Bar Bike Tours of Downtown Austin
Yes, this is the one. The bar bike, or bike bar, you have seen rolling down Congress with 15 people on it is Austin Pedal Party's. 15 seats around a bar down the middle, a motor that helps when the pedaling gets old, and a guide up front who steers and runs the route. The ride takes about 2 hours through downtown with stops at local bars along the way. It is BYOB in cans and plastic, and the coolers are already iced when you walk up. We leave from 806 San Jacinto Blvd, across from the Omni, 11am to 11pm every day, and on Google we are at 5.0 from 5,974 reviews, the most reviewed party bike in Austin. Book your date.

What the Bar Bike Ride Is Like
The bike. There are 15 seats, most of them with pedals and a few without for anyone who would rather sit and ride. The bar runs down the middle, so your drinks are at your elbow and the whole group faces each other instead of the back of someone's head. The motor assist keeps the pedaling as light as your group wants it. The sound system plays your playlist. The coolers are on the bike and iced before you arrive. Some people call it a bicycle bar, some call it a party bike, and from the sidewalk the bar bike is the thing with 15 people laughing on it.
The ride. Every bar bike tour in Austin starts and ends at 806 San Jacinto Blvd, across from the Omni. From there the guide takes you through downtown's historic blocks, up Congress Avenue and over the Congress bridge, then through the Red River music district and back. Along the way the bike pulls up at stops like Bull's Irish Pub and Casino El Camino, so everyone can stretch, use the restroom and grab a drink inside. Tell us the stops you want when you book and your guide works them into the route. The whole bike bar tour runs about 2 hours, and most of that time is on the bike.
Who takes it. Bachelorette parties, birthdays, friends in town for the weekend, and plenty of people who typed booze bike Austin or drinking bike tour Austin into their phone and ended up here, which is fine by us. It is the same bike. Groups of 4 to 15 take the whole bike, so the playlist, the pace and the stops are theirs. 2 or 3 of you share a public ride, and that ride leaves once 4 seats are sold for the time. Take the whole bike for 4 to 15 riders, or book $35 seats.
When and how. We run 11am to 11pm every day, rain or shine. An afternoon ride is downtown in daylight; an evening ride is the same route with the lights on and the bars busier. If we have to cancel for weather, you get a full refund. You also get 1 free reschedule if you ask 2 or more days before your ride and the new date lands within 7 days of the original. You have to be 18 to ride and 21 to drink, so everyone brings an ID. We have 4 bikes, which means a group over 15 still rides together. Book on the booking page or call or text 512-539-7861.

Austin bar bike questions
Is this the Austin bar bike, or bike bar, I searched for?
Yes. Pedal bar, beer bike, bar bike, party bike: people call it different things and they all mean this 15-seat bike with a bar down the middle and a guide who steers. It is the one you have seen on Congress. If you are riding with 2 or 3 people, the public party bike tour is the page for seats.
How much does the bar bike cost?
$35 a seat on a public ride, any day. The whole bike is $350 Sunday through Thursday or $395 on Friday and Saturday, for up to 15 people. Coolers, ice, the sound system and your guide are included, and you bring the drinks in cans or plastic. Pick a date on the booking page.
How hard is the pedaling?
Easier than it looks. Every bike has motor assist, so the group pedals as much or as little as it feels like and the motor covers the rest. There are also seats with no pedals for anyone in a dress, in sandals, or who would rather hold a drink and ride along. Nobody is pushing a bike uphill.
Do you have to be 21 to ride the bar bike?
You have to be 18 to ride and 21 to drink, so everyone brings an ID. The bike is BYOB in cans and plastic, no glass and no hard liquor, and drinks stay on the bike while you are seated.
We have more than 15 people. Can we ride together?
Yes. We have 4 bikes, so a group over 15 books 2 or more bikes and they leave together, ride the same route and stop at the same bars, up to 60 people. Over 30, call or text 512-539-7861 and we will set the bikes up together.
