2 Hours Party Bike Pub Crawl Tour in Glendale California

Glendale’s Ebird Express is less a workout than a rolling party room. You pedal through town with karaoke, LED lights, and a Bluetooth speaker, stop at two local bars, and bring your own alcoholic drinks for the onboard bartender to serve. The cart returns to its starting point, so you can enjoy the evening without arranging a second ride.

I like the BYOB format, which lets you bring drinks that suit your group, and I like the friendly, celebration-focused service. Hosts Chris and Chris have helped birthday groups and work teams, while the cart’s water, wristbands, discount menu, and audio setup keep the outing easy to manage.

The main thing to consider is time. The advertised outing is roughly one to two hours, with about 30 minutes at each bar, so the ride can feel brief for a big celebration. If you want a longer night, ask about an extended tour, since one party group strongly recommended at least three hours.

Key things to know before you book

• It is a party bike, not a hard cycling tour: The cart can be enjoyed without strenuous pedaling, according to the experience details shared by past customers.
• Bring your own alcohol: Alcoholic drinks are not included, but water, a bartender, music, lights, and a discount menu are provided.
• Two Glendale stops: You spend about 30 minutes at Paperback Brewing Co. and 30 minutes at Gold Rail Bar.
• The ride begins and ends in the same place: The main meeting point is 236 N Central Ave, Glendale.
• Good for group occasions: Birthday parties, team outings, and community events fit the setup especially well.
• You must be 21 or older to drink on the cart: The maximum group size is 30 people.

A rolling karaoke room in central Glendale

The best reason to book this outing is the unusual combination of transport and entertainment. You are not simply moving between bars. The ride itself is the main event, with dual karaoke, music from a Bluetooth speaker, colored LED party lights, and room for a group to sing together.

That makes Ebird Express a strong choice for a birthday or team gathering. You can talk, sing, bring drinks, and see Glendale from the road between stops. The cart gives your group a shared activity, which is often easier than trying to keep everyone together in two separate cars or at a crowded bar.

I would not book it expecting a quiet tour of Glendale or a serious pub crawl with lots of time at each venue. The mood is social and loud by design. You are paying for a moving party space, not a guided history tour.

The supplied price is $54.99 per person. That is a reasonable rate if your group uses the karaoke, lights, sound system, and service during the ride. It is less compelling if you mainly want two drinks at two bars, since alcohol is extra and must be brought separately or purchased at the stops.

What the two-hour schedule really gives you

The listed duration is about one to two hours, and travel time is included. The title presents it as a two-hour party bike pub crawl, while the detailed timing gives each bar about 30 minutes. That leaves the remaining time for boarding, riding between stops, and returning to the meeting point.

This matters because 30 minutes passes quickly. You may have enough time to order a drink, visit the restroom, take a few photos, and enjoy the atmosphere, but not enough time for a long meal or an unhurried conversation at both locations.

I would treat the schedule as a compact group activity. It works well before dinner, after a daytime event, or as a short birthday outing. If your group wants a full evening, contact the operator about duration before booking. One large birthday party found that a three-hour outing would have been better, especially for a group of 12.

The cart has a maximum capacity of 30 people. A larger group can make the karaoke and group energy more enjoyable, but a small group may find the mood more relaxed. The supplied information does not specify a minimum group size for ordinary bookings, though the activity itself requires a minimum number of participants to operate.

Stop one: Paperback Brewing Co.

Your first listed stop is Paperback Brewing Co., where you have about 30 minutes. The brewery offers a varied selection of beer and hard seltzers, indoor and outdoor seating, and food trucks.

That mix gives you some flexibility. If the weather is pleasant, outdoor seating lets the group spread out a little. If you want food, the food truck option may help you turn the stop into more than a quick drink. The menu can vary, so I would not count on a particular truck or dish unless the operator confirms it before your outing.

Paperback is also a useful first stop because it offers more than one kind of drink. Beer drinkers and people who prefer hard seltzer have a clear choice, while the indoor and outdoor spaces give your group somewhere to settle for the short break.

The limitation is the 30-minute visit. You may need to order promptly, especially if the group is large. This is not a long brewery tasting session, and the experience does not state that a brewery tour or guided tasting is included. Think of Paperback as a social bar stop with a brewery setting, not as a formal brewery education.

Stop two: Gold Rail Bar

The second stop is Gold Rail Bar, also scheduled for roughly 30 minutes. It offers beer and mixed drinks, with indoor and outdoor seating and access to local eatery food.

This stop adds variety after Paperback. Instead of choosing between beer and hard seltzer, you can order from a broader drink list that includes mixed drinks. The local food option is useful if your group wants something to eat, though food is not included in the tour price.

The two-stop design works because the venues have different drink profiles. Paperback gives you a brewery and hard seltzer setting. Gold Rail shifts the mood toward a standard bar with mixed drinks and local food. You get a small sample of Glendale nightlife without spending the whole evening in one place.

Again, watch the clock. Thirty minutes is enough for a quick drink and bite, but not necessarily enough to settle in. If your priority is eating a full meal, plan around the tour rather than assuming the pub crawl will provide dinner.

The BYOB arrangement and what is included

Alcohol is not included in the $54.99 price. The experience is BYOB for the cart, so you should plan your drinks before arriving. The details specifically list alcoholic beverages as excluded, while water is included.

The cart’s bartender serves drinks during the ride, based on the information provided for the experience. You should still confirm any container or quantity rules before the day of your booking, since those details are not specified here.

Included features are:

• Dual karaoke
• Bluetooth speaker
• LED party lights
• Water
• Discount menu
• Wristbands

These extras explain much of the price. You are not paying only for transportation between two bars. You are paying for a private-feeling entertainment setup that keeps the group occupied between stops.

The karaoke is especially important. If your group likes to sing, the ride itself can become the highlight. If nobody wants a microphone, the sound system and lights still provide atmosphere, but part of the value may be lost. I would ask your group ahead of time if they want an active singalong or a quieter ride.

You must be at least 21 to drink alcohol on the cart. The information says most people can participate and lists no health restrictions, but it does not provide detailed mobility or seating specifications. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation.

Meeting in Glendale and getting ready to ride

The primary meeting point is 236 N Central Ave, Glendale, California 91203. The activity ends back at that same meeting point, which is convenient if you leave your car there or want to continue your evening nearby.

A secondary pickup location is listed behind In-N-Out Burger, at the intersection of Broadway Avenue and Orange Street, across from Islands Restaurant. Because the wording distinguishes this from the main meeting point, check your confirmation carefully so you know which location applies to your booking.

Pickup is offered, but the supplied details do not explain the pickup radius, schedule, or extra cost. Do not assume hotel pickup unless it is confirmed for your reservation. The safest plan is to use the exact location shown in your booking confirmation.

Confirmation arrives at booking. The activity is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket, so keeping your confirmation on your phone should be straightforward.

Why this works for birthdays and team outings

This experience has a clear social advantage: everyone shares the same moving space. A birthday group can sing together, bring drinks, and stop at bars without asking one person to drive between locations. A work team can use the ride as a structured activity rather than hoping conversation develops around a restaurant table.

The operator has also handled special occasions with personal attention. Chris and Chris are named as hosts for one large birthday outing, and the service included help with arrangements at the stopping points. That suggests it is worth sharing the occasion with Ebird Express in advance rather than keeping it secret until arrival.

The same format has been used for a workplace team outing and a community Christmas parade. Those examples show that the cart is not limited to nightlife. Still, the drink-centered structure and 21-plus alcohol rule make it most natural for adult groups.

I would be more cautious about booking it for a group with very different expectations. Some people may want energetic karaoke, while others may prefer a calm meal. The short stops also mean the group needs to stay reasonably organized.

Price, group size, and overall value

At $54.99 per person, the tour sits in the range of a paid group activity rather than a simple bar crawl. The price includes the vehicle, onboard entertainment, water, wristbands, and coordination between the two stops. Alcohol and food are extra, so your final cost will depend on what you bring and buy.

For a birthday, the value is easy to understand. You get a built-in activity, a moving party room, and a return to the original meeting point. For a casual night out with one or two friends, the cost may be harder to justify, especially if you are not interested in karaoke.

A group of up to 30 can participate, but a full cart may feel different from a small booking. A large party creates more energy and gives the karaoke setup a natural audience. A smaller group may have more room to talk, though the exact seating arrangement is not provided.

The strongest value comes when you use the features. Bring drinks, prepare a playlist or song requests, and decide which birthday or team moments you want to celebrate. If you simply sit on the cart and wait for the stops, the price will feel higher.

Cancellation and practical planning

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes made less than 24 hours before the experience are not accepted, and cancellations inside that window are not refunded.

The activity may also be canceled if the minimum number of participants is not reached. In that case, you are offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

I would book once your group has settled on a date, then send everyone the meeting point and BYOB details. Give yourself time to confirm who is 21 or older if drinking on the cart is part of the plan. Since the ride returns to the starting location, you can keep the evening simple, but you should still arrange safe transportation if you plan to drink after the tour.

Should you book the Ebird Express party bike?

Book this tour if you want a short, social Glendale outing with karaoke, music, lights, and two bar stops. It is particularly well suited to birthdays, work teams, and groups that enjoy singing together. The return to the starting point and the included water make the logistics easier, while BYOB keeps the drink plan flexible.

Think twice if you want a long pub crawl, a guided look at Glendale, or a full meal at each stop. The standard outing gives you about 30 minutes at Paperback Brewing Co. and 30 minutes at Gold Rail Bar, so the pace is brisk.

My practical advice is to confirm the pickup location, ask about extending the duration for a large party, and plan your drinks before arriving. If your group wants a lively shared activity rather than a quiet night at a bar, the $54.99 price can be fair value.
