While On the Rolling Pub
Detroit Rolling Pub is meant to offer a fun and novel approach to touring downtown Detroit, the greatest city in the world! We ask all of our pedal bar riders to show the same level of respect to our bike, your driver, and the city of Detroit as you would any other upscale pub. Groups exhibiting excessive intoxication or other inappropriate behavior will have their tour immediately terminated, without refund.
Our COVID-19 SAFE START Plan
Things will be a little different for a short period but we could not be more excited to get back to the streets we all love so much!
As Detroit’s number one Pedal Bar we have always been customer driven. Being the safest Pedal bar in the city will always be a top priority for us and we will continue to do so. We want to make sure you have the best tour possible and if you do not want to go to a bar you don’t have to! We can roll through the streets of Detroit and still have an amazing time! The choice is yours!
We are like a restaurant which is allowed to be open. We only accept PRIVATE tours- your group only. We ask that if you do not feel well or have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19 you do not come on the tour and reschedule. You will be able to reschedule for a lifetime.
We are Detroit’s Premier pedal bar! Having the most fun since 2015! There’s a reason why we’re the highest rated, most followed and most talked about pedal bar in the state – Just ask over 100,000 people who have joined us in the last 4 years! Enjoying our pedal bars is easy: Gather your group, bring your favorite beverage and enjoy the city like never before! As the name implies, the Detroit Rolling Pub incorporates two favorite pastimes, bikes and beer! Just want to enjoy the City from a super comfy bike seat and not drink don’t worry we do that also!
