Espresso Martini Crawl? Just head to Northern Liberties

This could wind up being one supercharged pub crawl.

Those looking to enjoy discounted espresso martinis to celebrate "National Espresso Martini Day" can visit 14 award-winning restaurants and bars in and around Philadelphia's Northern Liberties neighborhood on Saturday, March 16, for the first-ever Northern Liberties Espresso Martini Crawl,

The coffee-flavored drinks will be flowing from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to organizers. Espresso martinis will be specially priced for $8, $10 or $12 -- and coffee lovers can pair their drink with at least one espresso- or coffee-infused dish.

Bar1010 is offering one of the more unique creations with a parmesan espresso martini. It's already a viral hit.

Almost every restaurant and bar serves the martini, with many restaurants offering their own twist on the iconic alcoholic beverage.
