PARTICIPATING BARS

Halloween weekend is one of Tampa’s biggest nights out, and this crawl covers three of the city’s best nightlife districts. Downtown Tampa mixes waterfront views with sports bars and pubs, South Tampa’s SoHo strip is all patios and cocktails, and Ybor City brings the energy of Tampa’s historic Latin Quarter. Your wristband works at every participating bar below, in all three districts, on the night you book. Getting between districts is up to you, and transportation is not included.

TAMPA HALLOWEEN FAQ

Quick answers about check-in, tickets and getting around on Halloween weekend.

Can I visit bars in all three districts with one ticket?

Yes, on the date you booked. Check in at the venue on your ticket, then your wristband works at participating bars in Downtown Tampa, South Tampa and Ybor City. Wristband perks are valid until the event ends at midnight.

When and where do I check in?

Between 5 and 8 PM at the check-in venue on your ticket. Downtown Tampa: American Social (both nights). South Tampa: Grove Soho on Friday, The Patio on Saturday. Ybor City: Southern Belle on Friday, Showbar on Saturday. Check-in is mandatory to receive your wristband.

What if I arrive after 8 PM?

Check-in closes at 8 PM and wristbands can’t be picked up after that. Running late? Forward your ticket to a friend so they can collect your wristband during check-in hours. Missed check-ins aren’t refundable.

Can one person check in for our group?

Yes. Anyone in your group can check everyone in at once and pick up all the wristbands. A friend can also collect your wristband if you forward them your ticket confirmation.

What do I need to bring?

Your ticket (on your phone is fine) and a valid photo ID. All crawlers must be 21 or older.

Are costumes required?

Costumes are encouraged but not required. Want to show off your look? Post it on Instagram and tag @downtowncrawlers to enter the costume contest. Winners are announced the week after the crawl.

How do I get between districts?

Downtown Tampa, South Tampa and Ybor City are a few miles apart, so rideshare is the easiest way to hop between them. Transportation isn’t included, and please never drink and drive.

How do group tickets work?

Buying 4 or more tickets? Choose the group ticket at checkout and save 20% on every ticket in your order.

Can I use my ticket on both nights?

No. Each ticket is valid for the date and check-in location you booked. Coming both nights? Book a ticket for Friday and one for Saturday.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets are non-refundable, including no-shows and missed check-ins. If we cancel an event entirely, you’ll be offered a full refund or a transfer to a comparable future event. Read our full Refund & Service Policy.
