We rode as part of a bachelorette party last weekend and had a blast! Our guide David was amazing. He even joined in on our dance party! Everyone at each bar stop was friendly. Would definitely book again.
Hipside peddler and Alex is amazing!! We had a blast and enjoyed each stop! He was very attentive and fun for a bachelorette party!
One of the best times I've ever had with a group of people. Alex was a great guide to some really neat places to stop for a drink and very funny too. Good time all around. Def recommend Alex and Hipside
It was a labor of love! My bride squad and I had a great time cruisin' and boozin' around Austin on our Hipside Peddler. We brought our own personal favorites: music, snacks and wine, but also enjoyed the food and bevs of the places we stopped. A few of our pit stops included: Grackle, Zilker Brewing Co., Yellow Jacket Social Club, and Lazarus Brewing Company. Our guide, Rachel, was fun, full of energy and took great care of our party! I would definitely recommend this little adventure/bar hopping tour to anyone looking for a good time for a special occasion, or just something fun to do with friends in the city!
I'm still laughing at the amazing time we had with the amazing Alex at Hipside Peddler! 100% worth every penny. It's byob and you can custom your trip with all your favorite breweries. We have the best photos thanks to Alex too! Pro tip: make a playlist and bring it on the ride!
Alex is a great host definitely worth the trip many bars to see and great vibes. Definitely coming again next time.

Hipside Peddler is such a FUN thing to do because it is not every day that we get to ride around Austin on an electric assisted bar on wheels, while sippin' on an alcoholic beverage that makes you feel a little bit prettier & blasting your favorite music so loud, that you think you're at the club!! ;)) Sounds fun, right?! :)) Trust me, you WILL for sure get points for creativity if you book a tour w/ Hipside Peddler to celebrate a special occasion. We booked the "Eastside tour" w/ Hipside Peddler on Saturday, 11/14/2020 to celebrate my friends 40th birthday & we had so much FUN! This was my 1st time so I had no idea what to expect but I can say that I am so glad that we were able to safely celebrate my friend's milestone birthday during this time of pandemic craziness. Since sharing is caring here are a few of my "Helpful Tips", "FYIs", & "Likes"... FYI: *You will be peddling the same way you would if riding a bike so be mindful of your foot wear & you will be getting a mini workout while peddling. *There are mini fans above each seat that you can turn on, if needed. *The peddle boat driver does have a plexiglass barrier between him & the passengers as a COVID safety precaution & the peddle boat itself is all open w/out any walls. *You can tip your peddling boat driver in cash & via Venmo. *The "Eastside" tour is 2 hours long & we made 3 separate stops at different local bars for 15-20 mins each so you can use the restroom, cool off, take a few pictures w/ your peeps and/or buy a drink while relaxing at each bar. Our awesome peddle boat driver was Matt & he also made a 4th stop at an Italian ice truck. *Each passenger must submit a liability waiver & you can do it electronically. Once your tour has been booked, you will get the waiver emailed to you. Helpful Tip(s): *BEVERAGES~I recommend that you bring your own ice chest already filled w/ ice & beverages (no glass containers are allowed) & there is an open area in the middle of the peddle boat for ice chest storage. *FOOD~only snacks are allowed & I suggest you bring snacks that are easy to munch on since you will be peddling while eating them. ( ex: mini bags of pretzels, individually wrapped cookies) *MUSIC~The peddle boat does have a stereo system that is very loud & has a usb that you can connect your phone to for music. I highly recommend that you create a music playlist of songs that help set the vibe that you're going for. I made a playlist using Spotify of all the songs I wanted to play. Lastly, I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Matt, who was our p.d driver because he really did a GREAT job of explaining "all things peddle boat" :) & putting us at ease so we could fully enjoy ourselves. This was so appreciated because each of us were newbie peddle boat passengers. Stay AWESOME Hipside Peddler & for sure I'll be seeing you again very soon! ~Rebecca out read more
Hipside Peddler was way more fun than anticipated! I went on the East Side Ride with a group of friends and Max really took care of us. He was very personable, patient and flexible with how we spent the allotted time. It was a great outing and a very different experience! On the evening I went it was just our smaller group on the tour so we had full control of the jams, cooler and schedule. We definitely held up traffic a bit when on some of the main roads but the motorists and bystanders we came across waved and cheered us on. Thankfully there is a motor on board so it's not necessary to be fully exerting yourself peddling. Recommend for a fun activity. Ask for Max! read more

We found Hipside Peddler after our Float the River tour was cancelled due to weather. We booked the day before our tour with no problems (it helped we were a full sized tour on our own) and we had a blast. We visited three locations: Yellow Jacket Social Club (dive bar), Zilker Brewing Co, and Lazarus Brewing Co. we were able to spend an hour at each of the first two locations and a little less than 30 min at Lazarus. You are able to bring your own beer for consumption on the peddler. Also - bring a phone with music - an aux cord is available. It rained during our ride but it was still very enjoyable. The peddler even offered us each a poncho to stay dry. Definitely recommend the peddle tavern if you're in town with friends/bachelor/bachelorette party. read more

You just can't make this shit up people lol!! Very disappointed with our experience. Went to Austin for a bachelorette party. Was looking forward to this being a highlight of our trip. First bar was very empty and very sketchy. In the middle of a not so welcoming neighborhood (even our Uber driver afterwards confirmed we were not in a good part of town). We left our first stop about 10 minutes in due to it being a total bust. On our way to the second stop our bike started making loud clicking noises. Our driver looked like he was trying to get the motor on board to work by pushing his pedal down over and over and that didn't work either. He tried to tell us we weren't pedaling hard enough and that it was our fault the bike wouldn't move so he was just going to skip right to the last bar.... only about 30-45 minutes into our trip. That didn't seem right. Bike ended up completely stopping in a very uncomfortable area. We had a few homeless men try hitching a ride and both bachelorette parties on board had their brides pushing the bike from behind just to get it off the street. Keep in mind, we had several CrossFit competitors on board who could not get the bike to move when pedaling. Shouldn't have been an issue considering they squat double their own weight. I've been on several trips in different places and never had an issue moving the bikes I've been on even up small hills. Our party decided we would end our experience with this bike and Uber to Rainey street which was AWESOME. But this company refuses to refund us and claims the bike was in perfect working condition. There's just no way! I'm attaching a few photos of what we documented. It's something we are laughing about now that it's been a few days but we were very upset when it happened. Also, our driver/ guide didn't help at all when we were telling him that the homeless people were trying to hitch a ride on the back. And our bike was decked out in Pizza Hut signs as if they were being sponsored. All around, most uncomfortable, unprofessional, and shady experience any of us have ever had. I do highly recommend Rainey street for anyone visiting from out of town, but avoid this company at all costs. We all (both bachelorette parties that ditched our tour) had a blast on Rainey street, but hated this tour!!! read more
