About
Hartford, CT
Halloween Pub Crawls
Hartford’s nightlife is concentrated in a small downtown that rewards a good plan. The Hartford Halloween Bar Crawl puts The Brownstone and Privé on the same wristband, so a night that might otherwise mean separate covers and separate lines becomes one route with one check-in.
Halloween weekend draws a wider crowd than you might expect. Hartford sits at the center of Connecticut, so people come in from West Hartford, Manchester, New Britain, and Middletown, joined by students from Trinity College, UConn Hartford, and the University of Hartford who want a night downtown.
Late October in the Connecticut River valley is crisp, usually in the 40s and 50s at night, so costumes tend to go over a layer. Bring a coat you can stash, since the walk between stops is short but cold when the wind comes off the river.
Parking garages downtown are the usual choice, and Hartford Line trains and rideshare are simple alternatives. Your ticket covers the wristband, the map, and crawl specials, and the check-in venue and the full stop list arrive with your confirmation email. Hartford quiets down on many weekends, but Halloween is the exception, with people returning downtown in force. Insurance and finance workers dress as their worst coworker, students team up with locals, and the bars fill early. Allow time for parking, because downtown garages are affordable but not always close to the first stop.
