About this tour
When Em from our team booked the GC Br Crawl, we figured a golf cart bar crawl through Charlotte's Uptown sounded like a solid night out. You pile into a novelty disco ball cart (fits five) and hit two to three bars in about 90 minutes, with the driver waiting outside while you drink. The gimmick is real — once parked, the cart doubles as a karaoke rig with mics and a speaker system. The route flexes based on who's riding and what you want. It's cheeky, compact, and built for groups keen on a few drinks and some badly sung Britney.
Highlights
- Novelty factor: disco ball golf cart genuinely turns heads around Uptown
- Built-in karaoke between bar stops — mics and speaker included
- Route customises on the fly based on your crew's vibe
- Compact five-person capacity keeps it intimate
- Driver waits outside — no time pressure at each bar
- Covered cart protects from Charlotte's rain and cold
- Flexible exit — ditch the driver anytime if it's not working
What to expect
You'll meet at a central point (they pick up some hotels for groups of four-plus) and climb into a golf cart that's genuinely a bit ridiculous — in the fun way. The driver navigates Uptown and parks you at two or three bars over about 90 minutes. At each stop, you've got 15–25 minutes to grab a drink and chat; the driver stays put with the cart. Between bars, that's when the karaoke fires up — you get mics and control the music. Em's take: it's more novelty than a proper crawl, but it works if your group is up for being a bit silly and vocal about it.
The cart's small and snug (fits five comfortably), and the ride's smooth enough. You're outside though, so if Charlotte's cold or damp, the cover helps but you're still exposed. The real appeal is the karaoke bit — it's the glue that makes the whole thing cohere. Peak fun hits when someone half-drunk belts a power ballad and you're all cracking up rolling down the street.

Good to know
This works brilliantly if you've got a tight crew (three to five mates) who don't mind being the centre of attention and aren't self-conscious about singing in public. The karaoke is genuinely fun, and the novelty cart draws smiles and photo ops. The flexible exit means if it's not clicking, you're not locked in. Uptown's compact enough that the two- to three-bar format feels manageable.
You bring your own booze — they supply nothing, so you're either pregaming or buying at bars (defeats the "crawl" vibe a bit). It's not wheelchair accessible. If you've got spinal issues or dodgy cardiovascular health, the ride isn't recommended. The five-person cap is tight if your group's bigger. Weather matters — it's outdoor, so allergies and temperature swings are real. Dogs and small children (under 8 or under 80 lbs) need booster seats or won't fit legally; service animals are allowed but large ones need a paid seat.
21+ only. Bring your own drinks and snacks. No food or drinks provided. Book via their website for pickup options beyond the standard location. Expect about 90 minutes total. Driver stays with the cart, so you're never rushed. Moderate fitness level needed; not ideal for anyone with back or heart concerns.
