Celebrate the Holidays with a BYOB Trolley Ride Through St. Louis!
There’s no better way to experience the magic of the season than with a festive BYOB trolley ride through St. Louis’s most dazzling holiday sights and displays!
Your evening begins at Pat Connolly’s Tavern (6400 Oakland Ave)—the oldest Irish bar in St. Louis—where you’ll check in, meet your tour guide, and enjoy a complimentary snack while soaking in the warm, holiday atmosphere.
Once aboard the vintage trolley, the adventure begins! We’ll set off on a 3-hour journey to explore some of STL’s most iconic holiday stops. Each tour may vary, but possible highlights include Winterfest at Kiener Plaza, Candy Cane Lane, Window Walk at Central West End, Tilles Park, festive neighborhood displays, and even a visit to a lively pop-up Christmas bar! Please note: stops are not guaranteed and may vary nightly based on traffic, timing, and availability.
Bring your favorite beverages for the ride—holiday music, lights, and plenty of cheer await. After the tour, we’ll return to Pat Connolly’s to toast to a night filled with sparkle and good vibes.
Reserve your seat today and make this holiday season in St. Louis one to remember!
