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 has great energy and is extremely dedicated to providing a fun, knowledgeable and unique experience. I’ve been on several haunted tours and I appreciate crafted experiences with individual tour guides over large commercial groups. We are light drinkers and still really enjoyed the experience. This is the best tour in New Orleans, by far.
highly recommend this tour when you’re in nola! such a fun night with my girlfriends and got our ghostly fix!
John was great! Very knowledgeable, and definitely passionate about the ghost stories of New Orleans. Definitely recommend.
John is the best tour guide in NOLA, period. He’s got great stories, incredible bar recommendations, and history coming out of his ears. His tour is worth the second, third, fourth time!
Host has a passion for what he does. It made the experience great!
