Highlights

We’ll visit old bars of Chicago, many preserved in original condition, that were open during prohibition in the 1920’s. Enter by way of the “secret” entrance and enjoy one of the same cocktails ordered by the infamous Chicago gangsters & bank robbers at these venues nearly a century ago. Al Capone’s personal favorite was “The South-side.” Relive the glamour of the 1920’s while listening to stories of the rampant racketeering and bootlegging of the era. This tour will visit several of these historic venues still in operation as speakeasies today in and around the Chicagoland area. The tour guide will tell the history behind and make recommendations for prohibition era cocktails, but the price of food and/or drinks is not included in the price of the tour. Dress is fancy casual or… For fun, you are welcome to wear period clothing like your Guide.

Wonderful Experience! - I booked this speakeasy tour for a joint bachelor / bachelorette party I was hosting and it was wonderful! Our tour guide, Conor, picked great places to accommodate our group of 16. He and our driver, Melvin, showed up 15 minutes early and kept us on track all day, they even made sure we could get a group photo with a good view of the city. Conor made the whole experience very easy and memorable.

Gansta’ - Stefan was an excellent Guide with lots of historic knowledge. The venues were interesting and not something we would have been able to find on our own.

Great tour! So much fun! - Our tour guide, Kai, was an amazing wealth of knowledge! I don’t think there was anything about this city that she didn’t know! We rented 1920’s costumes from Chicago Costumes and got a lot of attention which made it even more fun! The pubs we went to had awesome history and were very cool… and the bus was amazing… definitely a high end limo tour! We would definitely recommend this tour!

Expensive Speakeasy tour - At $330/person I was surprised that the operator/guide did not provide the drinks at the bars. He was very knowledgeable about the city and we had a great time. It was just too expensive.
