Pasadena CA
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
Pasadena’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the City of Roses’ bar culture and Southern California holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition in one of Los Angeles County’s most beautiful and historic cities. Old Pasadena and the Colorado Boulevard bar district have developed into an excellent bar scene and on ugly sweater night the combination of Rose Bowl energy, the historic Craftsman neighborhood character, and the excellent Pasadena bars creates a holiday celebration with a City of Roses sophistication that is completely distinct from the broader LA experience.
Our Pasadena route moves through Old Pasadena and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full quality of what Pasadena’s excellent bar scene has built. The ugly sweater competition in Pasadena draws on the creative energy of a city with CalTech and Art Center communities and the entries reflect that Pasadena combination of scientific and artistic excellence with genuine holiday fun.
December in Pasadena is mild and beautiful, typically ranging from 48 to 60 degrees at night. The Southern California inland winter is excellent weather and Old Pasadena at Christmas with the historic buildings lit up for the holidays creates one of the most charming holiday pub crawl settings in Los Angeles County.
Our hosts manage the Pasadena route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings City of Roses creativity to the holiday season.
