Ghost stories and cocktails in Savannah? That works. This Savannah Terrors crawl pairs historic stops with local ghost lore, so you’re walking the city’s darker corners with a lantern and a plan. I like how the tour runs like a guided evening out, not just a list of spooky addresses.

Two things I really liked: the lineup includes big-name haunted stops like Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90, plus a classic chill-maker at Colonial Park Cemetery. I also like that you’re served Chatham Artiller Punch, the drink that saved the city, which turns the whole night from spooky to story-plus-flavor.

One thing to consider: you’ll be on foot and need to comfortably walk more than a mile, so if your legs are already tired before you start, you may want to plan a gentler night.

Key Highlights Worth Your Time

• Four tavern stops built for atmosphere at places including Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90
• Chatham Artiller Punch ties a real Savannah legend to a real drink
• Colonial Park Cemetery is the “chills with context” stop you’ll remember
• Sixpence Pub includes the kind of temperature-drop moment you feel instantly
• An expert guide who keeps the pace fun and the stories clear, with guides like Ashley and Miranda doing standout work

How the Savannah Terrors Crawl Works in 2 Hours

This tour is designed for a short, high-impact night. You’ll spend about 2 hours moving through Savannah’s historic district on foot while hitting 8 historic, haunted sites total, including 4 pubs. The idea isn’t to rush. It’s to stop long enough to take in each place’s mood, then move on when the next story is ready.

Timing matters here. You’ll generally get 15–20 minutes at some locations, and in a few cases you may stay closer to an hour, especially when a stop needs time for the setting to sink in. That’s helpful if you’re the kind of person who likes to look around, not just stand and listen.

One more detail I appreciate: the “watering holes” lineup can change tour to tour. So even if you hear about a specific route, know that you’re booking the experience—the theme, pacing, and story style—more than a rigid checklist.

Meeting at Oglethorpe Square and Finding Your Guide Fast

Your night begins at haunted Oglethorpe Square. The square is small, which helps, because you won’t spend the first part of your walk wandering around trying to spot the group.

Look for the guide wearing a black USGA-branded t-shirt and carrying a lantern. That lantern is not subtle. It’s basically a walking beacon for people who get turned around easily—so lean on it.

This is also where you’ll want to be organized. Bring a photo ID (a copy is accepted) since the tour is not suitable for people under 21. The tour starts with the assumption that you can confirm your age quickly, so don’t count on digging through your bag at the last second.

Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90: Tavern Stops With Real Character

Two of the taverns you’ll hit are Original Pinkie Masters and 17hundred90. I like these kinds of stops because they do two things at once: they give you a drink-and-chat setting, and they act like a time machine. You’re not just hearing the story—you’re hearing it in the exact room where the vibe lingers.

At each tavern, the tour gives you a real window to settle. You’ll have time to look around, get your beverage, and hear what ties Savannah’s past to the place you’re standing in. That matters because ghost stories land harder when you can picture the walls, the layout, and the “why would this happen here” logic.

Practical note: since the tour is short, you’ll want to pace your sipping. You’re going to move from one haunted stop to the next, and some venues can get busy around entry. Drink, listen, and keep an eye on where the group is headed.

Colonial Park Cemetery: The Chill Stop That Feels Personal

If there’s a “main event” moment, it’s Colonial Park Cemetery. This is the stop where the tour leans fully into historical Savannah atmosphere and the paranormal side of the city.

What I like about cemetery stops on tours like this is that they slow you down. You can’t treat it like just another bar. The place has weight. The stories here don’t float above the ground—they connect to the feeling of being in a real historic site where time has piled up.

Expect a moment where you actually look, not just listen. You’ll feel the tension of a group gathered in silence or half-silence, and then the guide’s story brings it into focus. If you’re the type who likes spooky without jumping at every shadow, this is the kind of chill that works.

Sixpence Pub: When the Tour Says Feel the Temperature

Another named stop is Sixpence Pub. The tour experience here includes a “hold up, something feels different” type of moment—specifically described as the temperature dropping as you enter.

I’ll be honest: some of the effect will depend on the conditions of the building and the timing of your stop. But as part of a guided haunted crawl, what matters is how the guide sets it up and how the group reacts. You’re primed to notice the shift, and that makes the experience memorable even if you’re not easily spooked.

This is also a good venue for hearing how the guide threads the supernatural theme through Savannah’s real pub culture. Bars in old cities weren’t just about drinks; they were about news, gossip, and community. That’s often the fertile ground where ghost stories grow.

Chatham Artiller Punch: A Drink With a Story and a Purpose

You’ll get a Chatham Artiller Punch on the tour. This is one of the highlights because it’s not random cocktail trivia. The drink is described as the one that saved the city—meaning you’re taking a sip with a historical reason behind it.

I like that because it keeps the tour anchored. You’re not only following creepy narratives. You’re also tasting a piece of Savannah legend that gives the ghost talk extra credibility. Even if you’re not a drink person, the fact that the drink is tied to the city’s survival story gives the stop weight.

What to do with this info: treat the punch as the “anchor sip.” Have it around the midpoint of your night so you don’t end up too buzzed too early. And since food isn’t included, make sure you eat before you go. The tour includes drinks, but it does not replace dinner.

The Stories, the Guide, and Why Guides Ashley and Miranda Stand Out

The tour is run by US Ghost Adventures, and the magic ingredient isn’t just the stops. It’s the delivery—clear storytelling with local ghost lore that’s built to feel believable without getting silly.

In the reviews, the guides Ashley and Miranda come up strongly, and that makes sense. Their role isn’t only to tell ghost stories. They also manage the flow of the group across multiple locations and keep the tone fun. One review even praised how well the guide handled the group’s energy—an important skill on a pub crawl where people can vary a lot in how quickly they loosen up.

You’ll also hear that the guide’s stories are described as authentic, local, and well-researched and credible. That combination matters. If you’re a history nerd, you’ll appreciate the context. If you’re a skeptic, you’ll still enjoy the structure because it’s tied to places you can actually stand in.

Price and Value: What $30 Gets You (and What It Doesn’t)

At $30 per person, this tour lands in the “spend smart” category. Here’s what you’re paying for:

• A 2-hour guided experience
• 8 historic, haunted sites
• 4 pub stops
• A drink included (Chatham Artiller Punch)
• Local ghost stories and historical context

What you’re not paying for is just as important:

• Food and drinks beyond the included drink
• Transportation

To me, the value is strongest if you’re already planning to spend time in Savannah anyway and you want someone to turn the night into a guided narrative. If you’re simply trying to drink at random bars, you’ll spend less—but you won’t get the cemetery chills, the temperature-drop storytelling setup, and the “saved the city” punch context.

Also, since this is only 2 hours, it’s easier to fit into a busy itinerary than a longer ghost tour. You can do this early evening, then still make room for a later dinner.

Who This Tour Suits Best (and Who Might Want a Different Night)

This tour is a great match if you:

• Want a fun, guided way to see Savannah’s historic streets
• Like spooky stories that connect to real places
• Enjoy pub culture, but still want a plan for where to go next
• Prefer a short outing where the time is structured

It’s less ideal if you:

• Don’t comfortably walk more than a mile
• Want a quiet, sit-down experience—this one is built around moving and stopping
• Are under 21 (ID is required)

The tour is listed as wheelchair accessible, but the overall walking requirement and the note that it’s not suitable for people with mobility impairments means you should judge it honestly for your own needs. If mobility is a question, contact the operator before booking so you’re not guessing.

Practical Tips for a Smooth, Spooky Evening

Bring comfortable shoes. The experience is short, but the walking adds up quickly in historic districts where you’ll be stepping along streets and into venues.

Dress for weather. The tour runs rain or shine, so if Savannah does its usual late-evening weather switch, you’ll still be walking. A light rain layer helps.

Follow the rules: no smoking and no video recording. That’s not just policy—it helps keep the tour respectful at historic sites and cemeteries.

Finally, manage expectations: the lineup includes 8 sites and some locations are described as getting 15–20 minutes plus. That’s enough time to feel the place, but it’s not enough time to do deep independent exploring at every stop. If you want extra wandering, plan it before or after the tour.

Should You Book Savannah Terrors: Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

I think you should book this if you want a compact night that blends historic Savannah stops, cemetery chills, and tavern atmosphere, with one included drink that actually has a local legend attached. The guide-driven pacing is the difference-maker, and the strong praise for guides like Ashley and Miranda suggests you’ll get a fun group vibe and clear storytelling rather than a rushed route.

Skip it if your plans don’t include walking and you want food included, or if you’d rather do ghost-hunting on your own time without moving through multiple venues in a set window. With $30 and a 2-hour format, it’s a good value when you’re in the mood for a guided night out—and a reasonable one to skip if you want a slower, self-paced evening.
