Forget haunted houses and overpriced “spooky” cocktails—Halloween in San Francisco really starts when thousands of people in wild costumes swarm Polk Street for the CrawlSF Halloween Pub Crawl. It’s not just a bar crawl, it’s four nights of controlled chaos, and it all kicks off on Friday, October 24 from 6PM to 11PM.
Check in at Mayes Oyster House (1233 Polk Street), snag your wristband, and you’re off. From there it’s a nonstop ride through some of SF’s best bars: McTeague’s, Route 101, R Bar, Lush Lounge, Decodance, Kung Fu Action Theater, Amsterdam, Hanaro, El Lopo, Wreck Room—and that’s just the start. Every spot is wired up with drink specials, DJs, and zero cover charges, so you can spend less time waiting and more time dancing in a costume that might not survive the night.
Expect party favors, ridiculous contests, and the legendary “Find the Gnome” hunt, which always ends up weirder than it sounds. Friday is just the kickoff—Crawloween rages on October 25, October 31, and November 1—but opening night is where the real magic happens. If you want the kind of Halloween story you can’t tell your boss on Monday, this is where you’ll find it.
