Take a tipsy journey through the spirit trails of New York's underground watering holes. Your journey will feel like a discovery of hidden escapes from the hustle and bustle of Midtown's tourism hub. Sure to be guided by one of the most exciting tour guides, you'll be captivated by the rich history that has inspired your evening's libations. Walk with us as we retrace the immigrant progress toward the American Dream during Prohibition. We will guide you into one of New York's most iconic speakeasies and tell the tale of the period’s most notorious gangsters and infamous bootleggers. At our second location, we’ll explore the catalysts behind Prohibition and focus on the women of the Gilded Age, and the movement that gave rise to an oil king. To round off our journey together, we’ll take you to one of New York's most unique bars where we’ll discuss the sudden demise of Prohibition.

Arielle was a great guide. She knew her history and was very dynamic. The bars chosen were outstanding in both drinks and service. Strongly recommend this tour.

As frequent visitors to NYC, we are always on the hunt for new and different experiences. This tour definitely fit the bill. The 3 speakeasies we visited were all unique and super cool in their own right. The drinks were delicious, the ambiance was fun, and the history was interesting. But, by far, the absolute best part of the tour was our guide, Ariel. She was funny, knowledgeable, gave great drinks recs, and even managed to keep our tour group of 15 together through a packed Times Square during the holiday season...a true feat. We highly highly recommend this tour. Both for first time visitors to the City and seasoned travelers. We can't wait to bring our friends back to the spots Ariel highlighted.

Not great to be honest, had to buy expensive drinks in all 3 bars. Not what we expected and wouldn’t recommend

Really disappointed in this tour. We were first taken to a bar near the start point which was just like any other bar, not a speakeasy at all. We then went to a restaurant (!), Lillies, and were told that although we had a reserved table, there weren’t enough spaces and so some of us would have to stand. We were given a nonsense explanation that it qualified as a speakeasy as it was “hiding in plain sight” and did “mixology” - utter rubbish. Apparently people think it’s Christmas shop and that’s why it’s “hiding in plain sight” - anyone who thinks it’s a Christmas shop needs their eyes checking. We did finally go to an original speakeasy at the end of the “tour” but half the group had left by that point, fed up. A particular highlight was when we were walking past studio 54 and were told that it was a classic original speakeasy…and then walked away from it. A waste of time and opportunity in a great city with lots of actual speakeasy’s.
