Where the St. Petersburg crawl goes
Dublin Drop is on 1st Avenue North in downtown St. Pete, one block from Central Avenue. Central Avenue and the blocks of 1st Avenue North around it hold a dense run of bars, from Irish pubs to dance spots, and Beach Drive along the waterfront parks adds restaurants and wine bars. The St. Pete Pier is a short walk east if you want a view of Tampa Bay before the night gets going. 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
The Downtown Looper trolley circles the core, and PSTA buses, including the SunRunner between downtown and St. Pete Beach, connect the rest of the area. City garages and metered street parking are spread across downtown, and rideshare is the best way home. December evenings here are often in the 60s, so a heavy wool sweater can get warm in a crowded bar. Pick a lighter ugly sweater or wear one over a T-shirt, and keep a thin jacket handy in case a front brings a cool breeze off the bay. Ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged.

All sales are final, and tickets are transferable.
What should I wear to the St. Petersburg Christmas Bar Crawl?
Ugly Christmas sweaters, Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged. St. Pete evenings in December are often in the 60s, so go for a lighter sweater or wear one over a T-shirt. Bring a thin jacket in case a cold front comes through and the breeze off Tampa Bay picks up.
Is the St. Petersburg crawl 21+?
Yes. The St. Petersburg 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. Pete Christmas Bar Crawl?
The Downtown Looper trolley circles downtown, and PSTA buses, including the SunRunner from St. Pete Beach, serve the area around Dublin Drop. Drivers can use city garages or metered street parking within a few blocks of 1st Avenue North. For the ride home, rideshare is the easiest choice and much safer than driving after the crawl.
Is it too warm for an ugly sweater in St. Pete?
Not usually. Evenings in mid-December are often in the 60s, which is fine for a light sweater, especially after sunset. If you run warm, wear a thin sweater over a T-shirt, or go with a Santa hat or a lighter Christmas costume so you stay comfortable inside busy downtown bars.
