Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl Walking Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by Ghost City Tours · Bookable on Viator
Savannah at night has a way of making old streets feel alive. This Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl mixes a guided city stroll with well-paced stops at famous bars and historic sites, plus a dedicated Colonial Park Cemetery visit. I like the focus on storytelling tied to landmarks you’ll actually walk past, and I also like that the tour is run as an adults-only night out with a professional guide.
The main thing to watch is group size and pacing. With a maximum of 30 people, you may sometimes feel like you’re waiting your turn at stops, and not every outing will stick perfectly to the same bar lineup and timing.

Key things to know before you book

- Stops built around Savannah landmarks: Churchill’s Pub, Factor’s Walk, and historic hotels, not random storefronts
- Cemetery time included: Colonial Park Cemetery is on the schedule, with admission not included
- Adults-only 21+ night: bars are part of the experience, but drinks are extra
- Walking tour, not a bus ride: plan for about 2 hours on foot in the evening
- Group size can affect the vibe: larger groups can mean louder venues and harder listening
Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl: the value for $34.99

At $34.99 per person, this tour sits in the sweet spot between a basic ghost walk and a full, ticket-heavy cemetery outing. You’re paying primarily for the guide, the structure, and the route that strings together several iconic spots in one efficient evening. Alcohol is not included, so the cost can climb if you plan to order cocktails at every stop—but the tour itself is straightforward and not dependent on you buying drinks.
You also get the best part of Savannah night life: you’re not stuck at one bar all evening. Instead, you move along the Historic District with stories that connect architecture, streets, and landmarks to the darker legends locals love to share. That matters because Savannah is compact—good tours help you cover more ground without feeling rushed.

Where you start at Churchill’s and how the tour flows
Meet at Churchill’s Pub (13 W Bay St). Your check-in point is near the Kings Guard Statue, right by the Churchill’s entrance. From there, you’ll kick off quickly and settle into the rhythm of a walking tour with short stops where the guide talks and you can order a drink if you want one.
The tour runs about 2 hours, and the stops are short enough that you’re usually still moving at a lively pace. That’s one of the big reasons people recommend it: even if you’re new to Savannah, you feel like you’re seeing real places rather than just circling the same block.
Stop 1: Churchill’s Pub (13 W Bay St) sets the tone

Your first stop is Churchill’s Pub, the night’s launch pad at 13 W Bay St. The vibe here is classic Savannah pub energy—warm lights, old building charm, and a “stories begin now” feeling that gets the group in the mood fast.
This opening stop also does something practical. It gives the guide a chance to get everyone oriented, explain the flow, and start the spooky narrative before you hit the quieter stretches. If you’re hoping for a tour that feels like an actual evening plan (not just a series of random ghost facts), this first stop helps it click.
Stop 2: Factor’s Walk’s “between the city and the river” mood

Next up: Factor’s Walk. It’s one of those Savannah spots where you can feel the history in the space itself—brick, passageways, and a setting that naturally supports the tour’s tone. The stories connect the area to merchants and sailors and the idea that not everyone who went into these passages came out the same way.
This is also a good checkpoint for how you like the style of the guide. If you enjoy spooky storytelling blended with real geography, Factor’s Walk usually lands well. If you want heavy “paranormal proof” or long cemetery-style narration, this stop may feel more like atmosphere-driven legend than a full ghost investigation.
Stop 3: 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant and the hotel haunting angle

After that, you’ll stop at 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant. This is where the tour leans into one of Savannah’s favorite horror lanes: old hotels and lingering spirits tied to emotion and time.
It’s a smart choice for a pub crawl route. Hotels are built to impress, and they’re easy landmarks for photos and for the guide to reference architectural details while keeping the group moving. The “sad, restless presence” theme also keeps the mood from turning into pure comedy. In a good guide performance, this stop becomes the evening’s emotional midpoint.
Stop 4: The Marshall House and the Civil War hospital story

Next is The Marshall House (Historic Inns of Savannah). By day it’s a historic hotel stop; by night, the tour frames it through the lens of its past use as a Civil War hospital. Expect the guide to talk about suffering, medical horrors, and the idea that trauma can cling to places long after the people are gone.
This stop is particularly useful if you want your ghosts to connect to Savannah’s real timeline. It’s not only about scary folklore—it’s about how Savannah’s built environment reflects its past. If your ideal haunted tour mixes history and “what-if” storytelling, this is one of the strongest points on the walk.
Stop 5: Colonial Park Cemetery stop (30 minutes, admission not included)

Then comes the biggest shift in tone: Colonial Park Cemetery. The tour gives you about 30 minutes here, which is enough time to hear a focused story, take in the atmosphere, and still feel like you’re not stuck too long.
Two practical notes:
- Admission is not included. So if you’re expecting everything to be fully covered, you’ll want to plan for the cemetery ticket.
- Some departures can feel like they differ from what you expected. This tour’s schedule lists the cemetery stop, so if cemetery time is a dealbreaker for you, confirm it when you check in.
Colonial Park Cemetery is popular for a reason: the legends feel built into the grounds—tombs, age, and the sense that time slows down around the stones. Even if you’re not a “paranormal believer,” this stop works because it’s a powerful setting for guided storytelling.
Stop 6: McDonough’s Restaurant & Lounge (or sometimes another finish point)

The tour lists the ending point at McDonough’s Restaurant & Lounge (21 E Mc Donough St). This last stop is where the evening wraps up with final stories and one more chance to grab a drink before heading back into the night.
One thing to know: the tour ending point can be confusing on occasion. There’s at least one account where the night ended at 17Hundred90 rather than McDonough’s, even though the ticket information shows McDonough’s as the finish. That doesn’t mean the tour is wrong—but it does mean you should be ready for a slight shift and pay attention to what the guide says at the end.
The guide makes or breaks it (and the names people loved)
This tour’s success rides heavily on the guide. In the best versions, the guide keeps the group safe, keeps the story flow tight, and blends humor with actual Savannah context. People also praised guides like Jalen, Sam, Amanda, Milo, and Jennifer for being interactive and funny without turning the stories into stand-up comedy.
If you want a more social vibe, look for a guide style that pulls the group in—quick questions, lively pacing, and clear direction. On nights with bigger groups, this kind of guide skill matters even more because you’re competing with bar noise, laughter, and people taking photos at the wrong time.
Group size: what 30 people can do to your listening comfort
The maximum is 30 travelers, and you’ll want to think about what that means in practice. Pub crawls can get loud fast. If your top priority is hearing every word of the spooky narrative, a larger group can work against you because the guide has to compete with conversations and people ordering drinks at the same time.
There’s a balancing act here:
- Larger groups create a fun party energy.
- Smaller groups generally make it easier to hear the story and keep the pace tight.
If you’re the type who likes to listen closely, consider booking early in the evening or choosing the trip day you think will be less crowded. Comfortable shoes help too, because you’ll be on foot and moving even when you’re waiting at stops.
Drinks are extra: how to keep the night from getting overpriced
Alcohol is not included, and that’s the line you should read and then plan around. Drinks are a personal choice, but the tour structure pushes you through multiple bar environments. If you order something every stop, your total cost can jump quickly.
A practical way to manage it:
- Plan for at least one drink you truly want.
- If you’re doing multiple stops, consider sharing, ordering water between drinks, or keeping your drink simple.
- Bring a card or enough cash for payment speed when the group is ready to order.
This is also where your expectations matter. A pub crawl is partly about nightlife. If you want maximum ghost storytelling with minimal time in bars, you may feel that time gets eaten up by ordering and socializing.
What the walking feels like and what to wear
The tour is a walking tour, and while it’s short legs between stops, you’re still on pavement for about two hours. Review feedback specifically points out that the walking is manageable, but you should still wear comfortable shoes and dress for an evening stroll.
Also keep an eye on weather. The experience requires good weather, and if conditions are rough, the tour can be canceled and rescheduled or refunded.
Who this haunted pub crawl is best for
This tour fits best if you want:
- A guided way to see Savannah’s core locations after dark
- Spooky stories tied to real landmarks and old buildings
- A lively adults-only night where history and humor share the mic
It’s a great first Savannah evening activity because it orients you. Even if you don’t drink, you’ll still learn the layout of the Historic District and which streets and buildings draw the most ghost lore.
Who should skip (or switch to a different style of haunting)
If your main goal is cemetery-focused haunting with a longer, quieter experience, this tour may feel too “pub crawl” and not enough “sit-and-listen.” Some people also felt the evening leaned more comedic than mystical, depending on the guide and the group vibe.
If you’re booking expecting guaranteed access to every named bar and the full schedule exactly as printed, you should temper that. The tour has multiple stops, and larger groups can affect how much time gets spent at each location. You’ll still cover key landmarks, but pacing can shift.
Should you book the Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl?
I’d book it if you want a fun, adult night that mixes Savannah landmarks with spooky storytelling and you’re okay paying extra for drinks. The value for $34.99 comes from the guide-led route and the fact that you’re getting several iconic stops—including Colonial Park Cemetery time—in one evening.
I would hesitate if you want a quiet, deeply paranormal cemetery experience above all else, or if you know you get frustrated in loud groups. In that case, you might prefer a more focused ghost tour format.
