Haunted Sites
A Louisville Original
True Crime.
Bourbon.
The Sisters.
The Stave House is Louisville's only rolling speakeasy — a converted bus carrying 20 guests through the city's darkest streets, past up to 12 real sites of murder, documented hauntings, and bourbon legends most tours are too afraid to tell.
"True crime lovers and bourbon enthusiasts flock to The Sisters. This is the perfect sinister date night — and Louisville's best-kept secret."
The Stave Sisters perform live in the main cabin aisle — between the bar partition and your seat — for the full 2.5 hours. They pour your flights, carry the mystery, and never break character. No restroom stops. No intermissions. No escape.
The Night Unfolds
The Itinerary
Every tour follows the same arc — but no two nights are ever the same. The Sisters improvise. The city breathes. The story lives.
The Gathering
Meet at the Omni Hotel — Falls City Beer Entrance, West Liberty Street side. Boarding opens 20 minutes before showtime. The Stave Sisters greet you in full character. No introductions. No explanations. The story has already begun.
The First Pour
The Stave House rolls into the dark. Your complimentary flight is poured — bourbon, wine, or beer — as the Sisters open the first chapter: a true account of Louisville's most notorious unsolved crime.
Twelve Sites. No Stops.
The bus moves through Louisville's darkest streets, pausing at up to 12 documented sites — real murders, prohibition-era secrets, and hauntings that never made the history books. You never leave the bus. The stories come to you.
The Sisters Take the Aisle
The Stave Sisters work the main cabin — the aisle between the bar partition and the seating is their stage. Expect them close. Expect them in character. Expect the unexpected.
The Darkest Story
The one most guests don't see coming. The Sisters deliver the final chapter as the city fades behind you. This is the story Louisville doesn't talk about.
The Society Induction
Every guest receives their Bourbon Stave Society membership card. You are now part of an exclusive brotherhood and sisterhood. What happens on The Stave House stays on The Stave House.

Before You Board
Questions
Is this tour actually scary?
✦
Yes — and intentionally so. The Stave Sisters draw from real Louisville murder cases, documented hauntings, and prohibition-era true crime. This is not a family ghost walk. It is an immersive adult experience designed to unsettle. True crime and bourbon lovers, this one's for you.
What is included in the ticket price?
✦
Your ticket includes one complimentary flight (bourbon, wine, or beer — your choice at boarding), Bourbon Stave Society membership, and 2.5 hours of live performance by The Stave Sisters across up to 12 haunted Louisville sites. Finger food add-ons are available at checkout.
Where does the tour depart from?
✦
Boarding is at the Omni Hotel — Falls City Beer Entrance on the West Liberty Street side (not the main hotel entrance). Boarding opens 20 minutes before showtime. The Stave House departs on schedule — no exceptions. If you are not a hotel guest, please be respectful of the Omni's facilities when passing through.
Are there restroom breaks?
✦
No. The Stave House does not stop for restroom breaks. We strongly recommend taking care of that before boarding. The experience runs approximately 2.5 hours.
Is there a minimum age?
✦
Guests must be 21+ with valid ID. This is an alcohol-serving, mature-content experience. No exceptions.
How many guests per tour?
✦
The Stave House is limited to 20 guests per tour. This is intentional — the intimacy of the experience depends on it. Book early; tours sell out weeks in advance.
Is this a good date night?
✦
It is the perfect date night. Sinister atmosphere, intimate seating, bourbon in hand, and stories that will have you gripping your date's arm. True crime lovers and bourbon enthusiasts have called it the best night out in Louisville.
Can I book a private tour?
✦
Yes. Private tours for groups, bachelorette parties, corporate events, and date nights are available. Contact us directly for private booking inquiries.
