Overview

From the creative team of 5-star pub crawls 'Cryptids & Creatures' and 'A Christmas Carol' in Asheville comes the newest tour: 'Watson's SOS! A Sherlockian Pub Crawl in Asheville' - a murder mystery experience set against the backdrop of Asheville's legendary South Slope brewery scene.
You're not just along for the ride - Watson needs you! Sherlock has vanished mid-case, the murders haven't stopped, so Dr. Watson is desperately recruiting the sharpest minds he can find.
That's where you come in: move bar to bar through some of Asheville's best craft beer destinations, gathering clues, cracking codes, and channeling your inner detective - guided every step of the way by a seasoned, unflappable Watson who keeps the story alive from the first pint to the final reveal.
This isn't dinner theater - it's a living, breathing mystery that puts you in the starring role!

*Brewery stops are subject to change due to events or availability at individual venues.

What to expect

  1. Green Man Brewery
    30m
    Watson kicks off the crawl with the most urgent telegram ever read over a pint. Facts are presented & troops are rallied: making it clear the game is very much afoot.
  2. Urban Orchard Cider Co
    30m
    Gather evidence, decode Sherlock's cryptic notes, and piece together the mystery one pint at a time
  3. 30m
    Interact with the story - Watson needs your instincts, your deductions, and occasionally your willingness to argue loudly about a clue
  4. Antidote Coffee & Cocktails
    30m
    At the final venue, the group makes its case - and Watson reveals whether you've cracked it or let a killer walk free. Either way, the night ends with a toast worthy of Baker Street.
