“Fun, met great people from all over the world and the bars and pubs were nice”
Walk through Midtown with an English-speaking guide such as Ariel, Ryan, Katie, or Katherine, visiting three very different historic bars and cocktail lounges. You’ll hear about gangsters, bootleggers, Gilded Age reformers, and Prohibition’s collapse. Entry is covered, but drinks cost extra.
“Cannot recommend this enough for visitors or hosts giving visitors a great time. Fantastic experience, great guide, it is a 100% must and you cannot beat the price!”

The guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting historical facts with us. She was easy to find and we started on time . Which I also really liked about the evening.”
Follow guides such as Max, Ryne, Ryan, and Reece through three downtown Nashville bars and lounges while hearing Prohibition tales, murders, and gangster lore. The $49.95 fee covers the guided crawl and entry, not drinks. A VIP upgrade adds a secret stop and password.
“Definitely something fun to do on your visit to Nashville. Easy going tour of some local historic moments that shaped today.”
Join Alex, Lily, Lyonel, Darius, or another multilingual guide at 6 pm for a small-group walk through Lower Manhattan’s hard-to-find bars. Expect Prohibition stories, reserved entry, unusual entrances, and cocktails purchased separately.
“We were excited about this adventure but were disappointed. The tour only goes to one actual speakeasy. The other two places are interesting bars but nothing special. In fact, the tongue made it clear before going to the last stop that he wasn’t staying. No one in our group stayed.”
Spend an evening with local guides such as Dao or Singye, moving from Hemingway’s and a Thai Yadong bar to Above Eleven, a fridge-door speakeasy, and Levels Sky Club. You get welcome drinks, free shots, reserved tables, skip-the-line entry, and plenty of help meeting people.
“Amazing pub crawl! Well organized, great venues, and lots of fun. Dao was an outstanding guide — friendly, energetic and made the night unforgettable. Highly recommended!”
Walk Midtown with a local guide such as Ryan, Emily, Kate, or Tim, visiting three changing speakeasy-style bars and a beer garden. Hear Prohibition and immigration stories, enjoy express entry, and budget about $20 per drink. Groups are capped at 10 per booking.
“We enjoyed this experience but I can’t say it wasn’t an amazing one. Our guide was great fun, very personable and social but there wasn’t very much information or history on this tour. A lot of the time you are just left to socialise with other members of the tour and if you have a group that doesn’t gel it can be pretty awkward. The three locations we visited were pretty mediocre. The last one had the very worst drink we have ever had, which we found hilarious. Overall, if you have nothing to do in the evening it is something you might enjoy and meet some interesting people.”
Join a small, English-language walking tour through downtown Charleston, led by guides such as Jamie, Josh, Dawn, or Alex. Hear wild Prohibition stories, visit several cocktail bars, and learn how the city’s past shaped its nightlife. Bring ID, wear comfortable shoes, and budget extra for drinks.

Two very bright ladies made us feel welcomed and overall grateful for the time to take us through a tasting experience of the best local vodkas. 10/10 would recommend. I wish my polish was as good as their English. Thank you!🙏”
