“Keep Austin Weird.”
That’s Austin’s unofficial motto—and if you’re looking to throw an unforgettable bachelor party for your favorite groom, you’ve obviously come to the right city.
Austin has a vibrant nightlife, thrilling outdoor adventures, and delicious food. Combined with some hidden gems, it’s a perfect blend of activities for every type of groom-to-be.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the best possible ways to plan a bachelor party, so hold tight.
Plan Your Austin Bachelor Party Activities In Time
Bachelor parties are not just an all-day endeavor; in fact, the celebration spans throughout the weekend entire weekend, from that first bro-hug all the way to the last man crawling back to the airport.
Not only do you need to make sure to plan your activities in advance, your group needs to be on time and ensure prompt arrival to maximize the party.
Ensuring you have a perfect blend of daytime adventures and nighttime excitement (which also fit with your groom’s interests) is the key. Luckily, Austin has a plethora of stuff to do, from paddleboarding to pub crawling to Lake Travis to river floats to brew tours and beyond.
And on top of that, Fly-Rides can help you make the entire weekend perfect, by bridging your daytime and nighttime events with a perfectly affordable party and tour buses.
In the following section—we’ll provide some inspiration first.
Austin Bachelor Party Daytime Activities
Lake Adventures
Start your weekend with some fun on the water.
Lake Travis is a popular spot for bachelor parties, offering party barges equipped with water slides and double-decker boats.
Alternatively, head to Lake Austin for boating and jet skiing, perfect for groups looking to mix excitement with relaxation.
There’s also Lady Bird Lake—loved by paddleboarders, especially due to lack of any motorized boat traffic.
River Floats
If you’re up for a relaxing daytime activity, you can consider a river float down.
Austin and its surroundings provide a goldmine of picturesque waterways, which makes soaking up the Texas sun with your buddies a memorable experience.
If you’re up for it, consider renting tubes or kayaks on the likes of San Marcos or Guadalupe River—a perfect way to unwind and bond before hitting Austin’s vibrant nightlife scene.
As a bonus, we offer discounted tubes and line skips at Don’s Fish Camp and Texas State Tubes—allowing you to better maximize your bachelor party time and money.
Brewery and Distillery Tours
Austin is known for its craft beer scene.
Therefore, booking a brew tour during the day is a great way to sample local brews and spirits while enjoying the company of your best friends.
And great news—you don’t have to splash the cash on super expensive tours. Fly-Rides can take you at a fraction of the price.
BBQ and Brunch
If you have been to Austin and haven’t indulged in some Texas BBQ—were you actually in Austin at all?
Franklin Barbecue and Salt Lick BBQ are iconic spots that offer mouth-watering meats. For brunch, try Paperboy for its Southern-style dishes and lively atmosphere.
Outdoor Adventures
If your group has more of an adventurer spirit, the Barton Creek Greenbelt offers hiking trails, swimming holes, and rock climbing.
Zip-lining at Lake Travis Zipline Adventures or paintball at Stunt Ranch are other exciting options to get the adrenaline pumping before the dusk falls.
Austin Bachelor Party Evening Activities
Live Music and Nightlife
Austin’s nightlife is legendary. We mean it.
You can start your evening on Sixth Street, known for its wide range of bars and live music venues.
The Continental Club on South Congress is an iconic spot for live music. For a unique experience, check out the Museum of the Weird or enjoy a movie night at the Deep Eddy Pool. All well-known, tried, and tested experiences.
Bar Hopping, Pub Crawling, and Club Diving
For a night of bar hopping, explore the different districts like Rainey Street, West Sixth, and East Sixth.
Kung Fu Saloon is a fun place to start with its old-school arcade games and great drinks. Later, head to clubs like Lit Lounge for dancing and bottle service, for instance.
But remember, these are only some suggestions. At Fly-Rides, we can give you comprehensive bar hopping recommendations, and what’s better—take you there!
Unique Night Experiences
If the groom has a delicate taste, consider adding some unique touches to your night out.
Arrange a surprise-like dining experience at a rooftop restaurant, or a live performance from a band the groom really likes. Of course, that might cost a pretty penny.
As a more affordable alternative, you can hire a party bus to keep an energy high while traveling between spots. If that’s something you’d consider, Fly-Rides is at your service.
Thinking About Accommodation and Logistics
If you’re not from Austin, you should think about where your group will stay. Choose a centrally-located place to make the most out of your trips.
Vacation rentals can offer a more personal experience, while hotels will keep you close to the action. Look for group discounts and package deals to get the best value.
Second, think about transportation. You can get around downtown Austin easily by car, but you might want to make yourself comfortable by renting a ride that will take you outside of the city.
For instance, renting a party bus won’t only make the entire thing stress-free, but you’ll be able to keep the party going between the gigs.
