Valentine's Day Crawl

Boston is Drunkest City in America

Posted on

It’s good to be on top. According to the Daily Beast, Boston is the drunkest city in America. Congrats to Boston! It’s no wonder bar crawls do so well here. Love it.

Based on their criteria, here’s how Boston did when it came to drinking

  • Avg. alcoholic drinks consumed by adults per month: 15.6
  • Percentage of population classified as binge drinkers: 20.1%
  • Percentage of population classified as heavy drinkers: 7.4%

Just imagine how well we’d do if we had happy hours (or perhaps this is the reason we don’t)

With this news, we’re feeling like slackers as you probably need more events out of us. So we’re working on bringing more fun events to you in 2013.

We don’t have enough time to plan something for January but the Valentine’s Crawl is about a month away. Tickets to the Valentine’s Crawl will be $20 until 1/12/13. Prices change to $25 until we sell out.

Merry Christmas (and what we want for X-Mas)

Merry Christmas from the Crawl In Boston Team.

We hope that Santa treated you very, very well.

You’ve hopefully finished your holiday shopping at this point however we have a request from Crawl In Boston and it won’t cost you anything.

Please help us spread the word so 2013 can be our best year ever!

If you haven’t already, we’d love it if you’d follow us via e-mail (which can be done on the top right of this page), Twitter, Pinterest and “like” Crawl In Boston on Facebook.

We have a lot of fun things planned in 2013. And the more people we can get to attend, the easier it is to get deals.

Posted on Updated on

IMG_0044Thanks for coming yesterday. Hope you made it to most, if not all, of our 12 Bars of X-Mas. Photo Booth pictures now available here.

If you did take pictures yesterday and posted on facebook, please tag Crawl In Boston.

Next up is our first ever New Year’s Eve Party: OPEN BAR. Yesterday we had about 1,400 attend. For New Year’s Eve we only have 160 total tickets and many have already been sold. So please buy soon. We won’t have the ability to add more tickets as the venue can only fit a certain amount of people. Here’s our NYE Pinterest Page for inspiration.

Our next crawl will be our Valentine’s event. We’re still ironing out those details but tickets should be available soon. Save the date: 2/9/13.

Cheers! -C.I.B.

CRAWL TODAY!

Posted on Updated on

Hello Crawlers!

The Valentine’s Crawl is TODAY. I hope you’ve found your perfect Valentine’s outfit and are raring to crawl with us. I just have a few reminders/orders of business to ensure everything goes smoothly and everyone has a fantastic time.

1.) Holiday themed attire isn’t required but are highly encouraged. Please wear pink, red or black.

2.) You don’t need to show up to the first bar to join the crawl. We may run out of koozies (limited to 1,100) but you’re welcome to join at any point during the event.

We will have staff at each of the 12:30 and 2:30 bars. Things get a but crazy come mid-afternoon. Last year we had trouble getting into some of the bars. So we’ll be consolidating our effforts for the 4:30 and later bars. If you’d still like to register then, we’ll be all over facebook and twitter with our locations. We will be wearing shirts that read “BAR CRAWL STAFF” on front. We’ll also all be wearing red light up necklaces and pins. We’re hoping it’s going to be easy to spot us.

3.) PLEASE come with the exact amount that you would like to give for your donation. We know it may be a pain, but it really keeps things moving if we don’t have to find/make change.  And if we don’t have change, you’ll have to break your $20 yourself and come back through the line. If you haven’t, take a minute to look at the website for our charity: The Hattie B Cooper Community Center. It’s a great organization. As always, we thank our Crawlers for their extreme generosity!

4.) Thanks to our many, many dedicated crawlers, the turnouts have been huge. If we get the anticipated turnout like we did for Halloween and Christmas and the scheduled bar fills up, you can skip around the schedule.  For instance, Paddy O’s is on the schedule at 4:30, but they will be ready to welcome crawlers much earlier. The bars know we’re coming and will be prepared.  We just want to remind everyone to have a good time and be kind to the bar staff and your fellow crawlers. If you don’t get a chance to see us, you can always go to Hattie B Cooper Community Center. and make a donation there.

5.) Like I mentioned before, for updates check out Twitter or Facebook. We’ll be updating all day to let you know where we’re at.

6.) I’m going to say it again. PLEASE come with the exact amount you’d like to donate.

7.) It’s looking like snow so be extra careful

The SCHEDULE is here (as mentioned earlier, feel free to freelance and skip around as many bars may reach capacity early, you can always go back later)

In other news…please join us for Brahmin Social Sunday. We’re keeping the party going the next day.

And once again we’ve teamed up with Tenon Tours for their St. Patrick’s Day event on 3/10/12. Tickets on sale now.  Some bars close to selling out. Please select “Team Crawl In Boston”

Thanks, and hope to see you soon. Cheers!

But we’re not stopping there, on Sunday the party will continue at Brahmin Social Sunday.  If you want a table make reservations NOW, they go quickly.

Here’s some good information to know:

Who is Crawl in Boston?

Crawl in Boston is a social networking group that gives professionals a chance to meet new people in a casual and fun atmosphere. People of all ages have gathered to join the bar crawls, and we’ve raised money  for local charities. We also spread the word about other similar events we’ve heard about, as well as new places and bar/restaurant specials. We’re bringing people together, one drink at a time for local charities

What is the Hattie B. Cooper Community Center?

The Hattie B. Cooper Community Center has served Greater Roxbury and surrounding neighborhoods for over 93 years, providing underserved children and their families vital educational services that facilitate growth and development, and creating groundwork for future successes.

What does this event cost?

Crawl in Boston wants to provide you with as much fun as possible for as little as possible! – Crawlers are responsible for their own drinks.

Pictures from some of our past events can be found here

How Do I Sign Up?

We don’t have official registration. We only ask you RSVP on the Facebook event ASAP. This gives us a better idea on how many people are coming. We can better arrange our schedule so the bars have enough staff to accommodate you all. Also helps let us know how many koozies to order.

What to wear?

Please wear something red, pink or black to keep in the holiday spirit. If you want to dress as cupid, that’s more than encouraged.

What’s the schedule? TBA. Keep checking!
