The Naughty List Bar Crawl

The Naughty List Bar Crawl takes over Ballpark Village on Saturday, December 12, from 6 PM to 1 AM. It's a 21+ event run by Elevate Crawls, and the whole thing is built around the holiday season—the kind of night you go to after you've survived Thanksgiving and are ready to make Santa nervous.

The first thing to know is the dress code: full holiday chaos. They're encouraging ugly sweaters, Santa hats, elf outfits, Grinch fits, reindeer antlers, and Christmas pajamas. When you arrive, you pick a side—Nice List or Naughty List—and wear the corresponding button. From there, you work your way through the participating bars with a crawl wristband and party beads, and you get into each one without a cover. Every spot on the route is running Christmas drink specials, so you can keep the seasonal cocktails going all night.

There are a few different ticket tiers to choose from. The standard Nice List Pass gets you the basics, but the higher levels add more to the mix. The Santa's Favorite VIP tier is the top end, and it bundles in Christmas food and drink samples, a VIP Santa hat, priority check-in, and a welcome shot to kick things off. If you're going with a group, it's the kind of night where the costumes are half the fun, so the more people you bring in their worst holiday gear, the better.

Practical stuff: you'll need a valid government-issued ID to get in, and paid parking is available around the venue. Tickets start at $14.88, and the crawl runs from 6 PM to 1 AM at Ballpark Village, 601 Clark Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63102.
