Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl

Ghost stories taste better with a local drink. Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl pairs four historic taverns with eight haunted sites, giving you a lively way to see the old city after dark. I like the mix of credible history and local ghost tales, and I like that the route includes memorable stops such as Original Pinkie Masters, 17hundred90, Colonial Park Cemetery, and Sixpence Pub. The main catch is that drinks and food cost extra, and one recent outing ended well before the promised two hours.

You meet your guide at 17hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, near Oglethorpe Square, then walk from place to place. Guides Miranda and Ashley have earned special praise for keeping the mood fun and explaining the stories clearly. Still, the pace and pub lineup can change, so the quality of the evening depends partly on your guide and the night you attend.

Key points to know before booking

• Four taverns in one walking route: Stops include Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90, with the lineup subject to change.
• Chatham Artillery Punch: You can try the famous drink associated with saving Savannah, but beverages are not included in the $30 price.
• Eight historic and haunted sites: The route mixes pubs with outdoor locations such as Colonial Park Cemetery.
• Two hours on foot: You should be comfortable walking more than one mile, often on historic city streets.
• A guide-led ghost walk: Miranda and Ashley have both been praised for their energy, patience, and storytelling.
• A flexible booking policy: You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, or reserve now and pay later.

A pub crawl with Savannah’s ghosts in the room

Savannah Terrors works best if you want more than a standard bar tour. You get drinks, but you also get a guided look at old squares, burial grounds, historic buildings, and stories tied to Savannah’s darker side.

The route covers eight historic and haunted sites, including four pubs. That balance matters. A pure ghost walk can feel repetitive after several similar tales, while a plain pub crawl may tell you little about the city. Here, the stops break up the walking and give you time to sit down, order a drink, and take in the mood of each place.

I like the basic idea because Savannah is a city built for walking. Its old streets and squares offer plenty to look at between stops. The stories give those surroundings a little extra tension, especially after sunset.

Do not expect a theatrical haunted house. This is a live walking tour led in English, with local stories and historical background. The supernatural side is part entertainment, part folklore, and part atmosphere. If you need hard proof of ghosts, you may find the experience less convincing. If you enjoy old stories told over a drink, the format makes good sense.

Meeting at 17hundred90 near Oglethorpe Square

The tour begins and ends at The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, at 307 East President Street. The meeting spot is near Oglethorpe Square, a small square that should be easy to locate.

Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. Your guide wears a black US Ghost Adventures shirt and carries a lantern, which helps you spot the group. That small detail is useful in the evening, especially if several people are gathering around the square.

Starting at 17hundred90 is fitting. It is both the meeting point and one of the historic tavern stops, so you begin in a place tied directly to the tour’s theme. The return to the same location also keeps the evening simple. You do not need to arrange a ride between stops, and the tour does not include transportation.

The route is on foot, so wear shoes you can walk in comfortably. The tour is not recommended for anyone unable to walk more than one mile. The activity is described as wheelchair accessible, but it is also marked as unsuitable for people with mobility impairments. Those details do not perfectly match, so contact the provider before booking if mobility is a concern.

What happens at the four pub stops

The exact lineup can change, but the advertised route includes four taverns. That flexibility can keep the experience fresh, though it also means you cannot treat every listed bar as guaranteed on your particular night.

Original Pinkie Masters

Original Pinkie Masters is one of the named stops and helps give the crawl a distinctly local feel. The value here is not just having a drink in an old bar. You are visiting a place included in Savannah’s long-running social life, then hearing stories connected to the surrounding streets.

Plan to spend somewhere between 15 minutes and an hour at each location, depending on the route and the guide. That range is wide. A short stop keeps the walk moving, while a longer stop gives you more time to order and enjoy the room.

17hundred90 Inn and Restaurant

This historic inn and restaurant serves as the start and finish point. It is also associated with one of Savannah’s better-known haunted settings, making it a natural base for ghost stories.

Because the tour returns here, you can get your bearings before the walk begins. It also gives you a clear end point if you want to continue your night nearby. Food and drinks are not included, so budget for anything you order.

Sixpence Pub

Sixpence Pub is presented as a particularly haunted stop, with the promise of a sudden temperature drop as you enter. That is the kind of detail that makes the crawl feel physical rather than purely verbal. You are not only listening to a story. You are paying attention to the room, the air, and your own reaction.

Keep your expectations sensible. A cold feeling is not proof of paranormal activity, but it can be an effective part of the atmosphere. The stop should appeal to anyone who likes ghost lore with a little theatrical suspense.

A rotating fourth tavern

The fourth pub may vary. This is worth remembering when you book because the tour is not a fixed checklist with every venue guaranteed each night.

That change can be a plus if you plan to take the crawl more than once. It can also disappoint you if one particular pub is the main reason you want to go. Treat the named bars as likely highlights, not promises for a fixed route.

Chatham Artillery Punch and the cost of drinks

One of the tour’s signature details is Chatham Artillery Punch, a drink linked to the Chatham Artillery and described as the drink that saved Savannah. The story gives you a useful piece of local culture, and the punch adds a clear sense of place to the evening.

The $30 ticket covers the guided tour, not your refreshments. Food and drinks are extra, so the real cost depends on how much you order at four taverns. You do not need to buy a drink at every stop, but the tour is built around pubs, and the experience will feel incomplete if you refuse every beverage.

I see the price as reasonable for a two-hour guided walk that visits eight sites, provided you value the storytelling and historic setting. It is less attractive if you are mainly paying for bar access, since you still pay separately for each drink.

The tour is for people aged 21 and older. Bring a government ID, or a copy, as requested in the tour information. Since alcohol is central to the theme, this age rule is not a minor detail.

Colonial Park Cemetery adds the strongest atmosphere

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the most effective outdoor stops on the route. Even without a ghost story, a historic cemetery changes the mood of a night walk. With a guide explaining local events and supernatural tales, the setting becomes one of the evening’s main moments.

This stop also shows why the tour includes more than pubs. You get a pause from the bar rooms and a chance to connect the stories to Savannah’s older public spaces. The chill comes from the place, the hour, and the stories working together.

Stay close to the guide while walking through outdoor sites. You will get more from the stop if you can hear the details and understand why the location matters. Comfortable shoes are essential, and rain will not automatically cancel the tour.

Stories, pacing, and the guide make the difference

The guide is the most important part of this experience. Miranda received especially warm praise for keeping the tour fun, while Ashley was singled out for being helpful and well-informed. That points to the right expectation: this is meant to be social, light, and a little spooky, not grim or academic.

A good guide can make a familiar story feel fresh by adding context and timing the reveal well. The guide also controls how long you spend in each pub and how much information you get between stops. The group atmosphere matters too. One evening may feel lively, while another may be quieter.

There is a real limitation here. One recent outing felt rushed, with pub stops attended only by that small group and the tour ending about 40 minutes early. The same account found the guide pleasant but wanted more stories and a fuller two-hour program.

That concern is important because the advertised duration is two hours. If the route moves quickly, you may feel you paid for a full evening and received a short walk with a few bar visits. I would confirm the expected route and timing at the start, especially if the tour has a small group.

The pub lineup can change as well. That gives the company room to adjust the route, but it means the exact balance of history, walking, and drinking is not fully predictable.

Practical details for a rain-or-shine night

The tour runs rain or shine. Check the forecast, then dress for the conditions rather than assuming the pubs will keep you dry all evening. A light rain jacket, comfortable shoes, and weather-appropriate clothing will make the walk easier.

Smoking and video recording are not allowed. Bring your ID, with a copy accepted, and arrive early enough to find the lantern-carrying guide without rushing.

The tour is offered in English. The guide leads the group on foot, and transportation is not included. Plan your evening around the return to 17hundred90 rather than expecting a shuttle or a ride between stops.

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The reserve-now, pay-later option also helps if your Savannah schedule is still shifting.

Who will enjoy this haunted pub crawl

I would choose this tour if you enjoy local legends but still want a relaxed night out. It suits couples, groups of friends, and solo visitors who like meeting people in a social setting. The mix of pubs, cemeteries, squares, and old buildings gives you more variety than a standard bar visit.

It is also a good fit if you want a first look at Savannah’s historic center after dark. You will not need to plan your own route, choose the bars, or research the stories in advance.

I would be more cautious if you want a carefully timed, highly theatrical ghost production. The stories may feel modest if you have taken many ghost tours, and one reported outing was shorter than promised. You should also skip it if you are under 21, cannot comfortably walk more than a mile, or do not want to pay separately for drinks.

The activity is labeled wheelchair accessible, but the separate warning about mobility impairments deserves attention. Ask the provider about the current route and surfaces before booking if you use a wheelchair or have limited mobility.

Should you book Savannah Terrors?

Book it if you want a friendly two-hour introduction to Savannah’s haunted side, with four taverns and several historic sites folded into one walk. The $30 price is fair when the tour runs its full length and the guide brings the stories to life.

I would book with realistic expectations. The pubs are part of the setting, not an included open bar. The route can change, the supernatural claims are entertainment rather than evidence, and the pacing may depend heavily on the guide and group.

For the best chance of enjoying it, arrive early, wear good shoes, bring ID, budget for your own drinks, and treat the evening as a social history walk with ghost stories. If Miranda or Ashley leads your group, expect an especially warm and lively tone. If you want a full two hours, ask at the start how the route will be paced.
