ONE Ticket type and it’s ALL VIP! GET READY! Because we want YOU to vote on your Seafood Slam, Best of the Best Fest dish, and make Saturday a day all about SOUTH FLORIDA’s BEST SEAFOOD from YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANTEURS!

Your ticket to the Seafood Slam is ALL-INCLUSIVE, but there will be some upgrades available inside.
Stone crabs and select lobster/steak pairings will be available for purchase on-site and are not included. Restaurants will have premium menu items available for upgrades and purchase on-site.

We'll begin the North Miami Drink Crawl at 2 PM at Conscious Brewery. You must check-in at Conscious Brewery between 2 - 3:30PM in order to receive your wristbands and details to participate.
The price of the ticket is only to participate and does NOT include any food or drink or server-gratutities. However, we have arranged exclusive specials/discounts at every venue exclusively for people on this crawl. Each venue is about one mile from one another so you'll need an Uber or safe transportation. Others like to combine physical fitness with day drinking by walking, running, or biking from place to place. Whatever you choose, do it safely, but the venues are quite close to one another.

HOW TO CRAWL:

1. Everyone must check-in at Conscious Brewery between 2 - 3:30PM in order to get their wristbands that will alert each venue to give you the crawl specials. Arrive at check-in on time if you want to participate
2. Nobody will be leading you from place to place. You can go in any order that you want. You'll meet lots of new people that you can move from place-to-place together with, but there will be no specific order, time, or anyone leading you.
3. At check-in, after getting your event wristband, everyone will receive a paper listing all of the participating venues, all of the specific deals at all venues.
4. There is no food or beer included with your ticket. Your ticket allows you to be part of the Crawl and gives you exclusive discounts/specials at six different locations.
5. It is your responsibility to provide your safe way from venue to venue as well as a safe way home with a sober driver.
6. Gratuity towards your servers at every location will be provided by you just as you would at any other bar. Be good to those that are good to you.
7. 24 hours before the Crawl, you will receive an email with all of the details (although this page is pretty complete).
