Riverside, CA
New Years Eve Pub Crawls
Riverside enters the New Year with the Inland Empire energy that this city has been building for years. The Mission Inn Hotel and the surrounding downtown streets are genuinely beautiful and on New Years Eve the Festival of Lights that decorates the Mission Inn creates one of the most festive settings for a pub crawl in Southern California.
Our Riverside New Years Eve Pub Crawl moves through downtown Riverside and the Mission Inn corridor, stopping at venues that take advantage of the spectacular setting this city offers on December 31st. The bars downtown have benefited from the revival of this neighborhood and the venues we partner with are among the best examples of that improvement.
The Festival of Lights at the Mission Inn makes Riverside in December a destination that Inland Empire residents and Los Angeles visitors seek out specifically for the visual experience. The bar scene surrounding it is excellent and our crawl positions you to experience both in a single organized night.
Our hosts manage the downtown Riverside route efficiently. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the midnight countdown happens with the Mission Inn as the backdrop, which is honestly one of the most impressive settings for a New Year celebration in all of California.
