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!

 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!!!!

 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!
