FAQs

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

Common question. Our event is an adult-focused bar crawl. To drink you must be 21 years of age or older. We ask that you carry a valid form of identification on you at all times of the crawl. You may be asked to prove your age throughout the crawl.

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

Because of the limited amount of public parking, we ask that you avoid driving to the event as much as possible. For your convenience, both Uber and Lyft are offering discounts for the event. We ask all those drinking to have a designated driver for the event. We want everyone participating to be safe!





What can/can't I bring to the event?

We recommend everyone bring a postive attitude and cash. The venues will be taking cash for drink specials and food. It will be a nice summer day here in New Orleans and we recommend sun screen, cool clothes and water. LOTS OF WATER! Bring a portable battery charger also. Although there will be a food stop along the way, we recommend you come on a full stomach. :D

Do not bring weapons of any kind. You will be thrown from the event - if not arrested.

Do not bring your own alcohol.

Police will be present and we ask you to be respectful of them.





Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Please send any questions or concerns to Kasey at kasey.pokecrawl@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you.

Do I have to participate in the entire crawl?

Actually, no. We encourage all those who purchase admission to participate in the entire crawl, but you dont have to! There are several stops along the way. If you want to jump in at any point, just make sure you have your wristband to gain access to the After Party at Grits Bar.





Is there same day registration?

We encourage all those who are participating to join us for the packet pickup on Friday, August 26, 2016 from 3pm to 8pm at Country Inn & Suites located at 315 Magazine St. If you cannot pickup your packet on Friday, please arrive early at Grits Bar (start location) between 2-3pm for the pregame to pickup your packets. Shirt sizes are not guaranteed after Friday however, as they are already first come, first served (sizes).





What is the refund policy?

We understand. Refunds will be available until FRIDAY August 26, 2016. But think of the animals!
