Social, Hotels, and more

THE SOCIAL

After playing all day, it’s time to party. This year the Classic has organized a bar crawl along 4th Street, one of Columbus’s best bar scenes.

Bar crawl participants will wear wristbands that will tell the bar staff who gets access to Classic specials.

Social Wristbands Will Be Primarily Sold At The Field For $10/Person

Some players will be selling wristbands at the bars during the crawl but they will not be stationary. Buying wristbands at the Merch Tent is the best way to make sure you get access to the Classic Crawl deals.

The Columbus Classic Bar Crawl Will Start At Little Rock Bar @ 6pm. Refer To The Crawl Map On This Page, Or Find The Map Via QR Code on Our Social Pages
