About this experience
Avoid Broadway. Find the secrets. Step into the hidden world of Nashville’s underground past.
Speakeasy Secrets: A Murder & True Crime Cocktail Crawl takes you behind unmarked doors, through hidden entrances, and into the city’s most exclusive speakeasies — the kind only locals know (and tourists walk right past).
This isn’t your average bar crawl. Curated cocktails. Hidden rooms. No wristbands. Just expert storytelling, scandalous history, and the chilling true crime tales they don’t teach you on Broadway.
Follow our insider guides — part historian, part bourbon-soaked detective — as they reveal Nashville’s Prohibition underbelly, deadly affairs, corrupt power players, and the secrets soaked into every poured drink.
Whether you’re a whiskey lover, a true crime junkie, or just here to dodge the pedal taverns and drink like a local, you’ve found your people.
Luxury without the attitude. History with a chaser.
Our password gets you more than a discount.

Tucked behind a door most people miss and buried in the bones of old Nashville, this speakeasy isn’t marked — and it doesn’t want to be. No signs. No walk-ins. Just whispers, and a pour of something strong enough to shut up a ghost.
