Speakeasy Pub and Prohibition History Tour
Learn about Prohibition and the Gilded Age on a night out to remember in New York.
What you'll do
Join fellow travelers from around the world to learn all about the Gilded Age and Prohibition Era in three of New York’s most historic bars and speakeasies.
Hear inspiring storytelling about the political, cultural, and historical impact of Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 – 1933 in the U.S.

The walking tour will last approximately three hours and focus on bars or speakeasies in the Midtown West Manhattan and Times Square area of New York.
Members of this tour will get express entry and seating in a reserved area at each venue. Food and drinks are available for purchase. Embrace your inner mixologist! Will you try a New York sour, Old Fashioned, or Long Island iced tea?
