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.
