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)

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 was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the history New Orleans and the way he told the stories was very entertaining! He is an expert in his craft! He was able to anticipate crowds coming in, would get us in first at the bars, had great relationships with the bartenders and had so many recommendations on local spots for us to visit after! Overall, I would recommend booking a tour with John!!
John is a true story teller and cares about his experience. It truly make our first night in New Orleans so special!
Wow, what an incredible experience. John is brilliantly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely funny. He shared so much insight into the culture, cocktails, history, and of course the ghost stories that make New Orleans so special. We absolutely loved this tour. It was not only entertaining but truly valuable. It deepened our appreciation for the city in a way we did not expect. I would recommend this to anyone visiting New Orleans, whether it is your first time or your hundredth. You will walk away having learned something new and with an even greater love for this beautiful, one of a kind city. 10 out of 10, do not miss this tour.
This experience was one part historic and memorable sites and two parts masterful storytelling making a wonderful cocktail of a tour. Highly recommend!
Great tour! So knowledgeable and interesting. Way better than any of the typical Ghost Tours we’ve been on. Love the hidden gems we visited! Just a really great experience. Highly recommend.
