Additional Information

This isn’t the typical school field trip experience. Immerse yourself in the famed D.C. bar scene, presented to you by a knowledgeable local guide. You’ll be exposed to the less-taught aspects of history, while sharing laughter with fellow globe-trotters. It’s history time for adults!

On this 2 hour and 15 minute historical bar hop, you will unravel unheard stories of D.C. Learn the impact that alcohol had on the formation of our nation’s capital, from George Washington’s pursuits as a master distiller, through the grim era of Prohibition, and even the revelries held in the White House.

D.C. Crawling provides two pricing options: The Happy Hour Package completes your experience with four beers or ciders of your preference, while the Dry Run Ticket lets you enjoy the tour without any pre-purchased drinks. With either of these options, you reserve the right to buy your drinks straight from the bars.

So, slide onto one of the bar stools, order a cold one, and explore the Premier Pub Crawl of D.C! Bottoms up!

Location
General Andrew Jackson Statue
The History Tour Pub Crawl meets at the Andrew Jackson Statue in Lafayette Square located at Pennsylvania Ave NW & 16th Street Northwest, Washington, DC, 20001. Your guide will be in front of the statue holding a DC Crawling sign with our crawling baby logo.

Fun Mix of DC History and Beer With a Knowledgeable Guide - I attended the tour held on August 27th with friends. We had a great time. Our guide Michael was very friendly, engaging, and clearly knowledgeable about the area given the stories that he told us. The story about the guy that was illegally supplying booze to Congress during Prohibition was a highlight. The distance between bars was just right. Suggestion: Ending at the Round Robin instead of at the Hamilton would have been better :-)

Totally worth it - Great experience! I was looking for a tour that would steer away from the basic history you learn in school… and thats what I got. So many good stories ranging from a dual to the death to spy pigeons. (but not the type you are thinking about) Beer recommendations where on point.
