About the Speakeasy Sagas Pub Crawl

Step back to the roaring ’20s, when Charleston’s hidden bars and back-alley speakeasies thrived under the shadow of Prohibition. Bootleggers ruled, secret passwords opened doors, and the cocktails were as strong as the stories behind them.

On the Speakeasy Sagas Pub Crawl, your guide leads you between historic bars once tied to smuggling, secret meetings and underground revelry. At each stop you order a drink of your choosing — a classic cocktail feels right — while hearing tales of rum-runners, lawmen on the take and the hidden world that kept the city buzzing through the dry years.

It’s history with a wink and a nightcap, made for cocktail lovers, history buffs and groups who like their night out with a theme. Dress in your best Gatsby-era attire if the mood strikes, or just bring your curiosity.

What to expect

  • Visit historic bars once tied to smuggling and order a drink at each
  • Hear tales of bootleggers, rum-runners and lawmen on the take
  • Discover the hidden world of Charleston’s Prohibition-era speakeasies
  • Gatsby-era attire welcome (but optional)

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 Charleston Food Tour and Charleston Dessert Tour both welcome guests ages 12 and up.

Which bars do we visit?

We can’t give away all of our secrets just yet! The crawl visits 3 or more 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.
