In San Francisco, one event stands out as the undisputed centerpiece of St. Patrick's Day: the LepraCon Pub Crawl. Organized by CrawlSF on Saturday, March 14, this annual tradition transforms parts of the city into a party unlike any other.
The biggest St. Patrick's Day party in San Francisco, LepraCon draws more than 15,000 attendees each year, turning streets and bars into a lively party full of of costumes, drinks and fun. CrawlSF, known across the Bay Area for producing some of the most amazing events, has crafted a three-day experience around the holiday. Friday, March 13, offers an evening kickoff, Tuesday, March 17 (the actual St. Patrick's Day), provides a festive closer, but Saturday stands as the main event with the largest crowds.
Participants check in at spots like Mayes Oyster House at 1233 Polk Street in Polk Gulch or Rick & Roxy’s at 2131 Lombard Street in the Marina. From there, the crawl unfolds across a wide array of participating bars, including longtime favorites such as R Bar, Decodance, Lush Lounge, Union Street Ale House, Silver Cloud, The Blue Light, Hanaro, Westwood, Kung Fu Action Theater, Jaxson, Route 101, El Lopo, White Rabbit, Shanghai Kelly’s, Amsterdam Cafe, Comet Club, McTeague’s, The Buccaneer, and Wreck Room, among others. These venues span neighborhoods like Polk Gulch, the Marina, Russian Hill & beyond, creating a walkable (or rideable) circuit that keeps the momentum going all afternoon and into the evening.
Ticket holders enjoy exclusive drink specials—think discounted green beer, Irish whiskey shots, Guinness pints, and themed cocktails—along with no cover charges at participating bars. Live DJs at select spots provide the soundtrack, spinning upbeat tracks that range from Celtic remixes to classic party anthems, turning every stop into a mini dance floor. On Saturday especially, a free party bus shuttle service connects the dots, sparing pub crawlers the hassle of traffic or long walks while adding an extra layer of communal fun.
The atmosphere is one of joyful chaos in the best sense: friends in green outfits linking arms, strangers becoming instant comrades over a shared round, and the occasional impromptu sing-alongs drifting through open doors. For more than 10 years, CrawlSF has refined this formula, making LepraCon the best way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in San Francisco.
