Choose Your Booking Option Below
The Scottsdale pedal tavern holds up to 14 people for private parties. For groups that need more than one bar bike or extended time, please give us a call. We have 18 party bikes available for large groups up to 250 people. Smaller groups can book individual seats on the Old Town Pub Crawl!
One of the funnest parts of the party bike experience is that you can actually enjoy your adult beverages on board! But don’t let forgetting a couple of things dampen the experience.
Below are the supplies we recommend bringing with you, along with a few things we can’t have on board.
What To Bring:
- Pre-order your booze and party supplies online

- Snacks if desired
- Party decorations
- A desire for fun and absurdity
- Note that all of the above are also available in our on-site store, so no need to stress!
Do Not Bring:
- No outside alcohol allowed due to our liquor license. A full array of beer, wine, seltzers and other drinks are available at our on-site booze store to bring on board the bike! You can also pre-order online for pick-up when you arrive.
- Glass containers
- Coolers, ice, or cups. We’ve got you covered on all of those already!

It depends!
In Scottsdale, our licensing allows us to have a full selection of beer, wine, seltzers and more available for purchase at our convenient on-site booze store for your party bike adventure — We recommend you pre-order online so it is ready for you when you arrive! We also have a wide selection of drinks, snacks, party supplies, and other merch available for purchase on-site and online pre-order.
In Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff, our licensing only allows for BYOB and we do not have a storefront in those locations.
In Scottsdale, please arrive to our location 30 minutes prior to your start time to ensure that we can check you in, verify waivers, purchase any party supplies and adult beverages you may need, go over the rules, and get loaded up to start your party on time. To save some time, you can pre-order your adult beverages and party supplies online (Scottsdale only) so they are ready for pick-up when you arrive.
In Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff, please no later than 20 minutes prior to your start time to ensure we can check you in, verify waivers, get loaded up, and go over the rules to get the party started on time. No alcohol is available for purchase in these cities; it is strictly BYOB.

Have no fear, an experienced and trained Party Bike Captain will drive the bike and keep things safe, legal, and fun so your group can focus on partying!
Your Party Bike Captains do work for tips and aim to provide an excellent experience for our guests! You can either add a tip in advance when making your booking, give your captain cash, or let us know to add it to the credit card on file after the party. Many of them also have Venmo or other convenient cashless options! It is always greatly appreciated for a job well done!
Yes! We have a rocking sound system and LED lights for the perfect party ambiance. Our tablet that hooks up to the system is full of music from every genre with tons of songs and playlist options for you to choose. Make sure to bring a good DJ!
We can fit a maximum of 14 passengers on board the bike, but require a minimum of six people to pedal the party bike. Non-private parties and pub crawls (based on individual tickets) are tentative until we have the minimum number of riders. There are a total of 10 pedaling seats and 4 non-pedaling seats. So if you have someone in your group that can’t pedal, no problem!
We will notify you 24 hours in advance if the reservation cannot be confirmed and will issue a refund if that is the case. We recommend being flexible with the time so that we can pair you up with other groups to reach the minimum needed! Individuals or groups that are too small to be confirmed MAY be bumped to another time in favor of a confirmed private party and we will notify you if that occurs. In that case, you will have the option of getting a refund or changing times.
Pub Crawl Age Requirement
The minimum age for all parties booked by individual seat involving alcohol, including pub crawls, is 21 years of age or older. Riders must present valid ID to the captain when signing the release waiver before the start of the booking. Nobody under 21 is allowed on board a pub crawl.
Private Party Age Requirements
Private parties may have people under the age of 21 on board, typically for family events and teenage birthdays. If alcohol is involved, the people under 21 may not consume alcohol, must wear a wristband, cannot enter any bars, and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (NOTE: this does not mean an older sister who is not a legal guardian). If at any time a minor is suspected of consuming alcohol by the captain, the entire reservation will be immediately terminated, no refund will be issued, and a $100 early termination fee will be charged.
Infants and children who require a car seat or booster seat, typically under the age of 8, will not be allowed on board the party bike. Children above the age of 8 but under the age of 12 may be required to sit on the back bench with the seat belt on next to an adult.
Our locations are very close to where the parties and pub crawls operates. The exact location / meeting spot for the parties in each city are included in the confirmation email that you will receive after making your reservation.
In general, all reservations begin and end at our location unless indicated otherwise. For example, the Old Town Pub Crawl in Scottsdale ends at the final bar, which is near our location. Please check the itinerary of the service you are booking for specific details.
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WAIVERS COMPLETED IN ADVANCE, OTHERWISE YOUR START TIME MAY BE DELAYED. Click here to view and sign the waiver. You may send this link to your party ahead of time so that they may complete their waivers, as well.
Upon completion, you will receive a verification email that your waiver is complete. Please have your photo ID ready at check-in to verify that your waiver has been completed.
Private parties can take the party bike to any stop that they want to go to in our operating area! If you have a few favorite bars, just let the captain know where to go. Want to try something new? Ask the captain for a recommendation! Most groups can make it to up to three stops with about 25 minutes at each stop.
Pub crawls with multiple groups on board have a set itinerary of three bar stops that cannot be changed.
Yes! While you do have to pedal to make the bike move, the bike is equipped with an electric assist motor to help the riders. It’s a lot easier than it looks!
