Halloween Pub Crawls
Columbus, Ohio does a lot of things well, but Halloween is when the city really comes alive. The Halloween Bar Crawl is the best thing happening on October 31st.
The Halloween Pub Crawl is organized from start to finish. You get a wristband at check-in, a map showing every stop, and drink specials at each bar that are only available to crawl ticket holders. The route is set, the bars are ready, and all you need is a costume.
The bar district in Columbus has real character, and the Halloween crawl gives you the best version of it in a single night. Everyone is in costume, everyone is in the same spirit, and the route takes you through spots you will want to come back to.
Groups, pairs, and solo crawlers all find their groove by the second or third stop. The format is built for meeting people and the crowd on the route makes it easy. Buy your ticket, figure out your costume, and plan to stay out later than you expected.
