Party Bike Private Party Up To 14 People in Old Town Scottsdale
The best part of this Scottsdale outing is simple: you get your own party bike and two hours to pedal, sip, listen to music, and roll through Old Town together. The route brings you past western-style buildings, bars, restaurants, Fashion Square Mall, and views toward Camelback Mountain. It feels more like a moving group celebration than a sightseeing tour.
I like the private format and the useful bar stops. Social Tap offers 20% off to party bike riders, Boondocks has an all-day happy hour, and Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge offers drink specials. I also like that guides such as Jacob, Kirk, Chase, and Ian are actively involved in keeping the group laughing and on track. The main consideration is the weather, plus the minimum of six passengers. This is a loud, social outing, not a quiet tour of Scottsdale.
Key points to know before you book

- Private party bike for your group: The booking is for one private bike, with the listed price covering a group of up to 14 people.
- Three Old Town stops: You can visit Social Tap, Boondocks Patio & Grill, and Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge during the two-hour outing.
- Drink specials save money: Social Tap offers 20% off, while Boondocks and Pattie’s provide their own specials for riders.
- You choose the music: The music selection helps your group set the mood instead of riding along to a fixed soundtrack.
- Arrive 30 minutes early: Check in at Arizona Party Bike headquarters, where you can get ice, cups, coolers, and party supplies.
- Six people are required: This experience needs at least six passengers and is best for groups that want a shared celebration.
A moving party through Old Town Scottsdale

Old Town Scottsdale is a good setting for a party bike because the main entertainment district places bars, patios, restaurants, shopping, and old western-style buildings close together. You are not spending the afternoon on long transfers between far-flung sights. Instead, the bike gives your group a rolling base as you move through the center of town.
The party bike is powered by the people aboard, but a driver-guide manages the ride. That matters after drinks begin. You can focus on pedaling, music, conversation, and the views while the guide handles the route and keeps the group together.
This is not a history tour with a long list of dates and architectural details. Scottsdale appears here as a social town, with its bars, patios, shopping, and desert setting providing the backdrop. You will see old western buildings and the busy collection of places to eat and drink that makes Old Town a popular night-out district.
A party bike also changes how you experience the streets. People will notice your group, and the ride has a public, outgoing feel. If you prefer to blend into the background, this may not be your style. If your group wants attention, music, and a shared joke that lasts all afternoon, the format makes sense.

Check-in at Arizona Party Bike headquarters
Your meeting point is Arizona Party Bike at 7034 E Osborn Road. Plan to arrive 30 minutes before departure, not at the scheduled start time. That early arrival gives the staff time to check in your group and get the bike ready.
The included equipment is practical rather than fancy: coolers, ice, cups, and helmets. Adult beverages are permitted on the party bike and can be purchased at the on-site booze store. Food and drinks are not included in the booking price unless specifically stated, so budget for your own beverages and any food you order at the stops.
The check-in period is also when you can organize the basics. Decide who wants which drink, load the coolers, and make sure everyone understands the meeting plan. A little order at the start helps the two-hour ride feel less rushed.
The minimum group size is six passengers. The price is listed as $599.99 per group, with the main title describing a maximum of 14 people. The general description also refers to groups of up to 15, so I would confirm the exact passenger limit when booking if your party has 15 people. For a group of 10 to 14, the cost works out to roughly $43 to $60 per person before drinks and food. That is a fair group price for a private two-hour activity, especially if you value having the bike to yourselves.
Social Tap adds a cool patio break

Social Tap is the first named bar stop, with about 30 minutes set aside. Its patio has misters, a welcome feature in Scottsdale’s heat. A shaded or misted break can make a major difference before you get back on the bike, particularly during the warmer part of the day.
Party bike riders receive 20% off at Social Tap. This is one of the clearest money-saving features of the outing. It does not cover the drinks, but it lowers the bill when your group stops for refreshments.
Thirty minutes is enough for a quick drink and a reset, but it is not a long meal stop. If your group needs lunch, do not assume the schedule allows a full sit-down meal here. Food is not included, and the whole experience lasts about two hours, so plan to keep this stop fairly focused.
The patio also gives the group a chance to talk without the bike moving and the music playing. That small pause helps break up the ride and gives you a proper look at the local bar scene rather than treating every stop as a quick photo opportunity.
Boondocks brings happy hour and outdoor games
The next stop is Boondocks Patio & Grill Scottsdale, also scheduled for about 30 minutes. Party bike riders receive all-day happy hour pricing, and the outdoor patio includes games.
This is a useful combination for a group. The happy hour offer can reduce the cost of another round, while the games give your group something to do beyond sitting with a drink. It also suits a mixed group where some people want conversation and others want a little friendly competition.
Again, keep the time limit in mind. A half-hour stop moves quickly if everyone is ordering, finding a place to sit, and deciding whether to play a game. The guide will help keep the schedule moving, but you should be ready to leave when the group is called back to the bike.
If your group has different tastes, the patio format is helpful. Some people can enjoy the outdoor setting while others play. I would treat Boondocks as a social break, not as the main meal of the day, unless you have confirmed that your timing allows more than the planned stop.

Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge offers a classic finish
Pattie’s First Avenue Lounge is the final named stop and another 30-minute visit. It is described as a classic Old Town dive with drink specials for party bike riders.
This stop changes the tone from the patio setting at Social Tap and Boondocks. A dive bar can feel more casual and less polished, which may suit a group looking for a straightforward Old Town drinking stop rather than another large restaurant patio.
You can also be dropped off at Pattie’s instead of returning to headquarters, if you prefer. That option is useful if your group wants to continue its evening in Old Town. It also saves you from retracing the route, though you should arrange this clearly with the operator and make sure everyone in your group agrees before the ride begins.
The published end point is back at the original meeting point, so returning to headquarters is the standard plan. The Pattie’s drop-off is an alternative, not the default. If you leave the bike there, arrange your onward plans before the final stop rather than trying to work them out after drinks.
What you will see beyond the bars

The stops are the main structure, but the ride also gives you a quick look at Old Town Scottsdale. The route passes old western-style buildings, the entertainment district, restaurants, and Fashion Square Mall.
Fashion Square sits along the route and is known for high-end shops. It is not a separate shopping visit, so do not book this activity expecting time to browse the mall. You will see it as part of the ride, which gives you a sense of how close the shopping district is to the bars.
Scottsdale sits on the edge of the Sonoran Desert. The desert itself is not a separate stop, but its presence shapes the town and the views around it. You can also see Camelback Mountain from Old Town. The mountain is a well-known local landmark, and an early morning hike is suggested as a separate way to experience it.
That hiking note is important: the party bike does not include a Camelback Mountain hike. You may see the mountain from town, but climbing it is not part of this booking. If you want to add the hike, treat it as a separate plan and do not schedule it so tightly that you are rushing from one activity to the other.
The route also passes a hotel known for pool parties near the entertainment district. The information provided does not identify the hotel, and the party bike does not include admission to a pool party. Consider it part of the local scene you pass along the way, not an included attraction.
The driver-guide can make or break the ride
A party bike needs more than a driver who knows the streets. The guide sets the pace, handles the group, and helps create the mood. The strongest praise for this experience centers on the guides’ energy and ability to keep people laughing.
Jacob is singled out as a perfect fit for one group. Captain Kirk is praised for running a fun outing with three different stops and letting the group select the music. Chase is described as an excellent driver, with a 10 out of 10 experience from the group involved. Ian is noted for touring Old Town and showing off Scottsdale.
Those names are useful, but you should not assume you can request a particular guide unless Arizona Party Bike confirms it. Guide assignments can change. What you can expect is a driver-guide whose role includes managing the ride and keeping the party moving.
The music choice is a particularly nice touch. A fixed soundtrack can miss the mood of a group, while selecting your own music makes the bike feel more like your event. Agree on a few music choices before you arrive. That avoids spending half the ride negotiating over the speaker.
Is $599.99 good value for a private group?
The listed price is $599.99 per group. For six people, that is about $100 per person. For 14 people, it is about $43 per person, before drinks and food. The larger your group, the better the value becomes.
You are paying for privacy, a driver-guide, a two-hour outing, coolers, ice, cups, helmets, and the use of the bike. The bar discounts also help offset some of the cost. Social Tap’s 20% offer is especially clear, while Boondocks and Pattie’s provide their own specials.
I would not call this a low-cost way to have drinks in Scottsdale. You could visit the same district on foot for less. The reason to book is the activity itself: your group pedals together, chooses the music, arrives at several stops as a unit, and has a driver managing the route.
For a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette gathering, reunion, or group weekend, the private rate makes more sense than paying per person for separate entertainment. For a small party of six, the price is harder to justify unless the private setting matters to you.
The booking is most often made well ahead of the date, with an average lead time of 46 days. That suggests you should reserve early for a popular weekend or a date that matters to your group. The activity is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket.
Who will enjoy this Scottsdale ride?
I would choose this for an adult group that wants music, drinks, bar stops, and a social activity with a little movement. The private setup works well when everyone already knows one another and wants to share the same schedule.
It is also a good fit for people who want more than a bar crawl but less than a formal sightseeing tour. You get a look at Old Town, the Sonoran Desert setting, Camelback Mountain views, and local businesses, but the heart of the experience is the party.
I would think twice if your group dislikes attention, has difficulty pedaling, wants a quiet tour, or expects a full meal and detailed Scottsdale history. The activity requires participation, and the two-hour schedule includes several stops, so the pace may feel brisk.
The minimum age is 21 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The information also says most people can participate, but no special accessibility details are provided. If anyone in your group has mobility or participation concerns, contact the provider before booking.
The experience requires good weather. If poor weather causes cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund. That policy matters in Scottsdale, where heat can also affect comfort even when rain is not a concern.
Should you book the Old Town party bike?
Book it if your group wants a private, upbeat way to move between Old Town bars and does not mind being seen. The strongest reasons are the private bike, flexible music, active guides, patio stops, and discounts at partner bars.
The value improves sharply when 10 to 14 people share the $599.99 price. Arrive early, plan for drinks and food to cost extra, confirm the maximum passenger count if you have 15 people, and choose a date with weather in mind.
Skip it if you want serious sightseeing, a quiet afternoon, or a cheap way to visit Scottsdale’s bars. For the right group, though, this is a well-focused celebration: two hours, three social stops, a few desert and mountain views, and a guide keeping the whole thing moving.
