Step back in time—and into the shadows—for ABQ Trolley Co.’s special November 1st Spookeasy Tour!
The night after Halloween still hums with mischief, and we’re keeping the spirit alive with a wicked twist on our classic Route 66 Speakeasy Tour. Slip into the Roaring Twenties, where secret passwords, hidden bars, and a dash of danger made every night an adventure.
Your journey winds through the city’s clandestine corners, uncovering speakeasies that blend vintage glamour with a hint of the macabre. Think jazz, classic cocktails, and low-lit lounges dressed in their darkly elegant best—perfect for those who like their history with a splash of mystery.
Each stop reveals its own secrets, from Prohibition-era tales of rebellion to the craft and charm of today’s hidden watering holes. Sip, savor, and soak in the atmosphere as we toast to the rule-breakers, the revelers, and those who know that sometimes the best parties happen behind closed doors.
So dust off your fedora or flapper dress, whisper the password, and climb aboard for an evening of intrigue, indulgence, and Prohibition-style fun. The Spookeasy Tour proves that on the night after Halloween, the spirits may rest—but the party goes on.
Light food will be provided at several locations but please eat before this cocktail-heavy experience. Guests will have time to enjoy a drink at each stop.
