Ghosts and cocktails in Savannah, on foot. This haunted pub crawl turns historic streets into a nighttime storybook, starting at haunted Oglethorpe Square with a lantern-carrying guide. I like how the ghost tales are tied to specific places you’ll actually see, not vague “spooky vibes.”

I also like the built-in pub pacing, with time set aside at each stop so you can hear the story and still enjoy the atmosphere. And you get a taste of Savannah tradition with the included Chatham Artillery Punch, described as the drink that saved the city.

One thing to plan around: this is a walking tour, and it’s not recommended if you can’t handle more than about one mile on foot. Add in that food and extra drinks aren’t included (so budget for what you’ll want to buy), and you’ll have a clearer idea of whether this fits your night.

Key points to know before you go

• Lantern guide at Oglethorpe Square: look for a black USGA-branded t-shirt and the lantern to find your group fast
• Eight haunted stops in two hours: four taverns plus other historic haunted sites, with time at each location
• Named pub stops you can look for: Original Pinkie Masters, 17hundred90, and Sixpence Pub
• Colonial Park Cemetery is the signature chill: expect the most unnerving moment in the route
• Chatham Artillery Punch is included: one classic Savannah drink that’s more than a prop
• Small rules that matter: no smoking, no video recording, and ID is required

Starting at haunted Oglethorpe Square: where the night sets its tone

If you’re the type who likes your travel stories grounded in real streets, this is your kind of Savannah night. The crawl kicks off at haunted Oglethorpe Square, a small starting area where your guide will be easy to spot. The guide wears a black USGA-branded t-shirt and carries a lantern, which helps you get oriented quickly and avoid wandering the wrong direction.

Right from the start, you’re in “walking tour mode,” not “sit and listen” mode. That matters, because Savannah’s charm is often in how the city reveals itself block by block—small corners, historic facades, and the occasional sense that the past is still hovering nearby. This tour leans into that, using the route itself as part of the storytelling.

Two hours on foot: the pace, the walking, and the comfort check

This experience runs about 2 hours, with the tour starting at times you can confirm when you check availability. The rhythm is built around multiple stops, and the time you spend at each one can range from 15–20 minutes up to an hour. That range is helpful: shorter stops keep you moving, while longer stops let you slow down, absorb the atmosphere, and actually hear the story without feeling rushed.

Still, you should be realistic about your comfort level. The tour is not recommended if you can’t walk more than about one mile. That guideline is important because the route is designed to connect historic sites at night, and Savannah streets don’t always feel flat or easy under dim lighting. If you’re debating between this and an option with less walking, choose the one that matches your stamina.

One more practical point: transportation is not included. Plan on getting yourself to the meeting point and staying in the “on foot” mindset for the night.

The pub lineup: four taverns, including Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90

A big reason people book a haunted pub crawl is simple: pubs give you setting, social energy, and a natural pause during the walk. This tour includes eight historic, haunted sites, and four of them are taverns/pubs. The lineup can change from tour to tour, but you’ll reliably hit a few named favorites.

Here are the taverns you should watch for on your schedule:

Original Pinkie Masters: the kind of place legends love

Original Pinkie Masters is one of the named taverns on the route. What makes a stop like this valuable is the mix of atmosphere and story potential. Even if you’re not a paranormal fanatic, a historic tavern is a great stage for ghost lore because these places were built for conversation—so the guide’s tales land better in a room where people naturally talk, laugh, and linger.

17hundred90: another historic stop with a strong “old Savannah” feel

17hundred90 is also on the listed pub lineup. Again, the advantage here isn’t just the name—it’s that the crawl gives you time at each location (often 15–20 minutes, sometimes longer), so you’re not sprinting between doors. You get a chance to settle in, listen, and then decide whether you want to stay for an extra round once the story wraps.

Sixpence Pub: where the mood turns colder

Sixpence Pub is another named stop, and the tour description flags it as a moment where the temperature plummets when you enter. Even if you treat the “temperature” line as part of the theatrical framing, the point is the same: the guide uses this location to shift the night toward more intense ghost energy.

One additional tavern stop (you’ll get the details day-of)

The tour includes four taverns total, and only three are named in the information you were given. That means your fourth pub may vary, depending on the tour’s rotating lineup. The useful takeaway: expect variety, not a cookie-cutter route every night.

Colonial Park Cemetery: the infamous stop that slows people down

If the crawl has a signature moment, it’s Colonial Park Cemetery. The description calls it infamous, and the vibe shift is clear: this is where you’re likely to feel the most serious chill scurry up your spine.

Cemetery stops work differently than pub stops. Pubs are for warmth, light, and conversation. A cemetery is for space—quiet corners, older stones, and that “why is it so still?” feeling you can’t really manufacture. On this kind of tour, that difference is the point. The guide ties the paranormal tales to the setting, so you’re not just walking through a landmark—you’re seeing how the city’s history can become a story people still tell.

I like routes that include one heavier stop, because it gives the night a shape. You’re not just bouncing between drinks; you’re experiencing the emotional arc of the tour.

What you get from the other six haunted sites (even when names aren’t listed)

Because the tour includes 8 haunted sites total, you’ll have more than just the four taverns and Colonial Park Cemetery. Some of the specific site names may not be listed in your pre-read, and the tour also notes that the lineup can change from tour to tour.

So how should you think about the “other” stops? Treat them as the connective tissue of Savannah’s haunted narrative. They’re where the guide helps you connect dots between historic events, local lore, and the physical layout of the city. In practice, these in-between sites can be the most informative, because they help you understand why the cemetery and taverns matter—rather than feeling like you showed up only for the drink locations.

The included Chatham Artillery Punch: a classic Savannah taste with a story

One of the clearest value anchors in this tour is the included drink: Chatham Artillery Punch. The tour describes it as the drink that saved the city. Whether you love it or you sip it more than you gulp it, having a specific drink included does something important: it makes the tour feel anchored to Savannah, not just “a haunted walk where alcohol happens to be nearby.”

Because food and drinks are not included beyond what’s specified, this matters for your budget and planning. You’ll get the included punch, but if you want additional drinks, you’ll need to buy them at the stops. That’s normal for a pub crawl, but it’s worth saying out loud so there are no surprises.

Guide energy matters: Ashley and Miranda are a big part of the appeal

The experience quality depends heavily on the guide, and the strongest praise in the information you provided centers on guide personality and pacing. Ashley received high marks for being very well-prepared and for understanding when the group was getting drunk. That’s a practical compliment: it suggests the guide keeps control of the group dynamic while still keeping the night fun.

Miranda was praised for keeping the tour fun and for helping the group see a lot of places. That’s another key point. A haunted pub crawl can become chaotic if the guide rushes or if the group drifts. Positive comments about seeing lots of places and staying on track usually mean the timing actually works.

In short: pick this tour if you want a guide who can balance storytelling with real-world group energy.

Price and value: why $30 can make sense for a two-hour night

At $30 per person for about 2 hours, this isn’t a “cheap drinks only” deal. But it can be good value if you want three things together:

• A guided route through historic sites (not just wandering on your own)
• Ghost stories and credible local history delivered in a planned way
• Four pub stops plus the included Chatham Artillery Punch

The tour also covers 8 historic haunted sites (including those four pubs), which is a lot of ground to cover in a short time. With food not included, the punch helps offset some costs, and the guidance helps you get more out of what you’re seeing than a self-guided stroll.

If you’re the type who likes to “pay once and let someone else handle the route,” $30 is usually fair for a guided nightlife experience in a historic city.

What to bring and what to avoid: small rules that affect the night

This tour is designed for comfort and simple participation. Bring comfortable shoes—you’ll thank yourself when the night is cooler and the sidewalks feel longer than you expected. You also need an ID card (a copy is accepted).

A few things are not allowed:

• Smoking is not allowed
• Video recording is not allowed

And you should dress for a night out because tours run rain or shine. Plan for weather, not just temperature.

Also, there’s an age guideline: it’s not suitable for people under 21. If you’re traveling with a younger group, you’ll need a different plan.

Should you book Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

I’d book this tour if you want an evening that blends three parts you can’t easily replicate alone: a guided walking route, historic haunted stops (including Colonial Park Cemetery), and pub time in places like Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90, capped off with Chatham Artillery Punch. The guide feedback—Ashley handling group energy and Miranda keeping things fun while seeing a lot—suggests the tour runs in a way that works for real groups, not just perfect ones.

I would skip it if walking more than about one mile doesn’t feel comfortable for you, or if you’re not interested in a night where alcohol is part of the vibe (even with no food included). Also, if you hate unpredictable lineup changes, note that the watering holes can vary from tour to tour.

Bottom line: if your ideal Savannah night includes a little fear, a little history, and a couple of great stops to toast with, this is a solid value pick for a 2-hour outing.
