Spooky Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl

Savannah gets spooky, and you get to bar-hop. This is a walking haunted pub crawl that mixes ghost stories with real hangout time. You’ll hit historic landmarks, then stop at haunted pubs where you can grab a drink and keep moving.

I really like the simple setup: a guide leading you from sight to sight, then giving you time to order and chat. It’s a good match if you want history with a party pulse, not a sit-and-listen lecture.

The one real consideration is that it’s mostly outdoors walking, so dress for the weather. On cold nights, you may wish you could linger inside more during the talk.

Key Things You’ll Notice Right Away

• Haunted walk through the Colonial District with multiple story stops
• Four haunted pub stops built into the route
• Start at 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant and end near Colonial Park Cemetery
• Group size cap of 30, with a lively mixed-group vibe
• Guides vary, and the story delivery style can feel more or less theatrical depending on who leads your night

What This Haunted Pub Crawl Is Really Like

This tour is not just a ghost walk, and it is not just a bar crawl. It’s a blend. You’re paying for two things: a guided route through Savannah’s historic maze and organized time to visit classic pubs. The timing matters too. Expect about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, with stops along the way that keep you from wandering off on your own.

The price, $33 per person, is straightforward. Drinks are not included, so you should treat the tour fee as the cost of the guide, the route, and the themed “why are these places creepy” context. If you plan to buy at least one drink, it can feel like a good value for a planned night out. If you’re hoping the ticket alone covers the fun inside the bars, this probably won’t match your expectations.

One thing I appreciate here is that the tour is adult-only. Minimum age is 21, which keeps the crowd in the right lane for a pub-focused experience.

The Route: From 17Hundred90 to Colonial Park Cemetery

You’ll start at 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, 307 E President St, right at 7:30 pm. That’s a smart meeting point because it anchors you in the middle of the action, and it gives the evening an immediate theme before you even set off.

The tour ends at Colonial Park Cemetery (200 Abercorn St), and sometimes near Chippewa Square. That ending is a nice touch. You start with an infamous historic tavern atmosphere, then finish in one of the most haunting-feeling places in town.

Also, Savannah’s historic district is walkable, but you should still assume it will be a real stroll. Most travelers can participate, but the tour is not recommended for mobility issues.

Stop 1: Colonial Park Cemetery and the Weight of Two Scars

Your first major stop is Colonial Park Cemetery, the oldest municipal cemetery in the US. The story thread here centers on two groups tied to Savannah’s hardest chapters: Revolutionary War soldiers and Yellow Fever victims.

This is the kind of stop that does two jobs. First, it grounds the spooky theme in places that actually mattered. Second, it sets the emotional tone before the pubs. If your goal is a haunted night with real context, this is a strong opener.

Practical note: it’s listed as about 15 minutes. That means you get enough time for the atmosphere and the story, but not so long that you lose the momentum of a pub crawl.

Drawback to consider: depending on the season, cemeteries are exposed, and the talk portion may feel chilly. If you’re sensitive to cold, plan for layers.

Stop 2: Wright Square, the Old Hanging Square

Next up is Wright Square, known as the old hanging square. This is one of those Savannah sites where the legend doesn’t feel like a random ghost story. It feels like it belongs to the town’s history.

This stop also keeps the “haunted geography” idea strong. You’re not only learning where people lived, you’re learning about how violence, fear, and punishment were part of the street-level reality.

It’s also a 15-minute stop. So you’ll be there long enough to understand the core story, then you move on to the fun part.

If you’re expecting a heavy, theatrical performance with nonstop monologues, Wright Square is better understood as a brief, story-supported landmark moment.

The Missing Stops That Matter: City Market and River Street Area

The route also includes stops at the heart of Savannah’s City Market and then just above Riverstreet. Even without extra time stamps for those two moments, you can treat them as your “Savannah flavor” breaks between the more cemetery and execution-lore stops.

City Market is the kind of place where the crowds and the architecture help the evening feel alive, even when you’re in spooky mode. And being near River Street keeps you tied to one of Savannah’s signature areas, so the night doesn’t feel like a sequence of dark backdrops. It feels like you’re weaving through the city itself.

Because the tour is a pub crawl, these areas also function like pacing tools. You’re transitioning from story intensity to bar energy. That makes the evening easier to enjoy without burning out on lore.

Four Haunted Pubs, Drink Time Built In

The big payoff is the pub hopping. The tour includes four haunted pubs, and the format is simple: you stop, you order, you listen, you mingle, then you head to the next place.

Drinks are not included, so this is where your own spending decides how expensive your night becomes. The good news is that many people report it’s reasonably easy to keep the flow going, and you don’t get stuck waiting forever between stops. One review even mentioned that it was nice being able to bring your drink along if you had not finished it when it was time to move on.

One practical value of having planned pub stops is crowd control. Savannah’s popular bars can be busy. On a structured route, you’re usually not arriving alone at the worst time. That makes a difference when you only have about two hours total.

Guides: Where the Night Can Get Extra Fun

Your experience will hinge a lot on your guide. That’s true for almost any tour in any city, but here it matters because the night depends on story timing and group energy.

Some guide names that show up in the feedback include Hoodoo Joe, Hot Rod Rick, Madame Redrum (also spelled similarly in multiple notes), Penny Dreadful, Lazarus, and Esmerelda. The strongest praise points to guides who mix Savannah lore with humor and keep the group engaged through the walk.

You’ll also want to know that the tour style can vary. One common theme in the best ratings is that the guide is interactive and story-led, not just pointing at buildings. On the other hand, a couple of lower ratings mentioned fewer ghost stories than expected or more time spent chatting in spots rather than delivering a stronger story arc.

So here’s a useful way to set your expectations:

• If you want a pub crawl with organized haunted stops, this can be a blast.
• If you want a traditional ghost tour with nonstop, scripted chilling tales, you might be happier with a more purely haunted option.

How the Timing Works When It Feels Cold or Crowded

Two issues came up in real feedback: weather and group size.

Weather: because this is an outdoor walk, cold nights can make the talking parts uncomfortable. If you’re booking for winter, bring a warm outer layer even if you think Savannah will be mild. When the air bites, you’ll feel it between stops.

Crowd factor: the tour has a maximum of 30 travelers. Some people loved the energy of a bigger group. Others felt a larger group makes the pacing looser, with less room for individual attention. Also, busy bar lines can slow the drink ordering moment, which can shorten how much time you personally spend at each stop.

This is why I recommend you come ready to go with the flow. Think “fun evening with stories,” not “perfectly timed museum tour.”

Price and Value: Is $33 a Good Deal?

At $33 per person, you’re paying for the guide and the route concept. Since drinks are not included, you can’t treat it like an all-in-one deal.

But value is more than money. Here’s what you get for the ticket:

• A guided route across major historic areas
• Organized haunted stops tied to Savannah’s darker legends
• Four themed pub visits within a fixed 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours window
• A mobile ticket and a straightforward English-led experience

If you’re planning to buy at least one drink, and you want a guided night out rather than figuring out bars and lore on your own, the price can feel fair. If you’re trying to keep spending very low, you might end up feeling like the ticket is only part of the cost because your bar tab is yours.

Practical Tips So You Enjoy the Whole Night

These are the small choices that change how smooth the tour feels.

1) Dress for outdoor walking

Savannah evenings can surprise you. Even when the city is charming by day, the night air can make the story stops feel longer.

2) Think 21+ pub energy, not quiet sightseeing

Minimum age is 21 for a reason. Expect a social atmosphere.

3) Bring your patience for bar lines

Popular bars can be crowded, especially around busy dates. The tour format tries to keep you moving, but you still have to order a drink.

4) Choose the right kind of haunted night

If your ideal trip includes lots of chilling narration with minimal mingling, consider a more traditional ghost format. If you want both haunted history and a bar crawl vibe, this fits.

5) Use the guide for local direction

One review praised guides for offering first-timer recommendations. Even if you just ask one or two quick questions during the walking portions, you’ll likely get useful ideas for the rest of your night.

Who Should Book This Pub Crawl (and Who Might Skip It)

This tour is a strong pick if you want:

• An easy, guided way to see Savannah’s historic highlights after dark
• A mix of ghost stories and bar time
• A fun group atmosphere in about two hours
• A night designed around classic Savannah areas like the City Market and River Street vicinity

You might skip it if:

• You need step-by-step accessibility support. It’s not recommended for mobility issues.
• You dislike outdoor walking in cooler weather.
• You’re expecting a purely scripted ghost tour with lots of uninterrupted story time.

Should You Book Spooky Savannah?

I think it’s worth booking if you want a planned night out in Savannah that blends haunted lore with real pub time. At $33 and about two hours, it’s a good way to turn a first visit into a memorable evening without needing to research ten different stops.

But do set expectations: this is a pub crawl with ghost storytelling, not a heavy-duty haunting performance. If you show up ready to walk, order a drink, and enjoy the social pace, you’ll likely have the kind of night that feels like Savannah at its best.
