Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Alexandria’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings Old Town’s cobblestone streets and one of the most charming bar districts in the DC metro to the holiday sweater tradition. King Street is one of the most beautiful bar corridors in Virginia and on ugly sweater night the combination of colonial architecture, waterfront setting, and excellent bars creates a holiday celebration that has an elegance and charm that no other DC suburb can match.
Our Alexandria route moves through King Street and the surrounding Old Town bar district, stopping at venues that represent the quality and character that has made Old Town Alexandria a destination in its own right. The ugly sweater competition in Alexandria draws on the creative community of government workers, military families, and the broader DC metro creative class and the entries reflect that diverse, sophisticated community.
December in Alexandria is cold, typically ranging from 28 to 38 degrees at night. The Christmas lights along King Street and the Potomac River waterfront are some of the most beautiful holiday decorations in the mid-Atlantic region. Walking between venues on the colonial cobblestone streets in an ugly sweater is one of the most atmospheric holiday pub crawl experiences in America.
Our hosts manage the Alexandria route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Old Town elegance and community creativity to the holiday season.
