Haunted Halloween Bar Crawl 2025 | Chicago Halloween Weekend Crawl

When the sun goes down and the taps start flowing, Chicago turns into a haunted playground for beer lovers and partygoers alike. This Halloween weekend, the Haunted Halloween Bar Crawl will lead you through 4+ of the city’s top pubs, breweries, and nightlife spots, each transformed into a ghostly good time.

This Friday, October 31st, 2025, hundreds of costumed crawlers will gather to sip seasonal brews, knock back themed shots, and dance to DJ sets that blend Halloween classics with high-energy club anthems. Whether you prefer a rich pumpkin ale, a crisp lager, or a spooky cocktail, there’s something waiting for you at every stop.

🍻 Exclusive Drink Specials: Seasonal beers, craft cocktails, and frightfully fun shooters.

🎶 Live DJs & Entertainment: The soundtrack to your Halloween, from “Thriller” to Top 40 bangers.
