Unmarked doors, secret rooms, and the whiskey that built Nashville's underground.

A guided evening through three of Nashville's most exclusive speakeasies, each hidden behind unmarked doors and stocked with signature cocktails and the true crime stories of Prohibition. You'll visit an old pharmacy, a private second-story lounge, and a speakeasy so unmarked that locals barely know it exists. A live English-speaking guide leads the crawl; minimum age is 21 with valid ID required. Alcoholic beverages are not included and are optional — you choose what to drink at each stop.

The Experience

This isn't a bar crawl through tourist strips. You're stepping behind doors most people in Nashville never find, into three speakeasies that operate by whisper and reputation. The first stop is an old pharmacy where you'll refill your "prescriptions" — a nod to how Prohibition-era establishments disguised themselves. The second is a private second-story lounge sponsored by Byron Cigars, stocked with a pre-selected menu of cigars, beers, wines, or specialty cocktails made exclusively for your group. The third is buried in old Nashville, unmarked and unsigned, the kind of place that doesn't advertise and doesn't want walk-ins. No signs. Just secrets.

Each venue carries the true crime stories soaked into Nashville's Prohibition past — the history that built these rooms and the people who kept them running. A live guide walks you through all three stops over the course of the evening, handling the route and the stories while you handle the drinking (or not — it's optional). The crawl operates rain or shine unless severe weather warnings are posted. Dress code is enforced: men need collared shirts and closed-toe shoes, no athletic wear or cargo shorts. The guide reserves the right to turn away anyone not dressed to code or too intoxicated to continue safely.

You'll need a valid government ID proving you're 21 or older — no exceptions, no refunds. Alcoholic beverages and tastings cost extra and are not included in the tour price; you order and pay for what you drink at each stop. A VIP upgrade option is available at checkout, which includes an escort to a secret location and a password for entry. If you need to reschedule within 24 hours of the tour time, a $100 rescheduling fee applies.
