Savannah has a way of sticking in your head. This historical pub crawl is built around Savannah’s squares and a guided walk that starts at Georgia Tasting Room and ends at Chippewa Square. It’s a fun way to see the city while hearing dark, cautionary stories tied to real places.

I like that the drink part is simple and part of the pacing: three included drinks spread across the route, so you’re not stuck waiting around for the next pour. And if you’re into the storytelling side, guides like Austin and Chris have a track record of mixing Savannah history with laughs and strong navigation, even when conditions aren’t ideal.

One thing to consider: it’s rain or shine, and alcohol service is for guests 21+ only. Bring your umbrella, and keep your driver’s license handy.

Key points to know before you go

• Start and finish with purpose: Georgia Tasting Room at the beginning, Chippewa Square at the end
• Three included drinks in two hours: beer, cocktails, or champagne depending on what you choose
• Spooky stories tied to specific sightings and events: ghost and unusual-sighting themes woven through the walk
• Signature cocktail option: a tour-specific drink is part of the experience
• Strong guide energy: names like Austin and Chris come up for humor and solid historical context
• Works even in bad weather: you’ll walk rain or shine, so dress and pack for it

Start at Georgia Tasting Room, End at Chippewa Square

The meeting point matters on a walking tour, and this one is pretty easy to find. You look for your Sip ’n Shop Savannah guide at the entrance to the Georgia Tasting Room. From there, the group moves through Savannah on foot, finishing at Chippewa Square.

Why that end point is a big deal: Chippewa Square commemorates the Battle of Chippewa in the War of 1812. So instead of ending at some random bar doorway, you close with a landmark that gives the stories a real sense of place. If you’re new to Savannah, it also helps you map the city right away—this is one of those tours where the walk gives you bearings fast.

If you’re visiting with friends and want an easy “first evening” plan, starting with a known storefront and ending at a named square is exactly the kind of structure that keeps the night from getting messy.

How the 2-Hour Crawl Works: Walking Pace + Three Drinks

This tour is designed to last about 2 hours, which is just enough time to feel like you did something special without burning your whole night. You’re walking between Savannah’s historic squares, and along the way you’ll have your choice of the included drinks.

The drink count is clear: you get 3 complimentary beers or cocktails/champagne along the route. That matters because it affects how you plan your budget. At $65 per person, the drinks aren’t an optional add-on—they’re part of the core value.

The pacing is also built around conversation. You’re getting a guided story while you’re walking, then you’re sampling something at a stop. Even if you prefer the history more than the bar scene (or vice versa), the format keeps both sides moving.

One practical note: this is alcohol-included, so you’ll want to pace yourself. Two hours can feel quick when you’re listening to stories, but if you’re the type who likes to sip slowly and talk with friends, expect the stops to be a rhythm rather than a sprint.

Savannah’s Macabre Past: Ghost Sightings and Dark Deeds, With Context

The theme is straightforward: a chilling walk through Savannah’s macabre past. You’ll hear tales of unfortunate souls, unusual sightings, and where dark deeds took place—then connect those stories to the squares you’re standing in.

What I like about this approach is that the spooky details aren’t treated like random folklore. The tour frames Savannah’s past as a chain of moments: it starts with the city’s beginnings and moves toward “cursed occurrences” and eerie happenings tied to specific locations. That’s a big difference from generic ghost tours that feel like a list of scary headlines.

You also get the best of both worlds if you enjoy history but don’t want a textbook. The stories are told in a way that keeps you oriented: where you are matters, and why it matters gets explained while you’re walking.

If you’re the kind of traveler who hates when a tour is all scare-factor and no sense of “why,” you’re likely to appreciate how the narrative stays anchored to the city’s historic setting. And if you’re more curious about craft beer and cocktails, the tour still gives you something to focus on between sips.

The Drinks: Craft Beer, Local Brews, and a Signature Cocktail

Here’s the part that makes this tour feel like more than a walking lecture. You’ll sample three included drinks, and the options include local craft beer and classic cocktails, with champagne available as well.

The tour emphasizes craft beer from Georgia and lets you experiment with local brews. If beer is your thing, you’ll likely enjoy the variety angle: it’s not just one generic pour. The goal is for you to taste what Savannah and Georgia have to offer in that moment.

If beer isn’t your favorite, you’re not boxed in. You can switch to classic cocktails or champagne instead. The tour also includes a signature cocktail crafted especially for this experience, which is the kind of detail that often makes a drinks-included tour feel special rather than routine.

Practical takeaway: if you want to maximize your enjoyment, don’t force one preference all night. If you usually skip champagne, maybe try it once since it’s included. If you’re a cocktail person, consider ordering the signature drink so you get the one item you can’t easily replicate on your own later.

Weather-Proofing: Rain or Shine, Bring an Umbrella

Savannah weather can be unpredictable, so it’s good to know this tour runs rain or shine. You’ll be walking in real conditions, and you won’t be sent home just because the sky changes its mind.

That means your packing list matters. Bring:

• Umbrella
• Driver’s license (needed because alcohol service requires ID)

Alcohol service is for guests 21 years of age and older, so if you’re traveling as a group, double-check the age mix before you go. It can also affect how your group plans the rest of the night—if not everyone can drink, you may want to set expectations that everyone can still enjoy the walking tour and stories, but only those 21+ can receive alcohol.

From a comfort standpoint, wear shoes you’d wear for an evening walk, not for a quick stroll. You’ll cover enough ground that blisters would be an unnecessary stress. And if you’re sensitive to cold or wind, dress in layers; a short rain can still feel chilly once you start moving.

Also, the tour is wheelchair accessible, which is a real plus if mobility is a concern. You’ll still want to travel with the right expectations for a walking route, but it’s explicitly built to be accessible.

The Guides Make It: Austin and Chris as Storytellers

A walking tour stands or falls on the guide, and the strongest praise you’ll see for this one is about the storytelling delivery. Names like Austin and Chris show up again and again for a reason: they’re described as funny, engaging, and able to keep groups moving and interested.

Austin’s style gets linked to ghost stories that feel interesting rather than just scary, plus a sense of humor that keeps people laughing through the night. Chris is highlighted for being patient and for filling in time with extra historical tidbits when the group needs a moment to catch up.

That “keep the energy up” skill is more important than it sounds. In a pub crawl format, timing can get uneven—people buy drinks, the sidewalk slows down, someone checks a map. A good guide helps the pacing stay smooth and keeps the story thread going while everyone regroups.

So if you care about more than just checking off haunted stops, choose this tour knowing the guide is central to the fun.

Price and Value: $65 for 2 Hours and Three Drinks

Let’s talk straight value. At $65 per person for about 2 hours, this tour isn’t the cheapest thing you can do in Savannah. But the cost is doing work: you’re paying for a guided walk, plus three complimentary alcoholic drinks.

That balance changes the math. If you were to buy drinks on your own while also trying to cover historic squares and find a guide who ties it all together, you’d usually pay a lot more than $65 for the combination—especially in a tourist-forward city.

The tour also saves effort. You don’t have to research where to start, which squares to hit, or how to connect the stories to the layout of the city. The guide handles the structure, and the tour handles the drink timing.

Where the price might not feel like a win: if you don’t plan to drink alcohol at all (and you’re not 21+), you may feel like you’re paying for a format that assumes the drink component is part of your enjoyment. Even then, the walking tour and storytelling are the main attraction, but the included drinks are what make the price feel especially fair.

Who Should Book This Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl

This tour is a good fit if you want:

• a short, guided way to learn about Savannah’s past without over-planning
• a balance of spooky stories and real-city landmarks
• an evening plan that includes social time and the option to taste local craft beer or cocktails

It also fits well for first-time visitors who want to see Savannah’s squares in a guided way and come away with a few “where do I go next?” recommendations. The strongest guide feedback includes not just the stories, but also helpful city guidance.

You might want to skip it if:

• you hate walking tours or feel uncomfortable in rain
• you’re under 21 and your group would be disappointed if they can’t take part in the included alcohol component

And if you’re traveling with friends who can handle a bit of dark humor and history, it’s the kind of activity that keeps everyone engaged—even when the group has mixed interests.

Should You Book It?

Yes, you should consider booking this tour if you want a guided Savannah evening that mixes haunted themes with landmarks, and you’re happy to spend about two hours walking and sampling drinks.

It’s especially worth it when you value the combination: a structured route (Georgia Tasting Room to Chippewa Square), a clear drink package (three complimentary drinks), and a guide who can keep the atmosphere fun. Bring an umbrella, bring your ID, wear good shoes, and you’ll be set for an entertaining night that helps you understand Savannah beyond the postcard versions.
