Two hours can change your whole Savannah night.

This walking pub crawl mixes history lessons with a spooky twist, then pays you back with drinks at three local bars. You’ll move at an easy pace through old streets, getting context for what you’re seeing while someone keeps the mood light.

I like that the ticket is built around three included drink stops with choices (beer, champagne, or cocktail). I also like how the story side stays social, not scary, so it feels fun even if you’re not chasing a full-on horror vibe.

The one drawback to consider is time. With only about 2 hours and a drink at each stop, you’ll want to pace yourself and be ready to keep moving between locations—some people may want more time at their favorite bar.

A Two-Hour Savannah Story Walk That Still Feels Like a Night Out

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - A Two-Hour Savannah Story Walk That Still Feels Like a Night Out
Savannah is built for wandering. This tour gives you a reason to walk with purpose. You’ll hear stories tied to the city’s past while stopping at bars that match the theme: a little secretive, a little classy, and a little weird—in a good way.

The “history” part matters because it changes how you read the streets. Even if you’ve already seen a few highlights, a guide can connect the dots between what you’re looking at and why it matters. And the “haunts” part keeps things playful, with legends and eerie details that don’t require you to be brave.

I also think the structure is smart for a short visit. Two hours is long enough to feel like you did something substantial, but short enough that you can still have a full dinner and a second stop on your own.

Other pub crawls and bar tours in Savannah

Start at Georgia Tasting Room, Finish at Chippewa Square

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Start at Georgia Tasting Room, Finish at Chippewa Square
You meet at Georgia Tasting Room, 306 W Saint Julian Street. From there, the tour ends at Chippewa Square—the classic Savannah meeting point—so you’re not stuck at some random side street when it’s over.

Why that matters: Chippewa Square is easy to navigate from. It’s a natural place to regroup, grab photos, and head toward your next plan—whether that’s a late-night dessert hunt or a calm drink back near the center.

Also, the tour is designed around walking. It’s not a bus tour. So wear shoes you actually trust for cobblestones and curb cuts, and plan to keep your phone charged for those story moments when you’ll want to look things up right after.

Three Stops, Three Drink Styles: Speakeasy, Champagne, and Slushy Sips

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Three Stops, Three Drink Styles: Speakeasy, Champagne, and Slushy Sips
This crawl is organized around three drink stops, and each stop comes with a choice between beer, champagne, or cocktail. In plain terms: you’re not stuck with one option that you’ll regret later.

Stop 1 is described as the start of the bar route that quickly shifts into Savannah’s past. The tour is set up so you’re not just “walking to bars.” You’re getting a context lesson first, then stepping into a matching vibe.

Here’s what to expect from the three locations:

The secret speakeasy stop

You’ll get a classic “locals-only” feeling without the effort of finding a password. This stop is built for the haunts-and-history mood—think darker, moodier surroundings and stories that fit the setting.

This is also where the night can really click if you’re the type who likes atmosphere. If you’re looking for a ghost story that lands, this is usually the stop people remember most.

The classy champagne bar

Then the tour shifts tone. You go from secretive to refined. Champagne (or a cocktail, or beer—your choice) keeps it light, and it’s a nice change of pace so you don’t feel like the crawl is one long “dark bar” sequence.

If you’re traveling with friends who don’t want the whole evening to be spooky, this stop often makes the group feel balanced.

The wine/moonshine slushy bar

The last stop includes something a little more seasonal-feeling: wine and moonshine slushies. Multiple guides and guests mention people not knowing slushies like this even exist, then loving it once they try it.

If you want a playful “Savannah specific” drink moment, aim to be present here. Don’t overthink it. Just plan to taste one thing you wouldn’t normally order at home.

How the Drink Timing Really Works (And How to Avoid the Stress)

On paper, you’re getting three drinks in about two hours. That’s the whole point of the value, but it does create a practical rhythm.

Here’s what I’d plan for:

  • Arrive ready to order fast.
  • Expect short stays at each stop.
  • Keep your energy for the walk between locations.

One reviewer said there wasn’t enough time to finish a drink at a bar. The good news? The tour’s format allows you to carry your drinks with you. In other words, you can keep the evening going instead of feeling trapped.

Another thing I’d keep in mind: the first stop can feel more like a launch pad than a “sit and linger” bar. Some people love that; others wanted more pure bar time. If you’re the type who wants a long, leisurely hang at one place, think of this as a three-stop sampler, not a single-bar takeover.

Price and Value: Why $60 Can Actually Make Sense in Savannah

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Price and Value: Why $60 Can Actually Make Sense in Savannah
The price is $60 per person, and the big value hook is simple: your ticket covers the drinks. Each stop gives you an option among beer, champagne, or cocktail, and you get one drink at each of the three locations.

So the real question isn’t just What does it cost? It’s: How much would you pay for three organized drink stops with guided stories, in a city where drinks and short walks add up fast?

What helps this feel fair:

  • You’re paying for planning and pacing, not just the drink.
  • You get history + mood + movement, not only alcohol.
  • The route ends where most visitors want to be: Chippewa Square.

If you’re traveling with friends and doing the math, it’s easier to justify because the cost stays predictable. No guessing games at each bar.

If you want to stretch the savings even further, there’s a promo code listed as SNS10 for extra savings.

The Guides Are Part of the Product: Chris, Addison, and Austin

This kind of tour rises or falls on the guide. Here, the names come up again and again: Chris, Addison, and Austin.

What the best guides do (and what you should look for when you’re booking):

  • They keep the pace comfortable, not rushed.
  • They connect stories to what you can see outdoors.
  • They answer questions without turning it into a lecture.
  • They make the ghost lore feel fun and readable.

One guide went beyond the usual talk by sharing photos during the walk—useful because it helps you picture what the city used to look like and what details to notice once you’re back on your own. Another recurring theme: the tours aren’t overly scary. It’s spooky, but manageable.

If you get a guide who leans more on the history side, that’s usually a win for people who don’t want pure haunt theatrics.

Weather, Rain, and the Walking Reality

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Weather, Rain, and the Walking Reality
This is a walking crawl. That’s why “good weather” matters here. The tour notes that if weather makes it unsafe, it may be canceled. When that happens, you’re offered a different date or a full refund.

Plan for a quick decision moment: check the forecast the day of. If it’s looking rough, don’t lock in your dinner plans right next door as if the tour will definitely run on the exact minute.

If you’re going during a peak weather window, I’d also build flexibility into the rest of your evening.

Group Size, Big Parties, and How to Stay Comfortable

The maximum group size is 25. That’s a sweet spot for a guided walk—large enough to meet people, small enough to still feel like a tour.

That said, some occasions can produce extra chaos when there are multiple party groups in the mix. If you’re traveling with a large bachelorette or mixed large group yourself, you’ll likely have the smoothest time if you come with a relaxed vibe and understand the guide has to manage movement and drink pacing for everyone.

If you’re hoping for a calmer, quieter experience, consider booking at a time when you’re less likely to collide with party-heavy crowds.

Who Should Book History, Haunts and Hops?

This is a strong pick if you want:

  • A guided “what you’re seeing” story without turning it into a museum day
  • A fun ghost angle that doesn’t feel too intense
  • Three included drinks across different bar styles
  • A short activity that fits into your Savannah schedule

It also works well if you want something for different ages, since the tone described is spooky but not extreme. Couples often like it because it gives shared talking points while you walk. Friends tend to love it because it’s social without being rowdy.

If you’re the type who dislikes walking, or you want long stays at one bar, you might find the structure a bit too “move on” for your taste. But if you can enjoy a sampler night, it’s a good fit.

Should You Book This Pub Crawl?

I’d book it if you like your Savannah with a plan, but not a strict itinerary. The combination of three included drink stops, a guide-led history thread, and a route that ends at Chippewa Square makes this one of the easier “yes” decisions for a two-hour window.

I’d think twice if:

  • You hate walking tours and need frequent sitting breaks.
  • You want heavy scare-factor horror. This is more about lore and atmosphere.
  • You prefer one bar where you can linger for an hour.

For most visitors, though, this is a practical way to get out at night, see parts of Savannah you might miss, and pay a set price for a set experience.
