Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah’s Historic District

Savannah’s Creepy Crawl mixes ghost stories with a real pub crawl, taking you through the Historic District after dark. You stop at up to four local bars, walk among the city squares, and pause outside Colonial Park Cemetery to hear about Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

I like the freedom to buy a drink or sit one out, and I like the guide-led look at Savannah’s streets between bar stops. Guides such as Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have earned strong praise for their storytelling, drink suggestions, and local tips. The main catch is focus: some outings lean more toward Savannah history and bar knowledge than serious ghost lore.

Key points to know

• Four local bar stops: You visit up to four Savannah pubs, with time to buy drinks and use the restroom.
• Colonial Park Cemetery: The tour pauses outside the gate, where you hear about Button Gwinnett and other eerie local stories.
• Guides shape the night: Pierce, Andre, and Kelly are praised for humor, history, and storytelling, though guide quality can vary.
• Drinks cost extra: You can purchase alcoholic drinks at each stop, but nothing is included in the $30 price.
• Easy evening walk: The route lasts about two hours and passes through squares, historic streets, bars, and spooky sites.
• Adults only: Everyone in your group must be at least 21, and the maximum group size is 20.

Starting at Six Pence Pub on Bull Street

Your night begins at Six Pence Pub, 245 Bull Street, in Savannah’s Historic District. This is a sensible starting point for a walking night out because the tour moves straight into the city’s old squares, nightlife streets, and bar scene.

You meet your guide, then set off on foot. The walk is not simply a transfer from one pub to the next. Along the way, your guide mixes stories about local hauntings with facts about Savannah’s streets, homes, squares, and past residents.

That mix is important to understand before booking. This is not a theatrical haunted house with actors or staged effects. The experience depends on spoken stories, the atmosphere of Savannah after dark, and the personality of the guide leading your group.

The strongest guides, including Pierce and Andre, have been praised for making the history easy to follow and adding useful suggestions for the rest of your visit. Pierce is also known for recommending drinks and pointing people toward places to eat and visit later. Kelly has been praised for a more interactive style.

Four pubs, four chances to set your own pace

The tour visits up to four local bars and pubs. The exact mix can vary, so you should not book it expecting one fixed list of venues. The bars are part of the experience, not just places where the group happens to stop.

At each pub, you have time to purchase a drink and use the restroom. You may carry a drink as you continue walking, which fits Savannah’s nightlife rules and keeps the route moving. Drinks are not included, so you control your spending and can skip alcohol entirely.

That flexibility gives the $30 price more value for some people. You pay for the guide, the stories, the route, and access to a planned evening of stops, but you are not forced to buy four drinks. If you are trying several local pours, your final bill will be higher than the tour price. If you only buy one drink, you can keep the night fairly modest.

The pubs also give the tour a social feel. You are not standing in one dark spot listening for two hours. You move through the city, enter or stop near bars, and get a chance to see how Savannah’s old streets function after sunset.

One limitation is that the pub portion can overshadow the paranormal side. Some guides spend more time explaining bar specialties, local history, or their own stories than discussing hauntings. If your goal is a serious ghost investigation, you may find the night too light. If you want a guided bar walk with spooky material, the balance is more appealing.

Colonial Park Cemetery and the Button Gwinnett story

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the tour’s most memorable historical stops. It is described as Savannah’s oldest burial ground, and the group pauses outside the gate rather than touring through the cemetery.

Your guide tells stories connected with the cemetery and its famous residents, including Button Gwinnett. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his connection to the cemetery gives the stop a useful link between American history and Savannah’s darker tales.

Do not expect a long cemetery visit or a private nighttime entry. The cemetery is viewed from outside the gate. That matters if you are picturing a slow walk among tombstones. The atmosphere still comes from the old cemetery wall, the dark streets, and the stories, but the stop is more of a guided viewing point.

You can bring a camera if you want to look for orbs or other odd images. Keep your expectations sensible. A camera may add a playful activity for your group, but the tour does not promise paranormal evidence.

This stop also shows why the tour works best for people who enjoy both history and ghosts. The story of a Declaration signer is not a standard horror tale. It gives you context for Savannah’s past, then lets the guide connect that past with local legends and reported spirit activity.

Savannah after dark, with history between the bars

The route takes you through Savannah’s city squares and historic streets. The squares are a major part of the setting. By day, they invite slow sightseeing; at night, the trees, old buildings, and quiet corners create a different mood.

You hear about spooky sites as you walk, not only inside bars. That helps the tour feel tied to Savannah rather than like a standard pub crawl that happens to use ghost-themed marketing.

Still, the amount of paranormal material depends heavily on the guide. Some outings include several strong ghost stories and animated storytelling. Others spend more time on general city history, bar recommendations, and jokes. A few accounts describe a route that felt drawn out, with too much lecture and not enough suspense.

I would treat the night as a history-and-pub walk with supernatural content, not as a pure ghost tour. That description sets a fair expectation. You may hear about murders, poltergeist activity, haunted buildings, and other eerie tales, but the supplied details do not promise a fixed number of ghost stories or a specific haunted location inside each bar.

The city itself does much of the work. Savannah’s old streets and cemetery walls provide atmosphere without props. If you enjoy listening to a guide while taking in the streets, this format can be fun. If you need scares every few minutes, it may feel mild.

The guides make or break the experience

The most important variable is the person holding the story together. Pierce is repeatedly praised for his command of Savannah’s past, his ghost stories, his drink suggestions, and his willingness to answer questions. Andre is praised for energy, patience, humor, and a strong blend of history and paranormal tales. Kelly is described as engaging and interactive.

That is the best case. There are also serious complaints about guides appearing intoxicated, using too much profanity, talking for too long, skipping the final bar, or failing to enter the pubs with the group. These complaints are not minor matters. A walking tour relies on a guide who can manage time, speak clearly, and keep the group comfortable.

The maximum group size is 20. That is small enough for a personal exchange in good conditions, but a loud or disruptive group can make it harder to hear. One account described a large, disruptive group that tested the guide’s patience. A good guide can handle that, but the experience may still feel less focused than a private walk.

I would ask your guide questions as you go. The format allows room for questions, and strong guides have been willing to offer suggestions for food, drinks, and sightseeing. If your group wants more ghost stories and less general history, say so early and politely.

What the two hours feel like

The advertised duration is about two hours. That gives you enough time for several bar stops and a walking look at the Historic District without taking up your entire evening.

The pace includes stops for drinks, restrooms, cemetery stories, and talks about haunted sites. You will not be walking continuously for two hours, but you should still wear comfortable shoes. A July outing was described as hot, so warm-weather visitors should take Savannah’s heat seriously. Evening temperatures can remain uncomfortable, especially when the group pauses for stories.

The walk ends at Wright Square, or at another local bar or historic square about a five-minute walk from the starting area. Ask the guide for help if you need directions or transport arranged. Since the tour ends in the center of Savannah’s nightlife area, you can continue your evening on foot after the final story.

The walking distance is manageable for most people, and the activity notes say most participants can take part. Service animals are allowed. You must be at least 21 years old, including if you plan to join without drinking.

Is $30 a fair price?

At $30 per person, the tour sits in a reasonable range for a two-hour guided evening activity in Savannah. The value comes from combining a planned route, a guide, several pub stops, and stories about the city.

You are not paying for drinks, food, transportation, or a guaranteed paranormal event. If you buy several drinks, budget for those separately. The tour makes more financial sense if you would otherwise pay for a bar crawl or a guided history walk and want both in one evening.

The value drops if your guide skips a bar, spends too much time on personal stories, or offers little ghost material. Since the experience varies so much with the guide, the quality of the storytelling matters more than the number of stops.

I would consider it a good deal for a first night in Savannah, especially if you want a social activity that introduces you to bars and city squares. It is a weaker choice for someone seeking a tightly scripted paranormal tour or a quiet cemetery visit.

Who should book this pub crawl?

I would recommend it to adults who enjoy a drink, a walk, and a story. It suits couples, groups of friends, birthday outings, and anyone who wants an easy first-night activity after arriving in Savannah.

It is also useful for people who like practical local advice. Guides such as Pierce and Andre have offered suggestions for restaurants, drinks, and sights to visit the next day. You may leave with a better sense of where to spend the rest of your trip.

You should think twice if you dislike group tours, profanity, bar noise, or long spoken stops. The experience is not designed for children, and everyone must be 21 or older. It is also not ideal if you want every stop to involve a documented haunting.

Bring comfortable shoes, a phone or camera if you enjoy trying for eerie images, and enough money for any drinks you want. Do not count on the price including alcohol. Most importantly, arrive ready for a flexible evening rather than a fixed performance.

Booking, weather, and cancellation details

You receive confirmation when you book, and the tour is offered in English with a mobile ticket. It is booked about 14 days ahead on average, so reserving early is sensible if your Savannah dates are fixed.

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. The tour requires good weather. If poor weather cancels it, you are offered another date or a full refund. The same choice applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached.
