Speakeasy Tavern, Austin

For a not-so-typical take on Austin history, visitors can experience the ghastly tales of this historic city on this storyteller-led haunted walking tour. Get ready for a good scare as you head out for your nighttime adventure to uncover tales of ghosts, murderers, and the spooky stories in between. Stop at haunted attractions, including the Driskill Hotel, and hear about how Austin has developed over the decades. Tours depart from the historic (and haunted) Speakeasy Tavern located at 412 Congress Ave. downtown Austin. This building has been standing since the 1880s and was once the home of the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Co. It stood during the great fire of 1916, which has fueled some of Austins most enduring ghost stories. You can wait inside near the front windows for your guide. Or, we will meet you out front next to our Ghost Walk Austin sign. Expert storytellers, exclusive access to one of Austins most haunted taverns, spine chilling tales in the lobby of the legendary Driskill Hotel, paranormal photographs that need to be seen to be believed. Ghost Walk Austin is a hauntingly good tour!
