Post-Reception Party Bus Bar Crawl!

At last, our third favorite way to execute a Post-Reception Bar Crawl is by Party Bus! If you happened to miss it, we discussed walking bar crawls in our Spring 2017 issue of New Orleans Wedding Magazine (check out our virtual edition) and, just last week, we posted our guide to bar crawling via the St. Charles Streetcar, which you can check out here – totally worth checking out if you missed them!

Now, we’d like to highlight the many perks to bar hopping around the Central Business District (CBD) via Party Bus.

First, and likely the most obvious, you never have to sacrifice fun (or your beverage) when traveling from spot to spot on a party bus. In fact, the party bus will likely take your party vibes to the next level! Second, it’s a much more expedient form of travel. And, third, if some of your guests aren’t in the mood to bar-hop, they can just stay on the bus and continue the fun until your other guests are ready to try out the next spot – it’s a win-win for everyone!

Essentially, the perks to traveling via party bus are quite obvious. But, the reason we chose a party bus as the best means of travel around the CBD, is because all of the bars are scattered at random – unlike Bourbon St., Frenchman St. or St. Charles Avenue not all of the bars can be as obviously spotted as they are not conveniently located along the same street. Therefore, traveling around the CBD via party bus is just easier on your guests.

Here is a list of our favorite bars in the CBD:
