What it is
Picture a 15-seat, open-air bar on wheels rolling straight down the middle of Old Town Scottsdale, LED lights running underneath and a sound system loud enough to hear over the traffic. That's the Arizona Party Bike: everyone sits around a bar-top counter and pedals together while a guide steers, handles the route, and keeps the playlist going. It's BYOB, so the group brings its own drinks and coolers, and the guide walks you through where you can and can't drink along the way.
The standard ride runs about two hours and threads through the Entertainment District — past the mural walls, the patios, and the bars you'll hit later that night — so it doubles as a rolling preview of the neighborhood. Because it's Old Town, you'll get plenty of attention from sidewalk patios and other groups out for the night; waving, cheering, and the occasional impromptu sing-along come standard.
Why it works for the group
This is the activity that makes the group photo. Matching sashes, coordinated outfits, the bride up front — a party bike reads as the bachelorette moment the second you post it. It's also genuinely easy to run: nobody has to plan a bar crawl route or herd 12 people between venues, because the bike does that for you.
Two hours is enough to feel like an event without eating the whole evening, which makes it a strong opener before dinner or the Old Town bar crawl. It's low-effort, high-energy, and gives everyone a shared experience before the group splits into "who wants tacos vs. who wants margaritas" mode.
Planning tips
When to book: Friday and Saturday evening slots fill up fast, especially October through April when the weather is ideal for an open-air ride. Book as soon as you have a headcount, ideally 2-3 weeks out for a weekend slot.
What to budget: Public tickets run from about $70 per person (2026). Bring your own drinks and ice — there's no bar on board, just the bar-top counter you pedal from.
Time to set aside: Block about 2.5 hours total: the ride itself is 2 hours, plus time to gather the group, load coolers, and regroup at drop-off. Late afternoon slots flow nicely into dinner reservations in Old Town.
