Itinerary
Dublin has a fantastic nightlife and its pub-to-person ratio is the envy of many cities. And of course you’ll be spoilt for choice with countless traditional Irish Pubs dotting the main nightlife area around Temple Bar and Grafton Street
Since bars generally shut early in Ireland; around 11:30-pm with the exception of some clubs on weekends it’s best to order your first pint early.
Whether you want to sample a quiet drink in a country pub or hear live music, nightlife in the Isle of Man’s town of Douglas is always buzzing.
The highlight of your visit to this hidden gem is a round-the-island day-trip, following the famous TT Isle of Man ra...
Nights out in Edinburgh start early and finish late – it’s a true Dusk-till-Dawn city.
Nightlife here consists of the student Cowgate, upmarket George Street, and the more raffish Lothian Road. Pubs, however, are everywhere and range from traditional historical...

Thirsty Adventures – A New Concept in Travel
Thirsty Swagman Pty Ltd was launched on April 2nd 2007, providing a real and exciting alternative to sightseeing travel for those who enjoy a good night out.
The idea to combine international travel with pub and nightlife tours was conceived by Kenneth Hart, Chief Swagman and founder of Thirsty Swagman. It combined his twin passions, travel and a good cold beer.
Kenneth has traveled all his life – usually far off the beaten track, with a local bar or pub in his sights. He believes that visiting a pub and sharing a beer is the best way to meet the real locals – not the ones the tourism office wants you to see.
And thus a new concept in travel was born… Thirsty Adventures.
The company’s tours are purely party-based and include its signature round-the-world pub tour, as well as adventures through Europe, Australia and Asia and the Beer in Space concept tour. Our goal is to take people to the coolest and most unique watering holes on (and now off) the planet.
Since its inception, Thirsty Swagman has generated huge worldwide publicity including television appearances and radio interviews in over 30 countries, and feature articles in major newspapers and magazines such as CNN, FHM International, Ralph Magazine (Australia), USA Today (USA), and Daily Star (UK).
Headquartered in Australia with a subsidiary in Germany, the company is proud of its Australian origins and believes there’s nobody better to show the rest of the world how to have a good party.
Thirsty Swagman: What’s in the name?
There is of course an obvious connection for the first part of our company name “Thirsty” with what we do
:)
Many people ask us however, what is “Swagman”? A swagman is an Australian term describing a transient itinerant worker, who traveled by foot from farm to farm carrying his bedroll (swag). The swagman became symbolic of Australia nationalistic and egalitarian ideals and remains a romantic icon of Australian history and folklore.
A swagman was often depicted as an honorable rogue, with a sense of adventure, easy going nature, who enjoyed a good laugh.
These values captured the spirit of our company: Australian, with a true thirst for adventure.
