There is no better way to feel the pulse of Columbus than with a cold drink in hand, good company beside you, and the city rolling by at pedal-powered speed. The Trolley Pub ā one of the city’s most talked-about group experiences ā turns an ordinary evening into a rolling celebration through the streets of Ohio’s capital.
Rated an outstanding 4.9 out of 5 from more than 130 Viator reviews, āExplore Columbus on The Trolley Pubā is a guided pedal-tavern tour that lets you and your crew power the ride together while a certified driver steers. Think of it as part bar crawl, part sightseeing tour, and entirely unforgettable: you pedal, the city provides the backdrop, and the stops provide the refreshments.
What to expect
The trolley winds through some of Columbus’s most character-filled neighborhoods. Depending on the route, you may roll past the brick streets of German Village, the glowing arches of the Short North Arts District, or the riverfront energy of downtown ā all from the open-air deck of the trolley. Along the way, the group hops off at handpicked local bars and breweries, giving you a genuine taste of Columbus’s celebrated craft-drink scene.
No pedaling experience is needed ā the electric-assist motor helps on the hills, and the pace is pure fun. It is an ideal outing for birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, team outings, or simply a weekend with friends who want to see the city differently.
