Six bars, one night of Orlando hauntings. This Orlando haunted pub crawl mixes chilly tales with real downtown backstories, so you get more than just spooky vibes—you get context. I love the way the tour stays history-forward while still keeping the ghost stories moving, and I also like the small-group feel that makes it feel like a fun night out, not a factory tour.

The pace is friendly but it is not a long, slow wandering experience. Each stop is fairly short, and because alcoholic drinks are not included, you’ll want to plan a bit if you want to drink at every venue. If you’re hoping for a full-on horror production, you might find it more smart and conversational than scary.

Still, for $36 and about two hours, you’re getting a tightly organized route through some of Orlando’s most talked-about buildings and bars—starting at Elixir Kitchen and Bar and ending at Cocktails & Screams.

Key points before you go

• Six stops in about two hours makes this a great pre-dinner plan or Friday-night activity
• More history than fright keeps the mood fun and easy to follow
• Small group up to 15 helps the guide keep things personal
• Mobile ticket and a clear start/end location make it simple to find your way
• Drink stops at real venues let you sample the local bar scene (alcohol is extra)

Ghost stories that lean hard on old Orlando facts

This isn’t the type of haunted tour where you spend the whole time waiting for a jump scare. I like that it leans toward the nuts-and-bolts side of why these places matter, then layers in ghostly claims on top. That combo works well in a city like Orlando, where a lot of the story is tied to buildings that have been in use for decades—or longer.

You’ll get a guide who tells researched history and ties it to local legends. The result is that the spooky moments feel anchored instead of random. And if you’re traveling with friends who are only half into ghost stuff, this kind of mix usually lands better.

If your ideal night out is stories, atmosphere, and a few shivers without feeling stuck in one scary mood, you’re in the right place. I’d call this a chilled, story-driven haunted pub crawl.

Price and timing: what $36 buys you (and what it doesn’t)

At $36 per person for about 2 hours, the value comes from the structure. You’re not just walking by random bars—you’re getting a planned route with stops that include guided storytelling. The tour includes a professional, courteous guide, plus thoroughly researched and accurate history and authentic local ghost stories.

What’s not included is the cost of alcoholic beverages. That matters because the tour is built around places where you might want a drink at a stop. If you order something every time, your total evening cost will rise fast. If you only grab a non-alcoholic option or one drink during the best storytelling moment, you can keep it close to the original $36.

Also note that it’s in English, and it’s capped at 15 travelers. That smaller cap is part of the value: you’re less likely to feel lost in a crowd, and the guide can keep the tone friendly and clear.

Stop 1: Elixir Kitchen and Bar to kick off the haunting

You start at 55 N Orange Ave, outside Elixir Kitchen and Bar. This is your warm-up stop—the place where the guide sets the mood and gives you the first round of haunted history and chilling tales.

Why this opening works:

• It gets you into the story right away, before you move on to the more famous buildings.
• It’s a real bar environment, so the tour feels like a night out instead of an outdoor lecture.
• You get context early, which makes the later stops hit harder.

A quick reality check: the stop is about 30 minutes, so it’s not a deep, slow sit-down. You’ll hear a good chunk of story, but you should still expect to stay in motion and keep your attention sharp. If you want to ease in, this is still a good start because the energy begins light-to-medium and builds from there.

Stop 2: Historic Angebilt Hotel and the weird guest-and-staff stories

Next up is Historic Angebilt Hotel, with a shorter 10-minute stop. This is one of those quick hits where the guide focuses on reported strange encounters—claims involving both guests and staff who have described hearing or seeing things they couldn’t explain.

What to watch for here:

• Because time is tight, listen for the specific setting details the guide shares. Those little pointers make the whole legend easier to picture.
• This kind of stop is often more about the story and less about lingering. If you like fast, focused chapters, you’ll enjoy it.

A consideration: if you prefer long stops at each venue, this won’t feel like enough. But as part of the tour’s rhythm, it gives you variety and keeps the night from dragging.

Stop 3: McQueens Social Lounge, where you sip and listen

At McQueens Social Lounge, you’ll have about 20 minutes. This is a drink-and-story stop, and the vibe is built for staying present while you enjoy a beverage.

This stop tends to be a favorite because it’s balanced:

• You get time to actually relax.
• The guide tells stories tied to the bar’s historic identity.
• The energy stays social without turning into chaos.

Because alcohol isn’t included in the tour price, you control your budget here. If you want to go with the full experience, order a drink during this stop. If you want to keep it lighter, you can still enjoy the atmosphere with something non-alcoholic and focus on the stories.

In practice, this is also a smart place to pace yourself. You’ve already had your first haunted intro, so by the time you reach McQueens, you can settle into the evening instead of racing from one stop to the next.

Stop 4: Kress Building, for the whispers at the iconic façade

Then it’s to Kress Building for about 10 minutes. The theme here is eerie atmosphere—many guests report hearing whispers when they’re standing in front of this iconic building.

Why this stop is different:

• It’s shorter, but it’s aimed at a very particular kind of attention. You’re meant to stand, look, and listen while the guide frames the legend.
• Even if you don’t take the claims literally, it’s a good “try it for yourself” moment in the tour.

The practical drawback is the same as the other quick stops: if you need more time at each location, you’ll feel the clock. Still, I think Kress works because it’s more about the mood than about a long explanation. If you like sensory moments—sound, place, and story—this is the stop to give your full attention.

Stop 5: Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando and its opulent haunting reputation

Next comes Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando, another 20-minute stop. This one is described as one of the most haunted hotels in the country, and the focus is on both the building’s splendor and the stories of strange happenings and hauntings tied to it.

This is where the tour often shifts from smaller “bar legend” energy to something more grand and cinematic. You’ll get the sense of why people associate this kind of place with bigger ghost stories: impressive interiors, long timelines, and the general human instinct to attach legends to famous spaces.

A consideration: because it’s a hotel, the setting can feel more formal than the earlier bars. That’s not a bad thing—it adds variety. Just expect a quieter, more observational style of storytelling compared to the drink-centered locations.

If you like your haunted stories with a dose of style and setting, this stop is one of the best matches on the route.

Stop 6: Cocktails & Screams for the final round of stories

The tour wraps at Cocktails & Screams at 39 W Pine St, with about 30 minutes to close out the night. This is the ghost enthusiast’s dream kind of ending—more chilling tales, and a drink-focused finale.

Even though the tour is centered on bars and the vibe encourages ordering, remember that alcoholic beverages are not included in the price. Translation: treat it as your last chance to grab a drink if you want one, but don’t assume it’s covered.

Why this ending is smart:

• You finish with the most time allocated, so you’re not rushed out right after the last legend.
• It’s a good spot to unwind, ask a few extra questions, and keep the story momentum going for a little longer.
• You leave with a clear sense of where to go next, because the tour ends there.

If you want to turn the night into a longer hangout, this is the place to do it. If you want to be done after the tour, it still works well because the finale feels like a proper conclusion rather than a quick drop-off.

How to get the best experience from this 2-hour crawl

This is a compact, story-packed evening. To enjoy it fully, I recommend you treat it like a guided walking tale rather than a slow pub crawl.

Here are a few things that make a difference:

• Stay attentive during the short stops. The 10-minute locations go by fast, and that’s where the guide’s crisp storytelling matters most.
• Plan your drink strategy. Since alcohol isn’t included, you can control costs by choosing one main drink stop (McQueens is a common choice) and keeping it lighter elsewhere.
• Arrive ready to move. With six stops, the flow matters. You’ll want comfy shoes and a mindset that the night moves in chapters.

And if you’re sensitive to atmosphere, don’t worry—you’re not being forced into a scary theme. This tour is built around a mix of local history and ghost stories, so it stays fun, friendly, and easy to follow.

Who should book this Orlando haunted pub crawl?

I think this tour fits best if you want:

• A fun Friday-night plan with real places, not just a generic ghost story script
• A route that mixes history and haunting so everyone in your group has something to enjoy
• A small-group experience capped at 15 travelers, where the guide can actually keep the story moving without chaos

It may not be the best match if you’re looking for:

• A long sit-down paranormal investigation
• A horror-movie style experience with lots of waiting for scares
• An evening where alcohol is fully included

But for most people doing a first Orlando ghost night, it’s a smart choice because it gives you variety across bars and iconic buildings without swallowing your whole evening.

Should you book Orlando Haunts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl?

If you like the idea of ghost stories with context, and you’re happy with short, well-paced stops, I’d say book it. The $36 price feels fair for a guided route through six standout venues, and the small group size helps it stay personable.

I’d especially recommend it if you want a relaxed night where you can learn a bit about old Orlando while you enjoy the bar atmosphere. Just go in knowing that this is not an all-day production, alcohol costs extra, and some stops are quick by design.

If that sounds like your kind of evening—stories, a little chill, and a good downtown route—this is a solid pick.
