Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Milwaukee’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the Brew City’s beloved bar culture and Wisconsin holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition in one of America’s great beer and bar cities. The Historic Third Ward and Brady Street are two of the finest bar neighborhoods in Wisconsin and on ugly sweater night the combination of brewing heritage, Milwaukee community warmth, and the excellent bar scene creates a holiday celebration that reflects the full quality of what this great Midwest city has always done.
Our Milwaukee route moves through the Third Ward and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the extraordinary beer and bar culture that has made Milwaukee famous around the world. The ugly sweater competition in Milwaukee draws on the creativity of a community that has combined German brewing tradition with genuine Midwestern warmth and the entries reflect that cultural richness applied to the holiday sweater.
December in Milwaukee is cold with Lake Michigan contributing to significant cold and possible snow, typically ranging from 18 to 28 degrees at night. The Brew City winter is real and the Third Ward holiday decorations are beautiful. The Milwaukee bar community has the warmth and quality that makes this city one of the most welcoming pub crawl destinations in the Midwest.
Our hosts manage the Milwaukee route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Brew City creativity to the holiday season.
