The history is super interesting and love the authenticity to parts of the building. Interacted w some spirits I didn’t want to leave! The tour def gave me goosebumps!

Happy to hear you had the experience you were looking for on your tour! Paris does a great job and has a lot of passion for Shakers and it's resident spirits. That place sure does like to suck you in and make you not want to leave, huh? Cheers!

What a fun and entertaining experience! Our tour was fascinating and spooky and educational. Lots of cool history points as well as sordid details about the early establishment. The building itself is neat to see, a lot of the original design and architecture remain. Kirsten was our guide and was absolutely phenomenal. She was a treat! Highly recommend if you’re into this sort of thing. We really had a blast.

We really enjoyed this tour and this bar. Our tour guide, Kayleigh, is a great storyteller and really brings the history of the place to life. The building itself is fascinating and the owner has done a great job of preserving its history and character. We felt like we stepped back in time. I highly recommend this tour.

Happy to hear you enjoyed your experience! Kaleigh is a great guide - highly intuitive and connected to the activity at Shakers. She also gives tarot card readings on Fridays and Saturdays. Hope to see you again soon! Cheers.
