🏆 Tips to Win Best Dressed at a Bar Crawl

• Choose a costume that lets you walk comfortably from bar to bar.

• Avoid masks that block vision or make it tough to sip on a cocktail.

• Group costumes or couple costumes always get extra points.

• Add props you can actually use — like a drink goblet, wand, or vampire chalice.
