Nashville’s Original Prohibition Cocktail Crawl explores downtown’s jazz-era nightlife, hidden-gem bars, and true stories from a sin-soaked past. Small groups and pay-as-you-go drinks keep it flexible, fun, and full of Gatsby-era mischief. Please note: this is a Prohibition-themed cocktail crawl, NOT a speakeasy-only tour. Nashville does not have enough true speakeasies near each other to create a walkable route. Instead, we visit a curated mix of historic, hidden-gem, and era-inspired venues for history, cocktails, and lots of laughter. In two hours, your 5-star host leads you to four downtown venues with stories of bootleggers, corruption, and clever workarounds that kept the spirits flowing. Drinks are optional and à la carte; some venues may offer specials or preferred pricing, but discounts are not guaranteed at every stop. The walk is under a mile and relaxed—ideal for groups, couples, bachelorettes, and curious travelers who like cocktails with crazy-but-true history!

What you'll see and do
Downtown Nashville
THE MEN’S QUARTER Nashville’s most notorious playground — where the booze poured freely, the dice and the patrons could both be loaded, and the cops on the beat knew the word on the street... and looked the other way! SMOKEY ROW Once a blurry-eyed haze of cigars, fallen souls, and back-room brawls — the air thick with mischief, moonshine, and whispers you didn’t dare repeat. THE INTERSECTION OF “SIN & SALVATION” Where the shadows of church steeples fell across gin joints and hooch houses, and bells mingled with the calls from “Cat Houses.” Proof this town’s halos and highballs have always shared the same streets. Walk these streets with us and you’ll begin to FEEL the echoes of the time — and maybe even the seductive pull a little sin can have for the saintly.

Printer's Alley
Dare to duck into Nashville’s most notorious back alley! Step into history (and maybe a little trouble) in the legendary Printer’s Alley — where the hooch flowed, the jazz jumped, and the coppers knew to mind their own business. By day, it was a hub for printing presses and bible-binding. But by night? A Prohibition playground for gangsters, politicians, and high-rollers slipping past the law for bootleg whiskey and hot music. Today, the shadows still hum with speakeasy-style bars, sultry blues clubs, and hidden nooks that keep its glamorous, slightly scandalous spirit alive. Walk here with us, and feel why Nashville’s legendary past — and its coolest locals — still choose this strip for nights a little edgier (and more historic) than Honky Tonk Row.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nashville.
How much does Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nashville usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nashville is not rushed.
Is Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nashville, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nashville can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nashville and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nashville’s 1st Prohibition Cocktail Crawl: Secrets & Scandals start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nashville within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nashville?
+
Nashville's activity mix is unusually music-heavy: Ryman and Opry backstage tours, RCA Studio B sessions, songwriter rounds and honky-tonk crawls on Broadway. Around that sit distillery runs to Lynchburg and general-admission pedal taverns. Outty Ranking penalises the crawl operators that oversell group size, which is the most common complaint in this city. On Outty we rank every Nashville experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Nashville: Authentic Food Tour with 5 Tastings of Local Dishes, Nashville's Wildest Honky Tonk Public Party Bus (21+), Nashville RCA Studio B & Country Music Hall of Fame Ticket Combo. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nashville?
+
April to May and September to October, when patios open and the humidity drops. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nashville?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
