Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl

Savannah Terrors mixes old taverns with ghost lore, giving you a night of four historic pubs and eight haunted sites for $30. You will visit places such as Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90, pass through Colonial Park Cemetery, and hear why Chatham Artiller Punch is tied to Savannah’s survival.

I like the blend of local history and easygoing pub time, and I like that the tour stays on foot in the historic center rather than sending you into a vehicle. Guides Miranda and Ashley have earned especially warm praise for their humor, patience, and command of the stories. The main caution is timing: one booking ended about 40 minutes early, so the two-hour schedule may not always be filled.

Key points at a glance

A ghost walk with a drink in your hand

Savannah Terrors is not a standard bar crawl where you simply move from one drinking spot to the next. It uses Savannah’s old streets, squares, cemetery, and taverns as one connected story. You walk with a guide, stop at eight historic or haunted sites, and hear local tales between drinks.

The format works well for Savannah because the city’s historic center is compact and full of old buildings with stories attached to them. Instead of spending the whole evening inside a single pub, you get short stretches outdoors and several changes of scene. That keeps the night moving, though it also means you should not expect a long dinner, a full cocktail tasting, or extended time at every bar.

The advertised price is $30 per person. That is a fair entry price for a two-hour guided walk with four pub stops, but it is not the final cost of the evening. Food and drinks are extra, and you should budget for anything you order at the taverns. If you want a low-cost way to see several old pubs and hear Savannah ghost stories, the price makes sense. If you are looking for a drinks-included pub tour, it does not.

Meeting at Oglethorpe Square

Every tour begins and ends at The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, at 307 East President Street. The meeting point is near Oglethorpe Square, a small square where you should be able to spot the guide without much trouble.

Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. The guide wears a black US Ghost Adventures shirt and carries a lantern, which makes the group easier to find in the evening. This is useful in a city where several historic squares and old taverns can begin to look alike after dark.

The route is conducted in English. Transportation is not provided, so plan to reach the meeting point on your own and allow time to return to your lodging after the tour. Since the crawl begins and ends at the same location, you do not need to arrange a pickup at a second part of town.

Original Pinkie Masters and Savannah’s old tavern culture

Original Pinkie Masters is one of the named pub stops. The draw here is not simply having a drink in an old bar. It is the chance to connect Savannah’s political and social past with the casual atmosphere of a local tavern.

You will have time to order a drink, look around, and listen to the guide explain why the place matters. The schedule allows roughly 15 minutes to an hour at each location, so the amount of time at Original Pinkie Masters can vary. That flexibility is useful when a group needs more time to order, but it also means you cannot count on a set amount of time inside each pub.

Because drinks are not included, you control your spending. You can order something simple or choose a craft beverage, but do not assume the $30 ticket covers it. This is one reason the tour suits people who prefer to make their own choices at the bar rather than receive a fixed drink package.

The 17Hundred90 stop and the start and finish point

The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant serves as both the meeting point and one of the named historic pubs. That gives the evening a useful sense of place. You begin near one of Savannah’s older settings, leave for the walking portion, and return to the same area when the stories are done.

This stop may appeal most to people who like old inns and historic restaurants more than loud nightlife. The tour’s focus is the building’s age, atmosphere, and ghost lore, not a modern club scene. You can expect the guide to supply the context and tell local stories while you take in the setting.

Since the tour begins and ends here, you can also use the area as a convenient reference point when planning dinner or your next stop. The activity itself does not include food, so plan that separately. A two-hour walk with drinks can leave you ready for a meal afterward.

Chatham Artiller Punch and the city’s survival

One of the more distinctive pieces of the evening is Chatham Artiller Punch, described as the drink that saved the city. That phrase gives the drink a historical role rather than treating it as just another cocktail.

You should think of this as a story attached to a local drink. The tour lets you connect Savannah’s past with something you can taste, but the beverage is not included in the ticket price. Ask about the drink at the appropriate stop and be ready to pay the tavern directly.

I like this part of the experience because it gives the history a physical form. Dates and names can blur during a walking tour. A local punch, served in a pub tied to the city’s past, is easier to remember. It also gives you a clear choice: order it if you want the full theme of the evening, or skip it if you are managing your alcohol intake or budget.

Colonial Park Cemetery after dark

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the most important outdoor stops. The cemetery brings a sharper edge to the evening than the taverns do. Instead of hearing a story in a lively bar, you are standing in a place directly connected with death, burial, and Savannah’s past.

This is where the tour’s setting does much of the work. You do not need theatrical effects for the atmosphere to change. A cemetery at night, a lantern-carrying guide, and a story rooted in the city’s past can create the chill the tour promises.

You should also remember that this is a walking tour, not a staged haunted attraction. The effect depends on your interest in ghost tales and your willingness to let the guide set the mood. If you prefer documented history over supernatural claims, listen for the factual background and treat the ghost accounts as local tradition.

The cemetery stop is also a good reason to wear proper shoes. The full route covers more than one mile, and the tour runs rain or shine. Comfortable footwear and weather-ready clothing will make more difference than any extra gadget.

Sixpence Pub and the change in temperature

Sixpence Pub is described as another haunted stop, with a sharp change in atmosphere as you enter. The promised temperature drop is part of the paranormal story surrounding the place, and the pub gives the crawl one of its strongest indoor settings.

You will get a contrast here: outdoor streets and cemetery space give way to a tavern where the guide can focus the group on the building itself. That shift helps break up the walk. It also gives you a chance to order a drink and settle in briefly before moving on.

The pub lineup can change from tour to tour. Sixpence is highlighted as a key stop, but you should not treat every location as guaranteed unless the operator confirms it for your date. The same applies to the order of the stops. The flexible lineup keeps the experience from feeling fixed, but it makes the tour less predictable for anyone planning a particular bar visit.

The remaining pubs and four additional haunted sites

Along with Original Pinkie Masters, 17hundred90, and Sixpence Pub, the tour includes a fourth tavern. The exact lineup can change, so the fourth pub is not named in the available details.

The pub portion is paired with four other historic or haunted sites, bringing the total to eight stops. That balance matters. You are not paying only for access to bars, and you are not spending the whole night listening to ghost stories in the street. The tour shifts between built history, outdoor locations, and places where you can order a drink.

Time at each stop may range from 15 or 20 minutes to an hour. A short stop can feel rushed if you want to order, listen, and explore the room. A longer stop gives you more time to settle into the atmosphere, but the pace may slow if you prefer constant movement. Your experience will depend partly on the guide, the group, and how the evening’s lineup is arranged.

The guides make or break the evening

The strongest personal praise has gone to Miranda and Ashley. Miranda is described as fun and able to keep the tour lively. Ashley is praised for being highly informed and patient with a group that was drinking.

That tells you something important about this format. A haunted pub crawl needs more than a list of ghost stories. The guide has to manage walking, ordering, timing, history, and a group whose energy may rise as the evening goes on. A guide who can keep the tone light without losing the historical thread is a real asset.

The tour uses local ghost stories and researched history. You should expect a mix of factual background and supernatural accounts, not a formal academic lecture. If you want only verified historical events, this may not be your ideal Savannah tour. If you enjoy hearing how a city remembers its old buildings and unusual deaths, the combination is a good fit.

One caution: the quality and pace can vary. One booking reported mediocre stories, rushed pub stops, and an ending well before the advertised two hours. That is a meaningful concern, especially if you are booking mainly for detailed storytelling. The favorable experiences point to strong guides, but the shorter outing shows that the schedule is not always consistent.

Who should book this $30 crawl?

I would suggest this tour to adults who want a relaxed introduction to Savannah’s historic center after sunset. It suits couples, small friend groups, and first-time visitors who want to combine drinks with local stories rather than spend the night in one bar.

It is also a good choice if you like having a guide handle the route. You do not need to research four pubs or decide which haunted places to visit. The group walks together, and the guide supplies the background.

You should think twice if you want a serious paranormal investigation. A rented paranormal device may be available for an additional $7, but one experience found it did not add much. The tour is built around stories, places, and atmosphere, not scientific testing.

You should also reconsider it if walking more than one mile is difficult. The activity information says it is not recommended for people who cannot manage that distance. Although the tour is described as wheelchair accessible, the mobility warning is important, so confirm that the route suits your needs before booking.

The tour is for people age 21 and older. Bring identification, with a copy accepted, and do not plan to smoke or make video recordings during the activity. Dress for the weather because the tour operates in rain or shine.

Should you book Savannah Terrors?

Book it if you want four pub stops, cemetery atmosphere, and Savannah ghost stories in one compact evening. The $30 fee is reasonable when you value a guide and a planned route, but remember that drinks and food come on top.

I would book this for the setting and the chance to hear a good guide connect Savannah’s old pubs with its darker tales. I would not book it if a full two hours, long pub stays, or polished paranormal storytelling are essential. The most practical approach is to treat the tour as a guided historic walk with drinks, not a guaranteed two-hour drinking session or a serious ghost hunt.
