Sixth Street Historic District, Austin
Nightly Spirits operates ghost walks and haunted pub crawls in roughly 20 cities nationwide under a single brand. Its Austin program focuses on Sixth Street, the city's historic entertainment corridor, pairing the operator's account of the district's violent history with a guided pub crawl.
Eater Austin covered the company's Austin launch, describing it as taking small groups to several supposedly haunted downtown bars with themed drinks and stories, at an introductory $25 ticket price. Nightly Spirits states it has been voted a top-rated U.S. ghost tour by USA Today in multiple years and maintains an active Tripadvisor review presence for its Austin tours.
Sources
The operator's Austin page frames the Booze and Boos Tour around "gruesome murders, accidental deaths, and spirits that just won't leave" on Sixth Street, without naming specific bars in its own site copy (independent press coverage separately named a couple of specific bars visited on the tour, not repeated here since it is not the operator's own attributed claim). Background material on the same page names the Texas State Capitol, The Driskill Hotel, and the O. Henry Museum as some of the city's most haunted destinations.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
Media Appearances
