Spooky Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl

Savannah gets spooky after sundown. This haunted pub crawl blends ghost lore with real bar-hopping in the historic district, with major stops like Colonial Park Cemetery and Wright Square plus multiple haunted pubs along the walk. I especially like the mix of sites that feel historically grounded, and the way guides use the night’s energy to keep the stories moving.

One watch-out: it is mostly an outdoor walking experience, so cold nights and busy event nights can make it harder to stay engaged if you prefer cozy indoor storytelling.

Key things to know before you go

• Colonial Park Cemetery stop: Revolutionary War soldier and Yellow Fever–era ghost stories in the oldest municipal cemetery in the US.
• Wright Square stop: the old hanging square, with lore tied to Savannah’s darker past.
• Bar-hopping that keeps you moving: you can bring your drink along as you head to the next spot.
• Four haunted pubs are part of the plan: history plus a lively pub atmosphere.
• Group size maxes at 30: large enough for energy, small enough that you can still hear the guide.
• You pay for the tour, not the drinks: $33 covers the guide and crawl, drinks are extra.

Setting Expectations: A haunted crawl, not a scripted ghost show

Spooky Savannah is designed like a night out first, history class second. The guide walks you through key landmarks after dark, tells spooky stories, and then you move on to historic bars where you order your own drinks.

That format is exactly why many people love it. You get the supernatural angle without sitting through one long lecture, and the pace naturally creates conversation in the group. The downside is simple: if you come expecting nonstop, theatrical storytelling at every stop, you might feel a little “between stories” while you wait to order or when the group regroups.

The crowd context matters too. A few guides are described as funny, personable, and interactive, and those nights feel like you’re out with a knowledgeable friend. On busier nights or when the group is on the large side, the delivery can feel more spread out, and you may not get as many story beats per minute.

Price and value: $33 buys the night, not the drinks

At $33 per person, the math works best if you treat this as a guided way to see Savannah’s haunted spots and score a fun route through the evening. Your ticket covers the local guide and the haunted crawl experience itself. Drinks at the bars are not included, so you’ll want to plan for extra spend depending on what you order.

The value also depends on how much you like walking. This is a short-to-moderate duration tour, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, so it’s not a half-day commitment. You’re paying for concentration: a focused route, multiple stops, and a guide who connects the dots between the city’s landmarks and its legends.

If you’re trying to keep costs down, I’d treat it like this: buy one drink you actually want at the first or second bar, then keep your budget in check while you enjoy the walking and stories. If you love tasting new drinks, you’ll still likely feel the price is fair because you’re paying for guidance through a real, historic district.

Start at 17Hundred90: the easiest way to begin

The meeting point is at 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, 307 E President St, Savannah, GA. Tours start at 7:30 pm, so plan to arrive a few minutes early to check in and get your group together before the guide sets the tone.

Your tour ends at or near Colonial Park Cemetery on 200 Abercorn St, and sometimes the finish shifts to Chippewa Square depending on how the night runs. That end location is helpful because it puts you back in the core historic area, where you can usually find something else to do without a long trip.

One more practical note: this is for adults, with a minimum age of 21. If you’re bringing friends and you’re planning a birthday or group night, make sure everyone in your party meets the age requirement ahead of time.

Colonial Park Cemetery: the ghost stop that sets the mood

The first major stop is Colonial Park Cemetery, with a dedicated visit of about 15 minutes. This cemetery is described as the oldest municipal cemetery in the US, and the guide’s stories focus on Revolutionary War soldiers and Yellow Fever victims.

Why this stop matters for your experience: the stories here give the whole crawl a grounded feeling. Instead of just chasing spooky vibes, you’re starting with the kind of history that sticks in your mind. Even if you’re not a hardcore ghost fan, you’ll likely appreciate how the landmark ties into Savannah’s reputation for haunting lore.

A drawback for some people is how outdoor these “story breaks” can be. If the evening is chilly, you may feel that you want to get inside for longer. That’s not a problem with the tour concept, it’s just physics: cemeteries and squares are open-air by nature.

Wright Square: the old hanging square story stop

Next you’ll head to Wright Square, another 15-minute stop. Wright Square is known as the old hanging square, and the guide uses that context to share Savannah’s darker legends.

This is a good contrast to Colonial Park Cemetery. Cemetery stories tend to feel slow and reflective, while square stories often feel sharper—more immediate, more dramatic. Together, the two stops give you a nice “arc” early in the tour: you start with the past’s suffering and then shift into the city’s more frightening folklore.

If you like places with strong atmosphere, this part usually lands well. Just keep your expectations realistic about time at each stop. Fifteen minutes goes quickly, especially when the guide is explaining lore and the group is trying to take photos.

City Market and Riverstreet approach: where the night gets louder

After the first two historic stops, the route moves toward the social side of Savannah. The plan includes a stop at the heart of City Market and another stop just above Riverstreet.

I like this middle portion because it changes the vibe. You go from quiet, landmark-based storytelling to an area where you can feel the city’s nightlife energy. That shift matters on a pub crawl, because it helps the stories stay connected to what you’re actually doing—walking, meeting people, and ordering drinks.

Two practical tips help here:

• Wear shoes that work for uneven sidewalks and repeated walking.
• Keep an eye on the group. When you reach busier areas, it’s easier to drift and lose the meeting point.

This is also where you’ll start to feel the bar-crawl mechanics more clearly. The tour is built around multiple pub stops, and the walking between them is part of the experience.

The haunted pubs: four stops, your drink in hand

One of the headline features is visiting four haunted pubs. You stop, order a drink, and then you can take it to go as you walk to the next location.

That “drink with you” detail is more useful than it sounds. It keeps the night from feeling choppy, and it lets you spend your time on the story and the walk instead of waiting around for everyone to finish. It also helps if one bar is busy: you don’t feel stuck in one place for the full time allotment.

You may recognize some locations from Savannah’s reputation. The tour route has included well-known stops like 17Hundred90, where the famous key-lime pie shots come up in conversation. Other bar references from guide experiences include Stafford’s, and there’s even mention of a secret speakeasy below as part of the fun of exploring.

What varies most is the guide’s style and the order of stops on any given night. Some guides are praised for humor and interactive storytelling, and that’s the difference between a list of haunted bars and a cohesive haunted evening.

Guide personalities: why the night can feel different

The biggest driver of quality here is the guide. Names show up again and again in positive feedback, and you can see why people return.

For example, Hoodoo Joe is described as a strong mix of Savannah ghost lore and timed dad jokes. Penny Dreadful gets repeated praise for being welcoming, animated, and story-forward, with explanations that connect sights and legends. Madame Redrum is noted for knowledge of Savannah’s history and legends, plus a personality that keeps the group engaged.

Other guides named in the feedback include Hot Rod Rick, Abbie Normal, and Madame Redrum again across different groups, which suggests the company rotates performers based on availability.

The fair warning from the full range of feedback: guide delivery can vary. There have been cancellations and refunds tied to poor guide performance, and a few guests felt the tour wasn’t spooky or story-dense enough. So if you’re picky about storytelling style, pick your moment. This tour works best if you want a lively pub crawl with stories woven throughout, not a fully scripted horror monologue.

Walking pace, group size, and hearing the stories

This tour runs with a maximum group size of 30. That size can be a sweet spot—enough people for social energy, but usually not so many that you can’t track the guide.

Still, the night can feel different depending on how crowded the bars are and how quickly people order. Some reviews mention slower drink lines at the first bar on busy nights. When that happens, the tour time shifts in practice, and the guide may end up spending more effort on logistics than on storytelling.

You can fix part of this by choosing the right night for your style. Weeknights tend to be easier, with fewer crowd crush moments. Big event dates can make it harder to keep the group together and keep your attention on the guide’s words.

If you hate noise and want a quiet, guaranteed audio experience, this probably won’t be your favorite way to learn Savannah’s haunted side. If you like banter and the idea of a group walk that turns into bar time, you’ll likely enjoy the vibe.

Weather and comfort: what to wear for a spooky night out

Because it’s an evening pub crawl through outdoor landmarks, weather matters. The experience is described as requiring good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s good policy, because cold wind can drain the fun fast.

For comfort, bring what you’d bring for a normal Savannah night with walking: supportive shoes and a layer. If you’re visiting in cooler months, the cemetery and square stops can feel longer than the minutes suggest.

Also consider your alcohol tolerance and hydration. You’ll be walking, you’ll likely order a drink or two, and you’ll be out for under two hours. This is not a long endurance hike, but it still deserves basic common sense: pace yourself, and keep water in mind if you plan multiple drinks.

Who this pub crawl is perfect for

This tour fits well if you want three things at once:

• a guided route through Savannah’s historic district
• spooky stories tied to real landmarks
• a fun bar night that doesn’t require planning each stop yourself

It’s especially appealing for couples and small groups who want an easy date-night format. It also works well if you’re new to Savannah and want to learn a few stories quickly, then keep the evening rolling afterward.

If your goal is strictly storytelling, you might find better match elsewhere. The tour’s nature is social and movement-based, and the ghost content can feel more evenly spread rather than delivered as one uninterrupted show.

If mobility is an issue, skip it. It is not recommended for travelers with mobility challenges, which makes sense when the experience includes walking between outdoor stops and bars.

Should you book Spooky Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl?

Book it if you want a short, guided, social way to see haunted Savannah at night. The $33 price is a reasonable entry fee for a guided route, multiple landmark stops, and four haunted pub visits, as long as you’re comfortable buying your own drinks and you like walking.

Skip it if you need long indoor story time, you dislike noisy bar atmospheres, or you’re sensitive to cold weather on outdoor stops. And if you’re very picky about story density, you may prefer a more traditional ghost tour style instead of a pub-crawl format.

If you’re ready for a spooky night that feels like hanging out in Savannah’s historic heart, this one is a strong bet.
