Party Bike Private Party Up To 14 People in Old Town Scottsdale
Make Old Town Scottsdale your moving party. This private two-hour ride gives your group the whole bike, a driver-guide, music, coolers, ice, cups, and stops at three local bars. I like the private format, since your group does not have to share the bike with strangers, and I like the bar specials, including 20% off at Social Tap and all-day happy hour at Boondocks.
The main drawback is that this is a party outing first and a sightseeing tour second. You will see Old Town, Camelback Mountain, Fashion Square Mall, and the Sonoran Desert setting, but the focus stays on pedaling, drinks, music, and group fun. You also need at least six passengers, and the full group price makes the most sense when you fill several seats.
Key points to know before booking

- Private bike for up to 14 people: Your group gets the entire party bike for about two hours, with no unrelated passengers joining you.
- Three bar stops in Old Town: Social Tap, Boondocks Patio & Grill, and Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge each offer a different setting and deal.
- Driver-guides shape the mood: Jacob, Captain Kirk, Chase, and Ian have all been praised for keeping groups laughing, engaged, and on schedule.
- You can bring the party onto the bike: Adult beverages are allowed on board and can be purchased at the on-site booze store.
- Arrive 30 minutes early: Check-in, drinks, coolers, ice, and cups are handled at Arizona Party Bike headquarters.
- The $599.99 price is per group: Fill most or all of the available seats and the per-person cost becomes far more reasonable.
A two-hour party on wheels in Old Town Scottsdale

This experience is built for a group that wants to do something louder and more social than a standard bar crawl. You pedal together around Old Town Scottsdale while your driver-guide handles the route and keeps the atmosphere moving.
The setting helps. Old Town mixes old western-style buildings with restaurants, bars, patios, shops, and nightlife. You are not riding through a remote part of town or spending the day in a vehicle. The route keeps you close to the entertainment district, with a few well-placed stops along the way.
I would think of the bike as a rolling gathering place. It gives your group a shared activity between drinks, which can be useful when a large party would otherwise split into smaller clusters. You can select music, raise your drinks, and enjoy the novelty of seeing Old Town from a moving seat.
The ride is not designed as a quiet history tour. The information about Scottsdale, the Sonoran Desert, and local sights is secondary to the social side of the outing. That makes it a strong choice for birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette groups, reunions, and other celebrations where the point is spending time together.

Why the private format matters for groups

The entire bike is reserved for your party. That is the biggest practical advantage over a shared tour. You can keep your own conversation, music choices, jokes, and pace without adjusting to people you have never met.
The listed price is $599.99 per group, with space for up to 14 people. At full capacity, that works out to about $43 per person before food and drinks. With 10 people, it is about $60 each. With six people, the minimum required, it comes to about $100 each.
That difference matters. I would book this confidently for a large group that can fill most seats. For six people, the price is harder to justify unless you value the privacy and the celebration enough to pay for exclusive use.
The information describes the bike as accommodating up to 14 people for this booking, while the general description refers to a larger possible capacity. To avoid confusion, plan around the stated group limit of 14 when making your arrangements.
Arriving at Arizona Party Bike headquarters
Your day begins at 7034 E Osborn Road in Scottsdale. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before departure, not at the scheduled start time. That extra half hour is used for check-in and getting your drinks and party supplies ready.
The operator provides coolers, ice, cups, and helmet use. Adult beverages are legal on the party bike and are available at the on-site booze store. Food and drinks are not included in the base price unless specifically stated, so you should budget for those separately.
This early arrival window is especially important for a full group. Fourteen people buying drinks, sorting personal items, and getting settled can take time. If even one person arrives late, the whole party may feel rushed before the ride begins.
The driver-guide is an important part of the experience. Jacob has been singled out for making a group’s outing fun, while Captain Kirk was praised for running a three-stop trip and allowing the group to choose the music. Chase was described as a great driver who delivered a 10 out of 10 experience, and Ian received praise for showing Old Town and Scottsdale.
Those details give you a useful picture of the job. The guide is not only steering and handling logistics. The best guides also keep conversation going, help the group stay involved, and set the tone for the two hours.
Social Tap brings patio comfort and a clear discount
Social Tap is the first named bar stop. It has a patio with misters, a valuable feature in Scottsdale, where outdoor heat can change how much you enjoy a day outside.
Party bike riders receive 20% off at Social Tap. That is one of the clearest money-saving perks in the experience. You still pay for your own food and drinks, but the discount can soften the cost for a large party, especially if people order at the same time.
The stop lasts about 30 minutes. That is long enough to get off the bike, cool down, order something, and use the break to reset before pedaling again. It is not a long meal stop, so I would not count on it for a leisurely dinner.
The patio also gives you a change of pace. After the movement and noise of the bike, a shaded or misted outdoor area can be a welcome pause. If the weather is warm, this may be one of the most comfortable parts of the route.

Boondocks adds games and all-day happy hour
Boondocks Patio & Grill Scottsdale is the second named stop. Its appeal is the outdoor patio and games, which gives the group something to do beyond sitting with a drink.
Party bike riders receive all-day happy hour pricing here. That is a useful benefit because it does not depend on arriving during a narrow late-afternoon window. You can enjoy the discount as part of the scheduled stop rather than trying to shape your whole outing around a bar’s normal happy hour.
Again, the planned stop is about 30 minutes. I would see this as a social break, not a full dining experience. If your group wants food, place orders promptly and keep an eye on the departure time.
The patio and games may suit a group with mixed energy levels. Some people can focus on conversation, while others have a casual activity nearby. This helps prevent the middle of the tour from becoming simply another round of drinks.
Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge gives the tour an Old Town finish
The final named stop is Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge, described as a classic Old Town dive with drink specials for party bike riders. Compared with the patio-focused settings at Social Tap and Boondocks, this stop offers a more traditional bar feel.
The stop lasts about 30 minutes. You can also be dropped off at Pattie’s instead of returning to headquarters if that suits your plans. This is a useful option if your group wants to continue its night in Old Town or has arranged another activity nearby.
If you choose the drop-off, make sure everyone in the group knows the plan before the final stop. The standard end point is back at the meeting point, so the optional drop-off changes your transportation needs afterward.
Pattie’s can also work as a simple ending point for a celebration. You have had the moving portion of the experience, visited two other venues, and can decide if the group wants to keep going or call it a day.
The sightseeing is brief but gives the ride a sense of place
The route remains in Old Town Scottsdale, so you will see a mix of old western buildings, bars, restaurants, and the local entertainment district. Fashion Square Mall runs along the route and is known for high-end shops.
You may also see Camelback Mountain from Old Town. It is a recognizable Scottsdale landmark, and an early morning hike is suggested as a separate way to experience it. Do not confuse this party bike with a mountain excursion. You are viewing the mountain from town, not hiking it during the ride.
The Sonoran Desert is close to Scottsdale, and that setting helps explain the city’s dry heat and distinctive surroundings. Still, the bike route is an urban Old Town outing. You should book it for the town’s bars, patios, architecture, and social atmosphere, not for a close look at desert scenery.
A well-known hotel with pool parties is also near the entertainment district, and it may be visible or nearby along the route. The supplied details do not identify the hotel, so I would not book the ride expecting a dedicated hotel visit.
Drinks, music, and the practical side of the ride

Music is part of the experience, and groups may select what they want to hear. That makes the private format especially useful. A shared bike can bring mixed tastes, while your own group can make its own choices.
The bike includes coolers, ice, and cups. That reduces the amount of preparation you need before arrival. You still pay for drinks unless a particular item is included, and food is not included in the price.
The driver-guide keeps the bike moving and helps maintain the energy. Several guide names receive particularly strong praise: Jacob, Captain Kirk, Chase, and Ian. You should not assume a specific guide will be assigned, but the repeated focus on driver personality tells you something important about this experience. The guide can make a major difference.
You should also use basic judgment around alcohol. The experience is built around adult beverages, but you are still moving through a public town center. Keep your group together, follow the guide’s instructions, and leave enough time for check-in and each stop.
Who will enjoy this most
I would recommend this to:
- Groups celebrating a birthday or milestone
- Bachelor and bachelorette parties
- Friends who want a shared activity before a night out
- Company or team groups seeking a casual social event
- Families with adult children who meet the age rules
- Groups that can fill at least six seats and preferably most of the bike
The minimum age is 21 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Since alcohol is central to the experience, adult groups should confirm that the arrangement suits everyone before booking.
I would be more cautious about recommending it to anyone seeking detailed Scottsdale history, quiet scenery, a serious food tour, or a long desert excursion. The sightseeing is incidental. The real attraction is the group atmosphere.
Timing, weather, and cancellation details
The ride lasts about two hours, with roughly 30-minute periods at the listed stops. Since the experience requires good weather, a poor forecast can affect the plan. If the operator cancels for weather, you can receive a different date or a full refund.
The same applies if the minimum number of passengers is not met. You will be offered a different date or experience, or a full refund.
You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off follows Scottsdale local time, so do not wait until the last minute if your plans are uncertain.
Confirmation is provided when you book, and the experience is offered in English with a mobile ticket. Most people can participate, according to the supplied participation information, but the activity still involves sitting on and pedaling a party bike.
Is the $599.99 group price good value?
The price is fair when the bike is close to full. Fourteen people sharing the cost pay about $43 each, and the bar discounts can help lower spending during the stops. You also receive a private driver-guide, coolers, ice, cups, and helmet use.
At six people, the cost rises to about $100 per person before drinks and food. That is a significant price for two hours, though privacy, the guide, and the novelty of the bike may still make it worthwhile for a special event.
I would calculate the price before booking, based on your real head count rather than your hoped-for head count. If you have 12 to 14 committed people, this is a strong value for a private celebration. If you are still trying to reach six, wait until the group is firm.
Should you book the Scottsdale party bike?
Book it if you want a private, upbeat group outing with drinks, music, three bar stops, and a guide who helps keep everyone involved. Jacob, Captain Kirk, Chase, and Ian are all praised for the qualities that matter most here: humor, energy, engagement, and a good feel for the group.
Skip it if you want a quiet tour, serious local history, or a close look at the Sonoran Desert. For the best value, bring a large group, arrive 30 minutes early, use the drink specials, and decide in advance if you want the final drop-off at Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge or a return to headquarters.
