Boston by Foot Tipsy Tour: Dram Shops & Drunken Sailors

Join Boston By Foot on the first Thursday of May, June, July, August,

September and October at 6pm by the boat dock beside 290 Congress St. for the Tipsy Tour – a tour about booze in Boston! Meets rain or shine.

The Tipsy Tour: Dram Shops & Drunken Sailors is not a pub crawl. It’s an hour and a half

walking tour that describes the importance of booze to Boston throughout history – you’ll hear

about some early drinks like Kill Devil, grog and applejack; how Madeira wine got John Hancock

in hot water; and how Boston played a major role in the creation of the first cocktails.

$15.00 (Members $5.00) Buy tickets from your guide or at Boston by Foot.org.
