Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Phoenix’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Valley of the Sun’s bar culture and Arizona desert holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition in the most populous state capital in America. Roosevelt Row and the surrounding bar districts are the heart of Phoenix nightlife and on ugly sweater night the combination of desert warmth, the spectacular Phoenix mountain backdrop, and the excellent bar community creates a holiday celebration that is completely Valley of the Sun.
Our Phoenix route moves through Roosevelt Row and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what Phoenix’s extraordinary bar scene has become. The ugly sweater competition in Phoenix draws on the creative energy of a massive metro area that has developed one of the finest urban bar cultures in the Southwest and the entries reflect that scale of creative ambition.
December in Phoenix is warm and beautiful, typically ranging from 50 to 68 degrees at night. The Arizona winter is Phoenix’s best season and Roosevelt Row at Christmas has a festive creative energy that combines desert warmth with genuine holiday spirit. The Phoenix Mountains visible in the distance create a natural backdrop of genuine grandeur.
Our hosts manage the Phoenix route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Valley of the Sun creativity to the holiday season.
