Restore Trolley Pub Austin After Disaster

Help Trolley Pub Austin Rebuild After Devastating Storm

On the evening of May 28th, 2025, a powerful storm swept through Austin and caused unimaginable damage to our small business. A massive tree was uprooted and fell directly onto all of our party bikes, completely destroying them and leaving Trolley Pub Austin inoperable overnight.

We are heartbroken.

As a result, we’ve had to cancel and refund all of our scheduled tours for the foreseeable future. These tours are the heart of our business — and the livelihood of our team. We now face significant and urgent costs to recover: the purchase of new party bikes, rent for our storage space, ongoing loan payments, and — most importantly — continued support for our employees as we work to rebuild from the ground up.

What Is Trolley Pub Austin?

For those who haven’t met us yet, Trolley Pub Austin is a beloved East Austin staple and the original pedal-powered party bike experience. Since our very first ride, we’ve helped thousands of people celebrate birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, team outings, and get-togethers. We’ve created unforgettable memories on the streets of our city we’re proud to be a small part of what makes Austin weird, welcoming, and truly one-of-a-kind.
