SELF-GUIDED KENSINGTON BAR CRAWL!! We recently did our own self-guided, walking Kensington Bar Crawl for my father-in-law’s birthday (credit goes to him for the idea, not me). Sharing because a lot people expressed interest in a post! He grew up in Kensington and so did my husband, so this was really unique and fun for us to do. If you want to do a “loop”, start your walk from Knowles Station. Or start at The Dish & Dram. Either way, you will end up at Knowles Station!

1st stop:
2nd stop:
3rd stop: (also great stop to grab some food like I did!)
Final stop:

All of these places do have food! When we stopped at Babycat, there was a food truck outside.

(Reminder to please be responsible and safe if you do this self-guided walking bar crawl. Again, this is something we came up with and just did on our own!)
