What: Silver City Brewery is hosting its eighth annual Mariners Pub Crawl at Pioneer Square this Saturday after the game against the Angels. The booze-filled tour will visit more than 10 bars and restaurants, including the golf-themed Flatstick Pub, Josh Henderson’s upscale sports bar Quality Athletics, and the seafood destination Ivar’s Acres of Clams. Those who want to check it out should head toward Flatstick first, before the crawl goes to the various pubs in the neighborhood and then T-Mobile Park (yes, it hasn’t been pretty of late, but know that the M’s still have the wonder that is Dan Vogelbach).

Details: 1:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. at Pioneer Square. Ticket sales for the crawl have ended, but anyone who is going to the Mariners game on their own or just really like beer are welcome to join in the revelry at these participating locations.
