Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Houston closes out the year with the Texas-sized holiday energy and Montrose neighborhood warmth that makes its Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl one of the most entertaining December nights in the South. The Houston bar scene is diverse, creative, and genuinely excellent and when the holiday season arrives and the ugly sweaters come out of storage, the whole city throws itself into the celebration.
Our Houston Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl moves through Midtown or Montrose depending on the year, stopping at venues that know how to throw a proper holiday party. The sweater competition in Houston is notoriously fierce since Texans do not do anything halfway and the creativity of the crowd on this night is something that has to be seen to be believed.
December in Houston is mild and Southern, typically ranging from 48 to 62 degrees at night. The weather is essentially perfect for an ugly sweater crawl since the sweater provides all the warmth you need and the walk between venues is completely comfortable. Houston’s holiday spirit is infectious and the bar energy on ugly sweater night is one of the most festive in Texas.
Our hosts manage the Houston route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest keeps the competitive spirit alive from the moment check-in opens through the final venue of the night.
