While Erin Express technically counts as a bar crawl, a lot of people treat it more like a citywide day party that keeps getting louder as the hours go on. If your goal tomorrow is less focused on a quiet pint of Guinness and more geared towards a sweaty dance floor with a DJ playing throwbacks, there are a few stops you’ll definitely want to prioritize.

We’re leveling up Erin’s Express this year – can you handle it? The bar crawl, happening this weekend, already hits some of the city’s most reliable party spots, but this year, a few new locations have officially joined the lineup. 

The Erin Express is back, and this year, we’re getting the kind of perfect drinking weather that makes a beer taste even better—warm weather, sunshine, and a whole lot of bar-hopping ahead. But with 30 bars, multiple check-in spots, and thousands of people trying to drink their weight in beer, the key to surviving (and thriving) on this crawl is having a solid game plan.

Philadelphia, raise your pint glasses and thank the beer gods, because this Saturday’s Erin Express is serving up 70 degrees, sunshine, and ice-cold drafts—all with a side of outdoor drinking. That’s right, this year’s crawl isn’t just about keeping your Guinness count up, it’s also the unofficial kickoff to patio season.

Here's your big update for Erin Express! We have now confirmed our 30 bar partners for this Saturday's Erin Express with some notable additions for 2025 including Uptown Beer Garden’s first opening day of the year!
