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

Savannah’s haunted pub crawl works best as two outings in one: a night walk through the historic district and a relaxed introduction to local bars. You’ll begin at Six Pence Pub, hear stories tied to old squares and Colonial Park Cemetery, then stop at up to four pubs where you can buy a drink if you wish.

I like the chance to hear Savannah history from guides such as Pierce, Andre, and Kelly, who have been praised for lively storytelling and useful local recommendations. I also like that drinks are optional, so you can keep costs down or treat the evening as a bar crawl. The main drawback is that the supernatural material can vary. Some outings lean heavily toward history, jokes, and pub advice, with only a few ghost stories.

Key points to know

• Colonial Park Cemetery is viewed from the gate, not explored as a full cemetery walk.
• Up to four pubs give you time to buy drinks and use the restroom.
• Pierce and Andre receive especially strong praise for storytelling, local tips, and drink suggestions.
• Ghost content varies by guide, so expect history as well as paranormal tales.
• The $30 fee covers the guide and walk, but every drink and any food costs extra.
• The two-hour route is outdoors, with comfortable shoes especially useful in hot weather.

Starting at Six Pence Pub on Bull Street

Meet your guide at Six Pence Pub, at 245 Bull Street, in Savannah’s historic district. This is a useful starting point for a night walk because you begin among the district’s squares, old buildings, and active bars rather than at a distant meeting point.

The group can include up to 20 people. That is small enough for a guide to lead a real conversation, though a full group can make it harder to hear during longer stops. The tone depends a good deal on the person holding the lantern, so to speak. Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have drawn especially warm praise for being funny, welcoming, and able to answer questions.

You should arrive ready to walk soon after meeting the guide. This is not a seated storytelling show. You move between pubs and outdoor stops, listening as the guide connects Savannah’s streets with stories of deaths, hauntings, old residents, and local legends.

What the $30 price really covers

At $30 per person, the tour is fairly priced if you want a guide-led introduction to Savannah at night and plan to buy at least one drink along the way. You are paying for the route, the storytelling, and the convenience of being shown several bars without having to choose them yourself.

The price does not include alcohol, food, or soft drinks. That gives you control over the final bill, but you should budget for purchases at the pubs. The tour is not a package with drinks waiting for you at each stop. Instead, you have time to decide what you want, which can suit people in the same group who drink at different speeds or not at all.

The value drops if you want a tightly focused ghost investigation. This is a walking pub crawl with ghost stories, not a séance or a formal paranormal research outing. Some guides give more attention to supernatural events than others. If the main reason you are booking is a nonstop supply of frightening tales, you may find the history sections too long.

Moving through Savannah after dark

The walk takes place among Savannah’s squares and nightlife. That setting does much of the work. Streets that feel calm and architectural by day take on a different mood after sunset, especially when the guide pauses beside an old building or burial ground.

You will hear stories about several haunted places, not only the bars. The guide also points out spooky sites in the surrounding historic district, so you get a broader look at Savannah than you would from a bar-to-bar route alone.

The walking pace includes pauses for stories and time to enter or order at pubs. It is not described as a strenuous hike, but you should still wear comfortable shoes. One summer outing was especially hot, and the walk felt much easier with sensible footwear and a willingness to take the evening slowly.

Weather matters. This experience can be canceled in poor conditions, with the choice of another date or a full refund. Savannah can also be hot and humid, so an evening tour is a practical way to see the district without spending the whole afternoon outdoors.

Colonial Park Cemetery and Button Gwinnett

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the tour’s most important story stops. It is described as Savannah’s oldest burial ground, and the guide pauses outside the gate to talk about the cemetery and some of the people connected with it.

One featured figure is Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the cemetery’s most famous residents. His story gives the guide a chance to move from national history into Savannah’s own past and its legends about the dead.

Set your expectations correctly: you listen from outside the gate. This is not a cemetery tour in which you roam among the graves, and some accounts describe the route as passing the cemetery more than once. If you want an extended cemetery visit, this tour may feel light on that point.

You can bring a camera if you want to look for orbs or other eerie images. That is part of the fun for people who enjoy the paranormal side, but the tour does not promise photographic evidence. I would treat the camera as a playful extra, not the main reason to book.

The pub stops and the drinking plan

The tour visits up to four local pubs and bars. These are presented as historic or quirky places where you can order a drink, use the restroom, and take a break from the walk. The pubs are part of the experience, not just convenient stops between ghost stories.

The guide may suggest drinks or explain what makes a particular bar worth your time. Pierce has been singled out for useful drink recommendations, and several accounts praise the guides for knowing current local bars as well as Savannah’s past. This can help if you have only one night in town and want ideas for later.

You receive a to-go drink option as you move through the nightlife scene, but you still pay for your own beverages. The tour materials also make clear that food and drinks are not included. Ask the guide where to eat afterward if you want a full meal, since the walk itself is not a dinner tour.

The bar portion is likely to please you if you enjoy trying local places in a social setting. It may disappoint you if you expect every stop to be a fully guided haunted-site visit. Some outings spend more time discussing the bars, their drinks, and general Savannah history than telling ghost accounts.

How much ghost story do you get?

This is the key question before booking. The name promises a creepy crawl, but the experience is not identical every night because the guide shapes the balance.

At its best, the tour combines animated ghost stories with facts about Savannah’s streets, graves, homes, and pubs. Andre has been praised for blending paranormal material with city history, while Pierce has been praised for giving detailed background and answering questions. Kelly has also been praised for making the stories interactive and fun.

At its weaker end, the tour can feel like a history and bar walk with occasional references to ghosts. Some outings have included only a couple of clearly paranormal stories. Others have been criticized for long lectures, corny jokes, repeated stops, or too much personal talk from the guide.

That variation is important. You should book this as a flexible night out that includes ghost stories, not as a guaranteed scare machine. If you are happy learning about Savannah and stopping for drinks even when the supernatural material is light, the format has a good chance of working for you.

The guide’s conduct also matters. Most of the strongest comments praise friendly, funny, professional storytelling. A small but serious set of complaints describes guides arriving intoxicated, using excessive profanity, rambling, skipping a final bar, or failing to enter the pubs with the group. Those reports are not consistent with the best outings, but they are worth keeping in mind because the guide has a major effect on the evening.

The role of the guide

A good guide makes this experience. You want someone who can tell a ghost story clearly, place it in Savannah’s past, and keep a group moving without turning every stop into a long speech.

Pierce is repeatedly praised for Savannah background, haunting stories, drink suggestions, and recommendations for the rest of a visit. Andre receives strong marks for energy, patience, and a good mix of history and paranormal material. Kelly is praised for an interactive approach and a fun storytelling style.

Those names are useful when comparing dates, but guide assignments can change. You should not assume that choosing a tour time guarantees a particular person unless the operator confirms it.

Group behavior can affect the evening, too. A large or noisy group may make it harder to hear, and one account describes Andre keeping his patience while dealing with disruptive people. If you prefer a quiet, highly controlled walk, a group of up to 20 may feel less intimate than a small private tour.

Where the walk ends

The experience ends around Wright Square, with the stated end point at Wright Square in Savannah. The directions also describe a local bar or historic square roughly five minutes from the starting area and advise asking the guide for help with directions or transport.

In practical terms, you should not plan a tightly timed dinner reservation immediately after the tour. The route lasts about two hours, and pub service, group movement, weather, and storytelling can affect the finish. The end point is useful because you remain in the historic district, close to more bars, restaurants, and squares.

Use the final moments to ask the guide for dinner or sightseeing suggestions. Guides who know the city well have offered recommendations for places to visit the next day, which adds value beyond the official route.

Who will enjoy this most?

I would choose this for an adult couple, a group of friends, or a bachelorette group that wants an easy evening activity with drinks and local stories. The minimum age is 21, so it is designed for adults. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate, but you should be comfortable walking outdoors for roughly two hours.

It also suits first-time visitors who want orientation after dark. You pass through squares and historic areas while learning where local bars are located. The route can help you decide where to return later in your visit.

I would be more cautious if your priority is serious paranormal storytelling. The strongest version of the experience can be spooky and entertaining, but the content may lean toward general history, pub information, and jokes. A person who dislikes alcohol-centered activities may also find that the bars take up too much of the evening.

The tour is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket. Confirmation arrives when you book. Cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund. Inside that window, changes and refunds are not accepted.

Should you book the Creepy Crawl?

Book it if you want a social Savannah night with up to four bars, city history, and a chance of good ghost stories. At $30, it offers a reasonable way to get your bearings in the historic district while letting you choose how much to spend on drinks.

Skip it if you want a consistently frightening, cemetery-centered tour or a tightly scripted route. For the best chance of a satisfying evening, go in expecting history and pubs first, with paranormal tales woven through the walk. Guides such as Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have shown how enjoyable that mix can be, but the guide on your date will shape the result.
