Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah’s Historic District

Savannah’s Creepy Crawl pairs ghost stories with a practical pub crawl through the Historic District. You start at Six Pence Pub, walk through moonlit squares and old streets, pause outside Colonial Park Cemetery, and stop at up to four local bars. I like the mix of spooky lore and useful drink recommendations. I also like that you can buy a drink or skip alcohol entirely.

The main catch is focus. This is not a nonstop parade of apparitions. Some guides lean heavily into Savannah history, local bars, and jokes, with only a few truly eerie stories. Guide quality also matters a great deal, so ask for a strong storyteller when you arrive.

Key points at a glance

• Colonial Park Cemetery after dark: Hear the story of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, while standing outside one of Savannah’s oldest burial grounds.
• Up to four local pubs: You get time at each stop to buy drinks, use the restroom, and see a different side of Savannah nightlife.
• A history-and-ghosts balance: The walk includes haunted sites, city squares, old homes, murders, reported spirit activity, and plenty of ordinary Savannah history.
• Guides shape the evening: Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have led especially entertaining versions, with Pierce also praised for food, drink, and sightseeing suggestions.
• Good value at $30: The fee covers the two-hour guided walk, but every drink and any food comes separately.
• Plan for an easygoing night out: The route ends near Wright Square or another bar or square about five minutes from the starting area.

Starting at Six Pence Pub on Bull Street

Meet at Six Pence Pub, 245 Bull Street, in Savannah’s Historic District. The setting fits the theme: you begin in a working pub, not at a remote meeting point, so you can get a drink before the walk if you wish.

The tour lasts about two hours. That gives your guide enough time to connect several stories and bar stops without turning the evening into a rushed march. You will walk through Savannah’s squares and nightlife streets, listening to stories at outdoor stops before moving on to another pub.

The group can reach up to 20 people. That is small enough for a guide to address the group, though a large or lively crowd can make it harder to hear every word. A disruptive group has caused trouble for some departures, particularly when the guide is trying to tell a long story on a sidewalk or in a square.

Wear comfortable shoes. The walk is not described as strenuous, but you will be on your feet for most of the two hours. Savannah’s summer heat can also linger after sunset, so July visitors should dress lightly and bring water if needed.

Four pubs, each with a different purpose

The pub portion is the most dependable part of the experience. Your guide introduces you to up to four local bars, using the stops as both refreshment breaks and story settings.

You pay for your own drinks. That is useful if you do not drink alcohol, want only one beverage, or prefer to save money. It also means the $30 tour price does not include a built-in tab. You have time at each pub to order something and use the restroom, but the tour is not designed for sitting down to a full meal.

Some guides offer drink suggestions and explain what makes each bar worth a stop. That can be handy on a first night in Savannah, when you may want a few local options without spending hours choosing among them. The bars are described as quirky and historic, so expect the pub stops to be part of the sightseeing rather than identical drinking breaks.

The pace may vary. A guide who keeps stories tight can make four stops feel like a good sampling of local nightlife. A guide who talks for too long at every stop may leave the walk feeling slow, especially if you signed up mainly for ghost tales.

The listing once included souvenir koozies, but the current information clearly says none are provided. Do not count on receiving one.

Colonial Park Cemetery and the Button Gwinnett story

One of the most memorable locations is Colonial Park Cemetery, the oldest burial ground in Savannah. The group pauses outside the gate rather than taking a cemetery tour inside.

That distinction matters. If you want a formal cemetery walk with time among the graves, this experience may disappoint. The value here is the nighttime setting and the story tied to the cemetery, not extended access to the burial ground.

Your guide discusses Button Gwinnett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and one of the cemetery’s famous residents. The story adds a layer of early American history to the ghost theme. You also hear other tales connected with Savannah, including stories of murders, reported poltergeist activity, and local spirits.

Bring a camera if you like trying to capture orbs or strange lights. The tour does not promise proof of the supernatural, and you should treat that part as a bit of playful atmosphere rather than a scientific exercise. Still, a dark cemetery gate, old brick, and Savannah’s shadowy squares make good night photography.

The route may pass the cemetery more than once, according to some accounts of the walk. That can feel repetitive if the guide uses the same area for several stories, so the quality of the narration matters more than the number of locations.

Savannah history between the ghost stories

This is best understood as a haunted history walk with drinks, not a pure paranormal investigation. Guides cover the age of buildings, local figures, old neighborhoods, city squares, and the past of the bars themselves.

I like that balance when a guide handles it well. Savannah’s ghost stories make more sense when you know something about the people and places involved. A story about a cemetery, old home, or pub has more weight when you understand its place in the city.

Still, the balance is not always even. Some departures have included only two or three strong paranormal tales, with the rest devoted to general history and bar information. If your main goal is a steady stream of frightening stories, you may find the evening too mild.

The guide’s personality also shapes the mood. Pierce has been associated with detailed Savannah history, local recommendations, and strong drink advice. Andre has been praised for an animated style and for keeping his patience with large groups. Kelly has been described as fun and interactive. Those names give you a sense of the best possible version of the tour, but the guide assigned on your date may differ.

Some accounts also describe guides using a lot of profanity or appearing impaired. That is a serious concern for a walking tour, especially if you are traveling with family or expect a polished presentation. The minimum age is 21, and the activity is aimed at adults, but adult content and drinking are not the same as poor conduct. If the guide seems unable to lead safely or clearly, speak up early.

What the two-hour route feels like

The tour begins with introductions and a first look at the pub scene near Bull Street. From there, the group moves through the Historic District, stopping at bars and outdoor sites.

You may spend part of the walk in Savannah’s lush squares, where old trees and low light create the right mood for a ghost story. The walking itself is part of the appeal. You are not sealed inside a bar or bus. You move through the city at night and see how the streets change after dark.

At each pause, expect a mix of storytelling and orientation. The guide may explain what happened at a site, connect it to a local legend, or point out a nearby pub. Some stops can feel like a short history lesson rather than a scare scene.

The bars give you a chance to reset. You can buy a drink, use the restroom, ask about another place to visit, and then continue. If you order at every stop, your total cost will rise quickly, and drinking several beverages while walking may make the route less comfortable. I would choose one or two stops for drinks and treat the others as a chance to look around.

The finish is near Wright Square or at another local bar or historic square about five minutes from the starting area. You should ask the guide for directions if you need to return to your hotel or arrange transport. The end point is not necessarily the same as the start, so do not leave a car or plan a tight pickup without checking the final location.

Is $30 a fair price?

At $30 per person, the tour is reasonably priced for two hours of guided walking and access to a planned set of pub stops. You are paying for the route, the storytelling, and the guide’s local knowledge. The actual drinks are extra, which keeps the base price manageable for people who do not want a full night of bar spending.

The value depends on your expectations. If you enjoy wandering through old streets, hearing local stories, and trying one or two bars, $30 is fair. You also get suggestions for places to eat and visit later, which can add value during a short Savannah stay.

The price feels less convincing if you expect entry to a cemetery, included beverages, a professional theatrical performance, or a tightly scripted paranormal tour. The cemetery stop is outside the gate, and several parts of the walk may focus on general city history.

A good way to judge the cost is to compare it with a standard ghost walk and a self-guided bar crawl. This tour combines both, but it does neither in an extreme way. You get more structure than wandering alone and more nightlife than a traditional history walk.

Who will enjoy this Savannah night walk?

I would choose this experience for:

• Couples who want an easy evening activity with drinks and stories
• Friends who enjoy old buildings, local pubs, and a little supernatural flavor
• First-time visitors who want a broad introduction to the Historic District at night
• Adults who like history but do not need every story to be frightening
• Anyone who wants a guide to suggest bars, food, and places to see the next day

I would think twice if you want:

• A serious paranormal investigation
• A tour packed with frightening stories from start to finish
• A quiet, family-style history walk
• Included drinks or food
• A guaranteed cemetery entrance
• A fully predictable performance with the same guide and script each time

The tour is for ages 21 and older. Service animals are allowed, and most people can take part, but you should be comfortable walking and standing for about two hours.

Small details that can make the night better

Book ahead if your dates are fixed. This experience is booked about 14 days in advance on average, and the group limit is 20 people.

Use the mobile ticket and arrive at the Bull Street meeting point with enough time to find Six Pence Pub. The tour is offered in English.

Bring comfortable shoes and a phone or camera. A light layer can help after sunset, but summer departures can be hot. Keep your own spending in mind, since food and drinks are not included.

The cancellation policy is simple: cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations inside 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. Bad weather or failure to reach the minimum number of participants can also cancel the tour, in which case you are offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

My take: book it for the blend, not the scares

I would book the Creepy Crawl if I wanted a relaxed Savannah night with four pub possibilities, old city squares, and ghost stories woven into local history. The format gives you a useful first look at the Historic District and can help you choose where to spend the rest of your evening.

I would not book it expecting a dedicated haunted-house style performance. The strongest departures seem to depend on a guide who can tell a story, manage a group, and keep the paranormal material in the foreground. When that happens, the tour offers a fun mix of spirits and spirits. When it does not, the evening can feel like a slow bar tour with too much general history.

For the best chance of enjoying it, keep your expectations broad, wear good shoes, budget for your own drinks, and ask questions. If Pierce, Andre, or Kelly is leading, you may get the lively storytelling style this tour needs. If your priority is serious ghost lore above all else, choose a more focused ghost walk instead.
