Pub crawls: Hegewisch, Boystown and a DeLorean

SHARE Pub crawls: Hegewisch, Boystown and a DeLorean

The calendar has flipped to May, which means its officially pub crawl season in Chicago. Here are three in the next week that should be very interesting:

Cinco de Mayo Bar Crawl

8 p.m.-midnight Wednesday, starting at Rockwood Place/Bar Celona

Mariachi bands will play until 9 p.m. at both opening bars, then trolleys will take the fiesta to Grand Central, then to Angels and Mariachis. Kiss FM (103.5) will be at Angels & Mariachis all night, including one of Kiss FMs Beat Freak DJs. Drink deals include $5 Cazadores margaritas, $5 Cazadores Reposado or Blanco shots and $4 Corona bottles.

Historic Pub Crawl of Hegewisch

Wednesday, 6 p.m.

Learn all about the venerable South Side neighborhood through Landmarks Illinois, sponsors the event. Its a great chance to learn a little about our fair city while having a drink or three along the way. Details are scarce on locations, but were thinking maybe some Pudgys Pizza? Chicago Pita Kitchen? The Ford Assembly Plant?

Anyway, cost is $10, or free if youre a Landmarks member. Call (312) 922-1742 or click here for more info.

Northalsted Spring Fling Pub Crawl

Saturday, May 15, 2 p.m. at Roscoes

Head to 11 fabulous venues throughout Boystown, with each stop offering $5 Absolute Acai cocktails and $4 Coronas. Included on the crawl: Bucks Saloon, Cocktail, Halsteds, Hydrate, The Lucky Horseshoe, Minibar, North End, Rehab, Roscoes, Scarlet and Spin.

Back to the Pub Crawl

Saturday, May 22, 1:30 p.m., throughout Wrigleyville

Go back in time with the ninth annual celebration of all things 80s. Your $10 entry fee gets a free T-shirt, 22-ounce cup, slap bracelet, beads and all sorts of beer specials. Performances by 2 Live Bans, Mer and Red Pop Fury keep things swingin. Our favorite part: Theyve rented a DeLorean for photo ops outside. No word on whether Doc Brown and Marty McFly will be there, but we’re pretty sure they’ll be able to produce the 1.21 gigawatts necessary to keep the party going all night long.

Included in the crawl route: Bernies Tavern, Casey Morans, Sports Corner, Cubby Bear, Sluggers and John Barleycorn.
