Pedal Bar Crawl Tour of Downtown Phoenix

Imagine cruising through the vibrant streets of downtown Phoenix on a party bike with up to 15 friends, pedal-powered and filled with lively music, LED lights, and ice-cold drinks. For $69.99 per person, this 2-hour tour offers an unconventional way to explore the city’s eclectic bar scene, all while enjoying VIP access and exclusive drink specials.

We loved how this experience combines entertainment, socializing, and sightseeing into one package.

Plus, the stops at unique venues like The Duce, Stardust Pinbar, and Pedal Haus Brewery bring a real local flavor, making it more than just a typical pub crawl.

One thing to keep in mind is the group size, which is limited to 14 passengers, and the minimum of six riders needed to run the tour. If you’re planning a bachelor/bachelorette party, a fun night out with friends, or a special celebration, this tour is a fantastic choice. However, if your group is smaller or looking for a more relaxed experience, it might be worth considering timing or booking in advance—this tour is popular and often booked 45 days ahead.
