A DESIGN LIKE NO OTHER
Elevate your shuttle or transportation experience with a one-of-a-kind Barrel Bus from The Barrel Run®! Our larger than life Barrel Bus was meticulously engineered to reflect the brewing and distilling processes with details such as copper handrails and lights, as well as the elegances and designs of the 1920’s prohibition era with Ford Model T headlights and a Speakeasy inspired clamshell door. The unique barrel shape of the bus allows for curved windows, which lets guests comfortably look up at the unique buildings and architectures that Chicago is famous for.
