What's included

A curated cocktail afternoon, not a bar crawl

Guided rye whiskey tasting

The tour opens with a guided rye whiskey tasting before moving into the cocktail stops.

Three cocktail stops

Three additional cocktail or mocktail stops at downtown bars, each reserved in advance so you're never waiting for a seat.

Snack pairings

Snack pairings along the way keep the afternoon balanced across roughly three hours.

Gratuities handled

20% gratuities for restaurant staff are included in your ticket, so there's nothing to figure out at each stop.

Christine's take
"We used to run our own craft cocktail tour, so I know exactly what makes one work: reserved seats, a real tasting to anchor it, and bars chosen for the drinks rather than the crowds. This one gets those things right, which is why it's the cocktail tour I point people to."
