About this tour
A 2-hour pedal-powered pub crawl on a shared trolley bike for up to 15 people in Austin. You and your group pedal together (with electric assist on hills) while the Trolley Pub Captain navigates to bars of your choice or theirs. Bring your own drinks, control the playlist, and the trolley supplies a cooler and certified guide — ideal for groups wanting a social, active night out without needing a dedicated vehicle.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the trolley meeting point and climb aboard with your group and potentially other parties if you've booked fewer than 6 seats on a public mixer tour. The Trolley Pub Captain briefs you on safety and how pedalling works — your collective pedalling powers the bike, with the motor kicking in on steeper terrain. You take turns pedalling in shifts, call out bar suggestions, or let the captain take you to their recommended stops. Between venues, you stay on board, play music, and drink from your cooler.
The tour lasts 2 hours total, including travel and bar time. There's no set itinerary — it's flexible and driven by your group's pace and preferences. At the end, you pedal back to the starting point, settle gratuities with the captain separately, and part ways.

Good to know
This suits groups of friends, bachelorette or birthday parties, and anyone who wants an active, social pub experience without hiring a private driver. It's not recommended if you have poor cardiovascular health, since you'll be pedalling (though the electric assist helps). The tour is open to all fitness levels and welcomes smaller groups to join existing public tours if you can't fill 6 seats yourself — if your small group books but doesn't hit the 6-person minimum, Trolley Pub will contact you to reschedule or refund. You must bring your own alcohol (no purchase on-site); drinks must stay on the trolley. Bring a valid ID. Ice and light snacks are not included, so pack those if needed. Gratuities aren't included in the fee. Public transport options are nearby if you prefer not to pedal back.
