Puddle Scouts is an 18+ organization.
Join us for Crinkle Crawl: Pride Edition, a joyful homage to the original Crinkle Crawl that helped kick off the Puddle Scouts adventure. Before we made Jackhammer our official home and rebranded to Crinkle Crawl After Dark, this roaming event was where it all began—and for Pride, we're bringing it back!
This special edition will take us on a crawl through three beloved Chicago gay bars that have supported Puddle Scouts from the start. Expect laughter, community, and celebration as we reconnect with our roots and raise a glass to how far we've come.

Only Jackhammer will have a bag check, so we recommend traveling light. Please keep in mind that bags are subject to search at all three bars.
Not at all! All three bars offer a variety of non-alcoholic options, including CBD and THC beverages. Each venue has a similar selection—feel free to check out their menus online to see what’s available.
There are four ways to make the trip:
Walk – The free option! It’s about a 2-mile walk, mostly flat.
Bus – The #22 Clark Street bus picks up right outside Meeting House Tavern. It costs $2.50 and takes around 10 minutes.
Rideshare – Grab some friends and split the cost of a rideshare for a quick and convenient option.
Carpool – If someone in your group is willing to be the designated driver, carpooling is another great choice.
