The pub crawl starts at the Martini Bar at the Holiday Inn before moving onto The Bijou Theatre, A Vucchella, B:Hive Bridgeport, the Bijou Square Wine Shop, The Barnum Public House, with an after (life) party at Tiago's complete with a DJ, food,and drink specials. Costumes are encouraged with prizes awarded at the end of the night. There is no cost to join the crawl, although drink and food specials range from $3 and up at each venue.
“Partnering with our neighbors has always been an important mission for us at B:Hive," said Marcella Kovac, one of the founders of the event and a co-owner of B:Hive, the share-work space alternative on Fairfield Avenue. "When we bond together to spread the sense of community throughout the downtown Bridgeport area, it’s always very rewarding."
Also heavily involved in spearheading the event: Kerry Wood from the Downtown Special Services District. According to Wood, a similar pub crawl was held as part of last summer's Barnum Festival and was so successful, the DSSD and others wanted to expand it to a stand-alone event for fall.
