Overview

I've served more pub crawls, by far, than any guide in New Orleans. This provides me preferential, or exclusive, access to select venues that will help aid the tour's narrative and propel our exploration of New Orleans' cocktail/ghost history. This tour pays for itself, once you know the places I sip. Between bars, we walk to haunted/historical locations unveiling the culture, history, architecture, and the city's terrifying past.

Meeting points

We'll meet in front of the 1850 House Museum, prior to the start time. This is in Jackson Square, between the Cathedral and Cafe Dumonde. Apple Maps in particular, if asked for directions, will send you to a competitors kiosk who hi-jacked the address. Please double check how you get here.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

I found my success as a guide, with a belief that the best tours are craft, even a bit of art. Let me help you connect with the great city of New Orleans, by sharing tales of old and examining its drinking legacy. We’ll walk cobbled alleys, and listen to ghost stories as classic as the libations you'll be sipping upon. I've created an evening of documented ghosts, city history, drinking yarns, and Voodoo. I'll tie it all together into a cohesive experience of chills, laughs, and must-have drink suggestions. This is still well-researched history, but made fun. Let me save you from the dull recitation of New Orleans' bullet points: I put on a show. There will be no capes, no blurry photos, and no vampire tales. I use stories that are historically sourced – which makes this tour far more frightening. By using actual stories, from the cultures that created this city, you will begin to unravel what makes New Orleans so special. The tour is designed for the curious, people who wish to understand the places they visit and share drinks with fellow travelers. Don't confuse this with the party-crawls. This is a professional drinking event - a genuinely full tour.

Insert clever spirit-booze-ghost pun here

Published on Feb, 2025

If you appreciate a guide who’s done the research and can cite his sources (versus just regurgitating/embellishing the same stories that other guides are telling), then this tour is for you. If you enjoy a beverage, are intrigued about what people were drinking “back in the day,” and want more than an overly sweet Hurricane, this tour is for you. I also did a cocktail tour the last time I was in New Orleans several years ago, so I was worried there might be a little overlap, but this city has an amazing and vast medicinal-to-drank culture, and this particular tour is a bit more boutique, so I think the only overlap was one of the bars, but the drinks were totally different. Remember, the drinks are not included, and at least one of our stops was cash-only, which John warned us about a few hours before via text. I wasn’t sure if I’d drink at every stop, but you kind of get “in the spirit” in all of the best punny ways, and so when John suggests a cocktail with a secret ingredient that’s been brought out of extinction, you go with the flow. It probably would’ve been easier if we could’ve just paid and tipped at all of the locations in cash, so if you remember, maybe come prepared for that. When comparing evening ghosty tours, I knew I’d like this one because it’s not just a company with a rotating cast of guides. This is John’s company. It’s a one-man show and it really is more of a performance (based on printed history as much as possible) than just a guide showing you the places where stuff supposedly happened. He has a unique storytelling cadence that works with the subject matter, but you have to listen carefully (i.e. don’t arrive tipsy), so you don’t miss anything and the language of the time that he weaves in there.

Amazing storyteller!!!!

John was wonderful and is an AMAZING storyteller. We had a great time. His love of New Orleans is evident in the way he leads the tour.

Perfect balance of history and ghosts

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was the perfect mix of history, ghosts and drinks. Communication was excellent, and everything went smoothly.

Great tour! Super fun

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing tour, very fun tour guide and amazing drinks as well. We really enjoyed the stories and John even stayed for another hour answering questions. Would definitely book with him again!

Awesome time!

Published on Dec, 2024

John’s tour was a blast! Interesting cocktails with fun adjoining history, historical ghost stories with their cultural undertones explored, and lots of fun New Orleans history. I think a testament to how good the tour was is that our entire tour stayed the full time during absolute POURING rain because we were all having that much fun. John is a great story teller and guide!
