The bars we went to were extremely over-crowded and did not play a variety of music types. 2 bars would not let us in because they were to capacity and it took a lot of time from the night trying to find places to go to because we would get off the bus and then be forced to get right back on. We waited for every at the initial pick up place while the other buses left way before our bus even got the night started. The host was pretty good; however, and tried to keep everyone happy and excited. Excellent bus driver as well! |

The bus was very fun and exciting, and I thoroughly enjoyed the clubs that were chosen. The only issue I have is with the meeting place of the boomerang bus, the 19th street bar/restaurant. My group and I decided to eat dinner there before the bus showed up because we thought it might be more convenient since we were already there. We arrived at 6:30 PM and ordered around 6:45 and did not get served our food until around 8:00-8:15 PM, and seeing as how the bus said it was leaving at 9:15 PM my group and I had to eat and pay the bill in a short amount of time. I think that it was ridiculous that we arrived so early, but still felt like we might be late because I did not finish paying for dinner till around 9:00 due to the extremely slow service of this restaurant. |

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Boomerang Bus! It was nice to be able to go to multiple bars/clubs in the area and not have to drive. All three places we stopped were nice and we stayed for just the right amount of time; not too long and not too short. It was great to be able to skip the lines at all the clubs and it was convenient that we were able to leave all of our belongings on the bus without something coming up missing! I found the price very reasonable for what you're getting and i definitely plan on riding the Boomerang Bus again. Next time I will make sure to wear more comfortable shoes because the ones I had on were not appropriate for all of the walking. I had a great time and it was a great way to end my sisters birthday weekend! Thanks! |

Night out with the Bachlorette

I've done the party bus several times before. Seemed as though it was a popular night in the city, therefore causing us to revamp our itinerary on several occasions. Several venue's were very crowded and full to capacity. When we finally arrived to places it made it hard to enjoy ourselves due to the increased crowd and the disorganization. I believe better planning on this trip could have aided in a better experience that I've had in the past. |

21st Birthday Celebrated in Style! BEST NIGHT EVER
|
|||||
| Sat, Sep 24, 11 9:00 PM | marcana14 | Unspecified | 20-29 | Local | Group of Friends | |
My best friend had so much fun she made up a new verb: "Boomerangin".
I went for me and my best friend's 21st birthday along with 10 other girls (12 total) and had an absolutely amazing time. Unforgettable. There were a few hiccups but overall it was great.
Let me take you through the day sequentially :)
Meeting Spot: Check in Bar, 19th Bar:
We decided to just go ahead and eat dinner at the check-in bar since they had a pretty decent menu for a bar. We got there around 6:30. We didn't get our food until like 7:45 (all we ordered were sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fries). When we got our food they messed up two orders and completely forgot to give us fries! My waitress refused to get me a wine list so I had to walk up to the bar to get my drink while everyone else got their drink brought out to them. Terrible Service.
Bottom line: Don't go to eat at the 19th bar, only come for check-in, I learned my lesson.
Now onto the fun!
We boarded the bus around 9:15/9:20pm, and were on a bus with another birthday party, bachelorette party, and bachelor party so it was definitely a good time! People were dancing drinking on the bus. We all brought alcohol with us so we drank a little on the bus, and bought some drinks at the clubs/bars.
First Stop: UltraBar
We had a lot of fun there got some free drinks, did some dancing, nice cool spot
Second Stop: Dirty Bar
I had the most fun here! Great drinks, a cage for dancing ;) a swing to sit on and take pictures of too. The guys were really nice and let us sit in the VIP area for a few minutes since our feet hurt so that was good. The bar was a tad small but the music and dancing was great!
P.S. but the second bar most of our heels just gave out on us, we couldn't walk in them anymore and changed to flip-flops/flats.
Recommendation: Don't wear heels!! Even girls who are more "experienced" in wearing them couldn't take it anymore.
Also the bus was late coming to pick us up from Dirty bar by about 10/15 minutes so that just added to our feet hurting.
Third Stop Muse:
Muse was cool, upstairs and downstairs good music and dancing. By this point me and my friends stayed for about 20/30 min then went outside for some air, we were wore out at this point!! --1:30am. The 9pm-2am timeline really is a lot!!
Overall: Amazing Amazing time. Don't eat at 19th bar, wear heels and you'll be fine! Also anything you bring on the boomerang bus COULD possibly be stolen and there were a few close calls so don't leave any valuables on the bus. Leave your liquor there and that's it.
We definitely plan to go back soon. Couldn't have celebrated my 21st any better! The price was amazing for 3 bars and a safe ride to them! THANKS BOOMERANG :) |

Overcrowded

The bus was completely full and there was no order to where people sat. Groups who arrived earliest settled in to the middle of the bus and began drinking immediately. They were unwilling to move and this forced the remaining groups to split up into the individual remaining seats. I couldn't sit with anyone from my party and had to sit next to a rowdy girl from a bachelorette party.
In addition, the bachelorette party were constantly switching seats throughout the ride and drinking. One girl split some champagne on my arm and just laughed at her clumsiness. I didn't want to make matters worse, so I just ignored it and let it dry. Also, the bachelorette party had a large cooler that blocked all access to the rear of the bus and the bathroom. Some people tried to walk over it during the ride out, but I didn't want to risk climbing while on a moving vehicle. While we boarded the bus for the ride back to DC, someone tried to confront the bachelorette party about moving the cooler, and one of the girls started to get physical. It was diffused by a male with the bachelorette party. Their whole party was embarrassingly drunk throughout the entire ride.
There was no order on the bus and everyone was crowded so close together. If there had been ample space, this obnoxious group wouldn't have been a problem, because they could have been by themselves, but instead, everyone had to deal with them, because they had taken seats wherever they wanted and they couldn't be persuaded to compromise. |

Too expensive; not enough details

When I paid the $37 online fee I was under the impression that that fee included at least one wine tasting. When I arrived at check-in, I was very VERY surprised to be asked for $20 additional dollars for the wine tastings. Our guide was very nice and allowed me to pay solely $10 for ONE wine tasting at one vineyard. When we arrived at the vineyard, the menu stated the wine tasting price of $5. This made me upset. It confirmed that this event was way over priced. I paid $37 for a round trip bus ride, where I've paid $20 round trip to travel to NYC. Then, I paid double for one wine tasting, where the wine tasting was only $5. I made the best of the situation but I will not recommend this event to my friends and family. I was ill-informed. |

Our group had a great time on Saturday! It was so nice to have them plan the day so that we didn't have to do any of the planning. Everything was exactly as we expected! The only suggestion I would make is not to return to the second vineyard - the wine was just not good, it was infested with stink bugs, and they ran out of sangria (which we all thought was the only thing drinkable). |

Great way for the bride-to-be to spend her last Friday before her "life sentence" to a GREAT guy. An AWESOME party bus, with lots of fun, great music, fantastice people and unexpected hot spots! We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were so tired afteerwards. The "hype-staff" really kept us in the party mode and made the experience all the more worth while, THANK YOU!!! |
