The Only Grown-Ups Pub Crawl in Nashville: Where Whiskey History Meets a Damn Good Time
If you're coming to Nashville for a night out, chances are you'll end up on Broadway. Neon lights, honky tonks, party buses—it's the stuff of country song legends and bachelorette party dreams. But what if your idea of fun involves a little more story with your whiskey? A night where the drinks are strong, the company sharp, and the conversation laced with history, not just hollerin'? Welcome to Nashville Adventures' Pub Crawl—the only Nashville pub crawl that blends Music City's deep whiskey roots with grown-up good times. This isn't your average bar hop. It's a guided tour through the spirited past of Tennessee's most storied drink, crafted for people who want their bourbon neat and their stories compelling. While other pub crawls in Nashville might lean into gimmicks and glitter, Nashville Adventures pulls something stronger off the shelf: history. This is the only Nashville Pub Crawl that embraces the real story of Tennessee whiskey, moonshine runners, speakeasies, and the wild men (and women) who built the state's reputation on the back of a barrel. Each stop on the crawl is chosen not just for the drink list—but for the story it helps tell. From Civil War generals who used whiskey for battlefield surgeries, to Prohibition-era bootleggers who ran routes across state lines, our guides pour out the past with every glass. Let's be honest—there are plenty of booze-fueled tours in town, but this is the one where you don't have to worry about getting hit by a pedal tavern. Nashville Adventures curates an experience that's equal parts social and smart. Our groups are smaller. Our guides are seasoned. And our humor is sharp enough to keep everyone laughing between sips. This isn't for folks trying to drink their age in Jell-O shots. It's for the curious crowd. The kind who ask what makes Tennessee whiskey different from bourbon, or why moonshine played such a huge role in rural Tennessee's economy. It's for grown-ups —in spirit, not just in age. This pub crawl is rooted in something deeper than a happy hour. Tennessee's whiskey history is inseparable from its cultural identity. The limestone-filtered water. The Scotch-Irish distilling techniques. The rebellion of small-batch distillers who defied prohibition. It's not just about alcohol—it's about American grit . On this crawl, we toast those rebels. We walk the alleys and backstreets where Nashville's liquid legacy was formed. And we sip the spirits that tell a bigger story about the South, its music, its politics, and its people. Led by Locals, Not Scripts : Every guide is a trained storyteller who knows Nashville inside and out—not someone reading from a printout. : Every guide is a trained storyteller who knows Nashville inside and out—not someone reading from a printout.

Gator Creek review – blood-lust in the bayou with drug-crazed killer reptiles
While shark-attack flicks hog the limelight, crocodile and alligator ones get comparatively little love, despite a long history from 1980's Alligator to 1999's Lake Placid to 2019 Netflix film Crawl. This mostly ludicrous but fitfully enjoyable entry plays like a Donald Trump meat-fever dream; after DEA agents bust a Louisiana everglades drug factory, the Ribena-coloured run-off leaks into the waterways, creating a strain of super-aggressive alligators. Lead prospective morsel in the human chum bucket is biology student Kyle (Athena Strates), who's heading into the wilderness to scatter her brother's ashes. Her obnoxious pal Malika (Elisha Applebaum) – a female Steven Stifler – books them on a light aircraft, despite Kyle's fear of flying. With everyone oblivious to wingnut pilot Frank (Andonis Anthony) essentially being Quint from Jaws, the flight nosedives into the bayou. And with Frank's operation unchartered, no mobile phone coverage and a swamp teeming with reptiles, they are fresh out of gator aid. From the sun-baked old-timer round the back of the 7/11 crowing over a super-sized saurian, Gator Creek has reptilian-cortex bloodlust switched on from the get-go. Too much, to be honest; on the evidence of the film's spasmodic plotting, it seems like writers Ashley Holberry and Gavin Cosmo Mehrtens have been sipping the purple run-off themselves. A spat over a mobile phone with a cartoon financial trader improbably causes the plane to crash. With Kyle's bestie Alice (Madalena Aragão) filching a batch of lizard eggs, the film appears to give the slaughter a behavioural explanation. But it's completely forgotten until the drug-den finale when, with Kyle in her singlet facing down angry mama gator, the film suddenly seems to think it's Aliens. Without a sensible guiding hand, a punch-drunk dissonance takes hold of proceedings. Kyle tries to dispense zoological knowledge as a way out of their predicament, which becomes superfluous when events boil down to a rabid reptile rugby scrum. Directors Taneli Mustonen and Brad Watson show bursts of proficiency, with drone shots of metallic-looking glades and interesting tilt-shift effects for the plane crash. But they are alongside some of the most laughable practical effects imaginable: such as the man-trap gator jaws someone unwittingly sticks their head into. Of course there are the copious gorehound kills to latch on to, but Gator Creek is liable to leave you, like its cast, with an unsavoury residue on your hands. Gator Creek is on digital platforms from 24 March.
