Bar Crawl Party Bus FAQs
How many bars can we hit in 4 hours?
Typically 4-6 bars depending on neighborhood and group pace. We recommend 30-45 minutes per bar. Wicker Park's density allows more stops, while River North requires more transit time between venues.
Can we bring our own alcohol on the party bus?
Absolutely! BYOB is encouraged. We provide coolers and ice. Stock your bus before pickup or make a liquor store stop as your first destination. All passengers must be 21+ if alcohol is present.
What if our group wants to stay longer at one bar?
Your driver is flexible. Adjust the plan on the fly. If you find a bar with great energy, stay longer and skip another stop. We're here to facilitate your perfect night, not enforce a rigid schedule.
Do you drop us at the bar entrance?
Yes! We drop as close as legally permitted to each bar entrance. Your driver coordinates with each venue's rideshare zone or front door. No mile-long walks from parking lots.
Can we change neighborhoods mid-crawl?
Yes, within reason. If you start in Wicker Park but want to end in River North, we can adjust. Keep in mind transit time between neighborhoods eats into your bar time. Most groups stick to one neighborhood for maximum bar coverage.
