About this tour
A 2-hour interactive murder mystery pub crawl through Nashville's actual Prohibition-era bars and speakeasies.

What to expect
You'll arrive at your first venue and receive your detective notebook and briefing on Birdie Patterson's murder. Over two hours, you'll move between multiple historic bars and speakeasies, meeting costumed characters who play suspects and provide clues. Each stop adds a piece to the puzzle: you'll question witnesses, collect evidence notes, and build your theory of what happened. Live actors stay in character and respond to your questions. You'll wrap up at the final location with a reveal and the chance to compare your conclusion with the actual solution.
The experience balances exploration of real venues with theatrical elements—expect some waiting between locations, interaction with other groups if at capacity, and a theatrical rather than puzzle-game atmosphere. No prior mystery-solving experience needed.

Good to know
This works well for groups wanting something beyond standard bar hopping, people interested in Nashville history, and anyone who enjoys interactive theatre. You must be 21+ with valid ID for entry to all venues. Alcohol is not included in the price—you'll buy drinks separately at each bar, which adds cost beyond the experience fee. Minimum group size is 6 people; smaller bookings may be cancelled or rescheduled. The 2-hour timeframe covers multiple venues, so expect a moderate walking pace between stops. Guide gratuity is not included. Public transport is nearby if you prefer not to walk the full route.
