| My family and friends rode the bus for my 30th birthday party and had a blast!!! The bars were great and the party planners really knew how to keep everyone together and made sure we all had fun. Thank you Boomerang for a wonderful birthday celebration!! We will definitely be back soon :) |

| This was my first time on the Boomerang bus and I had and awesome time. The spots we went to were great and the hosts kept the party going on the bus. I would def recommend it as a must do if you are a resident of DC...especially if you like to people watch :) |

| Beginning at Front Page in Arlington was fine, although Metro/bus delays led several members of our group to arrive just in time to check in and hop on the bus. For this reason, we were well behind in booze comsumtion compared to the other Boomerangers. At least it made for an interesting bus ride to our next location!
We definitely patrolled around and then circled Eye Bar before being dropped off. The music was entirely too loud to socialize with new people, leaving us mostly unaware of who else was enjoying the bus with us. This didn't change at our next stop (Ultra Bar) either, because everyone was well past small talk status by then.
When hopping aboard the bus before our last stop, I politely asked our driver about the location of Gin & Tonic. None of my crew had ever heard of it/been there before, and we learned the hard way why this was the case. When we were told it was in Georgetown, we assumed that meant we could trek to the Metro whenever we were ready to leave. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We found ourselves drunk, dazed, and confused in unknown territory referred to as Glover Park, not G'Town. Although I am very thankful for the service of my bus driver, he was not well versed in letting his riders know where he was taking us.
The end of the night cab ride, along with my ticket purchase and tabs from "ritzy" bars (the ones that charge upwards of $500 + required bottle purchases for their reserved tables), led to an expensive night out for this girl. I'm always in for a good time, but my budget right out of college does not allow for such spending.
I suggest avoiding the Eye, Ultra, Gin & Tonic line-up and informing the bus drivers as to whether or not each location allows for public transit within walking distance.
On the upside...props to my bus hosts for holding the bus a few extra minutes to allow a friend of mine to meet up with the group later in the evening. (Sorry I lied and said she was just around the corner!) |

| So basically, drinking on a bus with stripper poles is fun, so yall got that down. I think the choice of bars could be better. Not everyone is a club kid. |

| Boomerang bus is one of the funnest nights I've had in a long time, Nikki is great, it's great to go with a big group. The bus is a little ghetto but I think this enhances the experience, it was a good time, highly recommend you do it, and go to ultra bar. |

| This evening was complete insanity. But in a good way. Do not go on this bus if you don't like crowds, dancing, getting sweaty, and getting way to drunk to be socially acceptable. |

Super fun but expensive

| It was amazing and I'll definitely do it again. Party director Nikki was fantastic. It's just expensive to pay $32 and that not include any alcohol. Maybe they could give us all shots on the bus? |

Awesome!

| We had a pretty large group for a birthday. It was great not having to worry about cabs and lines and deciding where to go next. And being able to drink on the way to the bars was not only a blast but saved us some money :) |
