Phantoms of Prohibition: Ghosts, Cocktails, & Bites Tour

*Discover Louisville's Prohibition past on a haunted cocktail & food tour down Whiskey Row.*

Duration

3 Hours

About

Venture out with us and explore the hidden stories of Louisville’s haunted past. As you eat and drink your way down Whiskey Row, you’ll meet the resident ghosts of Louisville’s historic downtown, trace the footsteps of bourbon magnates and mobsters, discover hidden speakeasies in the belly of Whiskey Row, and learn the shocking truth about Prohibition.

In the mid-1800's, the stretch of Main Street now known as Whiskey Row was filled to the brim with bourbon barrels - which would soon be considered contraband. While this area nearly crumbled to disrepair, today the historic facades house bourbon distilleries, bars, restaurants and hotels.

Like the combination of rye, corn, wheat, and malted barley, this tour is the perfect blend of cocktails, food, ghosts, and Prohibition history.
