Cleveland Bar Crawls: From Ugly Sweaters to Tacos, Tequila & More

Since 2015, Bar Crawl USA & Cleveland Bar Crawls have been bringing unforgettable experiences to Cleveland with some of the city’s most exciting and unique bar crawls. What started with a single holiday-themed crawl in Lakewood has grown into three of the city’s most iconic events, each with its own personality, crowd, and tradition.

🎅 The Famous Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl – Lakewood

Cleveland first got a taste of Bar Crawl USA with our Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl in Lakewood back in 2015. This event has become a holiday staple and sells out every year.

What makes it special?

• No ticket, no lanyard, no entry – our signature system keeps things smooth.

• A lively registration party at Around The Corner to kick things off.

• Four groups of crawlers rotating every hour through different bars.

• Everyone uniting at one epic after party to finish the night.

It’s the only bar crawl in Cleveland that brings this kind of structured, group-based rotation — keeping energy high and bars balanced all night.

🌮 Taco & Tequila Bar Crawl – Downtown Cleveland

Launched in 2017, our Taco & Tequila Bar Crawl quickly became one of downtown Cleveland’s favorite events.

• Crowds of 1,000–2,500 crawlers every year.

• Hosted at iconic venues like The Ivy, Dive Bar, Barley House, Velvet Dog (RIP), Camino, and Maproom.

• The only crawl where every ticket includes multiple tacos 🍴 — pairing tacos with tequila cocktails is the perfect way to celebrate.

This event has become a Cleveland tradition and one of our biggest yearly crawls.

🍀 St. Patrick’s Green Mile Bar Crawl – West Park

St. Patrick’s Day in Cleveland wouldn’t be the same without our Green Mile Bar Crawl in the West Park bar district.

• Stops at neighborhood favorites like West Park Station, Backstage, PJ’s, Smedley’s, and more.

• Kicks off with a registration party led by live Irish bagpipers, setting the festive tone.

• Over 500+ crawlers decked in green make this an unforgettable St. Patrick’s Day tradition.

It’s the only Cleveland bar crawl that blends live music, Irish culture, and a rotating bar crawl into one.
