Looking for an epic night out in Austin, Texas? Kick things off with Austin Bar Bike, where our 15-seater electric party bikes deliver high-energy pub crawls for bachelorette parties, birthdays, corporate events, or just a wild night with friends. While our 2-hour-15-minute tours don’t stop at restaurants, we cruise the city’s hottest nightlife districts, putting you steps away from Austin’s Michelin-starred dining scene. After rocking out to our Rockford Fosgate speakers and soaking in the LED-lit vibes, head to one of these five culinary gems—LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue, Interstellar BBQ, Barley Swine, Craft Omakase, or Hestia—for a meal that elevates your Austin adventure. Here’s why these spots are perfect for post-bike dining, plus tips to make your night unforgettable!
Nestled at 5621 Emerald Forest Dr, LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue is a South Austin legend, earning a 2024 Michelin star for its innovative take on Texas BBQ. Forget standard brisket—this spot serves up smoked beef cheeks, flat iron slices, and inventive sides like kale Caesar slaw and citrus pork sausage. Their state-of-the-art facility, complete with outdoor seating, is a short drive from our Austin Bar Bike routes through downtown or Rainey Street. After your $350 group tour (or $35/seat), grab a Frito pie or their Friday-special beef cheeks for a smoky, satisfying end to your night. Insider tip: Pair your meal with a local craft beer from their curated selection, and check their Instagram for daily specials. Vibe: Casual, communal, perfect for groups. Distance from downtown: ~10-minute drive.
Tucked at 12233 Ranch Rd 620 N, Interstellar BBQ is a Michelin-starred haven for smoked meat enthusiasts. Their 2024 star celebrates peach tea-glazed pork belly, Akaushi brisket, and sides like smoked scalloped potatoes that steal the spotlight. While our party bike tours stick to central Austin’s bar scene, Interstellar’s North Austin location is worth the 20-minute ride post-crawl. After dancing through Sixth Street with our electric bike’s LED lights, treat your crew to their tender pork ribs or jalapeño popper sausage. Insider tip: Arrive early to avoid lines, and bring cash for their occasional pop-up specials. Vibe: Laid-back, picnic-style, great for BBQ purists. Distance from downtown: ~20-minute drive.

After your bike adventure, savor their 10-course menu or a la carte options like smoked duck breast.
