Halloween Pub Crawl

If you’re looking for the ultimate Halloween night out in San Francisco, the San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl on Thursday, October 31 is where you need to be. Known as the city's biggest Halloween event, this festive night offers a thrilling way to experience the vibrant bar scene along Lower Polk Street—with costumes, cocktails, and camaraderie around every corner.

The Perfect Halloween Night Out

This Halloween crawl, produced by CrawlSF, is the third installment in a four-day series of pub crawls, each more exciting than the last. But Thursday night’s edition is extra special—it’s Halloween night, the pinnacle of the spooky season. Whether you’re dressed as a skeleton, witch, or something altogether outrageous, this is where San Francisco’s nightlife truly comes alive.

From 6PM to 11PM, the festivities take over Lower Polk Street, and with more than 15 bars participating, you’ll never be far from your next drink special, DJ set, or impromptu dance party. The best part? No cover charges at participating venues and instant access to each spot with your event wristband.

Participating Bars and Where to Go

The variety of bars on the crawl ensures that every reveler will find their perfect vibe. Start your night at Mayes Oyster House—the check-in spot and home base—before making your way through the eclectic nightlife lineup. From the retro vibes at Route 101 to the laid-back charm of Amsterdam Cafe, each bar offers something unique.

If you’re in the mood for live music and DJs, head to Music City or McTeague’s. Looking for inventive cocktails? Don’t miss El Lopo and the stylish Zhuzh. And for those chasing the more whimsical side of Halloween, Kung Fu Action Theater or Decodance deliver offbeat surprises that make this crawl stand out.

Some additional favorites to explore:

Mayes for danceable beats and high energy
Lush Lounge for craft cocktails and a cozy atmosphere
Hemlock Tavern if you’re after a more underground vibe
Uni Pizza for a quick slice to fuel your night

What to Expect

The pub crawl is designed to be easy and fun, with check-in at Mayes Oyster House (1233 Polk Street) from 6 PM to 9 PM. Once you’ve secured your wristband, the night is yours to explore the many participating bars and enjoy drink specials, DJs, costume contests, and more.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Halloween crawl without costumes—so break out your wildest outfits and prepare to dance the night away with fellow ghouls, goblins, and party-goers. The costume contest ensures there’s friendly competition among attendees, with prizes waiting for the most creative costumes.
