Cinco de Mayo PubCrawl Hollywood
Hollywood, CA
www.pubcrawls.com

From the producers of the world's largest pub crawl comes a bar-hopping event with a theme: Cinco de Mayo! With so many Mexican Americans living in and around the Los Angeles area, Cinco de Mayo is an especially large celebration in this part of the country. The holiday is always celebrated on the 5th of May. This year, it happens to fall on a Sunday, giving a whole new meaning to Sunday funday. So find your favorite drinking hat - preferably a sombrero - and get your party on in Hollywood, starting at noon. Drink specials will include two-for-one beverages and you can register for the event online. Details and exact locations will be available to participants who register on the website.

Hermosa Beach Pier
Pier Ave.
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

One of the most happening spots in the South Bay, Hermosa Beach is the perfect spot for a bar crawl. The pier is filled with tons of watering holes so it's almost hard not to hop from one to another and another and another. Choose to start by the beach and work your way up, or vice versa. Hot spots such as Sharkeez, Patrick Malloy's, Hennessy's and American Junkie, among others, offer great happy hour specials daily. Patrick Malloy's, for instance, provides happy hour prices all day long every Monday. American Junkie offers Taco Tuesday deals and Mediterraneo has a happy hour for beverage and tapas from 5 to 7 p.m. seven days a week. With unbeatable sunsets and fun surfer action, Hermosa Beach is the perfect pick for your next bar-hopping night (or day) out.
