Savannah at night has a way of getting under your skin. This Conjuring Cocktails pub crawl pairs a walk through the historic district with spooky storytelling, led by The Witching Hour Paranormal Ghost Tour.

I like that it stays focused: you’re not dragging your feet all night, and the pace is simple walking. I also love the mix of humor plus history-style ghost tales, especially the way guides like Sarah Anne and Austin work the stories into the places you’re standing.

One thing to keep in mind: you’ll be moving outdoors after dark, so you’ll want to dress for weather and plan for a standard night-walk pace. If you’re sensitive to strong smells or busy bar atmospheres, it’s worth thinking ahead.

Key things to know before you go

• Meeting point is fixed at 100 Bull St near Flip Flop Shops, so you can find the group fast.
• Small group size (up to 30) keeps it more conversational than chaotic.
• A full 2-hour block in the Historic District means you actually get time between stops.
• Named bar stops include Savannah Taphouse, Abe’s on Lincoln, 17hundred90, and McDonoughs.
• Ghost stories come with a humorous tone in the way the guides present them.
• Good weather matters, and the tour may be rescheduled or refunded if it can’t run safely.

A 2-hour haunted pub crawl starting at 8:30 pm

This tour runs about 2 hours 5 minutes, starting at 8:30 pm. That timing is smart. You get the “night Savannah” mood without committing to a late, all-night event.

The format is also straightforward. You meet, you walk, you stop at bars, and you listen. There’s no confusing “park here, hunt that, wait 20 minutes” feeling. The whole thing is built around keeping you moving through the historic district while your guide connects the stories to the streets and spots you’re visiting.

If you’re the type who likes your entertainment to have a little structure, this fits. And if you just want a fun bar night with a guide giving you something to pay attention to, you’ll like the way it keeps the focus on the places you’re seeing.

Where you meet: Flip Flop Shops on Bull Street

You’ll start at 100 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401, at Flip Flop Shops. The initial stop is quick, about 5 minutes, which usually means the group forms up and gets ready to head out.

I find this matters more than people expect. When a tour starts right at a specific landmark, you lose less time wandering around and asking strangers for directions. You also get an early sense of the group size and who you’ll be walking with.

This is also convenient if you’re using public transportation. The tour is listed as near public transportation, which makes a late-evening outing easier than it sounds.

The Historic District walk: bars plus Savannah’s chilling past

The heart of the night is the long walking stretch through Savannah’s Historic District. You’ll head out from the Flip Flop Shop area and spend about 2 hours roaming the neighborhood with your guide.

What makes this portion work is that it’s not just “here’s a bar, next bar.” Your guide ties the stopping points to Savannah’s chilling past, with stories that mix in local context. The result is that the streets feel like part of the show, not just a backdrop.

You’ll also hit a set of clearly named venues. These include:

• Savannah Taphouse
• Abe’s on Lincoln
• 17hundred90
• McDonoughs

Those names help you picture the night in advance. You’re not guessing where you’ll end up, and you get the benefit of hearing what the guide thinks matters about each place you visit. If you enjoy walking tours where the guide gives you a reason to look up at the buildings and pay attention to the surroundings, this part is the payoff.

How the bar stops shape the experience

A good pub crawl has two jobs: keep the energy up and keep people from getting bored in between stops. Here, the walking time gives you the history and ghost-story thread, then the bars give you a break.

One review highlighted that there’s a choice of cocktails at the stops. That’s a nice detail for value because it gives you flexibility. You can go with something lighter, stronger, or simply different than what you ordered last time you were out.

Just remember: the bars are still bars. Your guide can set the route and keep the story moving, but your drinks and any food decisions are yours.

The guides: humor-forward ghost stories you can follow

The tour is built around paranormal storytelling, and the reviews are pretty consistent on the tone. Guides like Sarah Anne are praised for telling ghost stories in a way that’s both funny and educational. It’s not just scary noise. You’re getting the sense that the guide wants you to understand the setting and why the story sticks to Savannah.

Another guide mentioned in the reviews is Austin, who’s described as a strong fit for the time limit. In a short window, he reportedly packed in a lot of Savannah history and kept the pace moving without dragging.

That’s what you should look for in a night tour like this. A good ghost story guide doesn’t read from a script. They guide attention—toward a corner, a street, a building—then they connect it to the story so it lands while you’re still standing there.

Also, with a maximum of 30 travelers, it’s usually easier for the guide to keep things conversational. You’re not stuck yelling across a sea of strangers the whole night.

Pace and what to wear for a 2-hour night walk

This is a walking tour. Even though the itinerary includes bar stops, you should plan for being on your feet for much of the evening.

One of the reviews called it simple walking, which is reassuring. It’s not described as a technical hike or anything like that. Still, it’s evening. Sidewalks, uneven pavement, and weather can turn “simple” into “annoying” if you ignore comfort.

Wear shoes you’d actually want to stand in for a while. Bring a layer. And if you’re the type who gets cold easily, plan for it to be chilly after 8:30 pm.

If you’re booking with friends, decide in advance what you’ll do if someone needs a bathroom break or gets distracted. The tour is time-boxed, so small delays can feel bigger than you expect.

Drinks, food, and what’s not included

Here’s the part that helps you plan better: the tour notes say admission tickets are not included. That typically signals that your tour focuses on the guided experience and route, while your bar spending is on you.

Even so, the experience is built around stopping at actual bars. And the reviews mention you’ll have a choice of cocktails at the bars you stop at. That’s part of the fun. You’re not just walking past doors and hearing stories from the sidewalk.

At the same time, one negative review involved a group member getting ill after eating, which disrupted the trip. The response from the provider emphasized that illness tied to food from another business is outside the guide’s control.

So my practical advice is simple: don’t assume every bar stop will be a guaranteed “safe choice” for food. If your stomach is sensitive, stick to lighter options, stay hydrated, and pace yourself. If you do eat, eat like you’re on a normal night out, not like it’s a controlled tasting event.

Group size, energy, and who this fits best

With a maximum of 30 travelers, this isn’t a private tour, but it doesn’t sound like a massive bus-load either. The sweet spot here is a group that wants a guide-driven night out.

You’ll probably enjoy this most if:

• You like walking tours that stay focused.
• You want your bar crawl to have a story thread.
• You enjoy ghost tales with a humorous, educational tone.
• You want to hit specific Savannah spots without building the plan yourself.

If you’re someone who hates crowds, you might feel the group energy depending on the number of people on your date. But a 30-person cap keeps it from turning into a crush.

Also, because it’s offered in English, it’s a good fit if you’re comfortable with English storytelling and want your guide’s tone to land.

Weather and schedule realities for a night in Savannah

This experience requires good weather. That means if the conditions aren’t workable, you may be offered a different date or a full refund.

It’s a fair policy for a walking tour. Night tours become miserable fast when it’s cold, wet, or windy, and Savannah sidewalks can get slippery.

If you’re visiting during a season with unpredictable evenings, keep your backup plan in mind. Booking a night tour is best when you’re already flexible enough to shuffle your schedule.

How to decide: should you book Conjuring Cocktails?

If you want a Savannah night that blends bars and story, I’d say yes—especially if you like ghost stories told with humor and context. The strongest praise centers on the guides’ ability to make the stories entertaining and easy to follow, and the itinerary includes named stops like Savannah Taphouse, Abe’s on Lincoln, 17hundred90, and McDonoughs.

I’d think twice if you’re only interested in drinking and have zero interest in listening to stories. This tour is still a walking storytelling experience first, and the bars are part of the package.

My final take: book it when you want a guided plan for a night out, when you’re comfortable walking around the Historic District at 8:30 pm, and when you’ll enjoy mixing a cocktail with a good spooky tale.
