Ghost stories work best with a drink in hand. This Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl mixes haunted history with some of the city’s most memorable taverns. I like that it’s guided, story-driven, and built around classic Savannah landmarks, not random bar hopping.

Two stops really pull you in: the creepy Colonial Park Cemetery and the tavern energy at Original Pinkie Masters. That said, the tour includes walking more than a mile at night, so if you struggle with steady pavement or crowds, you’ll want to think twice.

Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl in a Nutshell

This is a 2-hour, 21-and-up haunted walking tour in Savannah that blends historic sites, pubs, and local ghost lore. You’ll hit 8 haunted, historic locations total, including 4 pub stops, with time at each stop ranging from about 15–20 minutes up to an hour. The lineup can shift from tour to tour, so your exact mix of taverns and sites may vary.

You meet your guide at Oglethorpe Square, a compact square where the guide wears a black USGA-branded t-shirt and carries a lantern. From there, you’re led through Savannah’s historic lanes with well-researched history threaded into paranormal tales—plus a special drink-themed stop tied to Chatham Artiller Punch.

Key Highlights You’ll Actually Notice

• Colonial Park Cemetery sets a seriously chilly tone
• Original Pinkie Masters is one of the crawl’s anchor taverns
• Sixpence Pub is where the temperature-lowering effect is part of the vibe
• Chatham Artiller Punch is built into the story beats of the night
• Guides like Ashley and Miranda are praised for keeping the mood fun and the group moving

Why This Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl Feels Different

Savannah has plenty of “haunted tours.” What makes this one work is the format: you’re not just hearing spooky stories in the dark. You’re stopping inside historic pubs, then stepping back out into the streets, where the mood snaps from drink-in-hand to goosebumps-on-approach.

I also appreciate the balance here. The tour doesn’t only sell ghosts. It’s framed as both paranormal storytelling and credible, well-researched historic context. That’s a big deal if you care about why Savannah is the way it is, not just scary noises and dramatic lighting.

Meeting at Oglethorpe Square: The Start That Gets You Oriented Fast

You’ll begin at Oglethorpe Square. It’s small, which helps. The guide is easy to spot: black USGA t-shirt, lantern in hand. That sounds basic, but on a night crawl it matters. You don’t want to waste your first 15 minutes hunting for the group, especially when you’re dressed for walking and the clock is ticking.

One more practical point: the experience includes an express security check and skip-the-line style entry. That can make a real difference for a 2-hour tour, where delays eat into the time you paid for. It’s also a reminder that this is structured like a guided event, not a casual meet-and-mingle.

The 2-Hour Schedule: How the Pace Stays Fun (Not Exhausting)

This crawl runs about 2 hours, and each stop lasts from 15–20 minutes up to an hour depending on where you are in the route. That time range is intentional. It’s long enough to settle in at a pub, hear the story, and actually enjoy the atmosphere. It’s also short enough that you still feel like you’re moving through Savannah, not stuck at one location.

There’s also a small-but-important reality: this is not a sit-down tour. You’ll be walking between stops and you should plan for more than a mile of night walking overall. The tour is wheelchair accessible, but you still need to be able to handle the walking distance comfortably. If a mile at night is already a struggle for you, I’d treat that as a deal-breaker.

Colonial Park Cemetery: When the Stories Get Cold

No haunted itinerary in Savannah feels complete without a cemetery stop, and this one calls out Colonial Park Cemetery as an infamous chill factor. What’s great about this stop is the emotional contrast. You’ve just been in tavern energy—music, chatter, the whole adult version of playtime—and then you step toward silence and shadows.

This is also where the guide’s approach matters. A good story-teller changes pacing: shorter beats, more atmosphere, and clear direction so you’re not wandering. The cemetery stop is the kind of location where you want to be present, not distracted. Wear comfortable shoes because you may be moving around rather than standing in one spot for the whole time.

Original Pinkie Masters: A Tavern Stop That Feels Like Savannah

One of the praised anchor locations is Original Pinkie Masters. I love tavern stops on ghost tours when they do two things: they feel historically grounded and they give you enough time to actually take in the place. This tour aims for that by building stops into its structure, including enough time for the ambiance to land.

The practical upside: taverns also give you a warm reset. If the night air turns sharp, you can duck in and refocus. And if you’re the type who likes to ask questions, pub stops are usually when the guide can talk more conversationally, without forcing you to hold still in the street.

17hundred90: Another Historic Anchor in the Mix

17hundred90 is the other named tavern stop on the crawl. Having two specific historic pubs called out matters because it signals that the tour isn’t just tossing you into whatever place is closest. You’re going to locations with identity—places where the stories make sense in the setting.

Like the other taverns, expect a structured visit: you’ll be there for long enough to hear the narrative connection between the site and Savannah’s haunted reputation, and long enough to sip something if you want to. Since food and drinks are listed as not included, it’s smart to come ready to pay for your preferred drink, or at least bring a plan for how you’ll handle alcohol during a walking tour.

Sixpence Pub: The Moment the Night Drops a Notch

The crawl calls out Sixpence Pub as the place where you feel the temperature drop when you enter. I take that as more than superstition. It’s a cue about how the tour builds suspense: you get the location, then you get the effect—cooler air, deeper mood, and the guide steering your attention to the next layer of story.

This is a classic “transition stop,” where the tour shifts from roaming to listening. If you tend to get chatty with friends during tours, try to keep your focus here. This stop is where the atmosphere does part of the work for the guide.

Beyond the Named Stops: What the Other Historic Sites Add

You’ll visit 8 historic, haunted sites, including 4 pubs. You’ve got named anchors (Oglethorpe Square, Colonial Park Cemetery, Original Pinkie Masters, 17hundred90, Sixpence Pub), and then there are additional haunted locations included in the total count.

Even without the names spelled out in your details, the value is clear: the route is built to keep you seeing Savannah as it changes by neighborhood and landmark. Those extra stops are what prevent the tour from feeling like a two-tavern story with long walks in between. They also keep the variety high—streetscape, historic sites, and pubs mixed in so the night stays interesting even if you’re not a hardcore paranormal fan.

Chatham Artiller Punch: The Drink With a Story Behind It

The highlight calls out Chatham Artiller Punch, described as the drink that saved the city. That’s the kind of phrase that deserves context, and that’s exactly how the tour uses it—as a story beat, not just a random beverage stop.

One careful note for value: food and drinks are listed as not included. So even if you’re definitely going to hear the punch story, you should treat tasting it as something you may need to pay for during the pub stops. If you want to plan your budget tightly, it’s worth confirming what’s included versus what you can buy on-site when you book.

The Best Part Is the Guide: Ashley, Miranda, and the Group Energy

The reviews point hard to one theme: the guide can make or break the night. Ashley earned praise for being very knowledgeable and handling the group with patience, even when the party mood ramps up. Miranda is also highlighted for keeping the tour fun and for helping the group see a lot of places in the time you have.

That matters because you’re paying for two things at once: storytelling and logistics. A tour like this succeeds when the guide keeps it moving, controls the vibe, and gives you enough time at each stop to feel like you got your money’s worth. The format here is designed for that—structured locations, a clear meeting point, and a 2-hour cap—so you get spooky plus a plan.

What to Wear and Bring (So You Don’t Hate Yourself Later)

This is a nighttime walking tour, rain or shine. The tour also asks for comfortable shoes, which is not optional. You’ll be walking between historic stops and spending time in different environments, including a cemetery stop, which can mean uneven ground and colder air.

Bring:

• ID card (a copy is accepted)
• Comfortable shoes for walking

Do not expect:

• Food included
• Drinks included

Also note the rules:

• No smoking
• No video recording

If you’re the kind of person who loves photos, plan on using normal phone etiquette without recording video. And if you’re sensitive about movement or noise, remember this is a pub-crawl-style group. You’ll be in a social crowd, not a silent museum tour.

Price and Value: Does $30 Make Sense for 2 Hours?

At $30 per person for a 2-hour guided crawl, this is positioned as an affordable evening activity compared with longer ticketed tours. The value comes from three places:

First, you’re not just buying ghost stories—you’re buying a guided route that includes 8 historic, haunted sites and 4 pub stops. That is a lot of “places per hour.”

Second, the tour is built around credible history and authentic local ghost stories, not generic creepiness.

Third, it helps you avoid the awkward parts of DIY. Without a guide, you might wander between spots and miss the connections. Here, the tour makes the connections for you—site to story, story to place.

The one cost caveat is drinks. Since food and drinks are not included, your real nightly total depends on what you choose to order. Still, even if you keep purchases light, you’re paying for the experience structure.

Who Should Book This Tour (And Who Should Skip It)

This tour is a great fit if you:

• Like haunted history but want it grounded in real places
• Enjoy pubs and want a guided excuse to try Savannah’s tavern atmosphere
• Want to see multiple sides of the city in about 2 hours
• Care that the guide keeps the tone fun and organized

It’s not a great fit if you:

• Can’t comfortably walk more than about one mile
• Need a quiet, low-energy experience
• Are under 21 (the tour is not suitable for anyone under 21)

Should You Book Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

I’d book it if you want an organized, story-first night that uses Savannah’s historic landmarks like props—pub interiors for atmosphere, cemetery grounds for chills, and street-level walking for that classic Savannah mood. The $30 price feels fair for what you get, especially because the stops are structured and the guide experience is clearly a priority, with strong praise for Ashley and Miranda.

I’d skip it if walking is a problem for you, or if you’re expecting drinks to be fully covered and included. This is an alcohol-themed tour experience, but the practical reality is you’ll likely buy what you want at the taverns.
