Private Trolley Pub w/ Bar+Mural Stops: up to 15ppl

Imagine cruising through the vibrant streets of St. Pete on a lively, pedal-powered trolley that’s packed with your friends or colleagues. That’s exactly what a Private Trolley Pub tour offers — a 2-hour, customizable adventure blending bar hopping, mural sightseeing, and good old-fashioned fun. While we haven’t taken this particular tour ourselves, the setup promises an interactive, social outing, especially appealing for celebrating special occasions or group gatherings.

What makes this experience stand out? First, the ability to personalize your route, playlist, and stops means you get to craft an outing that suits your group’s vibe. Second, the option to bring your own drinks (BYOB) and snacks adds a relaxed, budget-friendly touch. Third, the inclusion of Instagram-worthy mural stops makes it a great way to combine social media-ready photos with your drinks and laughs. That said, keep in mind that this is a private experience, and some might prefer a more traditional bar crawl or a guided tour with commentary.

A potential consideration: the bike’s outdoor nature means you’ll want to check the weather forecast. Poor weather might cause cancellations unless rescheduled, and the activity requires moderate physical effort—though it’s generally accessible for most. This tour is ideal for groups who enjoy casual outdoor fun, want to skip the typical bar scene, and love the chance to customize their outing in a lively, scenic setting.

If you’re someone who enjoys a blend of socializing, outdoor activity, and a touch of local artistry, this Trolley Pub tour should be on your radar. It’s particularly suited for groups seeking a memorable, interactive experience with a personalized touch, without the fuss of traditional guided tours.

A Closer Look at the Trolley Pub Experience

What is the Trolley Pub Experience?

This isn’t your average pub crawl. The Trolley Pub is a pedal-powered, mobile party that operates much like a bike but on a larger scale, accommodating groups of up to 15 people per trolley. You and your group will hop on at the starting point — 3 Daughters Brewing — and pedal through downtown St. Pete, stopping at vibrant bars and mural sites along the way.

The tour lasts approximately 2 hours, and the entire experience is private, meaning only your group is on the trolley. You can set your own pace, stop for photos, or just soak up the lively atmosphere.

What’s Included and What’s Not

Included in the price ($376 per group):

• Bottled water (with ice, free on board)
• A stereo system for your playlist

Not included:

• Alcoholic drinks (you bring your own, up to 19% alcohol, no glass bottles)
• Snacks or food (feel free to bring your own)

The Route & Stops

The itinerary features 3-4 stops, each lasting around 20 minutes, giving you ample time to enjoy the vibe, grab a drink, and take photos.

Stop 1: The Dog Bar
A lively spot to kick off your journey, though admission tickets are not included, so you’ll need to cover your drinks or food here separately.

Stop 2: Trophy Fish
Known for its bohemian charm, this bar offers a relaxed setting—perhaps the highlight for many, described as “a beautiful bar with a boho vibe.”

Stop 3: Par Bar
A fun pit stop where you can challenge friends to a quick game—”see how fast you can get a hole in one,” if you’re into mini-golf.

Stop 4: Mixers at Old Key West Bar & Grill
A laid-back bar with a humorous vending machine, adding a quirky touch to your trip.

Stop 5: Salty Nun
A cheeky, tongue-in-cheek “church” stop—perfect for a few laughs and some candid photos.

Why Travelers Love This Tour

According to reviews, one standout feature is the stunning murals on route, perfect for Instagram shots. Several mention how the mural stops provide a fun photo op and a chance to explore local street art. Others love the flexibility—you can customize your playlist, ask the driver to stop at specific murals, and bring your favorite snacks.

What Could Be Improved?

Since the tour is weather-dependent, bad weather could mean rescheduling or cancellation. Also, some reviews suggest that the activity requires at least moderate physical effort—pedaling for 2 hours might be tiring for some, but many found it manageable and fun.

Practical Tips

• Bring plenty of water and snacks (no glass containers).
• Stock up at 3 Daughters Brewing before the tour begins.
