When graduated from ²ÊÃñ±¦µä in 2019, he knew he wanted more than just a typical 9-to-5 job. Fueled by a passion for travel and building connections, Logan and his business partner, Tyler Sondag, launched , a company that would soon redefine the city’s nightlife scene. What started as a fun side project quickly grew into something bigger: bringing people together through unforgettable pub crawls and interactive experiences across Denver’s hottest venues.
Logan, who grew up experiencing diverse cultures and countries, traces much of the inspiration for his business ventures to his younger years of constant movement and international exposure. His entrepreneurial journey started after graduating, having navigated the path many college graduates face: transitioning to Denver, dabbling in sales, and eventually landing on his true passion for building something of his own. Alongside his business partner, Tyler, who shared a love for travel and international experiences, Logan co-founded Denver Pub Crawl, a company that offers unique, community-building bar crawl experiences with a focus on fun, safety, and inclusivity.

With partnerships across more than 40 venues, Denver Pub Crawl provides a fully personalized and seamless experience, no matter the event.
From Setback to Success
Logan and Tyler’s idea blossomed from memories of vibrant, international-style pub crawls where people from all walks of life came together. After brainstorming countless business ideas, they launched their first bar crawl in Denver in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.Ìý
When the pandemic hit, many businesses found themselves in uncertain territory, with some throwing in the towel, unable to navigate the sudden restrictions and challenges. However, for Logan, giving up was never an option. The belief and validation from customers who had experienced the magic of the pub crawls inspired him to keep going. Logan recalls how, early on, guests raved about the experience. This positive feedback gave him the conviction to continue, even when things looked bleak.
During the height of the pandemic, Logan and his team had to quickly adapt to the changing regulations. They followed safety rules, limited group sizes, and ensured all protocols were met. The restrictions were frustrating, particularly for a business that thrives on bringing large groups together. Events that once hosted up to 150 or more people now had to be scaled down to much smaller numbers. But through it all, Logan’s mindset remained steadfast. He believed in the value of his business, and the regret of giving up was a feeling he wanted to avoid at all costs.
While the lockdowns temporarily paused their growth, Logan and Tyler used the time to strategize and refine their offerings. Once restrictions lifted, the pent-up desire for social connection helped the company thrive, eventually expanding to over 150 events annually, including themed crawls, private parties, and nonprofit partnerships through their Crawl for a Cause initiative.
Looking to the Future
Now, Logan’s vision extends beyond the pandemic. He aims to expand Denver Pub Crawl to other cities, either through franchising or direct duplication. With a growing team of 20 part-time staff, they are ready to take the business model to places where the event market is less competitive. He is confident in their unique value proposition: creating memorable, VIP-style experiences with games, drinks, and unforgettable hosts. No matter the challenges, Logan’s core belief remains the same: persistence, conviction, and a drive to bring his vision to life will always be stronger than the obstacles in the way.
Logan believes that entrepreneurship requires grit, hustle, and a willingness to work harder than most.Ìý
“There’s a reason being a business owner is so cool, it’s because it’s really, really freaking hard, The journey is filled with moments of doubt and self-sabotage, as well as outside voices questioning why entrepreneurs take risks instead of playing it safe with a stable 9-to-5 job.â€
ÌýLogan knows these challenges firsthand; this kind of delayed gratification, he says, is another key component of entrepreneurial success.
