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.

What a fun afternoon! - What a fun (and educational) way to spend an afternoon! I've lived in DC for years, but heard new stories and learned interesting history about the city in which I live. This is a must do for anyone interested in history, especially with a side of beer (or non alcoholic drink of choice)!

Great tour, highly recommended - Great way to see a few iconic Washington watering holes and meet a few like-minded travellers. Dalton, our host, provided excellent additional information about where to eat and continue the party after the crawl ended.. I recommend the 4pm crawl as you can then go to the rooftop bar at Pub #2 to watch the sunset.

Educational pub crawl! - We had great fun hitting the pubs in downtown DC with Diana. Even for locals like us, she had interesting history and funny trivia we had never heard before. And we now have some new pubs to put in the rotation. Highly recommend!
