Pedal bar

Hi, we are coming with family over Thanksgiving and would like to do a pedal bar in Scottsdale. Eleven of us ages range 22-57. I see there are a few options. Any recommendations for a reputable company? Thanks!

Scottsdale has become a popular spot for pedal bars, and there are several reputable companies that cater to groups like yours, especially for Thanksgiving weekend. These pedal bars are a fun way to explore downtown Scottsdale while socializing and enjoying the scenery.

Here are some options and things to consider:

  • Scottsdale Pedal Tavern: One of the longest-running and well-reviewed pedal bar companies. They have a fleet of bars that can accommodate groups of various sizes, including your party of 11. They offer guided tours through downtown Scottsdale, with options for BYOB or pre-arranged drinks.
  • Pedal Pub Scottsdale: Another reputable choice with professional guides and well-maintained vehicles. They emphasize safety and a fun group experience, making them a good option for families and mixed-age groups.
  • City Brew Tours – Scottsdale: They combine pedal bar rides with a craft beer tasting experience. This may appeal if your group enjoys craft beers and wants a slightly more curated experience.

Additional tips:

  • Book well in advance, especially for Thanksgiving weekend, as these tours fill up quickly.
  • Check the age policies; most companies allow riders 21+ to drink, but passengers under 21 can still ride as long as they do not consume alcohol.
  • Plan for about 1.5–2 hours for a standard tour, though some companies offer longer excursions or customized private tours.
  • Consider transportation to and from the starting location if parking is limited or if you prefer not to drive.

Overall, for a group of 11 with mixed ages, Scottsdale Pedal Tavern or Pedal Pub Scottsdale would likely offer the best combination of reliability, safety, and fun atmosphere.
