A Festive Village-Wide Celebration Encouraging Everyone to Sip, Stroll, and Support Local Patchogue Businesses
Patchogue is gearing up for one of its most spirited holiday celebrations of the year—the Official Ugly Sweater Bar Crawl on Saturday, December 20th, 2025, beginning at 3 PM. Known as one of the best bar towns in America, Patchogue invites locals and visitors to don their coziest, craziest, and ugliest holiday sweaters and hit the town in true festive fashion.
But beyond the fun, this event is an opportunity to support Patchogue’s beloved bars, restaurants, and small businesses. When attending the crawl, participants are encouraged to explore, dine, shop, and show love to the hardworking local spots that make this village one of Long Island’s most vibrant destinations.
The Ultimate Holiday Crawl Experience
This year’s bar crawl is bigger, bolder, and uglier than ever. Hosted by Pubcrawls.com, the event celebrates International Ugly Sweater Day and invites guests to bring out their most outrageous holiday apparel—think blinking Christmas trees, fuzzy reindeer, jolly Santas, and even that itchy sweater you swore you’d never wear again.
Participants will check in at James Joyce between 3 PM and 7 PM to receive a Pubcrawls.com wristband and access to the digital crawl map. The map provides everything needed to make the most of the celebration, including bar locations, drink specials, food offers, and featured venues throughout Patchogue.

Crawlers will move through more than eight of Patchogue’s favorite drinking destinations, each offering holiday-themed beverages, specials, DJs, and festive vibes. This year’s participating venues include:
