Welcome to the HandleBar Toledo Holiday Trolley Information Page! 

The HandleBar Toledo Holiday Trolley is a Pop-Up Concept offering seats on a 2 hour trolley tour of downtown Toledo and surrounding area holiday lights (with a few bar and photo stops mixed in) on weekends during the holiday season in 2021.  Each trolley can hold up to 26 riders!

Deets about the Holiday Trolley Tour:

Bring your closest friends and family and join us on an old town festive trolley, decked out with holiday decor and spirit!  The tour itself lasts about 2 hours and includes stops at a few festive bars (bar stops to be announced later), and a stops at Promenade Park and Hensville in downtown Toledo to see the lights, tree, and grab some pics!

Your friendly Bar Handlers from The HandleBar Toledo will once again be leading the party, taking photos for you, and providing the HOLIDAY JAMS (we have a holiday trolley playlist you won’t want to miss) so all you have to do is show up in your party pants and favorite holiday sweater or costume, ready to enjoy the holiday fun with your family and friends.  As a bonus, Santa and his friends dropped us off some gifts that will be awarded to the most festive rider on each trolley!

Pricing:  $34.99 per seat.  There are 26 seats on each trolley.  Tickets are sold on a per seat basis.  Real time availability can be viewed by clicking book now at handlebartoledo.com/booktour/ (once the listing GOES LIVE)

Start Location (IMPORTANT – NOT AT THE HANDLEBAR GARAGE):  The trolley starts and stops each tour at the Attic on Adams (1701 Adams St).  Ample parking available.  Please arrive at least 30 minutes early – the Trolley will be leaving AT the start time booked.  You will check in with us INSIDE the bar, at the top of the stairs (you won’t be able to miss us 🙂 ).

Drinks Policy:  All trolley riders must be 21 years of age or older.  Limited BYOB (no glass containers, no hard liquor) is allowed as long as the following BYOB rules are followed:

  1. No bringing drinks or coolers into any bar – no exceptions.  The bars are welcoming us with open arms, let’s keep it that way.  Drinks and coolers are allowed ON THE TROLLEY ONLY.
  2. Some of our stops will be in outdoor container (DORA) districts.  In the case where we are in a DORA district, you may purchase a drink at the bar, and bring your drink back from the bar to the trolley in a designated plastic container.  Our tour guides will make sure the policy is clear depending on the location of the stop.
  3. No glass containers and no hard liquor allowed on board the trolley.
  4. We will be making bar stops, and the bars will be decked out with holiday fun and will be offering drink specials themselves.  Please do not bring more than 3 drinks per person for this reason, and consider grabbing a drink at each bar to help support an industry that has had a challenging few years.
