Brewery Tour Party Bus in Dallas

Brewery Tour Party Bus in Dallas — Hop On, Drink Up

Dallas has quietly become one of the best craft beer cities in the South. With over 50 breweries scattered across the Metroplex — from Deep Ellum taprooms to Design District barrel-aging facilities to suburban brewpubs in Richardson and Irving — there is a beer for every palate and a story behind every pint. The challenge? These breweries are spread across a metro area the size of Connecticut, and driving between them means someone always has to skip the tasting. A Dallas Party Ride brewery tour party bus solves that problem permanently: everyone drinks, nobody drives, and your group hits more breweries in one afternoon than you could visit in a month of solo weekend trips.

Brewery tours have become a signature Dallas experience for birthdays, bachelor parties, corporate team-building, and Saturday adventures with friends. A party bus elevates the experience by turning the gaps between breweries into part of the fun — BYOB a growler from the last stop, crank the music, and roll into the next taproom as a crew. It is the way craft beer was meant to be explored.

Why Brewery Tours Deserve a Party Bus

• Designated driver for everyone: Tasting 4-ounce pours at four breweries adds up fast. A professional driver means no one has to hold back, no one has to do the math, and no one has to risk a DUI.
• More breweries, less logistics: Driving between Deep Ellum and the Design District takes 10 minutes, but parking, navigating, and regrouping eat another 20. A bus handles the routing so you maximize taproom time.
• BYOB between stops: Buy a growler or crowler at one brewery and crack it on the bus. Our vehicles have coolers and ice ready to keep your haul cold.
• Food truck flexibility: Many Dallas breweries host food trucks on weekends. Your driver can adjust the route in real time to hit the best food-truck lineup of the day.
• Group cohesion: Brewery tours with 12+ people and 4 separate cars always lose someone. The bus keeps the crew together and the energy high all day.

Vehicle Recommendations

Check out the full fleet and pick based on your crew size:

• 20-Passenger Party Bus: The most popular choice for brewery tours. Seats 12–18 with room for growlers, crowlers, and the occasional six-pack purchase. Bluetooth sound and LED lighting keep the between-stops party alive.
• 30-Passenger Party Bus: Ideal for larger groups — office outings, birthday parties, or combined friend groups. More room means more growler storage and more dance floor.
• Stretch Limousine: For intimate groups of 8–12 who prefer a refined vibe. Perfect for couples' brewery tours or VIP tasting experiences.

The Group Size Planner helps match your headcount to the right ride.

Planning Tips & Timeline

A solid brewery tour hits 4–6 stops over 5–7 hours. Here is a Design District-focused route:

• 12:00 PM: Bus picks up at a central point — a host's home, a hotel in Uptown, or a corporate office.
• 12:30 PM: Stop 1 — Deep Ellum Brewing Company. Tour the facility, sample the lineup (60 minutes).
• 1:45 PM: Stop 2 — Peticolas Brewing. Intimate taproom, award-winning beers (45 minutes).

• 5:00 PM: Stop 5 — BrainDead Brewing in Deep Ellum. Full food menu and house-brewed beers (60 minutes).
• 6:15 PM: Optional stop 6 — Celestial Beerworks for a nightcap pour.
• 7:00 PM: Bus heads back to drop-off point. Growlers in the cooler, memories in the bank.

What to Expect on the Day

Your driver arrives early with coolers iced and the bus ready to roll. At each brewery, the bus drops your group at the entrance. Most Dallas taprooms welcome bus groups, but it is courteous to call ahead for parties over 15 — some smaller taprooms appreciate the heads-up. Taproom etiquette matters: tip your bartenders, be mindful of other customers, and pace your tastings. Between stops, the bus becomes a tasting lounge — open the crowler you just bought, compare flavor notes, and vote on the day's best pour. For groups interested in the brewing process, several of the stops above offer guided brewery tours by appointment.

Pricing & Cost Considerations

Brewery tour pricing is based on hours and vehicle type. A 20-passenger party bus for a six-hour tour, split among 15 guests, often comes out to less per person than you would spend on parking and rideshares at each stop. Add in the BYOB savings from growler fills versus bar-price pints, and the economics are a no-brainer. Get a custom quote with the Trip Cost Calculator, or call (214) 945-0983.

Safety & Logistics

This is the single most important reason to book a brewery tour bus: safety. Tasting at multiple breweries over several hours guarantees that every driver in your group will be over the legal limit. All Dallas Party Ride drivers are commercially licensed, insured, and experienced with brewery-district routes. We know the loading zones, the tight parking at smaller taprooms, and the best routes between neighborhoods.
