Savannah Ghosts, Voodoo, Murder & Mystery Pub Crawl
Book on Viator →Operated by The American Tour Company, LLC · Bookable on Viator
Savannah at night turns a little scary. This Beer & Boo’s pub crawl threads together ghosts, voodoo lore, and murder-mystery storytelling while you hop through Savannah’s historic-drinking spots. I especially like that you get included drinks while still staying focused on the walking + stories part, not just the bar. One thing to consider: it depends on decent weather, and stormy nights can throw off the plan.
I also like the format. You use a mobile ticket, the group stays under 30 people, and you can hear your guide without feeling lost in a crowd. One guide, Fiona, gets real shout-outs for being fun and story-first, with personal touches that make the night feel like a guided experience rather than a grab-and-go crawl.
The main drawback is logistics on an evening where weather is unpredictable. The tour starts at Columbia Square, and if you show up in the wrong place (especially in rain), you can end up waiting around with no one there.

Beer & Boo’s in 2 hours: what the $25 really buys you
At $25 per person for about 2 hours, this is built like a “do-it-once” Savannah night. You’re paying for three things at once: a guided route through multiple historic spots, spooky storytelling, and some included drinks along the way. If you would’ve spent that money just hopping between bars on your own, the guide’s job is to turn the walk into an experience with a point.
The pace is simple. Plan for short stays at each place and a bit of walking between stops inside the historic district. The time isn’t long enough to feel dragged out, but it’s long enough that you actually move through different vibes, from darker, older rooms to more modern bar energy.
The tour name leans into Savannah Ghosts, Voodoo, Murder & Mystery, so the night’s tone is not “museum facts only.” Expect a mix of eerie local lore and crime-mystery style tales, delivered in a way that’s made for a bar setting—story first, questions welcome, and plenty of chances to socialize.
One practical note: alcohol is part of the theme, but the experience is still a guided walk. If you tend to get tired standing and walking while you’re drinking, go slower than your group and take water breaks when you can.
Other ghost & haunted tours we've reviewed in Savannah
Where it starts in Savannah: Columbia Square and a walk you can handle

The crawl begins and ends back at the same place: Columbia Square (Savannah, GA 31401). That matters because you don’t need a second plan for “how do we get back.” You can meet up, do the loop, and end where you started.
It’s also helpful that the tour is listed as near public transportation. You can build it into a night that also includes dinner or a late stroll on your own. And because it ends back at Columbia Square, it’s easier to aim for other stops nearby without worrying about calling rides across town.
The walking is part of the value. If you like Savannah for its street layout and historic corners, this route gives you a reason to be outside and moving instead of stuck at one bar. If you prefer a seated experience with minimal walking, you might find the format a bit “active.” But for most people, two hours inside the historic district is a sweet spot.
Stop 1: Abe’s on Lincoln and the grim stories of a hard past

Your first stop is Abe’s on Lincoln, a long-running Savannah spot tied to the city’s haunted reputation. The story focus here is the building’s past and the kind of suffering that echoes in old places. You’ll hear about how the location shifted into a darker chapter over time, including references to wounded and dying during a violent era in Savannah’s past.
This is a good opening stop because it sets the tone. The crawl starts with older, heavier energy, so the stories feel like they’re building, not starting and stopping each time you enter a new bar. It also helps you understand how the tour frames Savannah: not as a postcard city, but as a place where people remember.
What to watch for: a first stop can be loud. If you arrive late or can’t get close to the storyteller, you may miss the sharpest details. Arriving on time (and keeping an eye on your guide) helps.
Stop 2: Collins Quarter vibes inside the Savannah Historic District

Next up is a stop inside the Savannah Historic District, and the tour’s description points to Collins Quarter as the specific location. This is the more “restaurant-and-café” feeling break in the route, and that shift changes the mood. Instead of starting with the bleakest story, it’s where the evening starts to mix in a more supernatural, curious energy.
The vibe here is built around the idea that the line between ordinary and supernatural gets blurry. You’ll hear spooky talk that feels like it could happen in a dining room—like voices that guide choices, and the sense that past patrons might still be part of the scene. Even if you don’t take it literally, the storytelling style is meant to make you watch the room a little differently.
This stop also works well if your group includes different comfort levels with the paranormal theme. One person wants full ghost energy, another just wants a fun story with atmosphere, and the Collins Quarter-style stop gives room for both.
Stop 3: Vice Lounge + Mojito Bar, with a longer storytelling window

The third stop is Vice Lounge + Mojito Bar, and the tour’s narrative centers on the Vice side of things—the kind of place where night energy, charm, and darker themes share the same walls. This stop is scheduled for about 40 minutes, which is longer than the earlier stops. That extra time matters because it signals that this is one of the central story locations of the crawl.
If you like your ghosts with style, this is where the tone turns more glamorous. The description leans into glamour and intrigue, plus a supernatural edge—think occult-flavored rumors and “pleasure-meets-danger” storytelling. The payoff for you is simple: the guide has more time to tell the story well, and you’re more likely to feel caught up in the flow instead of just checking boxes at each bar.
If you’re booking this for a group, this longer stop can be a small win. It gives the lagging person time to rejoin and the early arriver time to get settled before the next move.
Other pub crawls and bar tours in Savannah
Stop 4: Totally Awesome Bar and the spirit of gamers past

Next is Totally Awesome Bar, another historic-district stop with a distinctly playful theme. The tour’s story focus here connects “haunted” to nostalgia—specifically the idea that spirits of gamers might still linger.
That’s not just a joke. This stop is where the crawl likely feels less like a straight horror walk and more like themed Savannah nightlife. If your group likes fun, pop-culture edges, or you want to avoid a night that’s 100% grim, this stop offers balance.
It’s also where the “challenge” idea shows up—like you’re playing against the past. Even if the guide’s tone stays spooky, the atmosphere tends to feel lighter than the earliest location. It can be a relief after the heavier tone of the first stop.
Practical consideration: because this one is tied to a theme that sounds like it might draw in certain crowds, you’ll want to arrive ready to mingle. If you go quiet and hung up on staying apart, you might not get the full benefit of the social aspect.
Stop 5: The Rail Pub to end with craft beers and spirits

Your final bar stop is The Rail Pub. This is described as a darker, story-focused place with a strong drink lineup—craft beers, spirits, and other bar favorites. The tone here is less about casual sipping and more about finishing the night with something that matches the crawl’s energy.
This is also the kind of ending that makes sense. By now, you’ve heard the spooky stories and you’ve seen how the guide keeps the route moving. Ending on a drink-focused note helps you transition from “walking the haunted streets” to “relax with the group while the night winds down.”
If you’re a craft-beer person, this stop is likely the most satisfying from a drink perspective, even if you’re not there for ghosts first. And if you’re just in it for the experience, it’s a comfortable place to close things out and talk about the most memorable story while you still feel in the moment.
The guide factor: Fiona’s storytelling style and why it matters

A big reason this crawl works is the guide. In the experiences tied to this tour, Fiona comes up again and again for being present, fun, and able to mix facts with spooky storytelling. That’s exactly what you want for a pub crawl: a guide who keeps the group together and makes each stop feel like a chapter instead of a quick photo stop.
One family even highlighted the night’s energy through the small details, like pickle back shots, plus the sense that the guide was genuinely engaged. Another shared that they caught something eerie on camera, which is the kind of story people remember long after the night ends.
Does that mean you’ll see a ghost on your phone? No. But it does suggest the guide encourages the kind of attention that makes the supernatural theme feel more real for you in the moment.
Included drinks and social time: how to get the most out of it
The tour includes drinks, and it’s also explicitly social. That combination matters. In a city like Savannah, it’s easy to walk alone and miss out on the best part—other people’s laughs, quick reactions to scary stories, and the group energy that makes it fun instead of just spooky.
Here’s how to make it work for you:
- Talk at the start of each stop, not just while you’re ordering.
- Ask a quick question about the story you just heard.
- Pace yourself. You’re walking between bars, and the night is only two hours, so one strong drink too early can hit you fast.
Also plan for tipping your guide. It’s appreciated, and this kind of role depends on that extra support to keep the storytelling lively and worth the money.
Who should book this crawl (and who should skip it)
This is a great fit if:
- You want a guided bar route with stories, not a random nightlife night
- You like Savannah’s historic district but want a reason to explore it at night
- You’re traveling with friends or a group and want an easy shared activity
You might want to think twice if:
- You’re sensitive to rain or cold nights, since the tour requires good weather
- You prefer quiet sightseeing over bar-style group energy
- You dislike walking while standing, because this is a pub-crawl format
One more group tip: the maximum group size is 30, so this is still manageable. If you’re coming with a larger party, the shared guide structure is usually a plus, because you stay together instead of splitting into random micro-groups.
Weather reality and meeting-point discipline
This experience needs good weather. If conditions turn ugly, the tour can be canceled and you’ll need to adjust. That’s not a reason to avoid it, but it is a reason to book with some flexibility when you can.
And because it starts at Columbia Square, I recommend doing one simple thing: arrive early enough to confirm you’re at the correct meeting spot before everyone else starts moving. One issue reported with rain involved confusion about whether the tour was canceled versus simply that people were at the wrong spot. Your best move is being there a bit ahead of time and staying aware of your guide.
Should you book Savannah Ghosts, Voodoo, Murder & Mystery Pub Crawl?
If you’re picking one Savannah nightlife activity that blends atmosphere, short walking, and spooky storytelling, I’d call this a solid choice. For $25 you’re getting multiple themed stops, guided ghost-and-mystery stories, and included drinks—plus you’re likely to have a more fun night than doing bar-hopping without a plan.
Book it if you:
- Want a structured ghost-themed night
- Like social activities with a guide
- Have a flexible evening and decent weather forecast
Skip or wait if you:
- Hate weather-dependent plans
- Can’t handle the bar-and-standing vibe for two hours
- Are the type who needs quiet, private sightseeing
If you do book, show up early at Columbia Square, bring good walking shoes, and let the stories set the pace. This is the kind of tour where the night feels like Savannah is telling you something back.
