Sips n’ Spooks Haunted Pub Crawl All Drinks InClouded w/ticket

Spooks pair well with cocktails. This Savannah walking tour mixes ghost stories, historic squares, and included drinks, making it a lively way to see the city after dark. I like the small-group limit of 25 and the range of stops, from a tasting room to a champagne bar and a secret speakeasy.

I also like that the walking route includes several famous squares rather than keeping you inside bars all evening. The main caution is reliability: three of the seven ratings describe late cancellation or poor notification, so you should check your messages before heading out. Bring your valid photo ID, too, because you must be 21 or older to drink.

Key points to know before you book

• All listed drinks are included, so the $70 price is easier to judge than a tour with a low base cost and repeated bar tabs.
• The route uses Savannah’s famous squares, including City Market, Chippewa Square, Johnson Square, and Wright Square.
• The spooky stories are part of a walking tour, not a haunted-house attraction with special effects.
• Bar Bubbly includes a champagne toast, while Mint to Be adds Latin cocktails, bites, and access to a secret speakeasy.
• Guides named Addison, Chris, and Austin received strong praise for storytelling, humor, and personal experiences.
• Cancellation communication has been uneven, so check your email and phone shortly before departure.

Savannah after dark, with a drink in hand

Sips n’ Spooks is built around a simple idea: walk through central Savannah, hear tales connected to old squares, and pause at bars for drinks along the way. The experience lasts about two hours and is offered in English.

That format works well for someone who wants an introduction to Savannah’s spooky side without committing to a long, theatrical ghost show. You get a little local atmosphere, a little city sightseeing, and several chances to raise a glass.

The $70 price includes the listed drinks and admission at each stop. That matters. If you ordered several cocktails, tastings, and a champagne toast separately, the total could rise quickly. Still, value depends on what you want from the evening. If you mainly want a serious history walk, the bar stops may interrupt the storytelling. If you want a social night out with some local tales, the mix is more appealing.

The pace is fairly full. The scheduled stops add up to roughly 115 minutes, close to the advertised two hours, with most stops lasting between 10 and 20 minutes. You should expect a moving group rather than long time seated at any one bar.

Starting at The Georgia Tasting Room

The tour begins at The Georgia Tasting Room on West Saint Julian Street. You spend about 10 minutes here, with admission included.

This is a sensible opening stop. A tasting room lets the group settle in before the walking begins, and it gives the guide a natural place to introduce the evening. The supplied details do not specify the exact pours or how many samples you receive, so do not assume this is a full tasting flight.

The short stop also tells you what kind of tour this is. You are not being given an hour to sample local products. Instead, the tasting room is one piece of a larger evening that keeps you moving through Savannah’s center.

Arrive ready to walk soon after the first drink. A comfortable pair of shoes will help, since the tour continues through several public squares and ends at a different point from where it starts.

A champagne toast at Bar Bubbly

Next comes Bar Bubbly, described as Savannah’s trendiest champagne bar. The scheduled visit lasts 10 minutes and includes a champagne toast with your group.

This is one of the more distinctive parts of the tour. A toast gives the evening a clear social moment, and the setting should appeal to anyone who prefers sparkling wine to standard pub fare. It also makes the experience suitable for birthdays, friend groups, or a celebratory night in Savannah.

Ten minutes is brief. You should think of this as a toast, not a relaxed champagne tasting. The stop is designed to keep the route moving, so you may not have much time to study the menu or linger over a second drink.

Because all drinks are included in the ticket, this is also a useful place to see how the tour handles group service. One favorable account praised the way drinks arrived efficiently and the stops were timed well. That kind of organization matters when a group has several venues to visit in only two hours.

City Market and Ellis Square: two short urban stops

The crawl then moves through City Market and Ellis Square, with about 15 minutes allotted to each.

City Market is one of Savannah’s best-known gathering areas. On this tour, it serves as both a sightseeing stop and part of the spooky setting. You can expect the guide to keep the group focused on stories and atmosphere rather than provide a long museum-style explanation.

Ellis Square is also listed as a City Market stop. The two locations give you a chance to see how Savannah’s public spaces change from one block to the next, while keeping the group near bars and pedestrian routes.

These stops are valuable because they break up the drinking. You are not simply being carried from one pub to another. The guide uses the city itself as the backdrop, which gives the night more character.

The tradeoff is depth. Fifteen minutes passes quickly, especially if the guide needs to gather everyone, tell a story, and keep the route on schedule. You will get snapshots rather than a detailed study of each square.

Chippewa Square and the Forrest Gump connection

Chippewa Square receives about 20 minutes and is identified as Forrest Gump Square.

This is likely one of the most recognizable stops for many people. The square is tied to the famous film setting, so even visitors with little interest in ghost stories may enjoy this pause. It also gives the guide a strong visual location for storytelling.

The supplied details do not specify which particular scene or filming information is covered, so you should not expect a full movie tour. The emphasis remains on the walking crawl’s blend of spooky tales, city sights, and drinks.

Chippewa Square is also listed as the ending point in the meeting information, although Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites appears later in the scheduled stop sequence. That mismatch is worth noting. Confirm the final meeting point and route with the operator on the day of your tour, especially if you have dinner plans or a ride waiting.

Johnson Square, Savannah’s first square

Johnson Square is scheduled for 15 minutes and is identified as Savannah’s first square.

That detail gives the stop extra weight. Instead of seeing only the most famous movie-related locations, you also visit a square tied to the city’s early layout. The guide can connect the square to Savannah’s beginnings while keeping the tone light and spooky.

This is where a good guide makes a real difference. Chris was praised for making city information fun, while Addison received strong marks for combining spooky stories with an enjoyable walk. Austin was also singled out for an engaging tour and personal experiences.

Those comments point to the main strength of this experience: the guide, not a large production, carries the evening. Story delivery can vary from one departure to another, but the better guides appear to give the stops a personal touch.

Wright Square and the hanging-square story

Wright Square gets the longest scheduled square visit, about 20 minutes, and is labeled Hanging Square.

That name signals a darker part of Savannah’s past and fits the tour’s spooky theme more directly than the champagne stop or movie reference. You should expect a story-focused pause here, with the guide using the square’s setting to build the mood.

The 20-minute timing gives the guide more room than at City Market or Ellis Square. It may also be the point where the evening feels most like a ghost walk rather than a pub crawl.

Still, this is not presented as a frightening attraction. The experience is described by one highly positive account as a little spooky before it got too dark, which is a useful expectation. If you want jump scares, actors, or elaborate effects, this probably will not satisfy you. If you like eerie stories with a drink in your hand, the tone should be more comfortable.

Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites

The final listed stop is Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites, with about 10 minutes scheduled.

This is where the tour shifts toward Latin cocktails and food. The venue is described as offering the best Latin cocktails in Savannah, along with exclusive access to a secret speakeasy. One enthusiastic account specifically praised the speakeasy and the drinks, while another highlighted margaritas and empanadas.

The exact food and drink allocation is not given, so you should not treat the stop as dinner. The mention of bites suggests a small food pairing or snack, not a full meal. Eat beforehand if you need a substantial dinner.

The speakeasy access is the tour’s most unusual bar feature. Since the details do not explain how entry works or how long you spend inside, the experience may be brief. Even so, it gives the crawl a memorable final note and adds variety beyond standard pub stops.

What the $70 price really buys you

At $70 per person, this is not the cheapest way to have a drink in Savannah. You are paying for a guided route, several included drink experiences, access to the listed venues, and the convenience of moving between stops with a host.

The value improves if you would otherwise order champagne, cocktails, tastings, and bar snacks during the same evening. It also improves if you want someone else to shape the route and provide stories as you go.

The value is weaker if you drink very little, dislike group activities, or prefer to choose your own bars. The tour is capped at 25 people, which is more manageable than a very large group but still large enough that you may not have much one-on-one time with the guide.

The reviews show a split worth taking seriously. Four ratings praise the guides, drink stops, timing, and storytelling, with special approval for the margaritas, empanadas, champagne, and speakeasy. Three ratings report cancellations or late notification. The operator disputed each cancellation complaint and stated that notices were sent by email or text, but the conflicting accounts still create a practical concern.

For that reason, check your email and phone before leaving for the meeting point. One person said a cancellation became clear only after contacting support at the scheduled start time. Another said a later departure was not offered until after the refund process began. Even if those situations resulted from third-party booking communication, the impact on your evening is the same.

Practical details for a smoother evening

The tour begins at 306 West Saint Julian Street in Savannah. The listed end point is Chippewa Square, although the scheduled stops place Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites later in the route. Confirm the final location before you arrange transport.

You receive a mobile ticket, and confirmation is provided when you book. The tour is offered in English. It operates near public transportation, and most people can participate.

You must be 21 or older to drink and need a valid ID. Bring it even if you look well over 21. The instructions specifically ask you to bring an ID, so a photograph on your phone may not be enough.

Rain can affect a walking tour quickly. Bring an umbrella or poncho if rain is possible. Service animals are allowed, but the route still involves walking between public squares and venues, so consider your own comfort with that pace.

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the experience for a full refund. If bad weather, schedule changes, or communication problems concern you, keep that deadline in mind.

Who will enjoy Sips n’ Spooks most?

I would recommend this for adults who want a social evening with several different settings. It suits couples, groups of friends, and first-time Savannah visitors who want a quick orientation to central squares without booking a full sightseeing day.

It is especially appealing if you like cocktails, short ghost stories, film connections, and a guide-led route. Addison, Chris, and Austin were each praised for making the experience enjoyable in different ways, so the guide’s personality may be a major part of your night.

I would be more cautious if you want a serious paranormal investigation, a long history lecture, or a quiet cocktail tasting. The schedule is active, the stops are short, and the spooky element appears to be atmospheric rather than frightening.

Should you book this Savannah pub crawl?

Book it if you want included drinks, Savannah squares, and light ghost stories in one compact evening. The champagne toast, Forrest Gump connection, historic squares, Latin cocktails, empanadas, and secret speakeasy give the route enough variety to avoid feeling like a basic bar hop.

Before you commit, accept two limits: the tour depends heavily on the individual guide, and cancellation communication has drawn serious complaints. Check all messages on the day, bring your ID and rain gear, and confirm the final stop.

For a fun night out with a little spooky flavor, the tour can be good value at $70. For a detailed history walk or a dependable no-surprises schedule, you may want a more conventional option.
