As the sun sets on Halloween season, San Francisco keeps the party alive with the San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl: Dia de Los Muertos Edition. Taking place on Saturday, November 1, this final chapter of the legendary CrawlSF Crawloween celebrates both the spooky spirit of Halloween and the traditions of Dia de Los Muertos. From 4 PM to 10 PM, people will flood the Marina and Polk Gulch neighborhoods, transforming some of the city’s best bars into a festive fusion of two extraordinary holidays.

Halloween Meets Dia de Los Muertos

While Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) share some surface similarities—costumes, decorations, and a celebratory vibe, their roots and meanings are quite distinct. Halloween, steeped in Celtic traditions, focuses on playful spookiness and the supernatural. In contrast, Dia de Los Muertos is a deeply meaningful Mexican tradition that honors and celebrates loved ones who have passed, blending colors, music, and offerings to the departed.

For one night, the CrawlSF Pub Crawl captures the essence of both. Attendees are encouraged to embrace both traditions: wear your most creative Halloween costumes or paint your face in the striking calavera (sugar skull) designs that symbolize Dia de Los Muertos. Either way, you’ll be part of a celebration that’s uniquely San Francisco.

The Crawl Experience

The San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl is renowned as the largest Halloween event in the Bay Area, and its grand finale promises to deliver. Starting at one of two check-in locations—Rick & Roxy’s (2131 Lombard Street) or Mayes Oyster House (1233 Polk Street)—participants will receive wristbands, maps, and festive party favors to gear up for the evening.

From there, it’s a journey through some of the city’s top bars, including Westwood, Route 101, Lush Lounge, Mcteague’s, El Lopo, and The Blue Light. With discounted drink specials and free entry at every venue, the night is as easy on the wallet as it is unforgettable.

Discounted Drinks: Enjoy exclusive specials on craft cocktails, local brews, and more at every stop.
Party Favors: Deck yourself out with glow sticks, hats, and accessories to match the night’s festive vibe.
Find the Gnome Contest: Hidden gnomes at participating venues offer a fun scavenger hunt element, with prizes for the lucky few who spot them.
Neighborhood Charm: The Marina and Polk Gulch provide a walkable route full of eclectic bars and lively energy, ensuring no dull moments.

Why You Can’t Miss This Event

As the final night of the iconic Crawloween, the Dia de Los Muertos Pub Crawl offers a chance to close out the Halloween season in spectacular fashion. It’s a night that bridges two traditions, bringing together the playfulness of Halloween with the cultural depth and beauty of Dia de Los Muertos.

Whether you’re sipping a discounted margarita at Sacred Taco, dancing to DJs at Comet Club, or spotting a gnome at Amsterdam Cafe, every moment is packed with memories waiting to be made.

This is a celebration that blends the best of Halloween and Día de los Muertos into one unforgettable night. Whether you’re in face paint, a costume, or just ready to enjoy great drinks and even better company, the San Francisco Halloween Pub Crawl: Day of the Dead Edition will be the ultimate way to wrap up the spooky season.
