Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Hollywood’s Ugly Sweater PubCrawl brings the entertainment industry capital’s creative energy to the holiday sweater tradition in ways that only this city can. The bars and venues along Hollywood Boulevard and the surrounding streets have a flair for performance and when the ugly sweater competition starts, the Hollywood crowd approaches it with the same dedication they bring to their actual careers.
Our Hollywood route moves through the Hollywood bar district, stopping at venues that have decorated for the holiday season with the theatrical instinct that defines this neighborhood. The ugly sweater contest in Hollywood has produced actual costume designer creations, custom-fabricated monstrosities, and hand-crafted textile artworks that technically qualify as ugly while also being genuinely impressive.
December in Hollywood is mild and perfect for an outdoor and indoor hybrid crawl, typically ranging from 52 to 62 degrees at night. The Hollywood Hills are lit by the homes of people who celebrate the holidays at scale and the bar scene here has a festive energy that comes from a neighborhood that is genuinely good at creating atmosphere on demand.
Our hosts manage the Hollywood route with the local knowledge this neighborhood requires. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings competitive Hollywood energy to one of the most creative holiday pub crawl events in Southern California.
