Sippin’ Santas Pub Crawl to ‘Sleigh’ Downtown Chandler with Drinks, Food & Fun

27 Downtown Chandler Restaurants to Participate in $5 Drink and Dine Pub Crawl

CHANDLER, Ariz. – On Saturday, Dec. 13 from noon to 6 p.m., 27 of the jolliest restaurants and bars in Downtown Chandler will participate in the annual Sippin’ Santas Pub Crawl, a self-guided crawl for cocktail enthusiasts to enjoy $5 drink specials, food and live entertainment. Costume-clad revelers can purchase either Nice List (12-3 p.m.) or Naughty List (3-6 p.m.) time slot tickets and check in up to 30 minutes before their ticket time at the Downtown Chandler office, located at 178 W. Boston St., and VIP ticket holders can enjoy an early hour and half of fun (10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.) exclusively at the La Ristra New Mexican Kitchen, including drinks and snacks before joining the crawl for the rest of the event’s duration.

To further enhance the festive atmosphere, drink and diners can enjoy live music by Fringe Benefits, who will play at Murphy’s Law Irish Pub, and Todd Minix Acoustic, playing at Craft64 throughout the event.

“This year’s pub crawl is an excellent chance to savor clever and thoughtful mixology at accessible pricing, with each crawl stop incorporating traditional holiday flavors like cinnamon, chocolate and apple with signature touches to keep flavors recognizably festive, yet exciting,” said Jess Walrath, interim executive director at the Downtown Chandler Community Partnership. “Downtown Chandler is excited to stir (and shake) up some holiday cheer.”
