“There is every kind of tour imaginable in Charleston, from carriage rides and historic jaunts to ghost walks, but our group was fortunate enough to have, uh, stumbled onto a pub tour.”
--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
About the Tour
- Based upon the popular pub tours in Europe, The Original Pub Tour of Charleston, was founded in 2001, making it the first European style pub tour ever to be established in the city.
- These are some of Charleston’s most fascinating pubs—the ones that most visitors would never even know about on their own!
- Begins at Tommy Condon’s Irish pub at 158 Church Street near the market, to start with some authentic Irish fare and a brew; then, we proceed to several other pubs, all within a few blocks, to sample some local micro-brews and talk about some history. Tour times are 4pm and 7pm each day of the week. Tour lasts about two hours and advanced purchase is required.
- Being the only Pub Tour whose owners are experienced beer brewers, Lesesne Tours accompanies our guests inside each unique pub, where we can sit, relax, and have a beverage and some complimentary appetizers included for everyone, while telling some fascinating stories about the city’s 300+ years of times past.
- We provide a very intimate, specialized tour by keeping a small group size, and ensuring a personalized experience for all. We believe in quality over quantity so that everyone can enjoy a delightful, comfortable atmosphere during the course of the two hour journey.
- Come listen to true tales of bootleggers, ghosts, revolutionaries, presidents, and pirates who caroused the very streets on which you are walking. Get your healthy dose of Charleston’s history from the historic taverns and former speakeasies, to the rooftop pubs and breweries overlooking the magnificent harbor.
- The ticket price is $30.00 per person. We buy the food; however, LTC does not, by SC law, provide any alcoholic beverages for its patrons. Group discounts and private specialty tours are available for groups large or small (wedding parties, family occasions, birthday celebrations and more).
- Advanced purchase is required, & we often sell out quickly, so it is strongly recommended that you buy our Charleston Pub Tour tickets online or call Zerve at (800) 979-3370.
- The Original Pub Tour of Charleston is the most unique, intimate, and exciting way to capture the feel of our spirited city.
