Savannah does spooky well, and this crawl turns the city’s history into an evening of ghost stories and real stops at iconic pubs. I like how the route is built around specific places you can picture fast: Original Pinkie Masters, the cemetery stop, and haunted drinking spots that keep the night moving.

For me, the best part is the mix: you get time at each stop (often 15–20 minutes up to an hour) instead of a frantic sprint-and-shout. One caution: the pacing can feel social and quick at moments, and if you want super-deep paranormal detail, you might find it a bit light.

Spirits & Spirits quick hits

• Four taverns included, with Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90 on the route

• The Chatham Artiller Punch is part of the fun, tied to a legendary Savannah story

• Colonial Park Cemetery is a centerpiece stop for the real spine-tingle

• Sixpence Pub is where the mood shifts hard, temperature-wise

• A lantern-carrying, black-shirt guide helps you find the group fast near Oglethorpe Square

• Good for a short night out: about 2 hours total, rain or shine

Meeting at 17hundred90 Inn: Find the lantern and get moving

Your night starts and ends at The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, 307 E President St, close to Oglethorpe Square. The key practical detail: the square is small, and your guide will be wearing a black US Ghost Adventures t-shirt and carrying a lantern, so you should spot them quickly. Arrive 10–15 minutes early so you’re not standing in the dark doing math with your phone.

Once the group gathers, expect a walk-first mindset. Savannah streets are uneven in spots, and it’s a night crawl, not a bus tour. Comfortable shoes matter more than you think, especially when you’re stopping for stories between pubs.

This is also where you’ll set expectations for the evening. You’re not doing a full-blown academic lecture series. You’re doing short stops, story beats, and drink-friendly timing—so if you like your ghosts with a side of atmosphere, this format fits.

Price and what $30 gets you: stories, stops, and real Savannah vibes

At $30 per person for about 2 hours, the value is mainly in the structure: 8 historic, haunted sites, including 4 pubs, plus a guide who’s there to connect the dots. You’re also not paying extra for the guiding portion—though food and drinks aren’t included, so bring cash or a card for what you order.

The real value question isn’t the price tag. It’s how the night is paced and how many meaningful stops you get. Here, you get multiple drink locations, plus non-pub haunted history stops like the cemetery. That’s a lot more than a “quick photo at a bar” kind of ghost tour.

Just keep one thing in mind: if you’re the type who expects every minute to be story-heavy, you may not love the social flow. One person felt the tour ended early and wanted more stories. That doesn’t mean you’ll have that exact experience, but it’s a useful reminder to go in for fun plus folklore, not a tightly scripted nonstop monologue.

The walking pace: 15–20 minutes to an hour at each stop

You’re looking at roughly 2 hours total. Within that window, stops run from about 15–20 minutes up to an hour, depending on the location and what the guide is building toward. That range is important: it affects how much you’ll actually soak in the place versus just hearing the story and moving on.

You’ll walk about like a typical downtown wandering evening. The tour notes it’s not recommended for anyone who can’t walk more than one mile. If that’s you—if you need frequent breaks, have tight mobility limits, or get tired fast—this may not be a comfortable fit.

Also, tours run rain or shine. So dress for weather, not for postcards. If you’re hoping for a clear night, don’t plan your whole outfit around luck.

Practical tip: go with your “short walk” brain. Don’t save your energy for the bars only. You’ll be standing and moving between stops, sometimes in low light.

Taverns on the route: Original Pinkie Masters, 17hundred90, and more

This crawl is built around four taverns, and two are named up front as reliable anchors: Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90. Starting at 17hundred90 makes sense because it’s both a meeting point and a story stop—easy to find, easy to anchor your night.

The interesting part isn’t just that you’re going to pubs. It’s that the pubs are treated like chapters in the city’s story. The guide brings local context between locations, so you’re not just checking off bars. You’re hearing why a place matters and how it fits Savannah’s personality.

Your fourth tavern can vary by tour, because the lineup is noted as changeable. That’s not a downside for most people. It usually means you’re less likely to feel like you’ve seen the exact same script as everyone else. It can also mean the vibe at your specific stop might differ from someone else’s night.

One more practical note: since food and drinks aren’t included, choose your pace. If you’re ordering a drink at each tavern, you’ll want to hydrate and keep it fun, not sloppy. The tour is set up for a good time, and guides tend to keep things moving without turning it into a regatta of chaos.

Chatham Artiller Punch: a drink with a city-sized legend

A standout included moment is the Chatham Artiller Punch, described as the drink that saved the city. That’s a big claim, and the tour’s value is that it gives you the story behind why people talk about it. Even if you don’t become a punch expert by the end of the night, you’ll leave knowing this isn’t just a random cocktail stop.

In a city like Savannah, drinks often act like history in liquid form. This one is tied to a moment when the city needed help—so the “save the city” angle is more than marketing. It’s the hook that turns a bar order into a historical detail you can remember later.

If you like cocktails, you’ll probably enjoy this as a guided taste. If you don’t drink, you might still appreciate it as a story highlight, but the tour also makes it clear that drinks aren’t otherwise part of the included package—so plan accordingly.

Colonial Park Cemetery: where the chill isn’t just a feeling

The most famous “ghost tour” stop on this crawl is Colonial Park Cemetery. Expect it to be a chill moment—the kind where the air feels colder, the light feels different, and the stories land harder because you’re standing in a real place tied to old Savannah life.

This stop matters because it shifts you from pub-energy to atmosphere-first. The cemetery is also the part of the night where you’re most likely to remember the guide’s storytelling, because there’s less noise around you. Even if you’re not the world’s biggest believer in the paranormal, the setting is built to make you pay attention.

A practical tip: be mindful of footing. Night tours make everything look smoother than it is. Wear shoes you trust, and don’t assume you’ll feel stable if you take a step off the main path.

If you’re sensitive to scary themes, this is also where you’ll want to judge your own comfort. It’s the stop most clearly framed as spine-chilling.

Sixpence Pub: the moment the mood drops colder

Another major highlight is Sixpence Pub, and the tour calls out a dramatic shift—expect the temperature to plummet when you enter. I can’t tell you what you’ll personally feel, but I can tell you what the tour is aiming for: a sharp change from street-and-story to “something is off” energy.

Bars are perfect for this kind of effect because they already have shadows, old wood, and low light. Add a story and a physical sensation, and it turns into a real mood pivot point in the night.

This is also one of the most fun stops if you like the social side of ghost tourism. People tend to loosen up at pubs, even when the stories get intense. That balance is exactly what keeps the night from feeling like a horror movie marathon.

How the ghost stories land: fun group energy plus real context

Part of why this crawl works is the guide style. Two guide names stand out from past experiences: Miranda and Ashley. Miranda gets praise for keeping the tour fun without killing the atmosphere. Ashley is noted for being well-prepared and understanding with group energy when people had been drinking.

So here’s what you can plan for: the stories should feel local and woven into place. The tour emphasizes authentic, local ghost stories and well-researched and credible history, with a guide that connects the legends to what makes Savannah itself feel haunted.

Still, there’s one caution to balance that: one experience described the stories as mediocre and felt rushed, with the tour ending earlier than the stated 2 hours. That suggests story depth and pace can vary, depending on the guide, the group, and the night.

My advice: show up ready to enjoy the night out version of ghost history. If you expect every story to be deeply technical or every moment to be packed with plot, you’ll be happier if you adjust your expectations toward entertainment plus atmosphere.

Rules that matter: ID, no video, and rain-ready clothes

To avoid last-minute surprises, keep these tour rules in mind:

• Bring a form of ID. A copy is accepted.
• No smoking during the tour.
• No video recording. If you’re the type who likes filming in bars, this is the one constraint that can change how you experience the night.
• Tours run rain or shine, so dress for weather.

Also pay attention to comfort rules. This tour is noted as not suitable for people under 21. And even though one section says wheelchair accessible, the separate note says the tour isn’t recommended if you can’t walk more than one mile. If mobility is a concern, treat the one-mile walking limit as your deciding factor.

Who should book this haunted pub crawl?

This experience is best for you if you want a short, night-friendly way to see Savannah’s historic center and hear ghost-lore tied to actual locations. It’s also a great pick if you like social atmosphere—people chatting lightly before and after stories, and a guide keeping the flow from stop to stop.

It’s less ideal if you’re looking for:

• a quiet, sit-and-listen lecture
• a slow museum-style tour
• an all-scary, all-the-time haunted experience

It’s also not a good fit if walking more than a mile is tough. And if anyone in your group is under 21, skip it.

If you’re celebrating something, this fits well too. The “tavern + punch + cemetery chill” structure gives you built-in variety, so you won’t feel stuck in the same mood for the whole evening.

Should you book Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

I think you should book if you want a fun night out that still feels tied to Savannah’s real places: 17hundred90, Original Pinkie Masters, the Chatham Artiller Punch, Colonial Park Cemetery, and Sixpence Pub. The $30 price makes sense because you’re getting multiple stops and a guided story thread across both bars and haunted sites.

Hold off if you’re a “no rushing, nonstop storytelling” person, or if you need long rests between walks. Also consider skipping if you dislike the idea of low-light strolling at night. This is an atmosphere experience, not a comfort-first museum outing.

If you do book, go in with one mindset: enjoy the evening. Let the stories be part of the night, not a test you pass or fail.
