Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Hidden Bar and Speakeasy Night Tour explores New York City's Prohibition-era history by guiding guests through a curated selection of secret venues and hidden bars.

The tour includes a guided walking tour with a local historian and entry to multiple hidden bars, though food and beverage purchases inside the venues are at your own expense.

The guided walking portion of the tour typically lasts between two and two and a half hours, covering approximately one to two miles of walking.

Participants visit a curated selection of modern speakeasies, hidden basement lounges, and secret cocktail bars that require passwords or concealed entrances to access.

The tour generally begins at a designated public landmark in the East Village or Greenwich Village, which is easily accessible via multiple NYC subway lines.

Because the tour involves entering operating bars and focuses on cocktail history, all participants must be strictly 21 years of age or older.

Due to the historical nature of the buildings and the concealed, often subterranean locations of the speakeasies, the tour involves stairs and is generally not wheelchair accessible.

The tour operates on select evenings throughout the week, though weekend nights tend to feature a busier atmosphere inside the venues compared to weekday evenings.

You must bring a valid, government-issued photo ID to prove you are over 21, as venue staff will deny entry to anyone without proper identification.

Most operators require cancellations to be made at least 24 to 48 hours prior to the scheduled start time to receive a full refund or reschedule the booking.

While strict formal wear is not required, venues enforce a smart casual dress code and will deny entry to guests wearing athletic wear, flip-flops, or excessively torn clothing.

Broadway is an important north-south road in New York City and is well known to tourists because of its many opera houses. The more lively and crowded place on Broadway is the intersection with Times Square. Every day, the theater here will show classic operas such as "The Phantom of the Opera", "The Lion King", "The Bad Witch" and so on. The streets of New York are all horizontal and vertical except for the lower city. Only Broadway is crooked from the riverside pier in the southeast of lower Manhattan, through the bustling downtown and quiet residences, through skyscrapers and tree-lined streets, and directly to the northwest. The vast land of New York State. If you want to take a good stroll around this avenue, you can take Times Square as the center. The southern end of the avenue is Battery Park, which has the famous Fort Clinton. From here, you enter Broadway Avenue. At the intersection of Broadway Avenue, there is a Wall Street copper bull representing New York's financial industry. After passing the copper bull, you will pass the Federal Building, New York City Hall and Chinatown. To the north of Times Square is Columbus Circle, where you enter Central Park, and you can reach the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts through the Upper West Side, where the wealthy gather.
