Chicago Halloween Bar Crawl — Halloween Friday, Fri, Oct 30

Details

When Halloween Friday rolls in, Chicago belongs to the night owls. This isn’t just a bar hop — it’s a moving costume party across the city’s nightlife. On October 30th, 2026, expect packed dance floors, creative costumes, and drinks that only appear once a year.

✔️ Admission to 4+ participating venues

✔️ Wristband for access and drink deals

✔️ Zero cover charges at crawl stops

✔️ Digital crawl map to guide your route

✔️ DJs and entertainment throughout

From vampires to movie icons, everyone shows up ready to make a scene. Grab friends or roll solo — either way, you’ll be part of a city-wide takeover with:

🍹 Crawl-only cocktails and shots

🎶 High-energy sets from DJs spinning Halloween remixes and party favorites

👻 Venues transformed with spooky themes and live entertainment

• Check-In | 8:30–10:30 PM: Pick up your wristband at the opening venue.
• Main Crawl | 9:00–11:30 PM: Explore middle stops at your own pace.
• Finale | 11:30 PM–2 AM: Everyone comes together for the closing party.

🚨 Wristbands are gone after 10:30 PM on Friday — arrive inside the check-in window or you will not get in.

The official list drops closer to the event. Each location will feature its own atmosphere, music, and specials. On event day, open the Digital Crawl Map for the full schedule and details.

• Be early: no wristband pickup after the check-in window closes.
• Can’t make check-in? A friend can pick yours up.
• Costumes encouraged — just leave the props that could be mistaken for weapons at home.
• Check the Digital Map morning-of for any last-minute changes.

🎟 Early Bird — $15 (limited supply). The cheapest way in; once they’re gone, they’re gone.

🍻 GA Group Discount — $20 each, minimum 2 per order. Bring the crew and everyone saves.

🎫 General Admission — $25. Access to every official crawl stop.

🔒 Capacity is capped — once sold out, that’s it. Prices increase as Halloween nears.

• Age & Entry

21+ only. Valid government-issued photo ID required at every stop. No exceptions.

• Wristbands

Your wristband is mandatory for venue entry. Pick it up during the check-in window shown above. No late pickups — no wristband, no entry, no refund.

• Tickets & Refunds

All sales are final. Non-refundable and non-transferable. If the event is cancelled without a rescheduled date, refunds are issued automatically (excluding processing fees).

• Venue Rights & Capacity

Venues may refuse entry for intoxication, capacity, dress code violations, or inappropriate behaviour, with no refund. Entry is first-come, first-served at each stop — a wristband does not guarantee immediate access if a venue is full.

• Self-Guided Crawl

This is a self-paced crawl with no host leading the group. Use the digital map to move between venues. Not all venue staff may be aware of crawl details — use the event contact info on the map if needed.

• Drink Specials

Offered by participating venues and may change or end without notice.

• Conduct & Costumes

Offensive or dangerous costumes — including anything that could be considered or used as a weapon — may lead to denial of entry without refund. Disorderly conduct or damage to venues will result in removal without refund.

• Drink Responsibly — Never Drink and Drive

We DO NOT condone drinking and driving. Use Uber, Lyft, a taxi, public transit, or a designated driver to get home safely. You are solely responsible for your own alcohol consumption, your own safety, and your own actions for the entire duration of this event.

By purchasing a ticket and participating, you attend entirely at your own risk and voluntarily assume all risks incidental to this event, including but not limited to personal injury, illness, disability, property loss or theft, accidents, alcohol-related incidents, and death, whether caused by your own actions, the actions of other participants, or otherwise. You, on behalf of yourself and your heirs and assigns, fully release, waive and discharge the organizers, their owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, sponsors, participating venues and their representatives from any and all liability, claims or causes of action arising out of any loss, damage, injury, illness or death occurring before, during or after the event — including claims of negligence — and you agree to indemnify and hold them harmless. Attendees are wholly responsible for their own conduct and its consequences.
