Overview

Along the way, enjoy stops at historic bars and taverns where spirits, both liquid and otherwise, still make appearances. Equal parts storytelling, history, and nightlife, this tour reveals how Houston’s past continues to echo long after last call. All guests must be age 21 and older and have a valid I.D.
