About the Ale & Alibis Pub Crawl

Austin’s craft beer scene is famously friendly. Its past? Not always. The Ale & Alibis Pub Crawl brings the two together: a true-crime crawl through downtown Austin’s craft beer establishments, where every round comes with a story.

Meet at The Westin Austin Downtown at 8 PM, then hop between four or five craft-brew spots and lively bars. Order a locally brewed pint (or whatever you’re in the mood for) at each stop while your guide shares Austin’s true-crime tales and local legends — and maybe a few alibis you’ll need for the morning after.

It’s a social, easygoing night of good beer and dark stories: great for true-crime fans, craft-beer lovers, a date night with a twist or a group of friends who want more than a bar hop.

What to expect

  • True-crime stories from Austin’s past, told at every stop
  • Visit 4–5 craft beer spots and bars downtown
  • Order locally brewed craft beer — or whatever you like
  • Local legends and a few alibis for the morning after

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are drinks included?

No — drinks aren’t included in the $34.99 ticket. You order and pay for your own at each bar, so you drink exactly what you like, as much or as little as you like. Your ticket covers your guide, the route and the stories.

Can people under 21 attend?

No. This is a pub crawl, so every guest must be 21 or older, and we check IDs. If someone in your group is under 21, the Austin Food Tour welcomes guests ages 12 and up.

Which bars do we visit?

We can’t give away all of our secrets just yet! The crawl visits 4–5 locations. We don’t guarantee specific locations, because we sometimes have to change a stop at the last minute for reasons beyond our control.

How big are the groups?

Small. Pub crawls are limited to 20 guests, so there’s room to chat with your guide and get to know the group.

Can we book a private tour?

Yes. Any of our tours can be made private: the whole tour for just your group, with your own guide and no public guests. We can personalize it — including different starting and ending locations and non-standard start times. Group size follows the tour’s usual capacity. Contact us for a custom quote; private tours are booked with 50% down, with the remaining 50% due 14 days before your tour. All sales on private tours are final. If your plans change after booking, we’ll apply what you’ve paid as a credit toward a tour in any of our cities.

How much walking is involved?

Every Revelry tour involves about three-quarters of a mile of walking in total, spread across the walks between stops. Wear comfortable shoes. If you have questions about mobility or access, call us at 855-938-2211 before you book and we’ll talk you through the route.

What happens if it rains?

Tours run rain or shine — almost the entire experience takes place indoors. If rain is in the forecast, bring an umbrella for the walks between stops.

What if the weather is too bad to run the tour?

If the weather keeps us from running your tour, you can reschedule. If rescheduling doesn’t work for you, you’ll receive a full refund.

Can I reschedule?

All sales are final, but you can reschedule your tour any time up to 12 hours before it starts. Tickets bought less than 12 hours before the start time are final sale and can’t be rescheduled.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. If you complete your tour and didn’t enjoy it, you’ll receive a 100% refund.
