+19 photos
Descripción
Vuelve a las sombras de la década de 1920, cuando Charleston era una ciudad de contradicciones, encantadora en la superficie, rebelde por dentro. En el Speakeasy Sagas Pub Crawl, caminarás por las mismas calles donde los contrabandistas esquivaron a los agentes federales, las barras secretas zumbaron a puerta cerrada. Durante la Prohibición, el alcohol estaba prohibido, pero en Charleston, la fiesta nunca se detuvo. Esta no era solo una ciudad de encanto y torres del sur. Era una ciudad de habitaciones ocultas, corredores de rumiantes y hombres de la ley que convenientemente miraban para otro lado. Desde elegantes escándalos de la sociedad hasta crímenes de alta mar, este tour revela la historia no contada del lado salvaje de Charleston. En el camino, deténgase en pubs cuidadosamente seleccionados donde podrá disfrutar de sus cócteles modernos favoritos (no incluidos en el precio del tour) en la Ciudad Santa sin negarse a permanecer seco.

Itinerario
Retroceda a la rugiente década de 1920, cuando Charleston era un hervidero de contrabandistas, confederaciones y redadas federales. En este animado pub descubriremos el salvaje pasado de la época de la Prohibición de la ciudad, comenzando por la imponente Aduana de los Estados Unidos, que alguna vez fue un bastión en la lucha contra el alcohol ilegal. Desde negocios susurrados en los muelles hasta botellas ocultas detrás de los mostradores de los bares, explorará cómo Charleston bailó alrededor de la ley y levantó una copa de todos modos. Saludos a la rebelión, corredores de ron, y la ciudad que nunca se mantuvo seca.
Si bien es mejor conocida por su elevado campanario e historia sagrada, la Iglesia de San Felipe desempeñó un papel más tranquilo durante la Prohibición, como un rumoreado punto de mirador y punto de encuentro en el mundo subterráneo de la Ciudad Santa de contrabandistas y acuerdos de trastienda. A pocos pasos de donde la ley predicaba la templanza, los lugareños susurraban sobre escondrijos y sorbos secretos. En una ciudad donde el escándalo se encontró con lo sagrado, San Felipe se encontraba en la encrucijada de la fe, el folclore y los espíritus prohibidos.
High Cotton, un antiguo edificio bancario bellamente restaurado en el Distrito Histórico de Charleston, es donde la elegancia, la riqueza y la rebelión una vez chocaron. Nombrado así por la frase sureña “vivir de algodón alto”, este hito refleja la prosperidad de la era del comercio del algodón de Charleston y el lujoso estilo de vida de la élite de la ciudad. Pero debajo de la atmósfera refinada se esconde una historia más polémica. La leyenda local conecta el edificio con la ardiente activista por la templanza Carry A. Nation, famosa por asaltar salones con un hacha de guerra durante su cruzada contra el alcohol a principios de 1900.
Rudy Royale refleja una historia animada, pero detrás de su encanto sureño moderno se encuentra una conexión con uno de los períodos más controvertidos en la historia de Estados Unidos: la prohibición. Durante la era de la 18a Enmienda, cuando la venta y producción de alcohol se convirtió en ilegal en todo Estados Unidos de 1920 a 1933, los bares y trastiendas de Charleston se transformaron en manantiales ocultos donde el licor continuó fluyendo a pesar de la ley federal. Charleston sigue siendo una ciudad que resistió tranquilamente, celebra ruidosamente y mantiene su espíritu lleno a puerta cerrada.

One very cool speakeasy, but the other two places we stopped at are just normal bars. Kendall was very knowledgeable and friendly the entire time. She did a wonderful job on our tour.
