Denver Bike Bar

We did this with 10 people for a joint pre-​bachelor/​bachelorette party. Our «driver» was Laurie and she was awesome! I don’t think I have had as much fun as we did that night in a long time! We are all locals, and knew the bars downtown, but Laurie suggested a few of her favorite spots with deals through Denver Bike Bar, and every spot she suggested was great! Thanks Laurie for the awesome night!

I’ve seen these around town a lot and always wondered how much fun they were. Let me tell you they are all that and then some! My CrossFit crew decided to rent one yesterday to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of two of our members.
They have you gather in the lower level of Blake Street Tavern where they have $ 3.00 drink specials for Bud/​Coors. I opted for a craft beer instead and paid full price. Our driver came down to get us all loaded on the patio with our cooler full of beer and helped stow away our purses and what not. That’s when things started cranking. The beer was flowing into our solo cups and the music from one of our iPods was blaring through the speakers. Time to get this party started!
There are 11 seats to pedal, 5 lounger seats to relax and we even managed to get 3 people in the middle to have a quasi dance party. Definitely get ready to work as that ride is not going to get up those hills on it’s own. Even with all the pedaling, we hardly noticed we were breaking a sweat due to the sheer entertainment factor. We only ended up making it to two breweries (Epic & Black Shirt), but we enjoyed every second of it. We even got our driver to shake his groove thang and we all played Chinese fire drills at red lights. I would highly recommend checking it out! I can’t wait to do it again soon!!!

What a neat idea! You grab a group of friends and hop on a moving bar, and pedal around town, going from bar to bar. How awesome is that? Our friends organized this through a living social or groupon deal, so everyone ended up chipping in like $ 10 bux, cheap enough!
We met at Blake Street Tavern. Before our ride, the Broncos game was on, so we sat, ate, drank and watch them beat Dallas, as we waited for the rest of our party to join. Then we pedaled our way to Swanky’s, which had nice frozen drinks and shuffleboard. Then 30 mins later, pedaled to Maloney’s. 2 for 1 deals but the bar was completely empty. Wack. Then headed on over to View House, which was really fun! They had a bunch of games to play such as volleyball and bean bag toss band more. It was 2 stories, so there was lots if space.
Overall great tour of the bars, finished back at Blake Street Tavern and for our picture to be taken! Pretty fun night!

Roy H describes the process pretty well, so I won’t be redundant. I too used a LivingSocial deal for our ride.
Overall, a really fun way to spend a couple hours with friends. Driver brought his own music and we blasted it loud. We pedaled hard. And we ended up at a couple places new to some of us; FYI Maloney’s was lame and a bust, please don’t make that a stop in the future.
Driver did a great job explaining the do’s and don’ts; was patient with some of the less timely members of the other group we rode with, and an overall easy going guy. Would love to do this again, with a ride full of just my group and another hour to ride.

I have gone on two Denver Bike Bar tours in the past two years. I bought both of them (via groupon). These guys are pretty good with organizing everything.
To redeem the groupon you will have to email them from the website, and do a little back and forth on date/​time selection. They can be a bit slow to respond but its not bad. Just make sure to plan in advance!
Day of you meet them at Blake st Tavern. The downstairs area has a nice gameroom and specials to get the party started. From there you bike to three bars (of your choice) and you get about 20−30min at each bar. I am sure you have seen these cruising around and the tons of fun people are having on them… it really is that fun! They also have ipod/​aux hookups for the sound system so you can play whatever you want.
At the end you come back to Blake st Tavern (for a total of 5 bar stops) and then get a nice group photo… They dont allow booze one the bike bar, but you can bring Nalgenes so wink wink! Dont forget to tip the driver too. they always do an awesome job.
