Savannah walks get scary fast. This all-drinks-included crawl turns a simple stroll into a guided mix of Savannah lore, craft drinks, and spooky stops. I like that your ticket covers the drinks, and your main trade-off is you’ll be on your feet for about two hours.

Next, I love the built-in variety: you pick between beer, champagne, or cocktail at each of the three stops. It also ends in a perfect spot for continuing your night, at Chippewa Square, instead of dragging yourself back to where you started.

One more thing to know: the experience leans fun and story-driven, not hardcore theater. If you want a totally silent, sit-down drinking experience, this likely isn’t your style.

Key Points Worth Knowing Before You Go

  • Three included drink stops across three different bar styles, with choices of beer, champagne, or cocktail
  • A guided walking format that keeps the story moving instead of stalling in one place
  • Folk-haunt storytelling plus local history, aimed at being spooky but not overly intense
  • Small-group feel with a maximum of 25 travelers
  • Lasts about two hours and finishes at Chippewa Square, ideal for dinner or wandering afterward
  • Rain and weather matter, with the operator stating they cancel and refund if severe conditions make walking unsafe

A Two-Hour History-and-Hops Story Walk in Savannah

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - A Two-Hour History-and-Hops Story Walk in Savannah
This tour is built around a simple idea: Savannah’s past is more fun when you experience it while walking and sipping. You get a guided route that mixes local history with ghostly lore and then rewards you at the end of each segment with a drink choice.

What makes it work is the pacing. You’re not stuck at one bar waiting for other people to finish ordering. Instead, the guide moves the group and tells the next chapter on the way.

Also, the timing is just long enough to feel like a full evening activity without swallowing your entire night. It’s roughly two hours, which is great when you’re juggling dinner plans, a show, or just limited vacation time.

Start at Georgia Tasting Room, Finish at Chippewa Square

Your meet-up is at Georgia Tasting Room, 306 W Saint Julian Street. That’s a practical starting point because it puts you close to the core of historic Savannah activity, so you’re not walking half the city before the tour even starts.

The tour ends at Chippewa Square, a major landmark people naturally gravitate back to. Even if you plan your own dinner nearby, finishing at Chippewa Square helps you keep your night flowing instead of changing directions last minute.

If you’re the type who likes to “see places in sequence,” the start-to-finish layout is also easier to remember. You spend the walk getting your bearings, then you’re done in the middle of where you’ll likely want to be next.

Three Included Drink Stops: Beer, Champagne, or Cocktail Each Time

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Three Included Drink Stops: Beer, Champagne, or Cocktail Each Time
The headline value here is straightforward: your ticket covers all drinks during the pub crawl. At each of the three stops, you get to choose a drink type—beer, champagne, or cocktail—so you’re not stuck with one category you don’t like.

That matters because alcohol add-ons can quietly inflate the cost on many tours. Here, you’re paying for the guide experience plus three drink moments up front.

One practical tip: different bars have different drink speeds. Some stops might be quicker, others might feel busier depending on the time of day. If you tend to order slowly or you like to read menus, give yourself time to enjoy the story portion while others order.

Speakeasy, Champagne Bar, and a Wine/Moonshine Slushy Stop

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Speakeasy, Champagne Bar, and a Wine/Moonshine Slushy Stop
The itinerary is built around three distinct settings, each with its own vibe.

At the first stop, you’re funneled into a darker, more secretive mood: a speakeasy-style experience. Even if you’re not a nightlife expert, these places are designed for atmosphere—dimmer lighting, moodier interiors, and a sense of you stepping into a different era.

Next comes something more polished: a classy champagne bar. This stop tends to shift the tone from spooky and hidden to celebratory and refined. It’s a nice contrast because you’re not just drinking theme-appropriate beverages—you’re also getting a change in the storytelling energy.

Finally, you end at a more playful drink format: a wine/moonshine slushy bar. This is the stop people often bring up because it’s not the typical crawl choice. If you’re used to straight beer or standard cocktails, the slushy option can feel like a fun curveball—and it’s an easy way to keep your drink going while still moving with the group.

A note on enjoying your drink: the operator states you can carry your drink with you if you want to keep sipping while walking, so you don’t feel stuck to finish every sip on the spot.

The Haunts Factor: Spooky Stories Without Going Too Far

This isn’t marketed as a scare-theater marathon. The goal is to mix haunted stories with Savannah’s actual past, and to keep it entertaining rather than terrifying.

Guides are a big reason people rate this so highly. Names that come up include Addison, Chris, and Austin—and multiple comments praise how the guides balance history talk with spooky tales. In plain terms, the best version of this tour is when you get a guide who can make facts feel like story, not a lecture.

You can also expect a “guided photos and references” style of storytelling at times. Some people mention seeing photos during the walk, which can be useful because it helps you connect what the guide is describing to what you’re looking at around you.

If you’re traveling with a group that includes people who get anxious about heavy ghost content, this format is a safer choice than full-on horror tours. The haunt side is there, but it’s kept in check.

Pace and Timing: How to Keep Up (Especially If You Sip Slowly)

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Pace and Timing: How to Keep Up (Especially If You Sip Slowly)
This crawl is about momentum. You’re walking between stops and you’re expected to move when the group moves.

That’s why your best strategy is simple: treat each stop like a chapter, not a long bar hang. One review-style warning in the mix is that the time between pubs can feel tight if you want to finish drinks slowly. If you’re the type who orders one drink and then chats for a while, you may feel the clock.

The good news is that the operator specifically notes you can take drinks with you. So if you don’t finish right away, you can keep enjoying it while you walk to the next scene.

Also, the tour length is approximate—about two hours—so it’s worth arriving on time at the start. If you’re late, the group pacing has to adjust, and that’s when tours can feel less smooth.

Value at $60: What You’re Really Paying For

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Value at $60: What You’re Really Paying For
At $60 per person for about two hours, the question is whether you’re paying for alcohol, or paying for the experience.

Here’s the value logic that makes this one make sense:

  • You’re getting three included drink moments rather than buying one drink and calling it a tour.
  • You’re paying for a guide to connect Savannah landmarks and stories while you walk.
  • You’re not just doing a ghost tour or just doing a drinking tour—you’re getting both in a single plan.

If you were going to have more than one drink anyway, the included drinks reduce the stress of budgeting your night. If you plan to stay disciplined and only have one drink total, you might feel like you’re paying for drinks you didn’t fully want.

Tip for saving a little: there’s a promo code listed as SNS10 for extra savings, so it’s worth trying before you check out.

Weather and Walking Reality in Savannah

This is a walking tour, so weather is part of the deal.

The operator says the experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. They also state they cancel when severe weather makes walking unsafe.

For planning, I treat it like this: if the forecast looks questionable, I go into it ready with appropriate rain gear. If you wait until the last minute with no cover, you’ll feel it.

On the booking side, there’s free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance of the experience’s start time for a full refund. So you can book early for the best chance of availability, then adjust if conditions change.

Who Should Book This Pub Crawl (and Who Might Not)

This tour fits best if you want a fun, guided night that combines stories and drinking without complicated planning.

You’ll probably enjoy it if:

  • you like Savannah’s ghost lore but want it in a light, social format
  • you want three drink stops without keeping a running tab
  • you’re traveling with friends or a couple and want a shared activity that’s easy to coordinate

You might hesitate if:

  • you hate walking for two hours
  • you want long bar stays and slow pacing at each stop
  • your ideal evening is more quiet and less story-forward

One more practical note: the tour caps at 25 travelers, and people describe group sizes that feel social rather than chaotic. Still, if you’re planning a big event like a large bachelorette group, you may want to consider whether the crowding around certain holidays could affect the vibe.

Should You Book History, Haunts and Hops?

I’d book it if you want a simple “do this tonight” plan that gives you value through included drinks and a guided walking story. It’s one of those Savannah activities that helps you feel like you saw more than just streets and bars.

Before you commit, check your weather window, and think about your drinking style. If you’re open to sampling different drink types—beer, champagne, cocktail, plus that wine/moonshine slushy stop—then the $60 price starts to feel fair because the cost isn’t creeping upward during the tour.

Finally, arrive ready to walk, bring a good mood, and let the guide set the rhythm. When it clicks, this is a fun way to get history with a spooky grin.
