This tour promises an evening of exploring some of Savannah’s most iconic bars, lively dance spots, and haunted pubs—all led by a guide known for storytelling and a love of spooky tales.

What we really appreciate about this experience is that it offers exclusive drink deals at each stop, plus a complimentary shooter to kick off the night, making it a bit more budget-friendly than some other pub crawls. Plus, there’s a clear focus on the stories behind the venues—ghostly encounters, scandals, and local legends—that add a memorable twist to the evening.

What We Think About the Experience

We liked how the tour balances fun and storytelling without taking itself too seriously. The inclusion of exclusive drink discounts makes it accessible for most budgets, and the stories add a layer of intrigue you don’t find on every pub crawl. The pace might be quick for some, especially if you want to linger at a particular venue, but that’s part of what makes it lively and fun.

One review pointed out that the guide’s stories aren’t just spooky—they’re also filled with scandal and humor, which keeps things light and entertaining. If you’re into ghost stories or Savannah’s darker tales, this tour offers plenty of that, plus a chance to see some great venues you might not visit on your own.

On the downside, since it’s only about 135 minutes, it’s more of a quick snapshot of Savannah’s nightlife rather than an in-depth exploration. If you’re someone who loves longer, more relaxed nights, you might want to combine this with other activities.
