We've been on 2 tours with FOB and they've both been great but this cocktail tour is supreme. We had 3 stops. 1 of which had a not on the menu yet cocktail. 1 had a new that day bread tasting with the distillery tour (trust that you'll need the bread by the second stop). All stops had snackies with the drinks. Our guides were very knowledgeable about local history that wasn't dreadfully boring and like the nicest babysitters I've ever had when bar hopping, haha. You just show up and go. Drinks are pre-ordered with food, seating is reserved, and a guide is on hand. Perfect for a bachelorette day or showing of downtown to out of towners! We're local and went to spots we didn't even know had things like cute tucked away patios. A must do!
