Pre-Crawl Prep: Your Survival Checklist

Here’s what separates the amateurs from the Y2K legends:

1. Download and Link the App

2000s Bar Crawl events have a "treasure hunt" element to the experience, where you "check in", spin-to-win prizes, and get rewarded for completing the crawl. For all of this, you need the Bar Crawl Nation app. So, before you arrive:

• Find your confirmation email.
• Grab your unique ticket barcode.
• Link your ticket in the app.

No last-minute fumbling with Wi-Fi passwords outside the first bar.

2. Dress Like It’s 2005

Commit to the look, because, honestly, it’s half the fun. Need inspiration?

• Juicy Couture tracksuits (bonus points if they’re rhinestoned).
• Low-rise jeans + rhinestone belts
• Frosted tips + Von Dutch trucker hats
• Layered tanks, butterfly clips, and body glitter
• Band tees for Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, or early Fall Out Boy
• Go all out with a costume: FairlyOdd Parents, Will Ferrell's Anchorman, or Paris Hilton

The bigger the nostalgia factor, the better the photo ops—and there are plenty.

3. Build Your Y2K Party Kit

Your mini survival kit = your night runs smoothly:

• Portable charger → Don’t let your app or selfies die mid-crawl.
  
  
• Snacks → Small bites keep you fueled between themed drinks.
  
  
• First-aid basics → Band-aids, Advil, and breath mints = lifesavers.
  
  
• Cash stash → Some participating venues may be cash-only, also it's easier to pay & tip!

Inside the Crawl: What to Expect at Each Stop

Here’s a taste of what you’ll get across participating venues:

• 2000s Drinks & Specials: Jäger bombs AppleBottom-tinis? Try different themed cocktails inspired by the decade’s best hits.
  
  
• Photo Stations: Props, backdrops, and Instagram-worthy setups to recreate your MySpace-era aesthetic.
  
  
• DJ-Driven Nostalgia: Live sets covering everything from Lil Jon to Lady Gaga, Soulja Boy to Fall Out Boy
  
  
• Spin-to-Win: Each stop gives you a chance to score instant swag—2000s slap bracelets, temporary tattoos, or free/discounted drinks.

Every venue has its own vibe, so pace yourself and enjoy the variety.

2000s-Themed Tips for Maximum Fun

• Queue up a TRL-inspired playlist for the ride to the event.
  
  
• Bring some props - flip phone? old iPod?
  
  
• Don't be afraid to dance like nobody's watching. P.S. putting your "hands up" is cool again, it's 2005, remember?

Once you’ve hit all participating bars and checked in at each stop, the app unlocks exclusive credits you can redeem for Bar Crawl Nation merch or tickets to your next event. Consider it your digital trophy for surviving the night.
