New Orleans’ Irish Channel is a vibrant neighborhood steeped in history and known for its robust local drinking culture. Located at 3033 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans Pedal Barge offers a unique two-hour Irish Channel Pedal Pub-Crawl Tour that puts a fresh spin on bar-hopping by combining outdoor activity with an immersive taste of local craft beverages. This isn’t your typical pub crawl — guests pedal a custom-made Nola Bike Bar, a group pedal-powered vehicle, allowing up to 14 participants to move together between stops while enjoying the city breeze.
The route is curated to showcase a variety of establishments, from bustling breweries to intimate distilleries and classic dive bars. The tour starts at the neighborhood anchor, Nola Brewing, famed not only for its award-winning craft beers but also for its renowned pizza and lively concert venue. From there, riders venture to Port Orleans brewery, where Mexican-inspired bites from AVO and refreshing hard seltzers accompany a relaxed, game-filled patio atmosphere.
Next up is Nola Distillery, a craft producer specializing in New Orleans–inspired whiskey, vodka, and rum, offering a look into traditional distilling techniques with a modern twist. The Tchoup Yard serves as a perfect midway respite on its spacious patio with food trucks and cocktails that embody the city’s laid-back spirit. The ride can extend to Magazine Street’s beloved Bulldog bar and Tracey’s Irish pub for authentic po’boys and a wide selection of brews, while Miel Brewery provides inventive small-batch beers brewed with local ingredients like Louisiana honey.
New Orleans Pedal Barge’s Irish Channel tour stands out for its unique blend of light physical activity, rich local flavor, and social vibe.
