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 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 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 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!

 Verified Favorite Bar Crawls!!
I have never had a bad experience with this company! I’ve been going on their bar crawls since November 2018 and haven’t missed a holiday since. The owners are great people and their team is so fun. The bars they partner with are also great and the drink/food specials are definitely worth it. Overall, I’ve had a fantastic time on every crawl. The value is definitely there with transportation between venues, free welcome shots at every bar, food & drink specials, and the personal touch of having the owners and their team there and making sure everyone is having fun. Cannot recommend them enough and I cant wait for their next event!

 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!

From the check in to the endless giveaways, I was really impressed by how organized and nice everyone was to our group! Can’t wait to join in on all the fun this year! Downtown Crawlers is definitely my go to for bar crawls in the city!
