The act of going from bar to bar, typically to drink and socialize.
Present participle of 'barhop,' combining 'bar' (drinking establishment) + 'hop' (to jump between places), with the '-ing' suffix indicating ongoing action. The term is a 20th-century American creation.
Barhopping became such a defining feature of urban American culture that it generated its own slang, customs, and even marketing strategies—bar district maps and 'bar crawl' tours now exist specifically to facilitate this activity.
