Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, and you know what that means: chips, guac, and margs all around! And Downtown Crawlers make the most of this holiday with not one but THREE bar crawls in May. 

“Drinko de Mayo,” as some call it, falls on a Wednesday this year, but if you can’t make it out that night- or simply don’t want to wait- Downtown Crawlers has you covered with their Pre-Cinco de Mayo Bar Crawl and Fiesta on Saturday, May 1. 

The fun begins 3-7 p.m. at one of four check-in points; if you’re in Downtown Tampa, you’ll check in at American Social or Park & Rec Tampa, and South Tampa crawlers will check in at The Patio Tampa or SoHo Saloon. For a list of all participating bars, visit the Downtown Crawlers website

In addition to enough fun to power you through the rest of the month, this bar crawl also includes: 

  • Free entry to all bars
  • Five free welcome drinks at five bars of your choice
  • Exclusive food and drink specials at every bar
  • Free Jello Shots by The Original Jel Shot Company
  • Bar games to win drink vouchers and more
  • Coast Bike and Hopr $10 off promo code

If you love tequila, then you’re in for a special treat as Ghost Tequila will also be at some bars offering samples and shots for you to try along your journey. 

Gather your amigos for a good time and buy your tickets now before this popular event sells out! And, the more the merrier, because you can get five tickets for the price of four. 

Next up on the calendar are two bar Crawls on Cinco de Mayo in Tampa and St. Petersburg!

The Cinco de Mayo Bar Crawl in Tampa begins on Wednesday, May 5 with you check in to American Social or Park & Rec Tampa between 3-7 p.m. Other participating bars include: District Tavern, Maloney's Local Irish Pub Downtown Tampa, American Social, Yeoman's Cask & Lion, and GenX Tavern .

If the margs are calling your name on May 5, be sure to buy tickets now for you and your friends as Cinco de Mayo events sell out quickly! Also, bring five friends and pay for only four tickets! 

Downtown Crawlers and participating bars want you to have fun while remaining safe, which is why there will be no busses, and each bar has their own COVID-19 precautions and rules. One precaution some bars have includes a capacity limit, so you may be asked to come back at a later time if a bar is too crowded.
