Start A Bar Crawl Business

A bar crawl business is an event planning company that organizes tours of multiple bars in a specific area.

To start a bar crawl business, research the local bar scene and identify popular establishments that would attract customers.

Develop a unique theme or route for your bar crawl to differentiate it from others in the area. Secure necessary permits and licenses and establish partnerships with bars to ensure a smooth and successful event.

With careful planning and execution, a bar crawl business can provide a fun and memorable experience for customers while generating revenue for the owner.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a bar crawl business:

1. Denver Pub Crawl ($42K/year)

How much they make: $42K/year
