What's included

On the bus

Open-air custom bus

A custom-built rolling bar that lets you see and be seen as you roll past Broadway. More airflow than a closed bus, more energy than a pedal tavern.

VIP bartender onboard

A real bartender pours drinks and keeps the energy high, so you can focus on singing, dancing, and celebrating.

Your own playlist

Bluetooth sound system. Bring your music or let the bartender DJ for you.

LED party lighting

Because Nashville nights deserve extra sparkle. The bus lights up after dark.

Mid-tour bathroom break

A planned stop halfway through at a top downtown bar. Smart logistics for a 2-hour open-air ride.

Pre-party at the depot

Arrive early for the outdoor party: full bar with frozen cocktails, a custom trucker-hat bar, and murals built for photos.

Christine's pick
"When the group is too big for a party bike, or you just want covered transport with the same energy, the party bus is the move. A beautiful open-air bus, a real bartender on board, your playlist on the speakers, and the best views of downtown. Get there 30 minutes early, the pre-party at the depot is half the experience."

Common questions

Party bus FAQ

Can we bring our own drinks?
No. Tennessee law requires you to purchase drinks on-site. They have a great selection of beer and seltzers (Miller Lite, Bud Light, White Claw, Truly).
What if it rains?
The bus runs rain or shine. In case of severe weather, you'll receive a gift card to reschedule.
Do we stop anywhere?
Yes, there's a bathroom break about halfway through at a top downtown bar.
How many people fit?
Up to 25 guests per bus. The per-person rate drops with bigger groups, and you can book the whole bus private for $681.
How does this compare to a party bike?
Bigger group capacity, faster between stops, covered if it rains, and a real bartender on board. A different vibe than the slow-paced bike.
How early should I arrive?
At least 30 minutes early. The pre-party at the depot is half the fun: full bar, frozen cocktails, custom trucker-hat bar, and murals for photos.
