What You Will Do
Step back into the shadows of the 1920s, when Charleston was a city of contradictions—charming on the surface, rebellious underneath. On the Speakeasy Sagas Pub Crawl, you’ll walk the very streets where bootleggers dodged federal agents, secret bars buzzed behind locked doors.
During Prohibition, alcohol was outlawed—but in Charleston, the party never really stopped. This wasn’t just a city of Southern charm and steeples. It was a city of hidden rooms, rumrunners, and lawmen who conveniently looked the other way. From elegant society scandals to rowdy waterfront crime, this tour reveals the untold story of Charleston’s wild side. Along the way, stop at hand-picked pubs where you can enjoy your favorite modern cocktails in the Holy City with a refusal to stay dry.
If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours.
