Beer bike in downtown Austin

You bring the beer. Pedaling is optional.

What is a beer bike, exactly?

It is a big open-air bar on wheels that you rent as a group. “Beer bike,” “party bike,” “bike bar”: same idea, different names. A local guide steers, every bike has motorized assist so you pedal only as much as you like, and some seats have no pedals at all. It is BYOB: bring your own beer, seltzer or wine in cans or plastic (no glass, no hard liquor), so nothing is marked up.

How much does a beer bike cost in Austin?

The whole bike is $350 Sunday to Thursday and $395 Friday and Saturday, for up to 15 people, not per person. Split across a full crew on a weeknight that is about $23 a head. That covers the ride of about 2 hours, your guide, the sound system, and coolers with ice. Just a few of you? Seats on a public ride are $35.

Who books the beer bike

For when the whole group being together is the point.

Bachelorette and bachelor parties are the bread and butter: it is the rare activity where a dozen people hang out together instead of splitting up at a bar. Birthdays are big too, so are work outings and friends-in-town weekends. Book it when the group being together is the whole point.

Honest take

If your plan is 5 bars in 90 minutes, this isn’t it. Most of the 2 hours is spent rolling, and the ride itself is the party. But if you want your whole group in one spot, drinks open, music up, nothing beats it.
