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.
Great evening with John! Not sure where to start. Loved the small group size versus the other tours you see in the street. Great stories told well! And of course great cocktails. Good locations and unique drinks. Highly recommended. Thanks, John.
Great value! John is a amazing storyteller and knows so much about the history of New Orleans. Bars were and reasonably priced. Highly recommend doing this tour while you are in town.
Phenomenal and unique tour. He has put so much effort into detail and accuracy. He has a gift for story telling and is extraordinarily passionate. Our group would highly recommend his perspective for your New Orleans experience.
John’s tour felt like a unique experience, bars and cocktails we wouldn’t have tried otherwise. And his stories were great and well-researched too!
The tour was a lot of fun. John does a great job of storytelling!.
