Whiskey Rebellion and Prohibition Walking Tour - Downtown Pittsburgh
Advertisement
Take a whiskey walk with us and learn about Pittsburgh over a cocktail or two! From the mill to the still, whiskey has been a cornerstone in Pittsburgh's history. Come downtown for our whiskey tour where you will discover how whiskey has fueled political, labor and social movements throughout the region. Begin and end your tour in style with a Prohibition cocktail at the Ritual House and an Old Fashioned at the Rebel Room. As we walk the streets of Downtown, along iconic architecture, you'll learn about the violent Whiskey Rebellion in Pittsburgh, hidden former (and current!) speakeasies around the city, and how Prohibition affected the region.
