Festicrawl: The San Francisco Music Festival Pub Crawl

Calling all Bay Area music fans and nightlife lovers: Festicrawl the San Francisco Music Festival Pub Crawl is back for its second year and it’s shaping up to be the event of the spring. On Saturday May 3 2025 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. CrawlSF will transform a stretch of San Francisco bars into a rollicking blend of live music DJ beats and drink specials that’ll draw hundreds from across the region. After a standout debut in 2024 this annual bash is ready to give Oakland Berkeley Marin and South Bay folks a big reason to hop on BART bridge or ferry and join the fun.

We are accepting band DJ and artist submissions for the event. Go the the Festicrawl website and fill out the artist submission form. 

The party starts at Mayes Oyster House (1233 Polk Street) where you’ll check in and grab a wristband that unlocks the night. From there it’s a choose-your-own-adventure crawl through spots like McTeague’s El Lopo Music City SF Lush Lounge R Bar and more. Each bar becomes its own mini festival stage with bands strumming and drumming in one spot and DJs spinning in another. The lineup’s still under wraps—details are coming soon—but expect a mix of local talent that’ll keep the energy high and the crowds moving.

What’s in it for you? Your ticket gets you drink specials that make every round a steal plus extras like food deals party favors and a quirky Find the Gnome contest—spot one hidden in the bars and you’re walking away with a prize. It’s more than just a pub crawl; it’s a chance to soak up the Bay Area’s creative vibe in a way that feels fresh and fun. Last year attendees raved about the mix of music and bar-hopping freedom and 2025 promises to turn it up a notch.

For Bay Area residents San Francisco’s always been the go-to for a night out and Festicrawl makes it worth the trip. Whether you’re coming from Walnut Creek San Jose or Sausalito this is your shot to see why SF’s nightlife still sets the standard.
