-- Nashville Adventures, the city’s only veteran-owned and operated tour company, has announced the official launch of its latest offering, the Ultimate Music & Moonshine Pub Crawl. This 2½-hour walking tour explores the cultural and historical layers that define Nashville, with a focus on the city’s music legacy and Southern spirits—Moonshine and Tennessee Whiskey.
Designed to appeal to both newcomers and long-time residents, the new Nashville Pub Crawl serves as more than just a nightlife excursion. It presents an immersive exploration of how Nashville earned its title as "Music City" while inviting participants to experience authentic venues, taste locally crafted spirits, and connect with the city’s rhythm on a deeper level.
A Cultural and Historical Walk Through Music City
The crawl begins with a guided walk through lower Broadway, where participants are introduced to the roots of Nashville’s musical heritage. Guests learn about the rise of country music, the legends that shaped it, and the historical venues that still echo with stories of earlier eras. The tour blends personal storytelling with lesser-known anecdotes, offering a textured understanding of the city's transformation from a frontier town into a cultural capital of American music.
Lead guide and Nashville Adventures founder, Paul Whitten, emphasizes that the tour is not just about entertainment. “It’s about understanding how Nashville came to be—not just the music, but the people, the stories, and the struggles that shaped the place. And it’s told over the backdrop of the very drinks and sounds that made this city famous,” Whitten explains.
Spotlight on Southern Spirits
Central to the experience are curated tastings of Moonshine and Tennessee Whiskey. The group stops at an iconic Broadway honky-tonk to sample traditional Moonshine—a spirit historically tied to the Prohibition era and rural ingenuity. The tour then visits Broadway’s only operational distillery, offering guests the chance to taste Tennessee Whiskey while learning about the distinct production process that sets it apart from bourbon and other American whiskeys.
These tastings are not framed as party stops, but as cultural experiences that reflect the region’s complicated and colorful history with alcohol, prohibition, and bootlegging. By rooting these moments in context, the tour encourages participants to reflect on the deeper narratives behind the drinks they enjoy.
Live Music in Its Natural Habitat
A final feature of the crawl is an intimate stop at a live music venue where local musicians perform in the casual, unrehearsed spirit Nashville is known for. Rather than offering a polished stage show, the experience captures the spontaneous and authentic feel of Nashville’s live music scene. It’s less about performance and more about community—a core principle that Nashville Adventures seeks to uphold in its programming.
What Makes the Tour Distinct
Unlike typical commercial pub crawls, Nashville Adventures operates with a focus on small group sizes, ensuring that each participant can engage meaningfully with the guide and the content. This format encourages questions, shared reflections, and a deeper sense of camaraderie among attendees. The tour also deliberately selects stops that are rich in character but not necessarily on the radar of the average visitor.
Another distinguishing factor is its veteran-led operation. The company brings a strong sense of discipline, storytelling tradition, and community values to its offerings. “Being veteran-owned influences how we approach these tours,” says Whitten. “It’s about service, and it’s about giving people a real, memorable connection to Nashville.”
A Platform for Personal and Social Connection
Guests have praised the tour for its thoughtful pacing, quality of content, and personable guides. A recent Tripadvisor reviewer noted, “This is not to be missed when visiting Nashville! We had so much fun and learned about the rich history of the beginnings of Nashville from the music scene, prohibition, and the historic figures that made it what it is today. Paul was incredibly personable, funny, and kind.”
The Ultimate Music & Moonshine Pub Crawl is available for nightly departures and can be customized for private groups, including corporate events, bachelorette parties, and themed gatherings.
