Great tour, Vanna was great, very informative and entertaining. The history of this time period is very interesting





Gå tilbage til skyggerne i 1920'erne, da Charleston var en by af modsætninger - charmerende på overfladen, oprørsk under. På Speakeasy Sagas Pub Crawl, vil du gå de gader, hvor bootleggers undgik føderale agenter, hemmelige barer buzzed bag Låste døre. Under forbuddet var alkohol ulovligt - men i Charleston stoppede festen aldrig. Dette var ikke bare en by af sydlig charme og stier. Det var en by af skjulte værelser, røvere og lovmænd, der bekvemt kiggede den anden vej. Fra elegante samfundsskandaler til grov vandfrontkriminalitet afslører denne tur den uudtalte historie om Charlestons vilde side. Undervejs stopper du ved håndplukkede pubber, hvor du kan nyde dine foretrukne moderne cocktails (ikke inkluderet i turprisen) i den hellige by med afslag på at forblive tør.
Gå tilbage til det brølende 1920'ere, da Charleston var en hotbed af bootleggers, speakeasies og føderale raids. På denne åndelige pub crawl, vil vi afsløre byens vilde fortid i forbudsperioden - begyndende med den imponerende US Customs House, en gang en fæstning i kampen mod ulovlig alkohol. Fra whisperede aftaler på havnen til skjulte flasker bag bar kontorer, vil du udforske, hvordan Charleston dansede omkring loven - og rejste et glas alligevel. Ære til oprøret, rumløse, og byen, der aldrig forblev tør.
Selv om St. Philip’s Kirke er mest kendt for sin flydende stald og hellige historie, spillede St. Philip’s Kirke en roligere rolle under forbuddet - som et rygende udkigspunkt og mødested i den hellige bys underjordiske verden af bootleggers og bagrumsaftaler. Kun få skridt fra, hvor loven prædikede temperament, lokalbefolkningen viskede om skjulte skjulesteder og hemmelige sug. I en by, hvor hellige møder skandale, St. Philip's stod på krydsvejen for tro, folklore og forbudte ånder.
High Cotton, en smukt restaureret tidligere bankbygning i Charlestons historiske distrikt, er hvor elegance, rigdom og oprør engang kolliderede. Navngivet efter den sydlige sætning "levende på høj bomuld," dette landemærke afspejler velstanden i Charlestons bomuldshandelsæra og byens elites overdådige livsstil. Men under den raffinerede atmosfære ligger en mere kontroversiel historie. Lokale legender forbinder bygningen med den brændende temperance aktivist Carry A. Nation, berømt for at storme saloner med en hatchet under hendes korstog mod alkohol i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet.
Rudy Royale afspejler en åndelig historie, men bag dens moderne sydlige charme ligger en forbindelse til en af de mest kontroversielle perioder i amerikansk historie - forbuddet. I perioden med den 18. ændring, hvor salg og produktion af alkohol blev ulovligt i USA fra 1920 til 1933, blev Charlestons barer og bagkamre omdannet til skjulte spakeasier, hvor alkohol fortsatte med at strømme på trods af føderal lovgivning. Charleston forbliver en by, der modstod stille, fejrer højt, og holder sin ånd fuld bag lukkede døre.
