Follow in the footsteps of New York’s Prohibition-era drinkers who defied the 18th Amendment — which declared the production, transport and sale of alcohol illegal — by visiting four secret bars, aka speakeasies, located in tucked-away corners of the city.Your 3-hour evening barhop begins at McSorleys Old Ale House in Manhattan’s East Village. Known to locals as McSorley’s, this mid-19th-century watering hole is New York City’s oldest Irish tavern with a once-outdated mantra — until 1970, the former men-only pub lived by the motto Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies.’ Take in the old-time atmosphere, including newspaper clippings and memorabilia that have remained on the walls since 1910. Perhaps dig into the popular cheese platter, complete with big slices of raw onion, as you sip a mug of house-brand ale.Then it’s off to three more well-preserved clandestine hideaways that were once part of the Big Apples seamy underbelly. Three drinks and a snack are included, and you are welcome to purchase more beverages, if you wish. Your walking tour ends in the East Village.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingMinimum age is 21 yearsA current valid government-issued photo identification document must be brought on the day of the tourDress code is smart casual; no jeansInclusions3 drinks (guides choice)Snack (exact snack can vary)Cover chargesProfessional guideExclusionsFood and drinks, unless specifiedGratuities (recommended)Hotel pickup and drop-offDeparture PointEast Village, ManhattanDeparture Time7pmDuration3 hoursReturn DetailsEast VillageVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an electronic voucher for this activity.The tour identified in this promotion is made available through Viator.
