The Official San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl
San Francisco's fog doesn't just chill the bones—it sets the stage for the Bay Area's most gloriously unhinged Halloween tradition: The CrawlSF Halloween Pub Crawl. This four-day beast—kicking off Friday, October 24, rolling into Saturday the 25th, then crescendoing on Friday the 31st and Saturday, November 1—drew a staggering 16,000 costumed chaos agents in 2024, proving once again that SF knows how to turn "trick or treat" into "treat yourself to 40+ bars of trouble."
We're talking a whirlwind tour of the city's crown jewels: the divey delights of Polk Gulch, the hilltop haunts of Russian Hill, the breezy swagger of The Marina, and beyond. No cover charges to cramp your style, a complimentary party bus to shuttle your squad sans sobriety checks, drink specials that could tempt a teetotaling vampire, plus DJs spinning spells into bass drops, party favors to accessorize your alter ego, and surprises that'll have you whispering "did that just happen?" to your bestie. Cap it all with a Costume Contest and the amazing Find the Gnome Contest And on the third night, Friday, October 31, expect the horde to swell like a full moon, turning these streets into a sea of glitter, grit, and glorious regret.
