Whatcha doing this Wednesday night? Oh, yes? Fascinating. Well, do this instead:

The Thrillist/Genever Bols Downtown Punch Crawl 2011

$25 gets you a punchcard to collect & consume 6 libations from various downtown bars (full, more tantalizing details below).
The official event runs from 6p-11p, but we’re most likely starting off around 7:30-8pm. Get your tickets & organize any meet-ups here in this thread (if you are so inclined).

Better introduction (from the event site):
Fuel up with this damn refreshing Thrillist Reward: for a mere $25, you’ll pull a pass to Thrillist’s July 13th Downtown Punch Crawl, hooking it up at 6 fine Downtown establishments from 6-11p. You'll round up at either Cole’s or Bar & Kitchen for a 5hr walking marathon stringing together a sextet of unique bartender-created elixirs, each made with ... Holland’s Bols Genever.

Your punchcard (!) will command the following excellence at these drinkeries:

• Varnish: The Dutch Pugilist, perhaps the tastiest application of the sweet science since Holyfield-ear lollipops
• Cana Rum Bar: Panamanian Detective, with guava, Averna & the freshest of limes
• Drago Centro: Pompeii Punch, also the world-ender Ivan used to level Rocky
• Cole’s: Peach Cobbler, w/ sliced peaches, cinnamon simple syrup & angostura bitters
• The Falls Lounge: Flowing Bols, a fruity pour w/ pineapple slices, citruses & Maraschino
• Bar & Kitchen: Vondlepark Punch, which unlike “park, fondle, punch” is not just a re-creation of the last date you brought to Mulholland

I’ve put together a map to show you how close together all the bars are (not that this is the order in which we’ll visit the bars): http://bit.ly/nRbouf
