Crawl through Chicago's best bars — no walking required
Bar Crawl Party Bus in Chicago
With over 7,000 bars, Chicago is a city built for crawling. River North, Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park — each neighborhood has its own personality and its own collection of spots worth visiting. Walking between bars works until the weather doesn't cooperate, your heels start hurting, or the group starts losing people at every crosswalk. A bar crawl party bus keeps everyone together in comfort, rolling from stop to stop with the wet bar and sound system keeping energy high between pours.

Popular Bar Crawl Routes
River North, Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, Rush Street, Wicker Park, and the West Loop all offer incredible crawl routes. We know the best bars in every neighborhood and can suggest an itinerary or follow your plan exactly.
How to Plan the Perfect Bar Crawl
The best bar crawls stay in one neighborhood or connect two adjacent ones — that keeps travel time short and bar time long. Start with something casual to warm up, hit your best spots in the middle of the night, and save a late-night favorite for the last stop. Most groups hit 4-6 bars over 4-5 hours, spending 30-45 minutes at each. Your chauffeur knows which bars have long waits, which ones are slow on certain nights, and which streets to avoid for faster drop-offs.
Bar Crawl Pricing & Availability
Bar crawl buses are our bread and butter — we run them every night of the week. Saturday is the most popular and books earliest, but Thursday and Friday nights deliver great nightlife with better availability and pricing. Most groups book our 25 or 30-passenger bus for 4-5 hours. Pricing is flat-rate with stops planned within your reserved time, so you're never charged extra for adding one more bar to the route.

24 Passenger Party Bus
20-30 passengers
Twenty-four is the classic bachelor and bachelorette party number — two dozen friends ready to take over a Chicago bar crawl as one unified crew. The spacious interior means a real dance floor, a packed wet bar, and enough seating for everyone to regroup between destinations.
30 Passenger Party Bus
20-30 passengers
The 30-passenger party bus is Chicago's most-requested size because it nails the balance between party energy and personal space. Thirty people generate legitimate nightclub energy while still having room to sit, dance, and move between conversations without shouting over the crowd.
