Get a taste for Philadelphia’s local craft brewery culture on this small-group walking tour during happy hour! Soak up the lively atmosphere as you walk to three bars tailored to the group’s vibe. Sample a full-sized beer at each place, enjoy a delicious snack and learn all about the local bar scene from your friendly guide.
Meet across from Philadelphia's City Hall in the evening and soak up the buzzing atmosphere as people conclude their work day. Like many of them, you’ll head to your first happy hour destination.
With your guide, choose three bars to fit the group’s interests, preferences and vibe. For instance, you can head to an Irish pub with a local flare or visit the oldest continuously operating bar in the city, dating back to 1860, where the beer is crafted just steps away from your table.
Some of the places you may visit include Philadelphia Brewing Company, Victory, Yards, Troegs, Flying Fish, Sly Fox, Dogfish Head, Nodding Head and Dock Street Brewing Company. Your guide will tell you about the history of each bar you visit, and explain the culture of this city’s craft breweries.
One full-sized beer at each bar is included, as well as small appetizers. After happy hour, end your beer tour at Rittenhouse Square, a perfect location for you to continue your beer journey or grab some dinner on your own.
We really enjoyed our Pub Crawl. Not only did you get 3 amazing beers, but you got history and tips for traveling in the area. This was a great idea to the first night, you get to see the city first hand. We actually went back to the one of the bars during our stay to have lunch and a beer. We would have never known about it without the tour. Our guide Nick was amazing and very informative. I highly recommend this to anyone, you will not be disappointed.

An excellent Philly experience! We really enjoyed this tour with Chuck. He was a really nice, personable guy and extremely knowledgable about the area and it's history. The locations we experienced were like hidden gems that we would have not found on our own, and gave us a really nice look at the local and historical feel of the area. The beers were also fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour :

Our guide Chris made the evening a lot of fun. We went to some terrific pubs that we never would have found on our own. This tour is a great way to learn about the city and drink beer.

Trevor was awesome!! Very knowledgeable not only about the history of the pubs and the beers, but Philadelphia as well. He even marked some other nearby sights on our map for us to see while we were in the area and a place for dinner. Although I'm not a craft beer lover booked it for my husband, Trevor managed to find one I loved in every location.
