Savannah at night has a way of feeling close. This haunted pub crawl blends a ghost-style walk with a few bar stops, starting at the 1790 Inn and winding down at Chippewa Square.

I like that the meet-up is clear and theatrical, with Raven on-site and easy to spot by purple hair. I also like the pacing: it’s a compact, small-group night that feels doable, even when you’re traveling solo or just want something fun that runs about 2 hours.

One thing to consider: this is not a pure, all-paranormal investigation. It’s part pub crawl, so some bar stops lean more social than spooky, and you should be ready for a mixed vibe.

Key things to know before you go

• 10:30pm start means you get Savannah after dinner, when the streets feel different
• Meet at 1790 Inn and look for Raven on the President Street side under the big awning
• Colonial Park Cemetery adds a darker, quieter kind of stop to the night
• Pub crawl format: tickets are included, but alcohol isn’t, so you control your spend
• Bring a small umbrella: the walk has limited cover if weather turns wet

Price and value: what $33 buys you at night

At $33 per person, this tour sits in the sweet spot for a guided, late-night experience in Savannah. You’re paying for the host-led walk, the story stops, and the tour ticket coverage that kicks off at the 1790 Inn (the first stop notes an admission ticket).

The part that matters for your wallet is what’s not included: alcoholic beverages are not included. That’s actually a good thing for value, because you can keep costs predictable. If you want one drink, you can do that. If you don’t, you’re not locked into a spend you didn’t plan.

Also, it’s offered in English, runs about 2 hours to 2 hours 10 minutes, and is capped at 30 travelers. A smaller group helps when you’re walking at night and trying to hear the guide without shouting over street noise or bar music.

Timing and meeting point: finding the right spot at 307 E President St

You start at 1790 Inn, 307 E President St, Savannah, GA 31401, with the tour launching at 10:30 pm. Your job is simple: show up on the right side and find the host.

The guide is waiting in front of the building on the President’s street side under the big awning. If Raven is running your night, you’ll spot her fast—she’s the one with purple hair. Another guide sometimes mentioned is Spooky Steve, so if you don’t see Raven, don’t panic. The idea stays the same: look for the host at the inn’s awning and get the group moving.

You’ll use a mobile ticket, so plan on having your phone ready. The starting area is also near public transportation, which makes it easier to get there and easier to leave afterward without guessing which parking lot you’ll regret later.

Entering the 1790 Inn first: why the opening stop matters

The 1790 Inn isn’t just the first page of the book. It sets the tone. You begin here because it’s described as one of Savannah’s most haunted buildings, and starting at a real, named location helps you feel the atmosphere right away instead of waiting for the first “real” moment later.

Expect roughly 20 minutes at that first stop. That’s long enough for the guide to frame what you’re going to look for, how the stories connect to Savannah, and what to pay attention to while you’re walking. If you’re the type who likes learning as you go, this opening works well because it gives you a baseline before the night turns into bar hops and street corners.

One practical point: you’ll be outside. Even if you’re excited, dress like you’re about to stand around and listen in the cooler Savannah air at night.

The haunted pub crawl rhythm: walking, bars, and ghost stories

After the 1790 Inn, the tour shifts into its pub crawl groove. You’ll walk to several stops, with a mix of spooky storytelling and bar-focused moments.

A useful detail from past participants is that the walking is usually about 1 mile to 1.5 miles total, broken up with intermittent stops. That’s good news if you want an evening activity that won’t wipe you out. Still, it’s late, and you’ll be moving through dim streets—so comfy shoes are not optional.

At the bar stops, the guide may offer drink recommendations alongside the stories. That doesn’t mean the tour depends on alcohol, but it does mean the mood can include that late-night bar energy. Since drinks are on you, think of this as: the guide helps you pick, and you decide how much to order.

If you’re going for the scariest possible paranormal investigation, keep expectations realistic. This is a fun, guided night with ghosts as the theme, not a full-on scientific investigation. The goal is to make Savannah’s darker legends feel personal and present while you’re walking and stopping together.

Colonial Park Cemetery: the stop that changes the tone

One highlight is a visit to Colonial Park Cemetery. This is where the night can feel different—less neon, less bar chatter, more hush. A cemetery stop also gives the guide room to slow down the pacing and shift from the social vibe of pub stops to something more reflective and eerie.

I like cemetery stops on ghost tours because they force you to look at the stories in a new way. The city’s legends don’t just float in the air; they tie to actual places you can stand in. You’re not just collecting spooky anecdotes. You’re experiencing Savannah’s atmosphere layered onto a specific location.

Keep in mind: the cemetery is part of the overall 2-hour window. So you may not get a long, lingering visit. The value is in the combination—pub crawl energy plus a cemetery moment for contrast.

Chippewa Square at the end: a clean finish point for your night

The tour ends at Chippewa Square, one of Savannah’s most beautiful public squares. That’s a smart finish for two reasons.

First, it’s easy to orient yourself afterward. If you’ve got dinner plans, a late show, or you’re just trying to meet friends, ending at a recognizable square helps.

Second, Chippewa Square is lively and walkable, which can be comforting when you’re stepping out of a group tour at night. You’re not wandering off into nowhere; you’re closing your experience in a central spot.

What to expect from the pub side (and where it can miss the mark)

The pub crawl part is the make-or-break for some people. If you’re hoping every stop will feel equally paranormal, you might find that varies.

The best way to plan is to treat this tour as a night with ghost storytelling plus bar stops, not a guarantee that every venue will deliver the same level of spooky intensity. Some bar stops may feel more like history-by-way-of-a-funny-story or just a fun late-night hangout.

Here’s how to make it work for you:

• If you want spooky plus social, this format fits nicely.
• If you want nonstop haunting energy, look for a tour that leans harder into investigations and less into bar-hopping.

You can also get ahead of this while you’re standing with the group at the start. Ask what the vibe is tonight and how the stops are timed. Hosts generally want you to have a great night, and getting clarity early is better than trying to read the mood after you’re already walking.

Walk comfort, umbrella strategy, and night-sense tips

Weather matters. This experience requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Even when it isn’t canceled, rain can still make the night less pleasant. One practical tip from past experience: there’s not a lot of cover along the walking route. If rain is possible, bring a small umbrella or rain jacket.

Also, remember you’re outside for a chunk of the tour and it’s late. I recommend:

• layers (Savannah nights can feel cooler than you expect)
• shoes with grip for uneven sidewalks
• a phone battery backup plan, since you’ll rely on it for your mobile ticket
• an easy meal beforehand, because a late tour plus bar stops can sneak up on your appetite

Who should book this haunted pub crawl?

This tour is a great fit if you want:

• a late-night activity in Savannah that’s social but guided
• a mix of ghost stories and city atmosphere
• a manageable walking night (around 1–1.5 miles with stops)
• guides who bring the stories to life and include drink recommendations if you want them

It’s also a good choice if you’re traveling with friends who might not all want a long, formal museum-style tour. Ghost tours at night are one of those “everyone gets into it” formats—especially when the host keeps things moving.

You might skip it if:

• you want a more intense, paranormal-investigation-only experience
• you dislike bar stops and prefer your ghost tours to stay strictly in history and investigation mode
• you’re counting on a specific venue detail at every stop. If something feels important to you, ask early with the host and confirm what’s happening on your specific evening.

Should you book? My practical take

If you want a fun, guided, 10:30 pm ghost experience that also lets you enjoy Savannah’s nightlife energy, this is an easy yes. It’s priced reasonably for a guided two-hour night, starts at a famous haunt (1790 Inn), and includes a standout location like Colonial Park Cemetery.

If you’re picky about the bar part, go in with flexible expectations. Treat the drinks as optional and the stories as the main event. With that mindset, you’ll get a memorable Savannah night without overplanning your schedule.

Also, it’s rated highly overall, with a 4.7 average score and a 92% recommendation rate, so you’re unlikely to feel like you picked the wrong kind of spooky.
