Pasadena has had a long, complicated relationship with alcohol. Long before 1920s Prohibition, Pasadena prided itself on being a "Dry" community, which obviously meant that there was rampant rule-breaking everywhere you turned! On this tour, we'll explore the ups and the downs, the "drys" and the "wets," that have characterized this colorful slice of the Crown City's history.

​Our 2-hour walk will meander through Old Pasadena, including the alleyways that once hosted illegal drinking establishments. You'll hear stories about the upstanding pillars of society that shunned this particular vice and the rebels who embraced it.

Your ticket includes one period-appropriate cocktail (non-alcoholic option available) and we'll cap off the adventure by providing each guest with an exclusive guide to Old Town's modern speakeasies and top-notch bars, ensuring you raise a glass in style!
