EVER! great food, drinks and vibe. fun festive time was had by all. I will be there next year FOR SURE!!!

I been to many of their events on Chicago and is always a good time. Sometimes it does get crowded, I recommend you get the VIP pass so you can get in earlier before it get a crowded. They usually have different vendors for the tasting events and games to play. I plan to go to more events in the future.

My Fiancé and I recently went to a NYE party hosted by My Drink On! This was taken at the Anita Dee Yacht. I want to share this with people so they know to do your research before you go out and by $ 200p/​p tickets. Ridiculous!!! The tickets said Dinner! There was no dinner but appetizer with mini plates to serve yourselves, there were no reserve seating so good luck finding a spot! Of course drinks were also limited by the type of alcohol they had. This was an absolute disappointment and i will never do this ago!
I want my money back!!!

I drove over 4 hours to attend a «Bus Crawl» in Indianapolis, and brought my husband and 2 friends along with me. My husband and I have done party buses in other cities and have had good experiences with them, which is why I was so excited to see one in Indianapolis, since we were going to visit for my birthday on New Years Eve.
The lack of venues was really disappointing off the bat, and when we saw that these venues weren’t charging cover anyway, we felt really cheated. The wristband didn’t allow jumping the lines, so we weren’t even able to go into Kilroy’s because the line was so long. Since we only had one bar left, we had no choice but to walk to 36 Degrees in the freezing cold, because the bus didn’t include that drop off or pick up. I had the same experience as others not being able to access the drink specials. The «limo» was a public bus.
We were all really mad about paying for this event.
When I emailed My Drink On the above statement, I got a shitty response:
You were not able to get on the limo to Liberty Street? You were not able to access the specials we listed or champagne toast? We never advertised that you could skip lines. We had plenty of people who were able to access Kilroy’s on the night, but we do advise there could be lines and to hop back on the limos. Further, we post the route and locations involved for all our events.
We advertise no cover so you know you will not have to pay, we do not represent that all our venues will not be open to the public. Our goal is to arrange a fun interactive event between venues and not be subject to open bar packages that could cost $ 100.
We stand by the integrity and representation of our event. The time we put into our events should not be considered free and there are plenty of more expensive options to enjoy on the evening.
I apologize you did not have a positive experience with us, but we did not misrepresent this event.

They put together some fun stuff. If you’re not familiar with an area or from out of town, it’s a good way to get acquainted.

Avoid like an STD.
Did the Halloween trolley tour a couple years back with a group of friends. Thankfully we only paid a discounted $ 12 or something like that but it wasn’t even worth my time.
It started at Sully’s in LP and we were promised tons of buses to tons of bars. Well, one bus showed up and got hella packed before I could even step foot in it. Another bus came and did the same. Wtf?
We were basically stranded at the bar and ended up getting our own cab to the next bar in hopes there will be more buses from that point to continue on the tour. Negative. The next bar was packed, I barely got a drink and when the bus came by, they kept moving. Not even stopping to pick up passengers as they were already at capacity. We gave up and decided to head home. After emailing, tweeting the company and bitching BBHMM!, they refunded us. They did not refund a lot of other people though, so perhaps the Cuban attitude prevailed. They can’t return my time wasted but at least I got the $ back. P
I strongly suggest you avoid and plan your own trolley or party instead of dealing with this group.

My friends and I did the Halloween Trolley Bar Crawl. It was an absolute waste of money. Even with the Groupon. 1) Check-​in was only in Lincoln Park at three bars. With everyone starting there, it was a madhouse. I wish there was a way to get everything in the mail and start whatever we wanted to avoid crowds. I work and go to school full time as well as live in the suburbs. There was no way I was making it downtown on a Thursday for the pre-​checkin. 2) Trolleys were non-​existent. Someone told us we had to «flag them down.» What’s the point of giving us maps with stops then? We had to walk and take an Über. Never once got on a trolley. 3) The «gift cards» were only for a Heineken or something else that I can’t remember, up to $ 5. Website was misleading/​unclear.
We only made it three bars out of eighteen. THREE. We spent most of the night trying find the fricking trolley stops. This whole event needed way more organization. They were expecting a lot of people and seemed unprepared for it anyway. We thought we were alone in our disappointment, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case. I will not be attending any more events put on by MyDrinkOn.

My husband and I attended the St Patrick’s Day event last year and it was mediocre, they didn’t offer anything more than what downtown festivities, so paying a premium for a party was not a great deal.

I went to the cinco de drinks bar crawl for my birthday and as an event planner I was really hoping for MORE!
There is soooo much room to make it incredible like games at every bar, prizes and just hype men!

I attended the «Whisky, Wine, and Swine» event in Indianapolis and had a blast! The drinks were plentiful, and there were a lot of options to choose from. I didn’t eat, because I don’t eat pork, but I knew that going in. I WAS hoping that there would at least be a side item (veggie/​chips/​fries) to snack on. I liked the set-​up for the venue, and how accessible all of the vendors were. Some of the tastings were better and more generously sized than others, but I’m sure that’s strictly personal preference. If this event comes back in 2016, I’ll definitely attend!

I attended Whiskey, Wine and Swine again this year and I couldn’t believe how much the event changed. It seemed to me that the success of 2014 went to their heads, because they oversold this event to about triple capacity. It was incredibly disappointing.
We arrived at about 1:15 pm (it started at 1) and the lines were unbelievable. They were also so closely packed that you couldn’t maneuver between them. I was only able to wait in 5 lines from start to finish in the 3 hours I was at the event, which means that for the price I paid, I got 5 two-​ounce samples of wine or whiskey. That’s 10 ounces to show for 3 hours of just standing in line. I mean it, I literally waited in line for 3 straight hours, because as soon as you got your tasting sample, you had to jump in another line so you had hope of getting another drink in the next hour. I really hope they reconsider their business model for future events, because as it stands, neither I nor my friends will be back.
