20TH ANNUAL PROMO VIDEO
We were devastated at the passing of Jeff Bennett, Rich & Bennett co-founder, on December 7, 2020. We continue to be incredibly heartbroken to have lost such an amazing, kind, and positive person and friend. Bennett was a cherished member of the Charlotte community and brought thousands of people together over the last 20 years through our pub crawls and events. He will forever be missed by so many. If you’re joining us on 3/11/23 for the 21st Annual Pub Crawl, or even if you’re not, take a moment to toast our dearly missed friend and smile, just as he’d want you to.

If we get to a point where sizes are limited due to high volume. We still need you to have the shirt. You can carry it, wear it as a scarf, turn it into a purse, etc.
All shirts are Unisex. We have XXS – 3XL. The XXS is technically a Youth Large, and color is slightly off from the others, but hey…we’ll be in dark bars most of the day and it’ll fit you better if you like a small shirt.
Shirt sizes vary by manufacturer year to year, and we envision the Youth Large will fit close to what a Women’s Small would. Once we get our first shirt shipped in, we will update what the Youth Large is closest to by women’s sizes.

- Pace yourself – the Pub Crawl is a beautiful journey of Uptown Charlotte, not a race.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry is a legendary saying for a reason. You’ve got the whole day to experience Rich & Bennett’s Pub Crawl in Uptown Charlotte. Have drinks at the participating bars. Enjoy food at one of the many wonderful restaurants participating in the crawl. Take your time, be responsible, drink lots of water, and first and foremost – Have Fun! - Come with your old friends but be prepared to make new ones. Charlotte is a friendly city. So if you’re coming from out of town, be prepared to be taken in by some of the country’s nicest people! Crawlers travel from as close as down the street to half way across the world to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with us!
- Wearing the Rich & Bennett 21st Annual St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl T-shirt is mandatory. However, as long as it is still in tact, you can be creative. Make the outfit your own, but make sure the t-shirt can be recognized by venue staff.
- Do Not Drive!! Call a sober friend. Call one of the cab companies listed on our itinerary. Call UBER or LYFT, the Designated Driving services that gets you home safely and in style. Bribe a pedicab driver or horse and carriage to take you outside the belt loop. Or arrange a reservation at one of our participating hotels and WALK over at the end of the night.
Come to check-in from 12-3…get your event koozie, some free swag while it lasts, buy some cool RB merch, party and dance…oh, and pick up your shirt if you haven’t!
