Tempe Bar Crawl Tips
Bring Valid ID
Arizona bars are strict about checking IDs. Bring your driver's license or passport — vertical IDs under 21 won't work!
Stay Hydrated
Desert heat is no joke! Drink plenty of water between alcoholic beverages, especially during day crawls and game days.
Dress for the Heat
Tempe is hot year-round! Wear light, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes. Most bars have AC but patios can be scorching.
Use Rideshare
Mill Avenue is walkable but use Uber/Lyft to get to and from your hotel. Never drink and drive in Arizona!
