Looking to enjoy drinks with friends but tired of loud, dimly lit bars? The Pedal Pub takes social drinking “in an entirely new direction—any direction.” Invented in the Netherlands, this human-powered party mobile transports up to 17 people, including the driver and someone manning the tap. The wooden barrel up front hides a keg, and an MP3-enabled audio system helps keep the party going. Even the driver gets a personal cup holder, so if you’re behind the wheel, “good luck not getting pulled over.”
