A barcrawl is an event planned by an organization or group of friends where people move from bar to bar at pre-designated times. The barcrawlers are often identified by a common T-shirt, which often has the bar names and times in case crawlers forget. Appears to have been popularized on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, due to the close proximity of bars and the bar entry age of 19.
Angela threw a birthday barcrawl for her roommate's 21st birthday, and the group got completely wasted at 6 bars in one night.
