Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl

Savannah’s haunted pub crawl mixes eight historic sites with four drinking stops, so you get more than bar hopping. The route links taverns such as Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90 with Colonial Park Cemetery and haunted Sixpence Pub, while your guide fills the walk with local ghost stories and bits of Savannah history.

I like the two-hour format and the easy $30 price. You get a social evening, a guided walk, and several historic settings without paying for a long theatrical show. The catch is that food and drinks cost extra, the route covers more than a mile on foot, and one account found the tour rushed and about 40 minutes shorter than expected.

Key points

• Four taverns on one walking route: The stops may include Original Pinkie Masters, 17hundred90, and Sixpence Pub.
• Eight historic and haunted sites: The tour adds cemeteries, squares, and other locations between drinks.
• Chatham Artiller Punch: You hear the story of the drink said to have helped save Savannah, but drinks are not included in the price.
• Colonial Park Cemetery after dark: This is one of the route’s strongest atmospheric stops.
• Guides with lively personalities: Miranda and Ashley have both earned especially warm feedback for keeping the evening fun.
• Rain or shine: Wear comfortable shoes and prepare for a walk of more than one mile.

Four taverns, eight eerie stops, and one Savannah night

This tour works because it gives you two ways to see Savannah at once. You walk through the old center, where squares, cemeteries, and historic buildings provide the setting, then step inside taverns that give the evening a social pulse.

The route includes four pubs, but the full count is eight historic and haunted sites. That matters. You are not simply moving from one bar to the next. The guide uses the spaces between pubs for stories, local history, and stops connected to Savannah’s darker past.

The exact lineup can change, so you should not treat every advertised tavern as guaranteed on every departure. Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90 are named stops, and Sixpence Pub is a featured haunted location, but the company may adjust the route from one night to another.

That flexibility can keep repeat visits fresh. It also means you should book this for the overall experience, not for a single pub alone.

Meeting near Oglethorpe Square

The tour begins and ends at The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, at 307 East President Street, near Oglethorpe Square. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. The square is small, and your guide should be easy to spot in a black US Ghost Adventures shirt while carrying a lantern.

That meeting setup is simple, but arriving early helps you avoid a frantic start. You can find the square, check in, and get ready for a walking tour before the group sets off.

The same location serves as the finish, which is useful after two hours on foot. You will not need to arrange a ride between stops. Transportation is not included, but the tour itself is designed as a walking route through the historic center.

The guide speaks English. Guides Miranda and Ashley have been singled out for their energy, humor, and ability to keep the group engaged. That personal style matters on a ghost walk. The stories work best when the guide can hold a group’s attention between crowded streets, pub noise, and the occasional distraction of a lively evening in Savannah.

Original Pinkie Masters and Savannah’s drinking culture

Original Pinkie Masters gives the pub portion a strong local character. It is one of the named taverns on the route, and its inclusion helps ground the evening in Savannah’s long connection with neighborhood bars and political storytelling.

Your stop here may last anywhere from 15 or 20 minutes to about an hour, depending on the night’s schedule and the changing lineup. That range is worth noting. A short stop gives you a taste of the setting before the group moves on. A longer stop lets you order a drink and settle into the room.

Food and drinks are not included in the $30 booking price. Think of the admission as payment for the guide, the walking route, and the stories. You should budget separately for anything you order at the pubs.

The tour is most useful for people who want an introduction to Savannah’s old taverns without planning every stop themselves. You get a ready-made route and company, but you still choose and pay for your own drinks.

Chatham Artiller Punch and a drink with a story

The Chatham Artiller Punch is one of the most unusual details in the evening. The guide explains the drink said to have saved the city, linking a beverage to Savannah’s military and civic past.

The important practical point is that the drink is highlighted, but beverages are not included. Do not read the $30 price as a prepaid tasting package. Your guide provides the context, and you pay for any drink you decide to order.

This also gives you room to pace yourself. A pub crawl can easily turn into a race, especially when several stops are packed into two hours. You do not need to order at every location to get value from the tour. If you do drink, keep the walking distance and the rainy weather policy in mind.

One piece of feedback praised a guide for being understanding when the group became tipsy. That suggests a relaxed social tone, but you should still treat the event as a walking tour first and a drinking night second.

17hundred90 and the old Savannah setting

The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant is both the meeting point and one of the named tavern stops. Its location beside Oglethorpe Square gives the evening a useful sense of place before you even begin walking.

A stop here can feel more connected to Savannah’s old streets than a modern bar would. The point is not only the drink in your hand. It is the way the pub, nearby square, and stories fit together to create a picture of the city’s past.

Because the guide may spend between 15 minutes and an hour at each location, timing can vary. A group moving quickly may get only a brief look at the room. A slower group may have more time to order and listen. If you want long, detailed sessions inside every pub, this format may feel compressed.

I would choose this tour for breadth rather than depth. You see several settings and hear a range of tales in one evening. A single historic pub tour would offer more time in one place, but it would not give you the same sweep through Savannah’s haunted center.

Colonial Park Cemetery after dark

Colonial Park Cemetery is likely to be the most atmospheric outdoor stop. The tour promises a chance to feel the chill associated with the cemetery, and the guide uses the site for ghost stories and historical context.

Cemeteries work well on this kind of walk because they give the stories a clear physical setting. You are not hearing a tale in an anonymous room. You are standing beside an old burial ground in the historic district, with the city’s past close at hand.

The mood depends on the group, the weather, and the guide. A lively crowd may keep the stop playful rather than frightening. A quiet night can make the same location feel much more unsettling.

You should also remember that this is an outdoor walking stop. Comfortable shoes matter more here than costume or special equipment. The company says the tour runs in rain or shine, so bring clothing that fits the forecast.

Sixpence Pub and the cold-room effect

Sixpence Pub is presented as the tour’s chilling indoor stop. The promised temperature drop as you enter gives the guide a simple physical detail to build around, and it adds variety after the outdoor cemetery visit.

That contrast is useful. Savannah’s ghost stories can blur together when every stop is another dark building or old street. Moving from a cemetery to a pub with its own haunted reputation changes the mood and keeps the route from feeling like one long sidewalk lecture.

You should keep your expectations grounded. This is a story-led pub crawl, not a haunted house with actors, effects, or guaranteed paranormal activity. The experience depends on the guide’s delivery and your willingness to enjoy the uncertainty.

A rented paranormal detection device was used by one participant for an added $7, but it did not produce a convincing result. I would not make that device part of your budget or your reason for booking. The strongest elements here are the setting, the stories, and the social evening.

How the guides shape the night

A ghost tour lives or dies by its guide. Miranda has been praised for keeping the tour fun, and Ashley has been praised for being both informed and understanding. Those comments point to the quality that matters most here: a guide who can balance real history, spooky tales, and a group that may be in a party mood.

The supplied information promises local ghost stories and well-researched history. That combination is important. Savannah’s haunted reputation can invite exaggeration, but the better experience gives you enough historical context to understand why a story became attached to a place.

The guide also sets the pace. One account found the stories mediocre, the pub stops rushed, and the event shorter than the advertised two hours. That is a serious consideration. A two-hour booking should leave you feeling that the time was well used.

Tour length can vary in practice. Some groups may receive a full two hours, while a fast-moving evening may finish early. If you want a packed schedule and several locations, that may not bother you. If you want long stories at each stop, ask yourself how much time you need at every pub before booking.

What $30 really buys you

At $30 per person, the price is fair if you value the guide and the route. You are paying for a planned walk, a local guide, access to a social group, and eight historic or haunted locations, including four pubs.

You are not paying for dinner, drinks, transportation, or a paranormal guarantee. Those extras can raise the cost, especially if you order at several stops. I would set a separate drink budget and decide in advance how many pubs you actually want to drink in.

The value is strongest for a first evening in Savannah. You can learn the shape of the historic center, note which pubs appeal to you, and return later on your own. It also works well for friends who want a shared activity with some history but do not want a formal museum tour.

The value is weaker if you have already taken several ghost walks and expect new, highly detailed material. One direct account found the stories only average and the event too short. That does not make the tour a poor choice for everyone, but it does suggest keeping expectations modest.

Walking, weather, and age limits

The route covers more than one mile, and the tour is not recommended for anyone unable to walk that distance. The information also says it is not suitable for people with mobility impairments, even though the activity is marked wheelchair accessible. Those details do not fully match, so I would contact the operator before booking if you use a wheelchair or need a smooth, low-strain route.

You need comfortable shoes. Savannah’s historic center is best handled on foot, and pub stops do not remove the walking between them.

The tour runs rain or shine. Bring weather-appropriate clothing, and do not assume the pubs will provide enough shelter to make bad weather irrelevant. A light rain jacket can make a big difference during the outdoor portions.

The minimum age is 21. Bring an ID card, and a copy is accepted. Smoking and video recording are not allowed.

Who will enjoy this haunted pub crawl

I would recommend it to adults who want a social night with a little history and a little suspense. It suits first-time visitors who want to see several old pubs without planning a route, and it works well for friends celebrating a night out.

It is also a good fit if you like stories more than special effects. The experience relies on local tales, historic sites, and guide personality. You will not get a theatrical haunted attraction or a guaranteed supernatural encounter.

You may want another option if you dislike group walks, cannot comfortably cover more than a mile, or want a quiet, detailed history lecture. The changing pub lineup and variable stop lengths also make it less suitable if you need a fixed schedule.

Should you book the Savannah Terrors crawl?

Book it if you want an affordable introduction to Savannah after dark, with four taverns, Colonial Park Cemetery, Sixpence Pub, and a guide-led route through the old center. Miranda and Ashley suggest the company can deliver the warm, playful tone that makes a pub crawl work.

Skip it if you expect every stop to receive equal attention or if a full two hours is essential to your plans. The best approach is to treat the tour as a social historical walk with ghost stories, not as a serious paranormal investigation. At $30, it offers solid value when you want variety, atmosphere, and a fun group night, provided you budget extra for drinks and arrive ready to walk.
