Where the St. Louis crawl goes
Great Grizzly Bear is on Geyer Avenue in Soulard, the historic neighborhood south of downtown known for old brick buildings, corner taverns and live music. St. Louis has more distinct bar neighborhoods than most cities its size, from Washington Avenue downtown to The Grove on Manchester Avenue and the Central West End near Forest Park. Every participating bar is on the digital map you get at check-in, and the full lineup is posted closer to the date.
Getting there and what to wear
Soulard is not right on MetroLink, so most crawlers come by rideshare, which is quick across the central city. Metro buses serve the neighborhood, and Soulard has street parking that fills up on Saturday nights, so arrive early if you drive and plan a ride home. December in St. Louis is cold without being brutal: evenings are typically in the 30s, with a chance of cold rain or light snow. Wear the ugly sweater over a warm base layer, bring a winter coat, hat and gloves, and choose shoes that grip on wet brick sidewalks. Ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged.

Ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged. St. Louis evenings in December are typically in the 30s, sometimes with cold rain or light snow, so bring a winter coat, hat and gloves. Wear shoes with decent grip for Soulard's brick sidewalks.
Is the St. Louis crawl 21+?
Yes. The St. Louis Christmas Bar Crawl is 21+, and every guest must show a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in to receive a wristband. Participating bars may check ID again at the door, so keep it handy all night. A current driver's license, state ID or passport works.
How do I get to the St. Louis Christmas Bar Crawl?
Great Grizzly Bear is in Soulard, south of downtown, which is not directly on a MetroLink line. Rideshare is the easiest way in and home, and Metro buses also serve the area. If you drive, street parking in Soulard fills up on Saturday nights, so come early and plan a ride home instead of driving after the crawl.
Where can I park for the St. Louis crawl?
Soulard has street parking on its residential blocks, but spaces near the bars fill up on Saturday nights, so arriving close to the 4:00 PM start helps. Watch posted signs and do not block driveways or alleys. A rideshare avoids the search entirely, and you should not drive after the crawl.
