Savannah’s ghosts walk you through bar doors. I like the way this tour anchors its scares in real Savannah places, especially the 17 Hundred 90 Inn and the tale of Anna Powell causing trouble in a very practical way. I also like the pacing of 8 to 12 ghost stories that mix nightlife with a real cemetery stop. One heads-up: drinks are not included, so you’ll want to budget extra if you plan to sample cocktails.

You meet at Kid’s Payground at Davant Park behind Colonial Park Cemetery, then spend about 105 minutes hopping through 4–5 bars and historic venues with a guide who knows how to tell a story. In cold months, the walk between stops can feel chilly, but one recent booking noted that the weather actually meant longer time at each stop, which helped the night feel unhurried.

Key things to know before you go

• Captain Stoner Joe’s storyteller style: lifetime research and firsthand ghost-and-nightlife experience, delivered as an unscripted, fast-moving night.
• Anna Powell’s 17 Hundred 90 Inn story: a specific, vivid haunt tied to the inn’s history and atmosphere.
• Colonial Park Cemetery focus: you’ll hunt for spirits connected to the American Revolution, including Renee Asch Randolier.
• Abe’s on Lincoln energy: a murdered bartender’s ghost story tied to the bar’s vibe, with spirits and dancing mentioned as part of the experience.
• A small-night-out format: weekend tours have a 30-person maximum, so it’s social without feeling like a cattle call.
• $33 value is access-driven: you pay for the tour and entry to the stops; drinks are on you, so plan accordingly.

What this 105-minute haunted bar crawl costs, and what you’re really paying for

At $33 per person, the big value is not the drinks. It’s the tour + access to the establishments during your crawl. Drinks are explicitly not included, so think of this as a guided ticket into several historic, spooky locations—not an open bar.

The tour runs 105 minutes (listed as about a two-hour outing), which matters because it keeps the night tight. In a city with lots to see, this is long enough to get multiple stops and multiple stories, but short enough that you can still do other Savannah highlights afterward without feeling wrecked.

Also: the tour is described as one 100% ghost-themed crawl per night. That’s a helpful mental model—this isn’t random sightseeing mixed with a couple of jokes. It’s built as a full evening around haunting.

Finding Kid’s Payground: your starting point behind Colonial Park Cemetery

Your meeting point is Kid’s Payground at Davant Park, behind Colonial Park Cemetery. That’s useful information because you can orient yourself quickly: you’re starting near one of Savannah’s most recognizable historic areas.

This also affects your expectations. You’re not meeting at a big hotel lobby where everything is obvious. You’re meeting outdoors near the cemetery, so dress for Savannah weather and give yourself a few extra minutes to find the group before you start walking.

How the guide’s storytelling style shapes the whole night

Captain Stoner Joe is the star here, and the tour description sells him as a lifelong Savannah authority—someone who has played music, tended bar, and guided tours for years. What that means for your night is simple: the guide isn’t reading a script like a school project.

He’s described as unscripted and immersive, and that matters because ghost stories land better when they feel like a conversation with someone who’s lived in the city for decades. In one recent booking, the guide Hoodoo was highlighted as keeping the group riveted and making it feel like hanging out with an old friend who knows everyone and can get you into the best spots.

The practical takeaway: if you like your storytelling fast, detailed, and theatrical, you’re in the right place. If you prefer quiet, museum-style narration, this format may feel a little more “night out” than “history lecture.”

Stop 1: 17 Hundred 90 Inn and the Anna Powell haunting

One of the most specific highlights is the 17 Hundred 90 Inn and the spirit story about Anna Powell. The tour’s description says her ghost playfully steals clothes and rips sheets off guests. That’s the kind of detail that makes a haunt story feel more concrete than a vague chill-in-the-air tale.

Why this stop works: an inn gives you a natural setting for ghost lore. People stayed there, staff worked there, and stories likely grew around real human routines. When your guide ties the supernatural to something as ordinary as lodging and bedding, the story becomes easier to picture—especially in Savannah, where buildings often look like they belong to another era.

Possible drawback: if you don’t enjoy horror comedy-style specifics, some of the more hands-on mischievous details may not be your favorite kind of scary. But for most people, that blend of creepy and playful is exactly what makes haunted bar crawls fun.

Stop 2: Colonial Park Cemetery and the American Revolution ghosts

Next comes Colonial Park Cemetery, where you’ll visit the ghosts tied to the American Revolution. This is where the tour slows into a more “walk-and-look” mode, because you’re standing among history instead of just under bar lights.

The tour’s description also names Renee Asch Randolier, a tragic figure from the 1780s. If you like your haunt stories with names and dates, this is a strong moment. Cemetery stops turn the supernatural from a spooky theme into a place with actual anchors—who lived, who died, and why the city still talks about certain lives.

Practical tip for your night: bring something warm if you’re going in cooler months. One recent booking specifically called out that it was very cold, but the cold weather allowed extra time at each stop. Even if you warm up during the tour, you’ll still want layers, since cemetery time is outdoors.

Stop 3 and beyond: Abe’s on Lincoln and the murdered bartender’s spirit

Abe’s on Lincoln is another standout, and the tour description makes it clear that the ghost story links directly to the bar’s character. It says there’s a murdered bartender’s ghost who keeps the spirits stocked—so the haunting isn’t just a chilling backstory, it’s part of the bar’s vibe.

It also mentions spirits and dancing with the ghosts. That’s a big clue about what Abe’s likely feels like on this night: less museum, more lively storytelling with movement. Even if you’re not a big dancer, you’ll probably feel the energy of a group building into one shared moment rather than standing silently at the edges.

If you’re the type who likes your ghost stories tied to people and place (bartenders, regulars, nighttime routines), this stop typically hits hard. It also helps balance the cemetery stop earlier, because you get a release valve: you’re back in nightlife mode.

The Marshall House is part of the haunted mix

The description also calls out The Marshall House and a specific kind of haunting: an incubus that terrorizes dreams and prank calls. Whether that lands as unsettling or just delightfully creepy depends on your taste—but it’s very much in the style of Savannah ghost lore that leans into vivid characters and supernatural habits.

Why including something like this matters: a good haunted crawl doesn’t treat every story as the same flavor. You’ll get different kinds of fear—ghosts in hospitality spaces, ghosts tied to history and burial grounds, and supernatural trouble that plays with your sense of safety at night.

Expect 4–5 bars and 8–12 ghostly tales: the pacing you’re buying

A key promise is 4–5 bars and 8–12 ghostly tales per tour. That number isn’t just trivia—it tells you how much story you’ll get at each stop.

In practice, it’s usually enough time for your guide to:

• set the scene in a way that makes each location feel distinct,
• tell multiple stories without rushing past every stop,
• and keep the group moving so you’re not standing around waiting for the next location.

This is one place where the “105 minutes” length works in your favor. If it were longer, the group could get tired and the stories might blend. If it were shorter, you might not see enough variety. This length is set up to keep the night feeling like a single unit.

Last bar perks: drink specials and a champagne bottle for bachelorette parties

The end of the crawl includes drink specials at the last bar. The details provided also say that bachelorette parties get a free champagne bottle.

This matters because it turns the final stop into an easy win. Even though drinks aren’t included in the tour price, the last bar can be your best bang-for-your-buck moment. If you’re celebrating, you may find the bachelorette perk makes the night feel more like an event.

If you’re not celebrating, you can still treat that last stop like your planned payoff: decide ahead of time what you’ll order so you’re not scrambling when the group arrives.

Group size, energy level, and why weekend timing matters

Weekend slots have a 30-person maximum. That’s a meaningful detail for how the tour feels. Smaller groups let the guide deliver a more personal night—less noise, fewer people trying to talk at once, and better odds you’ll hear every story clearly.

The experience is also not set up for total silence. This is a nightlife-oriented format, even with the cemetery stop. Expect conversation, laughs, and a guide who keeps the momentum going.

Who this tour suits best in Savannah

This crawl is best for you if you:

• like haunted storytelling tied to named places like the 17 Hundred 90 Inn and Colonial Park Cemetery,
• want a guided night out rather than a self-paced walk,
• enjoy ghost lore that mixes creepy details with bar energy,
• and can handle a bit of walking outdoors.

It’s not a good fit if you need mobility support, since the tour is listed as not suitable for people with mobility impairments. It’s also not suitable for children under 18.

If you’re visiting Savannah on a night when you want something social and a little spooky, this checks a lot of boxes. If you’d rather keep your evening quiet, you might prefer a cemetery-focused experience or a daytime history tour instead.

Practical advice so your night feels smooth

• Dress in layers. Cold weather is real for an outdoor-to-bar itinerary, and one recent booking called out that it was very cold but still worth it.
• Budget for drinks. The tour price covers access, not alcohol, and you’ll likely want to enjoy at least a couple of stops.
• Bring a payment plan you’re comfortable with. Since drinks are extra, it’s easier if you know your limit before you arrive.
• Pace yourself with water. Even short pub crawls can sneak up on you—especially when you’re mixing walking with bars.

Should you book Captain Stoner’s Haunted Bar Crawl?

Book it if you want a guided Savannah night that blends historic settings with lively storytelling, and you like ghost tales with specific anchors like Anna Powell, Renee Asch Randolier, and the murdered bartender’s haunting at Abe’s on Lincoln. At $33, the math works best when you treat it as a ticket to access several places plus 8–12 stories—then you budget separately for drinks.

Skip it if you want an all-inclusive alcohol experience, need full accessibility support, or you’re looking for a quiet, museum-style explanation rather than an evening with nightlife energy.

If you’re the type who enjoys being entertained while you learn, this is exactly the kind of Savannah activity that turns a normal night into a story you remember.
