About
San Antonio, TX
Halloween Pub Crawls
The San Antonio Halloween Bar Crawl gives you one wristband for a route that includes Hard Rock Cafe San Antonio and Know Knew Friends Disco & Cocktail Club, two very different rooms. Start with a Riverwalk-style stop and end somewhere with a dance floor if your group has the energy.
San Antonio’s Mexican-American heritage shapes the costume scene, so sugar-skull face paint and calavera details show up across downtown next to the standard witches and zombies. Students from UTSA, Trinity and St. Mary’s mix with military families and tourists. Lines at the popular doors move quickly when groups arrive together, so keep your party tight.
October evenings in South Texas are usually warm, sometimes humid, so costumes should breathe. Plan for a long walk, because the stretch between the Riverwalk and the rest of downtown adds up, and wear shoes that can handle brick and cobbles.
The VIA bus network covers downtown, and rideshare is quick, but it gets scarce right at closing. Pick your ride home before check-in, and keep your wristband on until you are back in the car. San Antonio is a city that loves a long, loud evening, and the crawl suits that pace. Eat something substantial before check-in, because Tex-Mex on the way is easy to find downtown, and plan to cover the riverside stretch on foot while saving rides for the longer gaps between stops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the San Antonio Halloween Bar Crawl 2026
What is the San Antonio Halloween Bar Crawl?
San Antonio spreads its nightlife between the River Walk, the Pearl, and the St. Mary's Strip, so a route with a fixed lineup earns its keep. Your ticket covers a wristband, a digital 3D map, Halloween drink specials, a photographer, and after-party entry.
What dates does the San Antonio crawl run?
Saturday, October 24 from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Saturday, October 31 from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Both are early-evening windows, which suits a downtown that gets very busy on Halloween weekend.
Which part of San Antonio does the route cover?
The city's nightlife runs along the River Walk downtown, up at the Pearl, on the St. Mary's Strip north of downtown, and in Southtown. Each is distinct. Your confirmed check-in venue and lineup come with your ticket.
Does the Day of the Dead weekend affect things?
It adds to it. San Antonio marks Día de los Muertos in a serious way, and the traditions around it run alongside Halloween weekend downtown. Expect more people, more decoration, and a more festive city than you would get elsewhere.
How do I get around San Antonio?
VIA buses cover downtown and the main corridors, and rideshare is widely available. Once you are downtown or on the Strip the walking is manageable, but moving between districts means a ride.
Where do I park downtown in San Antonio?
Downtown garages near the River Walk are numerous but they price up on event nights. The Pearl has its own parking, and the St. Mary's Strip relies on street and lot parking that fills early on a Saturday.
What should I wear in San Antonio?
South Texas in late October is still warm, often in the 80s during the day and pleasant after dark. That gives you real freedom on the costume, so avoid the heavy option and pick something you can wear comfortably for hours.
Can I book a group in San Antonio?
Yes. Groups of 20 or more may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in, and private party packages through the group booking form on the event page.
