Clerkenwell to Craft Beer Co. Covent Garden is the longest leg (about 1.7 km, 20 min) along Holborn. The Central line from Chancery Lane to Holborn is one stop. The Harp is an optional last stop: a classic cask-ale pub rather than a craft bar, about 10 minutes' walk south through Covent Garden. On a Sunday, skip Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell and walk from Mikkeller straight to Craft Beer Co. Covent Garden (about 2 km), or take a bus along Theobalds Road. The Euston Tap and The Harp are small and fill fast after work. Go before 5pm for a seat. **Alcohol-free and pacing:** ask at the bar for alcohol-free beers and soft drinks, and remember a half is always fine. Eat along the way, drink water between stops, and skip a stop whenever you like. [More tips](https://thecraftbeercrawl.com/responsible-drinking/).
