Join Alex on a NYC prohibition tour where we’ll skip the lines at some of New York's oldest pubs and taverns. We’ll look at America’s “Noble Experiment” from all angles, discussing topics like abolitionism, women’s suffrage, and the temperance movement. We’ll also examine 200 years of Progressivism in the United States, and debate which policies have landed on the right, and wrong side of history!
We’ll learn how each Saloon survived prohibition, while enjoying multiple beverages at each Tavern. The fee covers snacks and the first round at each stop, but there is no limit to the number of drinks the group orders. Classic American bar bites are also available at each tavern, with some food having historical connections to the Saloons themselves!
This experience includes a surprise ending, where we’ll imbibe the way so many politicians, artists, musicians, and writers did during prohibition. We’ll be served gin, bourbon, and bitters inside someone’s actual home!
Along the way you'll have plenty of time to ask questions and engage with Alex on any number of topics. Tours are casual, flexible, and fun, so bring your curiosity and an empty belly!
This tour is perfect for groups, networking events, corporate events, birthday parties, or anyone looking to experience NYC’s history in a unique way!

“We recently took the New York City Prohibition Tour and it was excellent. It was a private tour, but wasn't that expensive. Our guide Alex knew everything about the old Pubs, and gave us a ton of interesting information about the Prohibition era in the United States. We had a few drinks at each place, including the fantastic secret ending spot! Already planning another "food stroll" soon.” - Justin Madden, freelance video editor
"We had a great time with Alex - exploring the city, learning about local history, and enjoying food and drinks at NY institutions. It's always special to get a new perspective on the places and streets I've walked a hundred times. Alex comes armed with incredible anecdotes and is ready with answers to any questions you may have... highly recommend for visitors and New Yorkers alike.” - Meg Ryan, Head of Impact and Marketing for Sound Off Films
