Fort Worth: West 7th Pedal Bar Tour & Private Bike Party

Summary

Pedal-powered bar hopping through Fort Worth’s colorful West 7th

You’ll pedal your own party bike through Fort Worth’s West 7th district, stopping at lively bars for shots and games with friends old or new. Expect music pumping from onboard speakers, plenty of laughs with your local guide, and moments that stick—like sipping cold drinks on a warm Texas night or sliding into a bar for one last round.

What’s the experience like?

You hear it before you see it—music thumping from a rolling bike contraption, laughter spilling out into the street. That was us, climbing onto this wild pedal-powered bar in Fort Worth’s West 7th. Our guide, Marcus (he wore cowboy boots with shorts), handed me a cold can straight from the huge cooler and said, “You ready to work for your drinks?” Not sure what I expected, but pedaling with strangers-turned-friends while weaving past neon-lit patios felt way more fun than I’d guessed. The air smelled like fried dough from some bakery we passed—I almost hopped off right there.

First stop was this shot bar where the bartender had us “spin the wheel.” I landed on something blue and honestly still don’t know what was in it. Li laughed when I tried to say cheers in Mandarin—probably butchered it. We hit a country-themed place next; big dance floor, walls covered in old signs. Some folks two-stepped while others just leaned into their craft beers. Out on the patio, you could feel that sticky Texas heat clinging to your skin even after sunset. Didn’t mind though—felt like everyone was just happy to be out together.

The arcade bar was loud and packed, blinking lights everywhere. Someone challenged me to Skee-Ball (I lost). There was this moment outside where we all sat on the curb with our drinks and just listened to the city noise—a weird kind of peace between stops. Our last place had a slide inside (yes, really), and I’m still finding glitter from those photo backdrops in my bag. By the end, my legs were tired but my cheeks hurt more from laughing. If you’re thinking about a day trip or private tour around Fort Worth’s bars—just do it. There’s something about moving together under your own power that makes everything feel lighter somehow.
