Tour guide Ryan did a wonderful job! We were a small group of Americans, Scots, Irish, and Germans. Ryan navigated us around Midtown, provided an excellent narrative of the history of Prohibition and how it impacted Hell's Kitchen, and especially how it led to the rise of the speakeasies, the Irish mob, etc. He was absolutely brilliant! We visited three pubs that have ties to prohibition (or are modern-day speakeasies) that specialize in high-end mixology (craft beer would be a different tour!). I highly recommend this for your next visit to Midtown Manhattan!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️ Tour guide Ryan along with guests from Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and Virginia had a blast! Ryan took us to three speakeasies in midtown/Hells Kitchen and gave us a very informative talk on the history of Prohibition, impact on New York, establishment of speakeasies, and the end of prohibition. Each pub was well versed in high-end mixology. Between the walk, the history, and the excellent drinks, this tour will not disappoint!
