We discovered some great local bars, enjoyed the welcome shots, drink specials and met people we ended up hanging out with throughout the night. A fun night out with old friends and new ones!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to thank you for the short time we spent at the Shamrock Block party March 14th in downtown Tampa. It was my very first time, and you guys were very welcoming to us upon arrival. I wish we could've stayed longer but now I know. Soon to go to the 5 de Mayo bar crawl.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I have participated in at least 8 of these bar crawls over the past couple of years and every single one of them has been a BLAST.

It's a great way to meet new people and get out without a lot of structure or plan, but still have a bunch of places to go.

You can visit as few or as many of the bars as you want, the welcome shot at each new place is always fun.

I cannot recommend this highly enough, no matter the event or time of year, these bar crawls deliver fun!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. We came with a group of 52 persons from Germany to Tampa to watch the Bucs game against the Giants. As we stayed a few days in Tampa we asked the Downtown Crawlers to organize a privat bar crawl for our group. As the crawl was at the Thanksgiving Day I guess it was pretty hard to find many bars to host our group. But the event was really awesome. We visited four bars, received at every bar a welcome shot and felt more then comfortable. Thomas and Andreas from the Downtown Crawlers even stayed with us the whole 12 hours until the end. Really was a great experience and can only recommend their events. 👍👍

 Verified The Bar Crawls are a Blast!
I’ve been on numerous bar crawls with Downtown Crawlers and always have a blast! Their experimental events are a great way to explore the area’s best bars and meet new people. The crowd is lighthearted and fun, making it especially comfortable for those new to town or traveling. My tip: get started early to snag extra perks like swag and samples!

Everyone kept telling me how much fun they were having all night. I got a lot of high fives ✋🏽 and fist bumps 👊🏽. It was perfect. Michael was our guide for the day and he did such a great job taking care of us and getting the things we needed. I feel like you guys took care of everything and all we had to do was have fun. 🕺🏽💃🏽 Thank you Thomas, Andreas, and Michael. We will definitely try the other pub crawls in the future.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. If you want a fun weekend then do a bar crawl with these guys! I say weekend because the day after I usually need time to get some R&R. They are definitely the most fun bar crawl in Tampa and love when you bring more people! Definitely come for the jello shots and shotguns but leave with some new friends!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I joined the Crawlers for Rompers and Mimosas and it was the most fun I have had in a long time. Every one was in high spirits and ready to have fun. The whole event was well planned and covered 4 stops. I met so many people and formed friendships. I attended the event alone but I was never alone. I had 3 bus load of high energy and fun friends. I can’t wait to joined them again.

 Verified They keep getting better!!!!!!
I've been frequenting these bar crawls for over a year now and even though they are more popular now, the group never fails to bring a wonderfully fun day or night out! I have found some of my favorite Tampa and St Pete bars and restaurants from these crawls and made some really great networking connections. Highly recommend!!!!

 Verified They are the party planning pros!!
We’ve been attending their bus trips and bar crawls since the beginning and it’s always an amazing time. They handle all the planning and logistics so that all you have to do is show and have a great time. We’ve made lots of friends through the downtown crawlers as well. They are the best! Cheers!

 Verified Best bar crawl in town!!!
My friends and I have tried many different bar crawls in the area and Downtown Crawlers has the best ones by far! The owners of the bar crawl are extremely welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure everyone is having an amazing time! The party buses make the experience so much more convenient and fun. Overall the value for your money and the welcoming team make them the bar crawl I enjoy and recommend the most!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment you arrive you start having fun, there are fun activities, the staff is friendly, and overall the people that go to these events are soo much fun! Thomas and the rest of the crew are seriously the best! You always have plenty of time to fully enjoy each stop with multiple bus pick-ups and drop-offs to choose from. They do a great job of incorporating bars that have been around for a while and also the newer ones. This allows you to experience places that you've never heard of or have always wanted to check out. Overall it's a 5 out of 5 star of a time! My friends and I always look forward to attending DTC's future events and meeting new friends while we have fun.

BAR CRAWL FAQ

New to Downtown Crawlers? Here’s what to expect before you pick your next event.

What is a Downtown Crawlers bar crawl?

It’s a themed event where you explore participating local bars, enjoy exclusive perks and celebrate with fellow crawlers. Bring your crew or come ready to meet new people.

Which themed bar crawls does Downtown Crawlers host?

Five themes run every year: Halloween in October, Holiday crawls in November and December, Gasparilla in Tampa in January, St. Patrick’s Day in March and Cinco de Mayo in May.

What does my ticket include?

Your ticket includes a crawl wristband – your access to participating bars and their perks, such as free welcome shots or treats, drink specials and free cover at select venues. Perks are set by each venue, run while supplies last and vary by event, so check the event listing and Event Guide before you go.

Do we follow a guide or explore at our own pace?

You set the pace. After checking in, visit participating bars in any order and stay longer at your favorites. There’s no fixed group itinerary to follow.

Are perks available until the event ends?

Not necessarily. Each bar sets its own offers and offer hours, which may end before the overall event does, and supplies are limited. Entry and cover can also change as venues get busy. Start early and check the Event Guide to enjoy more of the crawl.

What if a bar is full, charges cover or can’t honor an offer?

Head to another participating bar on the list. Venues control admission, cover and offers, so these can vary from bar to bar. An issue at a single venue doesn’t qualify for a refund. If staff don’t recognize the crawl, email [email protected] with the venue name and time so we can follow up with management.

What if I lose my wristband?

Your wristband is your access to every venue and perk, so treat it like cash – lost wristbands can’t be replaced.

Can I come alone or with a group?

Absolutely. Come with friends, make it a group celebration or join solo. The shared theme and social atmosphere make it easy to meet fellow crawlers along the way.

Do you offer group discounts?

Yes. Buy 4+ tickets together in one order and choose the Group ticket option to save 20%.

Do I need to dress up?

On themed crawls, costumes are encouraged but never required.

Are all drinks included in the ticket price?

No. Your ticket includes the free welcome shots or treats advertised for your event (some require a drink purchase), plus access to drink specials. Additional drinks and food are purchased separately.

How old do I need to be?

All crawlers must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID, at check-in and at participating venues.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Our crawls take place rain or shine, so dress for the weather between venues. If conditions become unsafe, we may adjust hours or programming for guest safety. See our Refund & Service Policy for details.

Can I give my ticket to someone else?

Yes. Tickets are transferable – forward your Eventbrite ticket to a friend and they can check in with it. See our Refund & Service Policy for full terms.

How do I find a crawl and book tickets?

Explore our events, choose your city and date, then follow the ticket link to book through Eventbrite. Your event listing explains the ticket options, included perks and check-in details.
