Mobile in the 1920s: Speakeasies & Rum Runners 

Guests will enjoy 3 hand-crafted cocktails and hear about the secret history of Mobile during this Prohibition-themed walking tour. Hear stories about speakeasies, rum runners, and moonshiners who kept the drinks flowing and the party going even as Federal agents, ministers, and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union swore to end drinking.

During the Jazz Age Mobile was a wet and wild place, full of speakeasies and gin joints. Finally Federal agents brought the party to a grinding halt and by the end of the decade the Azalea City was in the grip of the Great Depression. Prohibition was an epic battle that turned Catholic against Protestant and urban against rural America—forever changing the social fabric of our country.
