Small Group Walking Bar Tour

About this activity

Join us on an unforgettable walking bar tour along Detroit’s legendary Woodward Avenue, where you’ll explore 3-4 well traveled watering holes. From sleek cocktail lounges to time-honored dive bars, this experience blends the best of Detroit’s nightlife with its rich, gritty, and fascinating history.

Led by a fun, knowledgeable local guide, you’ll hear tales of Prohibition, the evolution of Detroit’s legendary bar scene, and the city’s musical and industrial roots—all while sipping craft cocktails, local brews, or whatever suits your taste. Along the way, we’ll stop for photo ops at landmarks like Hart Plaza & The Spirit of Detroit.

Note we also do private tours, please message us for details.
