About This Experience

Nashville’s ORIGINAL Prohibition cocktail crawl explores jazz-era joints, hidden gem bars, and shocking-but-true stories from a sin-soaked past. Small groups, local experts, and pay-as-you-go drinks keep it fun and flexible.

Over roughly two hours, you’ll visit four carefully chosen venues in downtown Nashville, each selected for its Jazz Age character and connection to Prohibition. Expect a mix of insider, era-inspired joints and select speakeasy-style spots.

You'll drink in outrageous history as you sip and stroll. Enjoy true tales of bold flappers, crafty bootleggers, unexpected enforcers, and the clever workarounds that kept the spirits flowing.

Drinks are your choice and pay-as-you-go, so you're always in control. Groups are kept small, the walking is under a mile, and the pace is relaxed. Ideal for bachelorettes, birthdays, couples, and curious travelers who enjoy a different scene with style and substance.

Tour Itinerary

30 min

THE MEN’S QUARTER Nashville’s most notorious playground — where the booze poured freely, the dice and the patrons could both be loaded, and the cops on the beat knew the word on the street... and looked the other way! SMOKEY ROW Once a blurry-eyed haze of cigars, fallen souls, and back-room brawls — the air thick with mischief, moonshine, and whispers you didn’t dare repeat. THE INTERSECTION OF “SIN & SALVATION” Where the shadows of church steeples fell across gin joints and hooch houses, and bells mingled with the calls from “Cat Houses.” Proof this town’s halos and highballs have always shared the same streets. Walk these streets with us and you’ll begin to FEEL the echoes of the time — and maybe even the seductive pull a little sin can have for the saintly.

30 min

Dare to duck into Nashville’s most notorious back alley! Step into history (and maybe a little trouble) in the legendary Printer’s Alley — where the hooch flowed, the jazz jumped, and the coppers knew to mind their own business. By day, it was a hub for printing presses and bible-binding. But by night? A Prohibition playground for gangsters, politicians, and high-rollers slipping past the law for bootleg whiskey and hot music. Today, the shadows still hum with speakeasy-style bars, sultry blues clubs, and hidden nooks that keep its glamorous, slightly scandalous spirit alive. Walk here with us, and feel why Nashville’s legendary past — and its coolest locals — still choose this strip for nights a little edgier (and more historic) than Honky Tonk Row.
