What happens on the day
A dream excursion for connoisseurs of both history and alcohol, this 3-hour guided walking tour takes you to some of Chicago’s most legendary speakeasy joints. Visit three iconic spots where even though the booze was banned, people found a way to imbibe!
Your tour begins when you meet up with your guide who will regale you with entertaining and colorful stories of Chicago’s seedy prohibition past. You’ll visit three different locales and learn the lengths that locals went to in order to get their hands on some illegal booze.
From the infamous gangster dives to the upper crust “jackets required” establishments where Chicago’s elite embraced being “scofflaws”, you’ll learn all about prohibition in the Windy City and see how much things have changed…and maybe how much they haven’t.
While the drinks may not be included in this tour, you won’t have to worry about skirting the law when you order up your favorite adult beverage on this one-of-a-kind Downtown Chicago Speakeasy Tour!
