The advantage to having done more pub crawls than anyone else in the city, is that I have the widest range of classic bars, and the best bartenders in the city, at my disposal. These people are my friends. New Orleans is a cocktail town, with reason. This is an evening of classic concoctions, ghost stories, city history, drinking tales, and voodoo. I’ll tie all of these points together into a cohesive experience of chills, laughs, and must-have drink suggestions. This is still well-researched history, but I’m here to make it fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans’ bullet points – I put on a show. This is storytelling, and through these stories, I will help you connect with one of the most amazing cities on the planet.
I will balance the tour locations based on group interest. This is an introduction to the important signature drinks of New Orleans. However, this is definitely unpretentious. You are not required to buy anything, drink what you wish. In between bars, we will visit some historical, and haunted locations, while I weave all the content into a well-rounded evening. This is perfect for groups with a wide range of interests…..except vampire stories, I don’t do vampire stories, those are made up.
It is logistically easier to let you buy your own drinks, I don’t provide them
1850 House Museum (523 St Anne) in Jackson Square(Google Map)
5 P.M. or 8 P.M (Private bookouts available)
We will visit classic and neighborhood bars that have some of the best bartenders in the city. With drinks in hand, we will walk and stop at historical places between each bar, and hear some of the old ghost stories that have fascinated New Orleanians for generations. We’ll talk history, a little architecture, and drinking tales. I will mold the content and venues based on group interest.
John is an incredible tour guide! It is clear that he takes an immense amount of pride in his storytelling, and he is undeniably passionate about the history of New Orleans. He has created a very unique tour that blends the ghostly history of NOLA with the unique cocktails that the city is known for. We are SO grateful that we found John and we will absolutely reach out to him next time we are in NOLA.
We had the best time on our ghost tour thanks to John! He was incredibly knowledgeable and such an engaging storyteller – you could tell he really knows the history and loves sharing it. He brought each story to life in a way that kept us hooked the entire time. He also took us to some amazing spots we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own, and even pointed out places with great deals along the way. It felt like more than just a tour – it was a full experience. Highly recommend if you want something fun, interesting, and a little spooky!
John provided an amazing boutique tour experience! This tour is thoughtfully curated and immersive, emphasizing authenticity, local culture, and meaningful storytelling. John is an exceptional guide whose passion for New Orleans history truly elevates the experience. The three bars we visited were carefully selected and felt genuinely local, offering a refreshing change from the more touristy spots. Each location had its own character, and John enhanced the experience by pairing them with curated cocktail recommendations that reflected the spirit of the city. The added touch of John ordering and serving some of them for the group created a relaxed, communal atmosphere. If you are looking for an intimate and thoughtfully designed way to experience New Orleans, this is an outstanding choice!
Great information and great cocktails. Truly a boutique experience as described
