BEFORE YOU CRAWL

Everything You Need to Know

Quick answers about check-in, timing, transportation, and brunch.

Can someone else check in for me?

No, you must check in yourself. We require valid ID verification matching the ticket holder’s name to issue your exclusive crawl wristband and materials.

Can one person check in for the entire group?

No. Every crawler must present their own barcode and matching physical ID to receive their official wristband. No credentials will be given to third parties.

What happens if I arrive after check-in closes?

Check-in shuts down precisely at the noted time. If you arrive late, we host a designated late registration desk at our secondary venue till 8:00 PM.

Can I join the crawl after it has started?

Yes, absolutely! Once you have picked up your registration wristband during check-in hours, you can jump into the crowd at any participating stop on the map.

Can I purchase brunch on event day?

Brunch spaces are highly limited and typically sell out online days before. If tickets remain, they will be sold at a premium tier on the day of the event.

Where is brunch served?

Brunch is served in our premium flagship partner bars and bistros. Your ticket will show your assigned venue, located right within the central crawl sector.

Do I need a car during the crawl?

No car needed! The entire downtown crawl map is specifically designed to be 100% walkable. All partner locations are clustered within a few short blocks.

How can I avoid long check-in lines?

Arrive roughly 30 minutes before the gates open, have your digital ticket barcode loaded on your smartphone, and hold your physical ID ready in your hand.

 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!

Had a great time participating in the Charlotte Halloween Crawl. Only 1 negative comment is that 1 of the participating venues was taking their decorations down very early during the event

Everyone was up for a good time and ready to party. The event was well organized and the bars where nice especially the free welcome shots. Looking forward to Gasparilla now!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. Halloween pub crawl in downtown St.Pete. Waste of money only 1 bar knew about free shots with wristband and bar we checked in at to get wristband was the only one with a cover charge which they still were trying to charge.

 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 Great way to spend a day out
I’ve done different bar crawls, but the ones with the Downtown Crawlers have honestly been my favorite. Everything is really well organized. Check-in is easy and the staff is friendly and helpful. The bars they pick are solid spots. It’s fun being out with people that are all there to have a good time. Drink specials and welcome shots are a nice bonus, and it’s a great way to check out places you might not normally go to.

 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!

 Verified Opportunity to meet some of Tampa's finest
I've been on a few of the Downtown Crawlers pub crawls and OMG there is never a Disappointment. The guys and gals who run these events Do an amazing job of organizing, entertaining, and regardless if you're Solo or with a group they truly make you feel welcomed. I love the themed events which brings everyone on the crawl together and gives ample opportunity for you to meet new people and take memorable photographs. The crawls will take you on a trip through some of Tampa's best bars, restaurants, even parks and other historical staples of the community. Whether you live in the area or are just passing through, if you have an opportunity to partake in one of the Downtown Crawlers events I strongly recommend it. You guys rock!!!

 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!!!!
