Savannah Terrors Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl

Ghosts drink better in Savannah. This two-hour crawl mixes documented haunting stories with stops at old pubs, a burying ground, a historic hotel, a square, and a cemetery. I like the small maximum of 15 people, which should make it easier to hear the guide, and I like the focus on researched accounts rather than spooky tales with no historical footing. The main catch is that drinks cost extra, and you should be ready to walk between stops.

The route finishes at Savannah Taphouse, a former theater on Broughton Street, after visits to several bars and paranormal sites. Guide Bailey has earned especially warm praise for making the evening fun, but the experience can suffer from bad weather, closed venues, or weak organization. I would treat this as a flexible night out, not a tightly managed sightseeing production.

Key points to know before you book

• Four drinking stops: You visit 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, The Original Pinkie Masters, Six Pence Pub, and Savannah Taphouse.
• Stories between the bars: The tour also includes an old burying ground, a historic hotel, a famous square, and the Jewish section of a cemetery.
• Drinks are extra: The $36 price covers the tour and fees, but not beer, wine, cocktails, or other drinks.
• Walking is part of the night: Transportation is not included, so wear comfortable shoes and plan around the route on foot.
• Small-group format: The maximum is 15 people, giving the guide room to speak with the group rather than shout over a crowd.
• Book ahead: The experience is commonly reserved about 28 days before the date, so last-minute availability may be limited.

A haunted night that begins near the river

The crawl starts at 307 East President Street, a useful location for anyone already exploring central Savannah. You receive a mobile ticket, and the tour is offered in English. The endpoint is 125 East Broughton Street, so you finish in a different part of the historic center rather than returning to the starting point.

That one-way format matters. You do not need to circle back to the first bar, but you should plan your evening around the final stop. If you have dinner reservations, a show, or a ride waiting, leave some breathing room after the advertised two-hour duration.

I like the basic idea here because Savannah works well after dark. The old streets, squares, inns, and cemeteries give a ghost tour something solid to work with. You are not only sitting in a bar hearing a story. You move through places tied to Savannah’s past, with drinks acting as social pauses along the way.

Still, this is a pub crawl with ghost stories, not a formal historical walking tour. The bar visits are short, listed at about 10 minutes each, and the paranormal stops between them carry much of the storytelling. You should expect a social evening with historical flavor, rather than long lectures at each location.

17Hundred90 and the ghost with strong opinions

The first bar stop is the 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant. Here, the guide tells the story of a ghost said to haunt the restaurant and to be very set in her ways.

That detail gives the opening stop a clear personality. Instead of starting with a broad account of Savannah’s haunted reputation, the guide begins with one location and one memorable spirit. It is an easy way to settle into the theme, especially if you enjoy stories built around a particular character.

Admission to the restaurant is not included, and your drink is not included either. The $36 tour price covers fees and the guide, but you will pay separately for anything you order. Keep that in mind when judging the total cost of the evening.

The stop is scheduled for roughly 10 minutes. That is enough time for a drink and a concise story, but not enough for a leisurely meal or a long stay. If you want dinner at 17Hundred90, arrange it separately and do not assume the crawl includes table service or a full dining visit.

An old burying ground between the drinks

After the first bar, the route moves to an old burying ground. The guide explains its history and the ghosts believed to linger there.

This is where the experience gains more atmosphere than a standard bar crawl. You leave the indoor setting and hear about a place shaped by burial customs, age, and the people connected to it. The cemetery and burying-ground stops also give the guide a chance to connect individual ghost stories with Savannah’s wider past.

The supplied details do not name this site, so you should not expect a full cemetery tour with a long list of graves. Instead, think of it as a short outdoor storytelling stop along the route. Weather can make a real difference here. One customer had a bad-weather evening in which two venues were closed and the tour finished about 30 minutes early.

That is an important practical warning. Ask about conditions before setting out, but understand that weather and business closures can still change the route. The operator has apologized for past problems of this kind, yet the possibility remains part of the risk of booking a nighttime pub crawl.

The Original Pinkie Masters and its local trivia

The second drinking stop is The Original Pinkie Masters. You have time for a drink and hear trivia tied to the location.

This stop appears to serve a different purpose from 17Hundred90. The first bar centers on a resident ghost, while Pinkie Masters adds local character and odd facts about the place itself. That variety helps keep the crawl from repeating the same ghost story in four different rooms.

Again, the listed visit lasts about 10 minutes. That short timing works best if you order quickly and keep your expectations modest. A pub crawl is more enjoyable when you see the bar stop as a taste of the venue, not as a full night at each establishment.

I would also use this part of the evening to judge the guide’s style. The strongest experiences depend on a guide who can tell a concise story, answer questions, and keep the group moving. Bailey received particular praise for doing exactly that. A good guide can make a 10-minute stop feel worthwhile. A less organized one can make the same stop feel rushed.

The historic hotel and Savannah’s famous square

The route includes a historic hotel where you hear about unusual occurrences. It also pauses at a famous Savannah square for its haunted history.

These two stops broaden the subject beyond bars. Hotels are natural settings for ghost stories because they bring together many generations of visitors, staff, and local incidents. A square, by contrast, connects the tales to Savannah’s public spaces and city design.

The itinerary does not identify the hotel or square by name, so you should not book this expecting a detailed architectural tour of a specific landmark. The value comes from the guide’s account and the feeling of hearing it at or near the location itself.

This is also where the walking requirement becomes more important. Transportation is not included, and the route links several places across central Savannah. The company describes the activity as requiring a moderate level of physical fitness. You do not need to be an athlete, but comfortable shoes are a smart choice, especially if the weather is damp or the streets are uneven.

One past booking came with the expectation of a bus that did not arrive, leaving six people to walk instead. The tour information currently says transportation is not included, so I would plan for walking from the start and not count on a shuttle. That removes a possible surprise.

The cemetery’s Jewish section

Another outdoor stop focuses on the Jewish section of a historic cemetery. The guide discusses the ghosts associated with this part of the burial ground.

This is one of the more distinctive elements of the route. It is not simply another stop at a famous square. The Jewish section gives the guide a chance to discuss a particular part of Savannah’s religious and cultural past, while keeping the focus on the stories connected to the site.

As with the other outdoor stops, you will likely get a focused account rather than a long cemetery visit. The advertised duration is approximate, and the bars each receive about 10 minutes. The overall two-hour schedule means the guide must keep the group moving.

I find that structure appealing if you like variety. You get short visits, changing scenery, and several types of locations. If you prefer one place explored in great depth, this may feel too quick.

Six Pence Pub and a final drink at Savannah Taphouse

At Six Pence Pub, you have another drink stop and hear the haunted history of the building. The pub gives the crawl a traditional British-style bar setting, at least in name and character, while the guide ties it into the evening’s paranormal theme.

This is the third drinking venue, and it helps break up the outdoor portions. You can order another drink, listen to the story, and compare the mood of the pub with the earlier stops. The price still does not include your order, so keep a running budget if you plan to drink at each location.

The tour ends at Savannah Taphouse, 125 East Broughton Street. The building was converted from an old theater, giving the final stop a useful historical hook of its own. You finish with a drink and a story in a place whose former use adds another layer to the evening.

The endpoint is free to enter as part of the tour, but your drink remains your responsibility. Since the crawl ends there, you can stay afterward if you wish, but the supplied details do not promise any extra time or organized continuation.

Is $36 a fair price?

At $36 per person, the tour is reasonably priced if you value the guide, the route, and the research behind the stories. The cost includes all fees and taxes, a professional guide, and the organized visit to several sites. For a two-hour evening experience, that is a fair starting price.

The real total depends on your drinks. If you order at all four bar stops, your final spending can rise quickly. You also pay for your own transportation to the starting point and away from the endpoint, though the central locations may make public transit or a short local ride possible.

I would compare the price with a standard ghost walk by asking what you want from the evening. A basic walking tour may give you more time at each outdoor site. This crawl adds four pub settings and a social rhythm, which is valuable if you want an activity that mixes sightseeing with drinks.

The price feels less worthwhile if the group is tiny, venues are closed, or the route is shortened by weather. One person was informed that they were the only participant on the crawl and decided that a solo pub crawl did not make sense. That situation was eventually handled with a refund, but it shows why confirmation and clear communication matter.

Group size, guide quality, and the risk of uneven organization

The maximum group size is 15. That is small enough for a guide to keep an eye on everyone and tell stories without competing with a large crowd. It also gives you a better chance to ask a question or hear a detail at an outdoor stop.

Guide Bailey received especially strong praise for making the experience enjoyable. That matters because the guide is the main source of value. The locations are fixed, but the tone, pacing, and clarity depend heavily on the person leading the group.

The experience has not been perfectly consistent. Some customers found the guide pleasant but felt the crawl lacked organization, depth, or structure around the bar visits. Another person found the bar element poorly managed. I would therefore book this for the chance of a good guide-led evening, while accepting that it may not feel as polished as a large commercial attraction.

The operator describes the stories as intensely researched and based on documented accounts of hauntings. That is a useful promise for anyone who prefers historical sources and reported incidents over pure performance. Still, documented does not mean proven supernatural activity. You are listening to accounts connected to places, not receiving scientific evidence of ghosts.

Who should book this Savannah haunted pub crawl?

I would recommend it to adults who want a relaxed night activity, enjoy local lore, and like moving between bars rather than sitting through a long presentation. It also suits a small group of friends who want a shared evening with a little history and a little theatrical atmosphere.

It may work well early in a Savannah visit because the route helps you get familiar with several central locations. The one-way route also gives you a few places to revisit later, though the tour itself does not promise recommendations beyond the stories and drink stops.

I would think twice if you need a guaranteed schedule, indoor shelter, included drinks, or a vehicle between locations. Weather can affect the outdoor portions and venue openings. You should also be comfortable with the possibility that the crawl may be less satisfying if attendance is extremely low.

Free cancellation is available when you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, and the experience is commonly booked about 28 days ahead, so I would reserve earlier rather than later.

Should you book it?

Book this Savannah haunted pub crawl if you want documented ghost stories, short walks, and several historic bars in one evening. The best version of the experience will likely come from a strong guide, a cooperative group, open venues, and dry weather. Bailey’s positive mention shows how much the guide can shape the night.

Skip it if you want a tightly timed tour with transportation, included drinks, or a detailed examination of every site. Plan to walk, budget extra for drinks, and confirm the tour before setting out if the weather looks rough. For the right audience, $36 is a fair price for a social introduction to Savannah’s haunted side, but it is not a guaranteed ghostly masterpiece.
