About this Event
🎃 CHICAGO NORTHSIDE HALLOWEEN BAR CRAWL 🎃
THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE BAR CRAWL.
INTRODUCING THE FIRST-EVER CHICAGO NORTHSIDE HALLOWEEN CRAWL!
📅 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2026
⏰ 11 AM – 5 AM (WHEN THE LAST BAR CLOSES)
📍 LINCOLN PARK • OLD TOWN
18 BARS. ONE TICKET. A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE.
WE'RE CHANGING THE BAR CRAWL GAME IN CHICAGO.
Unlike typical bar crawls that simply put together a list of participating venues and offer basic drink specials, we've been putting in the work behind the scenes, coordinating directly with every participating bar to bring you exclusive drink deals, FREE Halloween experiences, crawl-only entry windows, complimentary welcome shots, sponsor activations, and live entertainment.
✅ NO SURPRISES. WE'VE DONE THE WORK SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE CRAWL.
We've confirmed arrangements directly with participating venues, so you're not showing up wondering whether a bar is actually honoring the advertised benefits. We'll also have staff on-site to help with any issues that arise.
Every bar offers something different. Every stop gives you another reason to keep crawling.
This isn't just access to bars. It's an entire Halloween experience built around your ticket.
Specific offers, times, and activations remain subject to change.
