Questions? We Got You

Everything you need before your ride.

What should we bring?

Just ice, your drinks (BYOB — cans & plastic, no glass or hard liquor), and a playlist. We provide the cooler and the sound system.

How long is the ride?

2 hours and 15 minutes, with 2–3 bar stops of about 25 minutes each. Need a custom time? Call 512-525-5221.

How many people can come?

Up to 15 people — that's the max on our bike.

What’s the minimum age?

All riders must be 18 or older. Bring a valid ID.

Is it BYOB?

Yes! Bring your own beer and seltzers. We supply the cooler and ice.

Do we have to pedal?

Nope — the bike is fully electric. No pedaling required.

Is this a pedal pub or a beer bike?

Same idea, upgraded. You might know the concept as a pedal pub, pedal tavern, beer bike, or cycle pub — Austin Bar Bike is the fully electric version, so there is zero pedaling. You just hop on, BYOB, and enjoy the ride through downtown Austin.

How is Austin Bar Bike different from Pedal Pub or other Austin party bikes?

Three things: we are fully electric so there is no pedaling at all, we are locally owned and operated (not a national franchise), and from $275 for the whole bike we are one of the best-value party bikes in Austin. Same downtown route and BYOB fun — better value.

What if we need to cancel?

Full refund as long as you cancel at least 24 hours in advance.

Do we pick the bars?

Yes — you're the boss. You choose which bars to walk into; we cruise Austin's best strips and give you the inside scoop on each one so you always land somewhere good.

How many drinks should we bring?

We suggest about 2–3 drinks per person for the 2 hr 15 min ride. That way, if you decide to stay out at your last stop, you're not stuck hauling a cooler of leftovers.

Can we stay out after the ride?

Absolutely. At the last stop it's your call — keep the night going right there, or hop back on and we'll return you to where the tour started.

Where do we meet?

1108 Rose St, just west of downtown — easy metered street parking right there. Show up about 15 minutes early.

Do you ride in the rain?

Yep — rain doesn't stop us. The bike is fully covered, and a rainy cruise down 6th is honestly a blast. Prefer to reschedule? You can cancel up to 24 hours ahead, no problem. The only weather we call off for is lightning or ice — and if that happens, you get a full refund.

Are there bathroom breaks, and can we grab food?

Yes — we make 3 bar stops during the ride, and every one has restrooms and food right there. Plenty of chances to hit the restroom, grab a bite, or order a drink while you're off the bike.

Who controls the music?

You do. First thing I ask when you board is who’s the DJ — whoever it is gets the Bluetooth and runs the playlist all ride.

Are the bar stops timed?

Loosely. The early stops roll over — stay longer at a bar you love and the time just comes out of the next one. The only hard number is the ride’s 2 hours 15 minutes.

How far ahead should we book?

For weekends or a specific time slot, book at least a month out — the popular times go fast. Online booking is open up to 24 hours before your ride. Need a ride sooner than that? Just call us at 512-525-5221 and we'll see what we can do.

I booked individual seats — does my ride always run?

Mixed-seat rides roll once 6 seats are booked. If your departure doesn't fill, I reach out personally to move you to another time or refund you in full — you'll never just get ghosted.

Do we tip the driver?

Most groups do, and it's always appreciated. You can add a tip to your card when you book, or take care of your driver day-of with cash, Venmo, or Zelle — whatever's easiest.

Can we smoke or vape on board?

Sure — smoking and vaping are totally fine on the bike. No rules there.

Do we pay in full, or is there a deposit?

Your call. You can lock in the bike with a 20% deposit and pay the rest later, or pay in full up front. There's also a split-payment option, so everyone in your group can pay their own share instead of one person fronting the whole thing.

Is the bike accessible for guests with limited mobility?

There's a small step up to board, and the bike isn't wheelchair-accessible. That said, in 8 years we've never had a guest who couldn't hop on — it's an easy step for most people. If you've got a specific concern, give us a call and we'll walk through it with you.

Do you run year-round?

Yep — we ride all year, rain or shine, summer or winter. Same great tour no matter the season.

Can we decorate the bike for a bachelorette or birthday?

Absolutely — bring your sashes, signs, banners, whatever makes it feel like a party. In all our years we've never had to turn away a decoration. The only things we don't allow: dogs and kids (all riders must be 18+).
