Party Bus Arlington TX

Arlington Party Bus Rental — Your Complete Guide

Arlington sits right in the sweet spot of the DFW Metroplex — just 20 miles from downtown Dallas and 15 miles from Fort Worth — and it packs more stadium-sized entertainment into a single corridor than almost any city in America. AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys, capacity 80,000+), Globe Life Field (home of the Texas Rangers), Texas Live!, Six Flags Over Texas, and Hurricane Harbor are all within a few miles of each other along the Entertainment District. On game days and concert nights, this stretch becomes one of the most congested — and most expensive to park in — areas in the entire state.

That is precisely why a party bus is the smartest way to get to Arlington. Stadium parking at AT&T Stadium regularly runs $75 or more, traffic can back up for miles on Division Street and Collins Street, and rideshare surge pricing after a Cowboys game can hit 4–5× normal rates. A party bus eliminates all three problems at once: your group rides together, your driver handles the traffic, and you pay one flat rate regardless of demand. It is not just a ride — it is a tailgate on wheels.

Top Arlington Destinations for Party Bus Groups

Arlington's Entertainment District is the main draw, but the city has more to offer than most people realize:

• AT&T Stadium — 80,000 seats expandable to over 100,000 for concerts and special events. Beyond Cowboys games, it hosts the Cotton Bowl, college football playoffs, major concerts (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé), and WWE WrestleMania. Our buses drop at designated commercial vehicle zones within walking distance of all gates.
• Globe Life Field — The Rangers' retractable-roof ballpark keeps you comfortable even in August. With 40,000+ seats and a lively exterior plaza, it is perfect for group outings from April through October.
• Texas Live! — A 200,000-square-foot dining and entertainment complex between the two stadiums. PBR Texas (mechanical bull riding), Troy's (Troy Aikman's sports bar), and Live! Arena make it a destination even on non-game days.
• Six Flags Over Texas — The original Six Flags theme park. Group outings, corporate picnics, and end-of-year school celebrations are popular party bus itineraries from spring through fall.
• Esports Stadium Arlington — The largest dedicated esports facility in North America, hosting tournaments and live-streamed events year-round.
• Arlington Highlands — A lifestyle center with dining, movies, and shopping on the east side of the city, popular for pre-game dinners.

Best Party Bus Routes to Arlington

Arlington is centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth, making it accessible from anywhere in the Metroplex:

• Dallas → Arlington: 25–35 minutes via I-30 West. Our most-booked route on Cowboys game days and concert nights. We depart from Uptown, Deep Ellum, and downtown Dallas hotels.
• Fort Worth → Arlington: 15–20 minutes via I-30 East. The shortest stadium route in the Metroplex — Fort Worth groups can leave later and arrive earlier.
• Plano / Frisco → Arlington: 40–55 minutes via the Dallas North Tollway to I-30. Popular for corporate groups headquartered in the northern suburbs.
• Denton → Arlington: 50–65 minutes via I-35W South. College groups from UNT and TWU frequently book buses for game-day trips.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Arlington Event

• Tailgate groups (15–30): A party bus doubles as your mobile tailgate — TVs, speakers, cooler space, and room to celebrate before and after the game.
• Corporate suites (6–14): A limousine delivers the executive experience your clients expect.
• Full departments (31–56): A coach bus gets everyone there together, with onboard restrooms for the return trip.

Use our Group Size Planner to match your group to the right vehicle.

Planning Tips for Arlington Party Bus Trips

• Depart early on game days. For a 3:25 PM Cowboys kickoff, we recommend a noon departure from Dallas to allow time for the ride and pre-game tailgating. Our drivers know the optimal approach routes to avoid the worst congestion on Division Street.
• Skip the $75+ parking. AT&T Stadium parking lots charge premium prices, especially for playoff games and concerts. Your party bus fare replaces that cost entirely — and you get a better experience.
• BYOB is welcome. Load the cooler with beer, seltzers, and snacks for the ride. Many groups tailgate directly at the bus before walking to the stadium.
• Plan your post-event departure. After a Cowboys game, traffic can take 60–90 minutes to clear. Our drivers stage in pre-arranged lots and coordinate pickup via text so you are not standing in a parking lot waiting.
• Combine with another destination. Arlington → Fort Worth Stockyards or Arlington → Dallas Deep Ellum are popular post-game add-ons.

Where to Eat Before Your Arlington Party Bus

Arlington sits right between Dallas and Fort Worth, and its dining scene punches well above its weight — especially around the entertainment district. Texas Live! is the ultimate pre-game destination with multiple restaurants under one roof, including Troy's (Troy Aikman's sports bar), PBR Texas for mechanical bull riding and cold beers, and Boomerjack's for wings and burgers. It's walking distance from both AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, making it the natural staging area before a party bus picks you up.

For something with more local flavor, Humperdink's on I-20 has been an Arlington staple for decades — their brewery on-site and massive menu work great for groups. J. Gilligan's Bar & Grill near UTA campus is famous for its Irish nachos and cheap pitchers, a perfect pre-party spot for younger crowds. If your group wants authentic Tex-Mex, Cacharel at the Brookhollow Tower offers fine dining with skyline views, while Babe's Chicken Dinner House serves family-style fried chicken with endless sides.

• Game day groups: Texas Live! — eat, drink, and walk to the stadium before your party bus picks you up after
• Casual groups: Humperdink's or J. Gilligan's — budget-friendly and group-ready
• Special occasions: Cacharel for rooftop-level views over Arlington

Arlington Nightlife & Bar Scene

Arlington's nightlife revolves around the Entertainment District and Texas Live!, which transforms into a high-energy nightlife destination after games. PBR Texas cranks up the country music and bull riding, while Live! Arena hosts concerts and DJ events that keep the party going past midnight. Beyond Texas Live!, Grease Monkey Bar & Grill on Division Street is a local dive with pool tables, cheap drinks, and live music on weekends.

The UTA (University of Texas at Arlington) area along Cooper Street has a cluster of bars and hookah lounges catering to the college crowd. Caves Lounge and The Grotto offer late-night vibes with DJs spinning on weekends. For a more refined evening, Arlington Highlands has wine bars and upscale pubs like BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. While Arlington's bar scene is more compact than Dallas or Fort Worth, the beauty of booking a party bus is that you can start here and hop to Deep Ellum (25 minutes) or the Stockyards (20 minutes) without anyone driving.

Insider Tips from Our Arlington Drivers

• Game day pickup: Have your party bus meet you at the Arlington Convention Center lot or Texas Live! — trying to get a bus close to AT&T Stadium post-game is gridlock for 45 minutes.
• Avoid Division Street between Cooper and Collins on game days — it's bumper to bumper. Your driver knows the back routes through Lamar and Abram.
• Tailgate timing: For Cowboys games, arrive 3 hours early. For Rangers, 2 hours is plenty.
• Hidden gem: River Legacy Park is a gorgeous pre-party photo spot — wooded trails and a science center right off Green Oaks Blvd.
• Post-event escape route: After concerts at Globe Life, heading east on I-30 clears out faster than going north on Highway 360.
