San Francisco St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl: LepraCon
As March approaches, the city prepares for its most spirited celebration: the annual LepraCon St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl, produced by CrawlSF. Set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., this longstanding event stands as the premier way to mark the holiday, drawing thousands for a lively, green-clad tour of the city's best bars.
Expect the signature perks that have made it legendary: a complimentary party bus shuttle to hop between venues, no cover charges at participating spots, exclusive drink specials, DJs spinning throughout the day, festive party favors, and the whimsical "Find the Gnome" contest offering prizes for those who spot the hidden figures.
The crawl spans neighborhoods like Polk Gulch, Russian Hill, and the Marina, with check-in at Mayes Oyster House (1233 Polk Street) or Rick & Roxy’s (2131 Lombard Street). Participants gain wristband access to more than 20 bars, including R Bar, Decodance, Lush Lounge, Union Street Ale House, Silver Cloud, The Blue Light, Hanaro, Westwood, Kung Fu Action Theater, Jaxson, Route 101, Mayes Oyster House, Rick & Roxy's, El Lopo, White Rabbit, Shanghai Kelly’s, Amsterdam Cafe, Comet Club, McTeagues, The Buccaneer, Wreck Room, and others.
Part of a three-day weekend of festivities (with additional crawls on March 13 and March 17), Saturday's main event promises the peak energy: a sea of shamrocks, laughter, toasts, and spontaneous dancing amid San Francisco's hilly streets. For those seeking the ultimate St. Patrick's Day experience in the city, Lepracon is it.
