Pray tell, what is this "Bus?"
BarFly Bus Mystery Bar Tours are decadent nights of pure fun! A typical tour will take you and 55 of your new best friends to eight to ten bars, clubs, lounges and dives, up, down, and all around our fair city. A top-secret meet-up spot is announced to ticket holders 24 hours prior to departure - what comes next will keep you guessing all night long. Rest assured, pick-up and drop-off is always at a convenient to public trans, centrally located, bar or club. We may take you to BFE, but we bring you back to civilization!
All cover charges are waived, complimentary hors d'oeuvres are served, and drink discounts abound! BarFly Bus tickets are $17.50-25 for most tours, and we offer discounts for groups of ten or more. You can also book the BarFly Bus for a private party, for any occasion. Give us a call or drop us an email for more info (bus [at] barflymag.com).
To be up to the BarFly Bus challenge, you must be ready, willing, and able to take responsibility for yourself, the drinks you ingest, and the effects they may have upon you. Furthermore, you must pinkie swear that a cab driver or other sober individual will take your extra-fun self home at the end of the festivities. Pukers and other lightweights are discouraged from participating. You must be at least 23, and have your valid ID (Oregon State ID or Driver's License, other US Driver's License, or Passport) with you. Sorry, under 23 need not apply!
BarFly Mystery Bar Bus Tours will depart at least once a month. Book your seats now - they usually sell out, and sell out fast! Holiday runs, like Halloween, New Year's Eve, and Saint Patrick's Day, usually sell out weeks in advance. Discounts are available for groups of ten or more. If you have a birthday, a bachelor or bachelorette party, anniversary, work party, or anything to celebrate - the BarFly Bus is a great choice, with something for everybody in your group! It's also a great way to meet people and make new friends - folks fly solo on the BarFly Bus all the time.
