Boomerang's St Patrick's Irish PubTour

What Is Not Included?

Meeting Location

What time does the Boomerang pick us up?

We are meeting at 2pm and we will board the Boomerang at 2:45pm. Exact meeting location details will be provided upon purchasing your tickets.

What time does the Boomerang drop everyone off?

We will drop all guests off at or just before 7pm. We will return to the Farragut North & Farragurt South Metros so guests can return to their final destinations safely.

If the tour is sold out, is there a waiting list?

No, Boomerang does not keep a waiting list for our tours. Tours do sell out, and often well in advance, so please make sure to purchase your tickets far in advance, especially if you have limited time availability.

If Boomerang is running more than one bus when I want to go, how can I make sure I'll be on the same bus with my friends?

If you are signing up with friends, we ask you to provide the approximate number of people you expect to sign up, and the name of the group "organizer," when you purchase your ticket(s). By providing this information, we will be able to assign you to the same bus as the rest of your group. Please keep in mind, however, that providing this information does not "reserve" your friend's space - we only ask for these details so that we can keep groups of friends together, and plan accordingly. Your friends' space is in no way reserved or guaranteed until they purchase their own tickets, and tours usually sells out quickly, so please tell them to book as soon as they can!

Who will be on board during the tour?

On every trip there will be three employees of Boomerang Tours. There will be a licensed and experienced driver as well as two fun and outrageous party directors. Their job is to entertain you on and off the bus so that you have a great experience!

Will I be able to eat lunch or dinner on the tour?

Yes! Irish Pubs have great food, so you can eat at any of our stops.

Do I have to be over 21 years old?

Riders on the Boomerang must be 21 years of age or older AND have a government-issued, valid ID available (US or International drivers' licenses, passports, or other government issued ID).

How much money should I bring?

This depends on how much you plan on eating and drinking!

Can I leave my belongings on the bus?

Our driver stays on board the bus the entire trip to watch over everything to make sure nothing happens while you are having fun. However, he cannot remember which individuals go with which belongings, so please exercise care when deciding what to leave on board. Boomerang Tours is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

How long are we on the bus?

We will be on board about 15 minutes between pubs.

Do I need to tip the driver and party directors?

We do not require you to pay gratuity but these individuals are working for you. If you feel they have done a good job then please be kind and tip them just as you would your bartender or waiter. They work very hard to make sure you have a great experience.

What if someone gets out of hand?

Well, let's hope everyone has a good time responsibly, but if someone becomes unruly or harmful in any manner to themselves, our guests, or our employees, we reserve the right to remove them or not allow them onto the bus. This rarely happens, but we will not hesitate to keep you safe and ensure your enjoyment.

What about drinking and driving?

One of the reasons we created Boomerang Tours was to provide a safe way for you to enjoy DC's nightlife without having to drive. Please help us by a) using the Metro, b) always using a designated driver, and c) being responsible with your drinking. Your safety and enjoyment are important to us.

Is the Boomerang heated and air conditioned?

The Boomerang is heated in the colder months. It is not air conditioned, but our windows provide a great cool breeze!

Is the Boomerang wheel chair accessible?

The Boomerang is not wheel chair accessible at this time, but we will try to make any accommodations to help a rider on the bus.

Are there bathrooms on the Boomerang?

There are no bathrooms on the Boomerang. We never have had a problem because you are on the bus no longer than 15 minutes at a time barring traffic. Our party directors will remind everyone before they leave each pub to use bathroom if needed before boarding.
