Pub Crawl Logistics

Oktoberfest is a well-known celebration that happens across the globe. With origins dating back to 1810, Oktoberfest has managed to grow in popularity through the centuries. While it has its roots in Germany, Oktoberfest is alive and well in Gull Lake, Minnesota in 2021, much to the delight of locals and visitors alike. Recreating this vibrant, savory, and welcoming experience is an honor that the area is excited to be a part of!

Year after year, the pub crawl has a way of being a highlight of the festival that participants look forward to. Every pub crawl participant will be asked to pay a nominal entry fee to get things kicked off. Once you’re signed and paid up, participants will enjoy access to a pub crawl shuttle that will carry you to a series of savory locations around Gull Lake in style. A few of these include Zorbaz, Ernie’s, The Side Track, Cowboy’s, Jake’s, and Roundhouse Brewery, among others.

Every pub crawl ticket purchased gives participants a chance to win prizes at the different locations they’ll visit. Past winners have walked away from the pub crawl as the proud new owners of sample beers, JELLO shots, or discounted future drinks! Every pub crawl participant receives a card that gets punched when they arrive at the various locations on their itinerary. If you’re a participant who manages to get every location stamped, you’ll be eligible to have your name in the raffle for a grand prize pub crawl drawing at the end of the evening.

A Pub Crawl with a Purpose

Yes, the Gull Lake Oktoberfest pub crawl promises to be fun and delicious. That said, it’s also a pub crawl with a specific purpose!
