Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl

Savannah’s haunted bar crawl mixes a short evening walk with cocktails, historic streets, and stories about the city’s darker past. You begin at the Flip Flop Shops on Bull Street, then follow your guide through the Historic District to several bars and other spooky locations.

I like the easy pace and the chance to choose cocktails at the stops. I also like that guides such as Sarah Anne and Austin bring humor and solid Savannah history to the stories. The main drawback is that two hours goes quickly, and the experience depends on good weather, open venues, and your group staying healthy enough to keep walking.

Key points to know before booking

• Starts at 8:30 pm at 100 Bull Street: Plan to arrive at the Flip Flop Shops meeting point before the evening walk begins.
• Covers several bars on foot: Stops may include Savannah Taphouse, Abe’s on Lincoln, 17hundred90, and McDonoughs.
• Ghost stories come with historical context: Guides tell chilling tales while explaining Savannah’s past in a humorous, accessible way.
• The walk is described as simple: You should still wear comfortable shoes since the activity lasts about two hours.
• The group can reach 30 people: The size may feel social rather than intimate, especially on a busy evening.
• You return to the starting point: The activity ends back at 100 Bull Street, which makes evening planning easier.

A ghostly start on Bull Street

The experience begins at 8:30 pm outside the Flip Flop Shops at 100 Bull Street. This first stop takes about five minutes and serves mainly as the gathering point, so do not expect a full attraction visit there or an included admission ticket.

That short opening matters. A pub crawl works best when you know where to meet, who is leading, and what kind of evening lies ahead. Once the group is together, the guide leads you into Savannah’s Historic District for the main portion of the outing.

I would arrive a little early. The meeting point is in a central part of Savannah, near public transportation, and the activity returns there at the end. That gives you a fixed place to begin and finish instead of leaving you at a bar across town late at night.

Walking through Savannah after dark

The main walk lasts about two hours. You move through the Historic District with the guide, stopping at bars and locations connected with Savannah’s unsettling past.

The appeal is not simply having a drink in an old city. The guide gives the streets a second layer. A square, building, or tavern becomes part of a story, and the evening setting helps the ghost tales land with more force.

I like this format for a first night in Savannah because it combines orientation with entertainment. You get a look at the historic center while learning why certain places have a spooky reputation. It is also more active than sitting through a standard storytelling session, but less demanding than a long walking tour.

The pace has been described as simple walking. That suggests a manageable outing for most people, though you should still expect to remain on your feet and move between stops. Comfortable shoes are a sensible choice. The tour is not presented as a strenuous hike, but cobbled or uneven city surfaces can make poor footwear a nuisance.

The bars on the route

The planned route can include Savannah Taphouse, Abe’s on Lincoln, 17hundred90, McDonoughs, and other haunted locations. The exact flow between these places may depend on the evening, the guide, and conditions at each venue.

At the bars, you can choose from cocktail options rather than being locked into one fixed drink. That flexibility is useful if you have a particular taste or want to keep the evening light. It also means the cost of drinks is an important part of your overall budget, since admission tickets and drink prices are not included in the supplied tour details.

Savannah Taphouse provides a more casual pub setting. Abe’s on Lincoln adds another recognizable downtown stop, while 17hundred90 is especially fitting for a ghost-themed evening because of its old Savannah atmosphere and long-running reputation. McDonoughs gives the crawl another social bar stop before the group moves on.

You should think of these places as supporting stops, not separate guided attractions. The focus is the combination of walking, drinks, and storytelling. If you want extended time at one bar, this format may feel rushed. If you prefer variety and a moving evening, the route makes more sense.

The storytelling is the main event

The strongest part of this experience is the guide’s delivery. Sarah Anne has led the walk with a mix of humor and education, making the ghost stories entertaining without stripping away their historical setting. Austin has also guided the crawl, packing a good deal of Savannah history into the short time available.

Another guide name connected with the experience is Sara. Her role has been described as understanding and well informed about haunted sites, which suggests that guide assignments can vary. That matters because a pub crawl with ghost stories depends heavily on personality. The route gives the structure, but the guide determines how memorable the night feels.

I would book this if you enjoy stories delivered with a smile rather than a grim lecture. The humorous tone helps keep the evening relaxed, especially when the stories become dark. At the same time, the guides appear to treat the history seriously enough to give the tales some setting and context.

Do not expect a scholarly investigation into every haunting. This is a social walking experience with ghost stories, not a research seminar or a paranormal experiment. You are paying for an entertaining way to see the district after dark, with a guide adding local color along the way.

What the two-hour schedule really means

The listed duration is about two hours and five minutes. That is enough time for several bar stops and a useful introduction to Savannah’s haunted side, but it is not enough for long visits at every location.

The five-minute meeting-point stop leaves roughly two hours for the walking route. That time must cover travel between bars, ordering drinks, group movement, and storytelling. A guide who packs in as much history as Austin did can make the schedule feel full, but you should not expect long, unhurried conversations at each bar.

This shorter length is a strength if you want an evening activity that fits around dinner or another plan. It is also useful for people who prefer not to commit to a full-night crawl. The weakness is that the group may need to keep moving, especially if a stop is crowded or drink service takes time.

The activity ends back at 100 Bull Street. That return point is practical. You are not left to find your way from an unfamiliar bar at the end of the night, and you can plan transportation from the same central area where you started.

Group size, comfort, and the evening setting

The maximum group size is 30 people. That is large enough to create a friendly, social mood, though it may limit one-on-one time with the guide. If you prefer a quiet, intimate ghost walk, a full group could feel too broad. If you enjoy meeting people and sharing a few drinks, the size may work well.

The experience is offered in English. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. It is near public transportation, which helps with getting to and from the central meeting point.

Because this takes place at night, I would make a simple plan for the return journey. The tour itself ends where it began, but your wider evening still depends on local transportation and your own arrangements. The supplied details do not promise transportation between bars, so you should expect to walk the route with the group.

Weather can affect the outing. The activity requires good weather, and a cancellation for poor conditions brings an offer of another date or a full refund. That policy is helpful, but it also means you should keep a little flexibility in your Savannah schedule if rain is possible.

Value: what you are really paying for

No price is provided here, so I cannot judge the exact deal in dollars. I can explain how to assess it. The value comes from having a guide connect several bars and haunted sites into one organized evening, rather than finding each location yourself and trying to supply the history on your own.

Your booking includes the guided experience, but the available information does not list admission tickets or drinks as included. Plan for those extra costs. The ability to choose cocktails is a plus, though your final bill will depend on what you order at each stop.

For me, the best value is the blend of three things: a short orientation to the Historic District, a social bar route, and ghost stories that give the walk a clear theme. If you only want drinks, you can visit bars independently. If you only want history, a daytime walking tour may offer more time and detail. This crawl earns its value by joining both ideas in one evening.

The 92 percent recommendation rate and 4.8 rating from 12 ratings point to a strong response, but the small number means I would not treat the score as a guarantee. The written experiences also show the limits of judging a group outing. One party had to leave after illness connected with food eaten elsewhere, while the guide was still described as kind and informed. That situation was outside the guide’s control, but it is a reminder that leaving early means you will not receive the full experience.

Who will enjoy this crawl most

This is a good match for you if you want:

• A relaxed evening walk instead of a formal daytime tour
• Savannah ghost stories told with humor
• Several bar stops rather than one fixed venue
• A short activity that ends at its starting point
• A social outing for a couple, friends, or a small group
• A first look at the Historic District after dark

It may be less suitable if you want a quiet private tour, a long stop at each bar, or a detailed examination of Savannah architecture. The group can reach 30 people, and the two-hour schedule keeps the evening moving.

The activity also suits people who are comfortable making their own choices about drinks. Since cocktails are not specified as included, you should budget separately and avoid assuming that every stop will offer the same menu or pace.

Booking and cancellation details

Confirmation is provided when you book, and the experience uses a mobile ticket. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before 8:30 pm are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted. The cut-off follows Savannah local time. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, you will be offered another date or experience, or a full refund.

Those rules are fairly clear, but the weather condition deserves attention. Do not make this your only plan for a rainy evening if your schedule cannot absorb a change.

Should you book the Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl?

Book it if you want a social, story-led night in Savannah with several drinks stops and a guide who can make local ghost lore lively. The strongest reasons are the easy walking route, the return to the central meeting point, and guides such as Sarah Anne and Austin, who bring humor and history to the evening.

Skip it if your priority is a long, quiet historical tour or a carefully paced cocktail tasting. The group may reach 30 people, drinks and admission are not listed as included, and two hours leaves limited time at each bar.

For most visitors who want an entertaining introduction to Savannah after dark, this is a sensible choice. Arrive early at 100 Bull Street, wear comfortable shoes, allow extra money for drinks, and keep your evening flexible in case the weather changes.
