Live times, availability and final pricing are shown at checkout.
The Bay Street Bastards Pub Crawl is a unique and thrilling way to explore Charleston’s dark history while visiting some of its favorite bars and pubs.
Charleston is known as the “Holy City,” but it also has a darker side. From gruesome murders to notorious criminals, there are plenty of true-crime stories to discover here.
You’ll visit some of Charleston’s famous watering holes while your guide shares stories of true crime from the city’s past — including Lavinia Fisher, often called the first female serial killer in the United States, and John and Lottie Black, known as the “King and Queen of Charleston’s Red Light District.”
The crawl includes several stops, each with its own atmosphere and selection of drinks. You’ll have the chance to try craft beers, cocktails and wines while mingling with fellow true-crime enthusiasts.

Questions
No. Because this is a pub crawl, all guests must be at least 21 years of age, and we do check IDs. If someone in your group is under 21, consider our Charleston Food Tour, which is open to guests 12 and up.
All sales are final, but you can reschedule your tour if needed. Our Money Back Guarantee gives you a 100% refund if you didn't enjoy your tour after completing it.
We can't tell all of our secrets just yet! Our pub crawls visit 3 or more locations per night. We don't guarantee specific locations, because we may have to change a stop at the last minute for reasons beyond our control.
