Pick the places that serve your evening: somewhere to meet, somewhere to hear music or somewhere with a menu you want to try. Compare the actual addresses and the travel route at night. Check opening times and any reservation deadline. Keep the number of stops small enough that travel leaves time to enjoy them.
Leave a stop optional. You may find a table you like or a performance you want to hear for longer. Tell friends when the next booking creates a firm departure time and when the group can decide on the spot. Before moving, wait for people settling their orders or collecting their belongings.
Send the address and travel plan before the group leaves. Agree what happens if the next place is full and how someone leaving early will tell the others. One checked alternative keeps the decision manageable. Everyone should know where the group is going and have a way to reach it independently.
