Overview

I've served more pub crawls, by far, than any guide in New Orleans. This provides me preferential, or exclusive, access to select venues that will help aid the tour's narrative and propel our exploration of New Orleans' cocktail/ghost history. This tour pays for itself, once you know the places I sip. Between bars, we walk to haunted/historical locations unveiling the culture, history, architecture, and the city's terrifying past.

What's Included

  • Years of well researched stories and history, sourced from the great city of New Orleans!
  • Alcoholic beverages Drinks are not included, the average price for the suggested drinks will hover from 8 to 15 dollars per drink. Drink at your own pace, you are not required to purchase anything, please pace yourself!
  • Gratuities for bartenders are common

What To Expect

I found my success as a guide, with a belief that the best tours are craft, even a bit of art. Let me help you connect with the great city of New Orleans, by sharing tales of old and examining its drinking legacy. We’ll walk cobbled alleys, and listen to ghost stories as classic as the libations you'll be sipping upon.

I've created an evening of documented ghosts, city history, drinking yarns, and Voodoo. I'll tie it all together into a cohesive experience of chills, laughs, and must-have drink suggestions. This is still well-researched history, but made fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans' bullet points: I put on a show.

There will be no capes, no blurry photos, and no vampire tales. I use stories that are historically sourced – which makes this tour far more frightening.

By using actual stories, from the cultures that created this city, you will begin to unravel what makes New Orleans so special.

The tour is designed for the curious, people who wish to understand the places they visit and share drinks with fellow travelers. Don't confuse this with the party-crawls. This is a professional drinking event - a genuinely full tour.
