Brickell Fall Crawl

This Saturday, October 1, will be the second Brickell Bar Crawl hosted by Miami Crawls. I had an absolute blast at the first one this summer but sadly I won’t be able to go this weekend’s crawl (out of town wedding – dammit).

Buy your tickets here. Full drinking schedule can be found below.
