Embark on a captivating journey with ABQ Trolley Co. as we cruise through the hidden world of Prohibition-era secrets with our exclusive Route 66 Speakeasy Tour. This immersive experience takes you back in time to the Roaring Twenties, where clandestine bars thrived in the shadows, serving up jazz, cocktails, and an air of rebellion.

Your journey will lead you to carefully selected speakeasies, tucked away in unassuming corners, accessible only to those in the know. These establishments are not just bars; they are portals to a bygone era, adorned with period-appropriate decor, jazz-filled ambiance, and bartenders skilled in crafting classic cocktails that once fueled the spirits of rebels and socialites alike.

Each speakeasy has its own unique charm and story to tell. You may find yourself in a dimly lit space adorned with vintage photographs and antique furniture, creating an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of the secret gatherings of the past.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a cocktail connoisseur, or someone simply seeking a unique and memorable experience, our Route 66 Speakeasy Tour promises an afternoon of intrigue, revelry, and a step back in time to an era where secret doorways and whispered passwords were the keys to a good time. Join us for an unforgettable exploration of the city's hidden treasures and toast to the resilience of those who kept the spirit of rebellion alive during the Prohibition era.

Light food will be provided at several locations but please eat before this cocktail-heavy experience. Guests will have time to enjoy a drink at each stop.
