Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
St. Louis’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Gateway City’s extraordinary Soulard and Cherokee Street bar culture to the holiday sweater tradition in one of the great beer and bar cities of America. Soulard is one of the most historic and celebrated bar districts in the Midwest and on ugly sweater night the combination of Anheuser-Busch brewing heritage, St. Louis community warmth, and the excellent bar scene creates a holiday celebration that reflects the full quality of what the Gateway City has always done.
Our St. Louis route moves through Soulard and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the extraordinary beer and bar culture that has made St. Louis famous. The ugly sweater competition in St. Louis draws on the creative energy of a city that combines German brewing tradition, Blues music heritage, and genuine Midwestern warmth and the entries reflect that rich cultural combination.
December in St. Louis is cold, typically ranging from 22 to 35 degrees at night. The Gateway Arch lit up in the winter sky and the Soulard holiday decorations create a holiday pub crawl setting of genuine grandeur and beauty. The bar community in St. Louis has the warmth and quality that makes this city one of the best pub crawl destinations in the Midwest.
Our hosts manage the St. Louis route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Gateway City creativity to the holiday season.
