Nashville’s Speakeasy Secrets: Murder True Crime Cocktail Crawl

2.Nashville’s Speakeasy Secrets: Murder True Crime Cocktail Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 433 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $49

Spend two hours walking from Printers Alley to downtown bars while guides such as Ryan, Ryne, Max, and Reece share Prohibition stories, murders, and Nashville scandals. You visit three drink spots, but pay separately for every cocktail. Business casual dress, a government ID, and comfortable shoes are required. A VIP upgrade adds a secret location and password.

“We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The speakeasies were unique and got better and better as the tour progressed. The drinks were fantastic. Our guide, Ryne, is an excellent storyteller. We were paired with a couple especially rowdy groups who showed up to the tour drunk, and he dismissed them pretty quickly and with no drama so that the rest of us who paid to hear the stories could enjoy the tour. He handled that tricky situation extremely well. I also would highly recommend the VIP tour if you are willing to spend the extra money! The final stop was excellent and probably our favorite on the tour.”

Ariel was a great guide who shared some knowledge and was very personable. It was also pretty fun checking places out in a group and meeting new people. Lots of interesting/fun drinks at the various bars. They rotate venues depending on availability for the evening, and some are a little less "speak-easy-ish" than you might expect, but it was still a lot of fun regardless.”
