Bar crawls are built around alcohol service, and the legal drinking age in California is 21, so expect a 21+ crowd. Individual bars can set stricter entry rules than the law requires. Name a sober driver or schedule a rideshare in advance. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.

Show up in Santa gear or another holiday look. A single hat can work, but a full outfit fits in better. December in California can swing between chilly and mild, so bring a light jacket you do not mind carrying. Leave anything fragile at home since crowds get close. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.
