San Francisco Halloween Bar Crawl 2026

Halloween does not have to wait until October 31. On Saturday, October 24, CrawlSF will get the celebration started early with the opening event of its 4 Day San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl experience.

Taking place from 4PM to 10PM, this annual event gives you an extra weekend to wear costumes, meet up with friends and celebrate at some of the best bars along Polk Street and in the surrounding area. It is the first day of the full Halloween Pub Crawl series and a great chance to get into the Halloween spirit early.

The event begins at Mayes Oyster House. Guests will check in at Mayes, receive their event wristbands and get access to the official pub crawl route. From there, participants can visit a growing list of participating bars at their own pace.

The current lineup includes Mayes Oyster House, Sacred Taco, Rick & Roxy's, Lush Lounge, Union Street Ale House, Silver Cloud, Music City Starfactory, Route 101, El Lopo, Hanaro, Jaxson, The Blue Light, Decodance, Beso Mae, R Bar, Uni Pizza, Wizards & Wands, Campus, White Rabbit, Comet Club, Rockwell, McTeague’s Saloon, Westwood and more. Each location offers its own atmosphere, giving you plenty of options throughout the afternoon and evening. Stop by a neighborhood saloon, dance to music from local DJs, grab food along the route or meet up with other costumed pub crawl guests at the next bar.

One of the biggest benefits of joining the San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl is access to discounted drink specials at participating locations. Instead of spending the entire event at one crowded bar, you can move between multiple venues and enjoy a different Halloween experience at every stop.

Costumes are strongly encouraged. Since this is the opening event of the four day celebration, it is a perfect opportunity to test out a new costume, bring back an old favorite or put together a group theme with friends. The event will also feature contests, party favors, DJs and other Halloween surprises along the route.

Saturday, October 24 is especially fun because it spreads Halloween celebrations across two weekends. You do not have to fit every party, costume and group outing into Halloween weekend itself. This opening event provides another full day to celebrate while building excitement for the remaining dates in the CrawlSF Halloween Pub Crawl series.

CrawlSF has been producing pub crawls and special events in San Francisco for more than 20 years. Its annual Halloween celebration brings together local bars, DJs, partygoers and visitors for a citywide event built around costumes, drink specials and the freedom to explore multiple venues in one day.

Whether you are planning a birthday outing, organizing a large group, visiting San Francisco for Halloween or simply looking for an excuse to wear your costume more than once, the October 24 pub crawl offers an easy way to start the season. Check in at Mayes Oyster House, grab your wristband and follow the crawl through some of Polk Street’s most popular bars.

Halloween comes quickly every year, so why celebrate it for only one night? Start early with CrawlSF and make Saturday, October 24 the official beginning of your Halloween plans.
