Uncover St. Paul's Iconic Bars

Alcohol and St. Paul are like peas and carrots – there really is no better pairing. Since the very early days when famed bootlegger ‘Pig's Eye Parrant’ served off-duty soldiers from Fort Snelling, imbibing has been a part of this city’s culture, and you’ll learn it on this three-hour bar crawl of our capital city. In this walking tour you’ll discover four bars and learn the city’s history as you do so. One of the best ways to discover a city is through its watering holes, and you’ll do just that as you find the walk (or stumble) your way through St. Paul’s story. ——— NOTE: This tour visits the four best bars on the day of your departure. Your tour guide will customise your route based on the group size, the time of year, and the weather. Bars listed above are indicative of the types of bars we visit, but we will only visit four bars in total.
