Overview

This isn’t your 8th-grade field trip! On the Liberty Pub Crawl, you’ll visit iconic Philadelphia bars and taverns in Old City with an expert local guide. Uncover the unknown and hilarious history your teacher left out, from a Founding Mother to a devious Ben Franklin and the spies who helped win the American Revolution. Laugh with fellow travelers from around the globe while the adults finally get their turn to learn history!

The tour lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes and begins at the corner of Market Street and North 2nd Street in Old City. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Drinks are not included in the ticket price and are available for purchase separately at each bar, so you can choose exactly what you would like to enjoy. Buying a drink is never required. Walking is limited to just a few blocks, allowing guests with a wide range of physical capabilities to enjoy the crawl.

Come laugh, learn, and raise a glass to Philadelphia’s rebellious past. Cheers!
