About this experience
Turn downtown Nashville into a game. Drinkers & Thinkers is a guided bar crawl through Printer's Alley and Lower Broadway with a twist: at the final stop, the quiz drops. Timed, scored, and ranked against your group and the Nashville leaderboard, covering everything your host revealed along the way. The speakeasies that never respected Prohibition, the hauntings of Skull's Rainbow Room, who got banned from the Ryman stage. Pay attention. It is all on the quiz.
A bar crawl you play, not just walk: timed quiz, live scoring, Nashville leaderboard
Shot included at Alley Taps, in the heart of Printer's Alley
A route through downtown's most storied ground: the 1903 Arcade, Printer's Alley, and a Lower Broadway honky tonk finale
Shareable digital scorecard sent to your phone after the tour
Small group capped at 20 with a local host, not a 50-person herd
Ends in the middle of Lower Broadway, perfectly placed for the rest of your night

Itinerary and highlights
Meet your host, get the rules, and hear the first stories at Nashville's historic 1903 Arcade. Everything from here forward could be on the quiz.
The alley that out-drank Prohibition. Speakeasies, scandals, and country music's back pages as you walk it.
The most haunted address in Printer's Alley. We'll tell you the story and point out the window where it all went down.
Settle in for a drink and your included shot at one of the Alley's signature bars.
The Mother Church of Country Music and who got banned from its stage. Might be a question. Listen anyway.
Neon-strip stories on the walk to the finale.
The showdown. The quiz drops, the clock runs, the leaderboard reveals, winners are crowned, and your scorecard hits your phone while you're standing in the middle of Broadway with the whole night ahead of you.
We'll end the tour right in the heart of the action on Lower Broadway!
