Wow. Such a fun thing to do. We had a blast. Lauren was phenomenal. Whether you do it by yourself, as a couple, as a family gathering or whatever, I cant recommend this enough. Just a fun thing to do. Already thinking about doing it again.

Jess was absolutely wonderful and made our time on the trolley so much fun. we actually chose to spend more time on the trolley because of how friendly and fun she was during our entire ride. Highly recommend!

I went with some friends a few weekends ago for a birthday party for the first time and had a blast! I’ve seen people on the Trolley Pubs for several years now and have never had a chance to go, but I highly recommend it! Our driver/guide was Patrick and he did a phenomenal job. He gave us history of the downtown Raleigh area, gave us great bar recommendations, and was very friendly and easy going. Unfortunately one of our friends lost her phone during the tour, but with his and another driver/guide’s help and accommodation to the situation we managed to find it. So if you go, ask for Patrick, he does an awesome job!

FAQ
What is the Trolley Pub?
It’s a pedal-powered party on wheels, with a certified Trolley Pub conductor in the captain’s seat. Perfect for pub crawls, birthday celebrations, bachelor/bachelorette parties, company outings, brewery tours, sightseeing, themed nights out the endless possibilities! A minimum of 8 pedalers is necessary to power the Trolley Pub.
Where does the Trolley Pub stop and for how long?
Visit the Routes page for details. Just let your driver know where you would like to stop at the start of the tour. Most groups make two stops and stay 25-30 minutes at each stop. These stops will vary based on the group on board, rider requests, and the driver’s discretion. The experience is 2 hours long from start to finish.

Can we drink on board?
Alcohol is available for purchase at pub stops. There is no alcohol permitted on the trolley due to public drinking laws in Virginia. You are welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages on the trolley as well as snacks (picnic-style).
Use common sense, you can’t drink on the street. Do not get overly intoxicated or you will be kicked off. Do not show up to a Trolley Pub tour intoxicated or you will not be let on board. Remember that you cannot bring glass containers on the trolley.
How many people can fit on the Trolley Pub?
How do I reschedule/cancel my tour?
Paddle Pub/Trolley Pub now offers trip insurance, which will allow you flexibility in the case your plans change, or if the tour needs to be canceled due to the inclement weather.
Trip insurance will also allow you to receive a full refund in the event of a Severe Weather Warning from the National Weather Service during the time of your scheduled tour results in a cancellation on our end. You may also voluntarily cancel your tour for any reason up to 7 days prior to your tour for a full refund.
To purchase trip insurance, simply select the add on “Trip Insurance” during checkout. Please note that for mixer tours, you will need to select the number of tickets you would like to insure to cover all the tickets.
Without trip insurance, all sales are final – no exceptions. In the case a tour needs to be canceled on our end in the event of severe weather and you do not have trip insurance, you will receive a credit for a future tour at any TourScale location (Trolley Pub, Paddle Pub, Tiki Pub) in the country. Currently, we have tours in over 30 cities across the US.
Is there a weight restriction?
There is a weight limit of 275 lbs for the safety of our guests. The experience involves sitting on standard bike seats for periods of time and can be uncomfortable and unsafe if above the weight limit. Everyone must sign a waiver before boarding, agreeing that they will not ride if above the weight limit.
Is there an age restriction?
The bar tour experience is meant for guests 21 and up. Guests who are 18 and up are not allowed to drink alcohol and must have “X” marks on their hands. Guests that 15 and up must be accompanied by a parent.
