If a venue closes unexpectedly, the crawl continues at all other participating locations. We update attendees if any major changes happen. You can proceed to an alternative bar on the crawl map.
Q: Did this event happen? We didn’t see any people.
Yes! Crawls are self-paced, and people move between bars at different times. You might not see large groups unless you stick to the suggested schedule which is highly recommended.
Q: Why do I need to line up if I have a wristband?
Even with a wristband, you are required to line up as there is often security checks at each bar. Just because you’ve been ID’d and checked in at one bar, doesn’t ensure that someone hasn’t brought something potentially harmful between stops. Security line-ups at each venue is for your safety, and the safety of other crawlers.
