NYC Speakeasy Pub and Prohibition History Tour

NiteTables' speakeasy tours get high marks for their guides, with Catherine, Ryan, Christopher, and Jonathan earning particular praise for being knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely engaging. Most guests loved the hidden bars visited during the tours, describing them as unique spots they wouldn't have discovered on their own. The social atmosphere gets consistent mentions too—groups bonded quickly, some even continuing their nights together afterward. Logistics like rescheduling appear hassle-free, and the tours integrate well with city passes. However, there's a disconnect worth noting. A couple reviewers felt misled by the tour description, expecting substantial prohibition history and educational content but instead experiencing what felt more like a bar crawl with expensive drinks. One mentioned only one of three venues actually felt like a proper speakeasy. Most guests clearly loved the social drinking experience and casual historical tidbits from guides, but if you're looking for an in-depth history lesson rather than a fun night out discovering cool cocktail spots, this might not match your expectations. The vibe leans heavily toward nightlife experience with history as flavor rather than the focus.
