Drinking In Charleston Tour

Charleston is known as the Holy City...but it wasn't always so holy. Take a walk into the city's salacious past with our historic drinking tour of the city. We'll start the tour where a famous criminals came to pay their penance before proceeding to a bar inspired by Charleston's early attempts to avoid the state's liquor tax. We'll stroll down a historic alleyway where duelists met to defend their honor and pay a visit to the unassuming house where Charleston's elite went to... ahem...play. We'll end the night at a bar that serves the famous Charleston Light Dragoon's Punch which is the 19th century version of PJ.
