Trolley Pub

Do yourself a favor and ride on the Trolley Pub if you get a chance. It's so much fun going through the streets of Raleigh while drinking beers and stopping off at bars. The drivers are amazing and it's worth chatting with them if you get a minute while the trolley has stopped. We took two groups of people on two separate trolleys that went out at the same time. Racing each other was fun.

A few things: it's BYOB and you have to serve yourself. And you have to pay for your own beer if you stop off at bars. All worth it, though.

Overall, this is a great idea and fun for medium sized groups. Check it out!

This was wonderful!  It's a trolley that you literally pedal up and down the streets of Raleigh.  10 people pedal at a time and there are four seats at the back (one of the seats had pedals that didn't work).  It was hard work, and you will get sweaty.  Raleigh is surprisingly hilly.

We had 9-11 on a Friday night, and there wasn't much traffic.  The views were great - we saw the capitol building lit up, and got to explore the city (which was nice for a bunch of people who live in the Triangle but don't make it into Raleigh as often as we'd like).  You have the option to go into different bars or you can skip them and keep pedaling around.  It was such a nice night (about 75 degrees) that some of us chose to stay on the trolley instead of going into all of the bars (I think we stopped at 4)--after all, we had our own booze on board!  The driver was really nice and helpful in making suggestions.

I would definitely do it again, but in the daytime (especially in the spring or fall when it's less hot)!

What a trolley good time! I was in town a few weeks ago and my friend booked the Trolley Pub for a night. Talk about a blast!  The driver was great and it is an excellent way to see the city. I highly recommend this for anyone that lives in Raleigh or is in town visiting!
