Poké players take note! Dublin’s first Poké PUB crawl has arrived

While most video games are played in the privacy of teenagers’ bedrooms, nowhere seems to be safe from the phenomenon that is Pokémon Go.

And it looks like the game’s colourful creatures are set to go where no pocket monsters have gone before – that's right, to the pub.

According to Pokémon Go Ireland’s Facebook page, a Poké pub crawl is to be held in the nation’s capital on Saturday July 30 which will lead some of the game’s 9.5 million players to mysteriously located Poképubs in Dublin's city centre.

The event, which is in association with digital marketing agency Clicks to Causes, promises there will be plenty of Pokémon to be caught between the hours of 8pm and 12am and that its hosts will be awarding Pokécoins for the best Pokésnap caption from the night.

The Poképage encourages attendees to post their snaps to the Pokémon Go Ireland Facebook site using the #COYPG hashtag which means Come On You Pokémon Go (obviously).

If you want a go at catching them all, head to the event’s Facebook page for more details.

And if you just happen to be walking around Dublin on the last Saturday of the month be aware that the Pokéballs will be flying.
