History never tasted so wicked! A bone-chilling dive into the criminal heart of Charleston—a city steeped in elegance, drenched in secrets, and soaked in blood. From the cobblestones of colonial corruption to the courtrooms of a sensational modern-day murder, this tour serves up centuries of true crime with a twist of lime and a shot of audacity. Led by our fearless guides, you’ll prowl the streets where con men, killers, and crooked aristocrats once ruled, stopping at some of Charleston’s finest bars to sip your way through its most scandalous chapters. You’ll uncover tales that Charleston would rather leave buried— tabloid-worthy tragedies that still echo through the alleyways. Thirsty? Good. You’ll need a strong drink for what you’re about to hear. Cocktails are available for purchase at every stop—because dark stories go down better with a stiff pour. If you have 7 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with our the private & group sales coordinator.

Q&A

Q: Is the Bay Street Bastards Pub Crawl good for people who don’t drink alcohol?

A: Absolutely! While the tour features bars and drinks, you can definitely just enjoy the historical stories and skip the cocktails. Some bars may offer non-alcoholic options, but check in with your guide beforehand to see what they recommend. It’s a unique way to experience Charleston's dark history, even without the booze.

Q: How long does the tour usually last, and what should I wear?

A: The tour usually lasts about 2-3 hours, but it can vary depending on the group size and pace. Wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking on cobblestones and might be standing a bit in the bars. Charleston’s weather can be unpredictable, so I’d recommend layers and maybe a light jacket if it gets chilly in the evening.

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up? What’s the policy?

A: Yes! You can usually reschedule, but it’s best to contact the tour provider directly as early as possible. They’re generally pretty accommodating, but policies can change, so double-check with Revelry Tours. If you cancel last minute, you might lose your spot, so plan accordingly!

Just did the Bay Street Bastards Pub Crawl—so worth it!

I went on the Bay Street Bastards Pub Crawl last weekend, and wow, it was amazing! The stories about Charleston's dark past are just wild, especially the one about the old courthouse. Our guide was super engaging, and the drinks at the bars were strong! I went with a few friends, and we all had a blast. Definitely a unique way to explore the city! 🎉

Considering gifting the pub crawl to my boyfriend!

I’m thinking about getting the Bay Street Bastards Pub Crawl for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves history and cocktails, and this seems right up his alley! Anyone know if it’s good for a couple? Also, do you think it’s better to go on a weekend or weekday?
