Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl

Savannah gets stranger after dark. This two-hour walking pub crawl mixes cocktails, haunted places, and sharp local storytelling as you move through the Historic District with a guide. I like the easy pace and the chance to see several bars in one evening without planning the route yourself. I also like that guides such as Sarah Anne and Austin bring humor and useful Savannah history to the stories. The main drawback is that drinks and bar admission are not included, so your final cost depends on what you order.

You meet at 8:30 p.m. outside Flip Flop Shops at 100 Bull Street, then return there at the end. The walk is described as simple, but the evening still runs for about 2 hours and 5 minutes, so comfortable shoes matter. A group of up to 30 people can join, which may feel lively and social, though it can also make the stops less intimate.

Key points to know before you book

• Five named bar stops: The route may include Savannah Taphouse, Abe’s on Lincoln, 17hundred90, McDonoughs, and other haunted locations.
• Ghost stories with a sense of humor: Sarah Anne and Austin have both been praised for making local tales entertaining while still adding historical context.
• A short, manageable walk: The route lasts about two hours, and the walking has been described as simple rather than strenuous.
• Drinks are your responsibility: Admission tickets and purchases at the bars are not included, so budget separately for cocktails or other drinks.
• A night-starting meeting time: The tour begins at 8:30 p.m. and finishes back at 100 Bull Street.
• A small enough cap to keep it organized: The maximum group size is 30 people, though actual group size may vary.

Meeting at 100 Bull Street after dark

The tour begins at Flip Flop Shops, 100 Bull Street, in Savannah’s Historic District. Arrive ready to start at 8:30 p.m., since the meeting point is also the final stop for the evening. That simple out-and-back arrangement makes it easier to plan your night around the walk.

You do not need to arrange a separate ride between bars. The route is on foot, and the activity ends back at the original meeting point. Public transportation is nearby, which gives you another option for reaching the start.

The practical tip is to arrive with enough time to find 100 Bull Street without rushing. The information provided does not specify a separate check-in desk or a detailed landmark beyond Flip Flop Shops, so keep the address handy on your phone. Your booking confirmation should also be available when you arrive, since confirmation is issued at booking.

At this hour, Savannah’s old streets are part of the experience. The late start gives the walk a proper ghost-tour mood, but it also means you should think ahead about how you will get home after returning to Bull Street.

Walking through Savannah’s Historic District

After a brief five-minute meeting-point stop, the main two-hour portion begins. You walk with the guide through the Historic District, pausing at bars and places tied to Savannah’s darker stories.

The value here is the combination. A standard bar crawl can feel like a checklist of drinks, while a standard ghost tour may keep you outside for the entire evening. This experience uses the bars as stops along a storytelling route, giving you a reason to enter different places while learning about the city’s chilling past.

The walk is described as simple, making it suitable for most people who are comfortable walking for roughly two hours. Still, simple does not mean completely effortless. You may be standing at bars, moving between locations, and spending much of the evening on your feet. Wear shoes that you can manage comfortably for the full outing.

Because the group can reach 30 people, stay close to the guide when the party moves. A larger group can make the evening feel friendly and energetic, but you may need to position yourself near the guide to hear every story clearly.

What to expect at Savannah Taphouse and other bars

The route can include Savannah Taphouse, Abe’s on Lincoln, 17hundred90, McDonoughs, and other locations associated with Savannah’s haunted past. The exact order and final selection of bars are not detailed, so you should treat these names as possible stops rather than a guaranteed sequence.

At each bar, you have a chance to choose from cocktails and other drink options. The experience does not cover the cost of those drinks, and no admission ticket is included. That gives you control over your spending, but it also means the advertised activity price is not your complete evening budget.

I like this arrangement for people who do not want a fixed drink package. You can choose a cocktail, order something else, or keep your spending modest. The tradeoff is that you need to watch the clock and your tab, especially when moving between several locations.

The stops also give the stories a changing setting. Instead of hearing every tale in one place, you move through different parts of the Historic District and connect the atmosphere of old buildings and bars with the guide’s narration. The experience is not just about drinking. It is about using the evening setting to make Savannah’s ghost stories feel close at hand.

Sarah Anne and Austin set the tone

The guide makes or breaks a story-based walking tour. Sarah Anne has been praised for telling ghost stories in a humorous but educational way. That balance matters. Ghost tales can become repetitive if every stop relies on the same spooky voice, but humor gives the evening some lift while the historical details keep it from feeling like pure theater.

Austin has also received strong praise for packing a lot of Savannah history into the short time available. That is useful if you have limited time in town and want more than a bar-by-bar introduction. His approach appears to favor substance without turning the evening into a formal lecture.

The experience provider is The Witching Hour Paranormal Ghost Tour, so paranormal stories are central rather than an occasional extra. You should expect a playful, spooky tone rather than a serious academic history walk. The best fit is someone who enjoys old-city tales, haunted places, and a guide who can tell a story with personality.

The information provided does not guarantee a specific guide. If you have heard particularly good things about Sarah Anne or Austin, you should not assume one of them will lead your date. The tour’s strengths depend partly on who is working that evening.

Why the two-hour format works

The tour lasts about 2 hours and 5 minutes. That is long enough to visit several bars and build a full evening around the Historic District, but short enough to fit alongside dinner or another Savannah activity.

A shorter route would risk feeling rushed, especially if the guide has several stories to tell. A much longer walk could become tiring, particularly when you are standing and ordering drinks along the way. This length gives the evening a clear beginning and end without taking over your entire night.

The 8:30 p.m. start also shapes the mood. You are not joining an afternoon sightseeing walk with a ghost-story label. The later hour suits the subject, and it leaves the day free for museums, historic sites, or other activities.

The downside is that anyone who prefers early evenings may find the schedule late. The tour also requires you to stay alert after dark, keep track of your belongings, and plan your return from the meeting point.

Group size, comfort, and access

The maximum group size is 30 people. That cap should help the guide keep the route together, though it is not a private tour and may still feel busy at the bars.

Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. The activity is near public transportation, adding some flexibility for reaching the meeting point. No special fitness requirement is stated, but you should be comfortable walking and standing for the duration.

No detailed information is provided about restroom access, seating, step-free routes, or the exact surfaces along the walk. If any of those points matter to you, contact the provider before booking. The route takes place around the Historic District and bars, so conditions may vary from stop to stop.

This is also an English-language experience. If you want the stories to land properly, you should be comfortable following spoken English in a group setting, sometimes near the general noise of a bar.

The real value of the experience

The value depends on how you use it. If you only want inexpensive drinks, a self-guided evening will likely give you more control. You can choose one bar, avoid extra walking, and pay only for what you order.

If you want a ready-made route with local stories, the calculation changes. You are paying for the guide’s time, the organization of the evening, access to several bar settings, and the chance to hear Savannah’s haunted tales while moving through the Historic District. The tour also saves you from guessing which places fit the theme.

Because no tour price is provided here, I cannot judge the exact cost against similar activities. I can say that your total spending will include your own drinks, since those are not covered. Ask about the current price before booking and add a realistic drink budget.

The strongest value comes if you are new to Savannah or want a social night with structure. You get an introduction to several places and a guide who can connect them to the city’s past. If you already know the Historic District well, the ghost stories and guide’s personality will be the main reason to go.

What could go wrong

One practical risk has nothing to do with the guide: food or drink consumed before the tour can affect your night. A party once had to leave early after two people became ill from food eaten elsewhere. That situation was outside the tour’s control, but it is a reminder to keep dinner choices sensible before a walking activity.

The tour also depends on good weather. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund. The activity requires a minimum number of participants as well, so a cancellation for that reason comes with the same choice of another date or experience, or a full refund.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before 8:30 p.m. are not refunded or accepted. The cut-off uses Savannah’s local time, so check your timing carefully if you are booking from elsewhere.

These rules are reasonable for a scheduled walking tour, but they make last-minute plans less flexible. If your schedule is uncertain, book only when you are confident you can attend.

Who should book the Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl?

I would choose this for an adult night out built around stories rather than heavy sightseeing. It suits you if you enjoy cocktails, haunted places, short walks, and guides with a strong storytelling style.

It is also a good fit for a first evening in Savannah. The route gives you a quick sense of the Historic District after dark, and you may discover bars you would not have selected on your own. Sarah Anne’s humor and Austin’s ability to pack in local history suggest that the guide can add real value beyond simply leading the group from one bar to the next.

I would think twice if you want a quiet private tour, a fixed drink package, or a fully planned meal-and-drinks experience. You will need to pay for your own drinks, tolerate the possibility of a 30-person group, and remain comfortable on foot for about two hours.

Should you book it?

Book the Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl if you want Savannah’s spooky side served with a drink in hand and a guide doing the research for you. The strongest reasons are the simple walking route, the late-night atmosphere, the range of possible bar stops, and the proven storytelling style associated with guides such as Sarah Anne and Austin.

Skip it if your priority is low-cost drinking, private attention, or a completely predictable itinerary. For everyone else, this looks like a well-organized way to add ghost stories and local character to a night in the Historic District. Keep your expectations clear: the stories and guiding are included, but the drinks are yours to buy.
