À quoi s'attendre
1
Lower Manhattan
The meeting point for the group is always at a park where there is seating, shade, and water. While the group awaits for all the attendees to arrive, the tour guide will provide some general colonial history of New York City and deliver interesting facts related to the era — like why we say 'bucks' instead of dollars, why 'Houston' is pronounced differently in NYC, and much more. Once the whole group is ready, the tour guide will provide a small introduction about the speakeasy tour and explain how long it is, how many speakeasies will be visited (it's usually six or seven), and at which speakeasy the group will be allowed to grab a drink. The tour guide will also explain where the tour ends, which is always an area with nightlife, bars, clubs, and restaurants — all located in close proximity to subway entrances. On every tour, the first drink is enjoyed at the first speakeasy. In most cases, the group will either skip the line, get a reserved table, or both — but skipping the line is guaranteed. While enjoying a high-quality, internationally recognized, award-winning cocktail, the tour guide will explain about the causes and effects that led to passing the 18th amendment (Prohibition). The guide will not only explain how and why it was passed, but the history of alcohol consumption in the US in general, the history of alcohol taxation, and most importantly, how the US tried to enforce Prohibition. For each drink, spend up to an hour, but in most cases, the group only takes around 40 minutes. Tour guides are obliged to assure that no one feels too rushed to finish their drinks because they are high-quality crafted cocktails that ought to be savored and enjoyed. Some speakeasies will have even Burlesque shows, but all are completely hidden from the exterior. Go through unmarked doors, back alley ways, phone booths, a bank's vault door, behind a psychic shop, through doors indicating 'No Entrance,' 'Emergency exit only' or even through a Five Guys burger joint. Most of the speakeasies are so well hidden that most of our clientele are actually locals struggling to find them, even with the physical address on their phones. At the last stop, the guide will give the option to either stay at the last speakeasy for a third drink or to explore the stimulated and vivid neighborhood where the tour ends, where there is many nightlife establishments, restaurants, clubs, bars, stand up comedy, life music and much more.

La partie basse de Manhattan
Le point de rencontre du groupe est toujours dans un parc où il y a des sièges, de l'ombre et de l'eau. Pendant que le groupe attend l'arrivée de tous les participants, le guide fournira un aperçu de l'histoire coloniale générale de New York et des faits intéressants liés à l'époque - comme pourquoi nous disons « bucks » au lieu de dollars, pourquoi « Houston » se prononce différemment à New York, et bien plus encore. Une fois que tout le groupe est prêt, le guide vous fournira une petite introduction sur la visite du speakeasy et expliquera sa durée, combien de speakeasis seront visités (généralement six ou sept) et à quel speakeasy le groupe sera autorisé à prendre un verre. Le guide vous expliquera également où se termine la visite, qui est toujours une zone de vie nocturne, de bars, de clubs et de restaurants, tous situés à proximité des entrées de métro. À chaque visite, le premier verre est dégusté au premier speakeasy. Dans la plupart des cas, le groupe sautera la ligne, obtiendra une table réservée, ou les deux - mais sauter la ligne est garanti. Tout en dégustant un cocktail primé de haute qualité, reconnu internationalement, le guide vous expliquera les causes et les effets qui ont conduit à l'adoption du 18e amendement (interdiction). Le guide expliquera non seulement comment et pourquoi il a été adopté, mais l'histoire de la consommation d'alcool aux États-Unis en général, l'histoire de la taxation de l'alcool et, plus important encore, comment les États-Unis ont tenté de faire respecter la prohibition. Pour chaque boisson, passez jusqu'à une heure, mais dans la plupart des cas, le groupe ne prend qu'environ 40 minutes. Les guides touristiques sont obligés de veiller à ce que personne ne se sente trop pressé de finir ses boissons, car ce sont des cocktails artisanaux de haute qualité qui doivent être savourés et appréciés. Certains bars clandestins auront même des spectacles burlesques, mais tous sont complètement cachés de l'extérieur. Passez par des portes non marquées, des ruelles, des cabines téléphoniques, la porte du coffre-fort d'une banque, derrière un magasin de voyance, par des portes indiquant "Pas d'entrée", "Sortie de secours uniquement" ou même par un joint de hamburger Five Guys. La plupart des bars clandestins sont si bien cachés que la plupart de notre clientèle sont en fait des locaux qui ont du mal à les trouver, même avec l'adresse physique sur leur téléphone. Au dernier arrêt, le guide vous donnera la possibilité de rester au dernier speakeasy pour un troisième verre ou d'explorer le quartier stimulé et animé où se termine la visite, où se trouvent de nombreux établissements de vie nocturne, restaurants, clubs, bars, debout comédie, musique de la vie et bien plus encore.

The meeting point for the group is always at a park where there is seating, shade, and water. While the group awaits for all the attendees to arrive, the tour guide will provide some general colonial history of New York City and deliver interesting facts related to the era — like why we say 'bucks' instead of dollars, why 'Houston' is pronounced differently in NYC, and much more. Once the whole group is ready, the tour guide will provide a small introduction about the speakeasy tour and explain how long it is, how many speakeasies will be visited (it's usually six or seven), and at which speakeasy the group will be allowed to grab a drink. The tour guide will also explain where the tour ends, which is always an area with nightlife, bars, clubs, and restaurants — all located in close proximity to subway entrances. On every tour, the first drink is enjoyed at the first speakeasy. In most cases, the group will either skip the line, get a reserved table, or both — but skipping the line is guaranteed. While enjoying a high-quality, internationally recognized, award-winning cocktail, the tour guide will explain about the causes and effects that led to passing the 18th amendment (Prohibition). The guide will not only explain how and why it was passed, but the history of alcohol consumption in the US in general, the history of alcohol taxation, and most importantly, how the US tried to enforce Prohibition. For each drink, spend up to an hour, but in most cases, the group only takes around 40 minutes. Tour guides are obliged to assure that no one feels too rushed to finish their drinks because they are high-quality crafted cocktails that ought to be savored and enjoyed. Some speakeasies will have even Burlesque shows, but all are completely hidden from the exterior. Go through unmarked doors, back alley ways, phone booths, a bank's vault door, behind a psychic shop, through doors indicating 'No Entrance,' 'Emergency exit only' or even through a Five Guys burger joint. Most of the speakeasies are so well hidden that most of our clientele are actually locals struggling to find them, even with the physical address on their phones. At the last stop, the guide will give the option to either stay at the last speakeasy for a third drink or to explore the stimulated and vivid neighborhood where the tour ends, where there is many nightlife establishments, restaurants, clubs, bars, stand up comedy, life music and much more.

Our tour guide Madeleine was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and the locations were well-picked. Would definitely recommend.

This is a hard review to write because we had an enjoyable evening but I just don't feel like you get what you pay for. We met our guide in La Cantina, we were only a small group-myself and my husband, and a s conde couple. We went up to the first bar, which was empty, ordered a drink and we were introduced to the speakeasy/prohibition history - and told that this first bar isn't a speakeasy. They just guessed that it could have been but have absolutely no evidence. When it came to paying, we were reminded over and over that tips weren't included and then we weren't even given a bill! We were told to give the guide the cash and he would deal with it "for your drinks, it's about $48 dollars, including tip" Tipping may be a large part of the culture (and believe me, we tipped everywhere!) but I don't expect it to just be decided how much I will leave. Then we went to the second bar, which was amazing - and a genuine speakeasy! We were told more about the history and then conversation moved on and we had a great time. Finally, time for the third bar. Again NOT a speakeasy! And, when we arrived, no table had been reserved, we sat along the bar (which killed the evening as we couldn't speak to each other), the guide drank his complimentary glass of water and left. It was a good night, the guide was a nice guy and we enjoyed chatting to him about NYC life - but one speakeasy on a "prohibition and speakeasy" walking tour feels like you aren't getting what you pay for.

Hello and thank you for the for the feedback. Perhaps the host forgot to mention that generally it's hard to know exactly if some of those establishments were authentic Speakeasies from the Prohibtion era because they were illegal and therefore didn't leave sufficient evidence to be conclusive. Once an establishments claim it was a Speakeasy during Prohibition we do our due diligence to research it and do not claim it if there isn't sufficient records to cross reference. We could tell you it was but we do our best to stay true and honest to the history. Thank you for your understanding.

We had a great time. Madeline was full of information and enthusiasm. She made us feel welcome and told great stories. I would recommend this to anyone curious about prohibition. And the drinks were top-notch.
