Q&A

Q: Can you tell me more about the cocktail options included in the tour?

A: Sure! You get two handcrafted cocktails on the tour. The Prohibition cocktail at the Ritual House is a must-try, super creative and delicious. Then, at the Rebel Room, you get a classic Old Fashioned. Both places have great vibes, and the cocktails really tie in with the whiskey history you're learning about!

Q: Is this experience good for people who are not whiskey experts?

A: Definitely! This tour is designed for everyone, whether you know a lot about whiskey or are just starting out. The guides explain everything in a fun way and there's no pressure to be an expert. Plus, the history part is super interesting and engages everyone!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it mostly outside?

A: It's mostly outdoors, so I suggest wearing comfortable shoes since you'll be walking around downtown. The weather can be a bit unpredictable, so layering is key! And maybe dress it up a little for the cocktail spots, but nothing too formal. Just be comfy and ready to enjoy!

Just went on the Whiskey Rebellion & Prohibition Tour in Pittsburgh!

I took the Whiskey Rebellion & Prohibition Tour last weekend, and it was awesome! Our guide was super knowledgeable about Pittsburgh's history with whiskey, and the cocktails at Ritual House and Rebel Room were incredible. The Old Fashioned was so good, I could’ve had three! The stories about Prohibition and the local speakeasies were fascinating too. Definitely a great experience for anyone interested in history or cocktails!

Considering gifting the Whiskey Tour for my boyfriend's birthday!

I’m thinking of getting the Whiskey Rebellion & Prohibition Tour for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves whiskey and history! Just wanted to know if anyone has done it lately? How's the vibe? Is it worth it? I wanna make sure it's a good experience before I fork over the cash!
