Ann Arbor Bar Crawl Tips
Bring Valid ID
Michigan bars are strict about checking IDs. Bring your driver's license or passport — no exceptions!
Dress for the Weather
Michigan weather is unpredictable! Layer up for fall/winter crawls and bring a jacket even in summer for AC-heavy bars.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
You'll be walking between South U and downtown venues. Skip the heels and wear comfortable shoes or boots.
Eat Before You Drink
Grab Zingerman's, BTB Burrito, or pizza before the crawl. Ann Arbor's food is amazing but lines get long on weekends!
