Bachelor & Bachelorette Party Bus Chicago
Chicago is a top-five bachelor and bachelorette destination in the Midwest. The 26-passenger party bus covers a smaller group. Party Bus 34 seats 34. Larger receptions use the motor coach or a second vehicle so nobody is left at the curb.
A bachelorette run is usually 4–5 hours, from $270/hr. River North for dinner and first drinks, Wicker Park for late-night bars, then back to the hotel. Bachelor groups tend toward a pregame leg, a sports bar, and a Wrigleyville finish. Royal Carriage builds the route.
All bachelor and bachelorette bookings include one point of contact from reservation to drop-off, a licensed chauffeur who knows the Chicago bar scene, and BYOB. The form prices extra stops before you pay.

Where Can a Party Bus Go in Chicago?
Don't know where to go? Here are four proven routes that work. Custom routes always available.
River North Bar Crawl
River North is Chicago's densest nightlife district. Park once, hop 5 venues, no Uber math between stops.
Sample stops
Wicker Park Night
Indie bars, craft beer, and late-night food. Wicker Park crowd is younger, louder, and the lines are shorter.
Sample stops
Craft Brewery Tour
Chicago has 90+ craft breweries. We map the best route so you hit 5 without doubling back.
Sample stops
Cubs / Sox Gameday
Group rates for game days. Drop-off and pickup at the stadium — no parking garage, no designated driver debate.

Popular Chicago Neighborhoods & Venues
Royal Carriage operates citywide. Here are the neighborhoods our party bus groups visit most — and why each one works.
River North
Chicago's densest bar district. Bottled Blonde, Studio Paris, Celeste, Three Dots and a Dash — five venues within four blocks. A party bus parks once while the group rotates.
Wicker Park
Indie bars, craft cocktails, and late-night bites. The Violet Hour, Emporium Arcade Bar, Piece Brewery. Shorter lines than River North on Saturdays.
Fulton Market
Chicago's fastest-growing entertainment strip. Randolph Street restaurants transition into cocktail bars after 10 PM. A favorite for corporate groups and birthday dinners.
Boystown / Northalsted
Halsted Street from Belmont to Addison. Chicago's LGBTQ+ entertainment hub — bachelorette groups book this route heavily April through September.
Wrigleyville
Game-day and post-game territory. Drop-off at Wrigley Field, pickup after the final out, then bar crawl along Clark Street. Our Cubs/Sox game-day package covers the full run.
Navy Pier & Lakefront
Scenic routes along Lake Shore Drive. Summer concert drop-offs, fireworks nights, and lakefront dinner reservations. Party Bus 34 seats a large event group.
