It’s almost time ghouls! Time to put on your shambling shoes and drink your undead way across the Short North for the 3rd Annual Columbus Zombie Pub Crawl!
The Zombie Pub Crawl will begin around 7:30 PM on October 22nd, 2011. Be 21 years of age (required), dress as the undead (also required) and come out and drink with us at any one of the bars and restaurants listed below. Note that unlike the Columbus Zombie Walk that takes place each year in Goodale Park, we will not be moving as a single group throughout the Short North. It would be too disruptive and cripple the service staff at any one location we all arrived at. Basically, the place would be beyond packed and you’d never get a drink or your food and no one would be happy. Breaking it up ensures our great local businesses a steady stream of undead patrons throughout the night instead of all at once, allows us to have a presence throughout the Short North area all evening and will make it easier to meet and mingle with your zombie cohorts throughout the evening.
We’re going to try for a tier system of bars, starting on the South end of the Short North and moving North until we end at Surly Girl Saloon. Some of you may choose to start at the other end and work your way south. So use common sense and work your way through the crawl at your own pace. If there’s no zombies at the bar you’re at feel free to move on to the next one. It’s too crowded? Same deal. Feel free to meet up and mingle with other groups of zombies you meet along the way, but common sense will go a long way in ensuring it’s a pleasurable experience for both you and the establishments that are hosting us.
While we’re on common sense, please note that is the final thing that is required to participate in the crawl. Do not deface or destroy anything in the businesses that are participating in this with us, including smearing your makeup or blood anywhere it’s not wanted. Do not attempt to bring your own alcohol into any of the bars. Don’t otherwise do anything illegal or stupid on the street that would get you arrested. Don’t drink and drive. Again, I know this all soundslike common sense, so if you don’t think you can handle that then please don’t participate.
Please note many of the establishments will have fun zombie themed drink specials for us. Surly Girl will once again have zombie themed drinks and cupcakes, as will Betty's. I believe Bodega is doing a special on Nosferatu. Most bars are going to have something.
Here's the bar list:
Mojoe Lounge
Betty's
Short North Tavern
Bodega
Barrel 44
Surly Girl Saloon
Also, our friend Dawn spoke to the folks at the Shrunken Head on 5th and Neil. They have some metal bands playing that evening and have offered to lower the cover for zombies to $2 w/ $2 PBR and Yuengling draft. So if at the end of the night you just haven't had enough, it sounds like that'll be the undead afterparty. I just wanted everyone to be advised there would be a cover there. Circus has Juicy going on this year, which also has a cover, so I haven't included them on the list this time.
Can't wait to see everybody there!
