The Restaurant Crawl 2025!

The 2025 Restaurant Crawl is back, and we're kicking off the St. Daddy’s Day celebrations early—the weekend before the weekend before St. Daddy’s Day! Because why wait to get the festivities rolling? 

We’ve teamed up with Sam Adams, Sun Cruiser, Guinness, and your favorite downtown bars and restaurants for a pre-St. Paddy’s Day bash you don’t want to miss. Over 12 restaurants will be serving up exclusive drink specials and free apps from 11 AM - 3 PM. Grab a map and get going - There's more food than you can shake a shillelagh at!

Wrap up the fun at Fury’s Publik House for the live drawing (you don’t need to be present to win for most prizes). Keep an eye out for the Leprechaun and our Sam Adams & Guinness crews for even more prizes and surprises. 

This event is rain or shine, so gather your crew and let’s get the party started—early!
