Step-by-step itinerary

Nashville honky tonk party bus tour

• Arrive at private honky tonk bar
• Enjoy music, food, and murals
• Board custom open-air party bus
• Dance on LED light-up floor
• Party with DJ and onboard bartender
• Take short break at Ole Smoky Distillery
• Enjoy Tennessee moonshine or local drinks

The experience

The bus itself is the venue. You board a custom-built open-air party bus with neon LED lights, a premium sound system and a dance floor lit up underfoot. The onboard DJ takes requests while your VIP host keeps the energy moving, takes photos and handles the bar. The tinted roof covers you if the sun gets too much or rain rolls in. For just over an hour and forty minutes, the bus rolls through downtown Nashville's Broadway corridor while you and up to 25 of your group dance, drink and move through the streets.

Before the bus rolls, you start at The Honky Tonk Hideaway, the private honky tonk bar where the tour loads. There's time for food, drinks from the on-site beer barn (icy cold beers, seltzers, locally made options), and a look at the Nashville murals. If you want to ride the mechanical bull before boarding, you can. Drinks are cash-and-carry at the bar before you step onto the bus. The operator does not allow outside alcohol, so plan your tab there.

Midway through the ride, the bus pulls into Ole Smoky Distillery, Nashville's only moonshine and brewery. You get an authentic Tennessee shot of moonshine, or you can swap it for one of their 15 locally brewed beers or locally made seltzers if that's more your speed. Then it's back on the bus for the rest of the party.
