About
Alexandria, VA
Halloween Pub Crawls
Old Town Alexandria is a Halloween town by temperament: brick sidewalks, gas-lamp style lighting, a waterfront and a King Street lined with bars and restaurants that run from the river up toward the Metro. The Alexandria Halloween Bar Crawl uses that setting, with Alexandria Bier Garden, Rock It Grill, The Parlour and Good Fortune among the participating stops.
Because it sits across the Potomac from Washington, DC, the crowd skews toward government staffers, contractors, military families and young professionals who live in Northern Virginia and want a night out that does not involve the District. You also get George Mason and Marymount students and plenty of people who come over from Arlington.
The crawl works with how the area already behaves on a holiday weekend. Old Town is compact enough to walk, the King Street Metro station sits at the top of the main strip, and the free King Street Trolley carries people up and down when their feet give out. That makes this one of the easier routes to do without a car.
One ticket gets you a wristband, a digital map and specials at every participating bar. Costumes run from political satire to classic horror, and the people-watching on King Street is part of the show. Wear shoes with grip, since the brick sidewalks are uneven and Old Town’s cobblestones do not forgive heels.

How the Pub Crawl Works
Old Town makes this simple: four steps from checkout to your first pour.
Order at PubCrawls.com. The follow-up email gives the Old Town venue and hour, so King Street wandering is unnecessary.
At the Old Town check-in table, show a government photo ID. Staff match it to your ticket and fasten the wristband before the first bar.
Open the digital map and choose your first stop in Old Town. The bars sit close, so a group can change the order on the fly.
Use the wristband for specials at each bar, enter the costume contest if one runs, and hop the free trolley when your feet give out.

This is the Alexandria night in order, from the wristband table to the last stop on the map.
Frequently Asked Questions
Metro schedules, brick sidewalks and ID rules are the Alexandria questions that come up most.
Do Old Town bars check ID on Halloween night?
They do. Only guests 21 and over join, and a valid government photo ID is needed at check-in and at every bar. College IDs and expired licenses will not pass.
Where is the Alexandria wristband table?
The confirmation email lists the check-in venue and the arrival window. Alexandria Bier Garden, Rock It Grill, The Parlour and Good Fortune are on the route, but that email names your starting stop.
Is an Alexandria ticket cheaper when bought early?
They climb as the date approaches, so buying early saves money. Tickets are online only, and the email you receive is all you need at the door.
Is the King Street Metro station close to the Alexandria crawl?
Close enough to matter. The King Street-Old Town station is on the Blue and Yellow lines, and the free trolley runs toward the waterfront. Check the last train home first.
Is Old Town Alexandria walkable for a bar crawl?
Very. The core of Old Town is compact, and most of the participating bars are within a short walk of each other. Wear comfortable shoes, because the brick sidewalks are uneven and can be slick.
What is parking like in Old Town Alexandria on Halloween?
Tight. Street spots have time limits and the garages fill up on a holiday weekend. Taking Metro or a rideshare saves you the hunt, and you will not have to drive home after drinking.
Do people come from DC and Arlington for the Alexandria crawl?
Yes. Plenty of people cross over from the District and Arlington, along with groups from Fairfax and Springfield. Metro makes the trip easy, and a rideshare back splits well across a group.
