San Francisco, CA
Ugly Sweater Pub Crawls
San Francisco’s Ugly Sweater Pub Crawl brings the City by the Bay’s beloved bar culture and California holiday spirit to the holiday sweater tradition in one of the great bar cities of America. The Mission, the Castro, and North Beach are three of the most celebrated bar neighborhoods in the country and on ugly sweater night San Francisco’s combination of creative culture, tech innovation, and genuine San Francisco eccentricity produces a sweater competition that is unlike anything else in America.
Our San Francisco route moves through the Mission and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the extraordinary diversity and quality of what San Francisco bar culture has always been. The ugly sweater competition in SF draws on the city’s deep creative tradition and the entries here are consistently the most inventive, elaborate, and genuinely surprising of any ugly sweater event on the West Coast.
December in San Francisco is mild but foggy, typically ranging from 45 to 55 degrees at night. The Bay Area winter is real in its own way and the fog that gives San Francisco its mystical quality is present in December. The Mission District holiday decorations mix Latin American and American holiday traditions in ways that create a uniquely San Francisco festive atmosphere.
Our hosts manage the San Francisco route with local knowledge. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the ugly sweater contest brings Bay Area creative genius to the holiday season.
