Halloween Pub Crawl San Francisco

On Thursday, October 31, as the sun sets over the Bay, San Francisco will come alive with the final and most anticipated event of the Halloween season—the CrawlSF Halloween Bar Crawl. It’s the grand finale of a three-part celebration, and this night promises to outdo them all, as Lower Polk Street transforms into a buzzing epicenter of costumed revelry.

For Halloween purists and partygoers alike, this is the must-attend event of the season. With over 10 of San Francisco’s best bars taking part, from R Bar to Mayes, McTeague’s, The Royale, and more, this crawl isn’t just about moving from one venue to another—it’s about experiencing the city in full Halloween spirit. Drink specials flow freely, offering exclusive discounts at every stop, and DJs will set the tone for a night of celebration, spinning tracks to keep the energy electric throughout.

As with every great Halloween party, there’s a competitive edge. The Costume Contest encourages attendees to show up in their most creative and audacious get-ups, vying for top prizes. From eerie to extravagant, the costumes will be on full display as participants strut their stuff across the crawl. And for those seeking more than just costume glory, the Find the Gnome Contest adds a playful scavenger hunt element to the evening, sending revelers on a quest to uncover hidden treasures.

Beyond the drink specials and contests, it’s the atmosphere that sets this crawl apart. Halloween in San Francisco is already an immersive experience, but the CrawlSF Halloween Bar Crawl elevates it, blending the city’s diverse nightlife with an infectious sense of community. Each bar brings its own character, and with party favors scattered throughout the crawl, surprises await at every turn.

Check-in starts at Mayes Oyster House, a long-time San Francisco staple, where crawlers will receive their wristbands, event maps, and the essential details to navigate the night. From there, it’s up to you—whether you stick to your favorite haunt or explore every corner of Lower Polk Street, the night belongs to you and your fellow Halloween adventurers.

As the grand finale of the Crawloween series, Thursday’s event is poised to draw the biggest crowds, so early ticket purchases are essential. With an unbeatable mix of drink specials, costume creativity, and a vibrant bar scene, this is the best way to close out the Halloween season in San Francisco. Prepare for a night of unforgettable revelry and make sure your costume game is on point—this is one Halloween party you won’t want to miss.
