We had a 7pm tour. No one showed up. We called and were told the time had changed to 4pm. We did not get any communication about the time change..
We saw just 3 bars. Tour guide did not go with us to 4th destination. He provided an address with no further instructions. When we got there, the place was locked. If it’s a secret bar… how does one find it without a guide? Disappointed with communication and interaction with our guide.

Even being locals we went to places we have never been and met wonderful people.
Great Philly spots!

Great tour - the bars chosen were excellent and very unique. The last spot was truly amazing! Greg was also really fun as a guide!
Stephen_P, Jan 2026
Matthew was a great guide! We picked a rough weekend right after the New Year when everything is quiet, but Matthew went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Cool bars and great conversations.

Great tour, great guide, we loved all the bars we went to but two stood out from the others. The tequila shot was at the first bar and it is a gay bar. That first bar was risky not really knowing the people that you’re gonna be taking on the tour that’s the only reason it didn’t get five stars.

I booked this tour during a business trip to Philly. Congrats to me, what a great idea! I met my guide, George, on the street near the first stop. He informed me that his other guests had canceled, so I was going to get a private tour. Woooo! What a night! I definitely experienced some bars I’d likely never had discovered on my own. George and I talked all night about drinking, life, and love. Thanks for a fabulous evening!

Fun experience and a good way to get to try out a few different bars in Philly and meet some new people. Matthew was an excellent tour guide.
William_W, Oct 2025
Such a great experience! This night was so well thought out and offered a unique perspective to some amazing locations. A genuine connection and long lasting memories!
Erin_G, Oct 2025
Matthew was great! Fun experience! A good way to get to know a little of the city and not have to do the research yourself.
monique_l, Sep 2025
The tour guide was amazing.. I loved the bars we went too. The bars were trendy and hip. I had a great time.
Lisa_C, Sep 2025
This tour was a lot of fun. Tried out 4 totally different bars. Met lots of new people. Our guide Matthew did a great job as well.
William_K, Aug 2025
Matt was attentive to our needs. Our drinking capacity limited our crawl to 3 stops unfortunately. We were expecting more insight about the city as we walked the streets. Better suited for a younger crowd.
Jeff_S, Apr 2025
The tour guides are amazing and funny. You get to know some history about the city and go to some really awesome bars while having drinks along the way. The experience is awesome! You interact with the other people on the tour. You get to play a lot of fun games. If your in Philadelphia you have to do this fun tour!
Joann_H, Apr 2025
This tour is a must do if you are looking for good libations in hard to find places. We visited multiple locations some inaccessible without a guide. All had great vibes and amazing drinks. If you are visiting philly and are looking for a good time this tour is for you.
Dan_R, Mar 2025
This was so good! Even as a Philadelphia local they took us to bars that we didn’t even think about! The tour guides were awesome and made sure it was a fun experience
Teresa_W, Mar 2025
The tour guide took us to cool bars but provided no information on why he chose the bars. When we asked questions his answers were short with no information. He was a nice person
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Dear Teresa,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your tour guide didn't provide enough information about the bars. We're taking steps to fix this by:
Providing extra training on venue history and storytelling.
Updating our tour guide guidelines.
We hope you'll give us another chance to show you a better experience.
Sincerely,
The Booze Brothers Tours Team

Tour guide Mike was awesome.
Location was great, footsteps from our hotel. Got to experience several bars. Great job managing the crowds of Erin Express and St Patty’s day. Mike did a good job getting the group out of crowds and into good experiences.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hey Sandra, Philly can get crazy during St Patricks day. We know it was busy, and we're sorry it wasn't perfect. We're working on improving our tours during high-volume events. We hope you'll try us again on a less crowded day.
AnneMarie_W, Dec 2024
Fantastic experience! Our tour host was great, and one of the owners joined us for a few stops as well. Great variety of spots, including some back rooms and such that we wouldn't have found on our own. A couple of places had great food menus, kinda wish I hadn't wolfed down a bowl of ramen right before (although it was good to have some buffer; I'm not generally a big drinker, but the pace was decent enough to not get carried away). The other folks on the tour were fun and up for adventure, which was nice as a solo traveler - we're meeting up again at a museum this morning! Overall a perfect first evening in Philly.
Wendy_H, Jul 2024
It was completely disorganized. We went to four bars, they were all nondescript and learned nothing about the venues. I know it wasn’t a history tour, but I was looking for at least a bit of information. I can walk the streets of Philly and find my own bars for free.
DAVID_M, May 2024
Diverse group and bars, definitely recommend to anyone looking to party and check out hip spots in Philly
Vannessa_P, May 2024
Greg our tour guide was amazing. He was great with little trivia information and knowledgeable of the bars he took us to. The weather started off with rain, but it did not stop anyone from having a great time. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
Tracy_K, Mar 2024
What a fun night. We had a small group and all became fast friends. The places were all pretty cool spots with great drinks
George was a great guide. Great decision for St Patrick’s day weekend. We had an absolute blast. Highly recommend.
Shawn_B, Mar 2024
Awesome experience! Great bars and fantastic drinks. Great date night with my wife. Would definitely recommend
Bridget_Z, Mar 2024
George was a wonderful guide - the bars were all different and we enjoyed them all. Highly recommend.
Josef_K, Nov 2023
Best bar tour of my life. Extreme fun every second. Surpassed my wildest expectations. Knowledgable, safe and dependable guys. The Booze brothers made our night. Seriously considering more tour choices on viator as result. What a wealth of fun and info. GEORGE AND D Were amazing.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
You cant comprehend how much we appreciate reading reviews like yours Josef. We try so hard to make our customers happy with our experience. I truly hope you come back and experience our others tours across Philly as well.

My friend and I were in town for the Eagles game and decided to take this tour. We had a great time with the host and the others on the tour. You're not going to see the touristy spots on this tour, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the Philadelphia area looking for a casual night out for some drinks with some cool people.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
We really appreciate it. Hope to see you again soon!
Jeff_S, Oct 2023
That was the best tour ever!!! George was so cool and knowledgeable about all the places we went. All the bars were so cool! Plus he told us some other history about Philadelphia and great places to eat and things to do! I would recommend everyone that comes to Philadelphia to go on this tour! It was awesome!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Awe shucks, but it wasnt us that made it awesome. It was all you!
Lisa_E, Oct 2023
What a great night! We went to Philly with our adult kids for an Eagles game. We booked this tour the night before and had a great time! Good mix of different types of bars. Great tour guides, George and Dee were awesome!! I would definitely recommend this tour for a fun night!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thanks Lisa, we really appreciate it!

We went as a group of 7 family members. The tour is a good idea but leaves the possibility of disastrous consequences, which we witnessed. One person in the group got way too intoxicated. The leaders tried their best to be good hosts but lack experience with entertaining all ages of clients. The bars were not at all impressive and there was only food available at the first stop, even though we were told that there would be food at multiple stops. So we didn’t eat very much. Thats a risky proposition with so many drinking opportunities throughout the night.
Please re-evaluate the structure of this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We apologize that this was your experience. Some times guest can become intoxicated, these guest are swiftly helped. I personally walked this guest outside to ensure their safety. For this specific tour with larger groups (15) we attend locations that can entertain these amounts. For example we attended karaoke. At the end of the night, all guest returned home safe. Our tour is curated to be completed from start to finish. We were sorry to see you leave early and miss out on some of our favorite spots.
