Everything to know about pedal taverns before you book: what they cost, the BYOB rules, the downtown route, and the ride we send our own groups to.
I only point people to Nashville experiences I know and trust. Some links on this page are affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission at no cost to you, which helps support this guide and the local businesses we love.
A pedal tavern is a 15-rider group bike. Everyone pedals around a shared bar-top while a licensed driver steers and controls the route. Here's what to expect.
A licensed driver handles the wheel and the brakes the whole time. Your only job is to pedal and enjoy the ride.
Bring your own drinks in a cooler: cans and seltzers only. No glass, no wine, and no hard liquor allowed on board.
Party bikes are 21+ and everyone needs a valid ID at check-in. It's a drinking-friendly ride by design.
Most bikes loop the iconic stretch: Broadway, SoBro, and the Gulch, past the honky-tonks and neon.
Buy seats on a shared ride ($39–$49 a person), or book the whole 15-rider bike for your crew (from about $395).
It's Nashville's go-to for bachelorettes and birthdays. Private bikes get you your own music and your own group. Work crews love it too; for the food-first version, see our team building events in Nashville.
"A party bike is the classic Nashville photo down Broadway, and for a group that just wants zero planning, it's hard to beat. When people ask me which one to book, I send them to Nashville Pedal Tavern: established crew, clean bikes, and they keep it fun and safe."
There are a few operators in town. This is the one we send our groups to.
Show up, load the cooler, and pedal. Here's the flow.
Arrive a few minutes early with your ID and your cooler of cans. The crew loads you up and gives a quick safety brief.
Grab a spot at the bar-top, start pedaling, and let the licensed driver steer you into the heart of downtown.
Cruise the most iconic stretch of Nashville with the music up, waving at the honky-tonks.
Get the party-bike photo everyone comes to Nashville for, neon and Broadway behind you.
Roll back after about two hours, perfectly warmed up for dinner, a show, or the next stop on your crawl.
Grab seats on a public ride or reserve the whole bike for your crew. Weekends sell out fast.
