A quote from the Santa Crawl website pretty much sums it all up.
“Daddy, are those real Santas?”“No, son. Those are just drunks pretending to be Santa.”– Bar Louie, December 16th, 2006And it is in fact that time of the season again, the time for hundreds of Santas to run…or stumble through the city streets jolly and drunk. And no place does it better than St. Louis.
We’ll start with the 7th Annual St. Louis Santa Crawl happening Saturday, December 8th.
In my opinion, if you’re gonna go all out and get an awesome Santa outfit, you might as well attend every Santa event you can find. However, if you have to pick only one, this one is for sure a good time! I mean, it is the only Santa crawl you’ll find in St. Louis that is part of a worldwide event with it’s own website which also lists the 265 other locations in 37 countries that also participate in this Santa madness! It starts at 5:00pm at Franklin’s at 728 Lafayette. There are also no fees or busses, just come dressed in your best Santa, elf, reindeer, whatever gear and join the hundreds of others for a fantastic night of fun. Here’s the schedule:
5:00-6:30 Franklin’s
6:30-8:00 Llewellyn’s
8:00-9:30 1860’s
9:30- 11:00 Molly’s
*Then stick around Molly’s (if you’re still standing) for the Santacon after-party starting at at 11pm.
Now if you’re not so much into Santa costumes, but still want to participate in some holiday pub crawl fun, maybe the Crawl for a Cause in the Grove, happening Saturday, December 8th from 1-6pm, is more your style.
