Overview

Uncover Austin’s rough-and-rowdy past on this non-haunted Wild West pub crawl through downtown. Limited to 12 guests, this 2.25-hour experience blends true outlaw history with four bar stops in the very part of town where whiskey, vice, gambling, and backroom chaos once defined the city.

You’ll follow your guide through historic downtown Austin including the old vice and warehouse district, the Driskill Hotel, and Sixth Street where some of old Austin’s wildest stories still echo. Along the way you’ll stop at four bars that are hidden gems and local favorites where you can purchase drinks and hear true stories told with local flavor and just a hint of Texas twang.

This is a fun night out for history lovers, travelers and locals who want fun, offbeat history stories and good local bars.

Some bar stops are intentionally kept off the public itinerary so we can preserve a few surprises, but your starting point and ending area will always be clear before you arrive.
