Nashville Dark History Cocktail Tour

Bordellos, Burlesque, and Blood is a cocktail tour designed to imbibe guests with some of the lesser known, darker, seedier, more macabre history of downtown Nashville.
This curated journey reveals some of the more scandalous and obscure local histories, including vintage true crime, exotic entertainment, and murders. Our specially trained guides will lead you past [almost] forgotten historical landmarks, giving you time to drink in the sights, sounds, and sometimes smells of downtown. We’ll shed light some of the darker aspects of Nashville’s past in a spirited, walking experience you’ll be sure to remember.
