Creepy Crawl Night-Time Haunted Pub Walking Tour of Savannah’s Historic District

Savannah after dark is made for ghost stories, and this tour adds a practical bonus: four local pub stops where you can buy a drink and take a break from walking. You’ll hear tales tied to old bars, city squares, and Colonial Park Cemetery, including the story of Button Gwinnett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

I like the chance to see Savannah’s nighttime streets while a guide such as Pierce, Andre, or Kelly handles the storytelling. I also like that drinks are optional, so you can keep the cost near the $30 tour price or order along the way. The main concern is focus: some guides lean hard into Savannah history and bar recommendations, while the ghost content can feel light.

Key points to know before you book

• Colonial Park Cemetery is viewed from the gate: You hear about its famous residents, including Button Gwinnett, but the tour does not promise a cemetery walk.
• Up to four pubs are included in the route: You pay for your own drinks, with time to order and use the restroom at each stop.
• Guide quality shapes the evening: Pierce, Andre, and Kelly have received especially warm praise for storytelling, local advice, and drink suggestions.
• The tour is part ghost walk, part Savannah history lesson: Expect plenty of old buildings, squares, and local stories, but not a nonstop parade of hauntings.
• You’ll walk for about two hours: Comfortable shoes matter, especially during hot weather.
• The group can reach 20 people: That keeps the price reasonable, though a large or noisy group can make storytelling harder to follow.

Savannah’s ghost stories come with a bar tab

The Creepy Crawl begins at Six Pence Pub, at 245 Bull Street. From there, your guide leads you through Savannah’s Historic District after sunset, mixing stops at local bars with stories about spooky buildings, old streets, and people tied to the city’s past.

The basic formula is simple. Walk, stop, listen, order a drink if you want one, then move on. The tour lasts about two hours and costs $30 per person, which is fair if you want both a guided evening walk and access to several bars. It is less appealing if you only want a serious paranormal investigation or a quiet history talk.

You are not required to drink. That matters because the tour works for a mixed group, with some people ordering cocktails or beer and others simply listening. If you do buy drinks, remember that alcohol, food, and all other refreshments are extra.

The company limits the group to 20 people. That is small enough for a guide to keep the group moving through the squares, but it is not an intimate private walk. If everyone gathers close and listens, the size should work well. If the group becomes chatty, the story portions may be harder to catch.

Starting at Six Pence Pub on Bull Street

Six Pence Pub serves as the meeting point and sets the tone right away. This is not a silent cemetery walk where you spend the entire evening outdoors. It is a social night out, with a pub as the launch point and more bar stops ahead.

Your guide introduces the plan, then leads the group through the surrounding streets. The route includes several historic squares and nighttime views of Savannah’s old buildings. You get a sense of the city as a place where daily life, nightlife, and spooky folklore share the same blocks.

Guides named in the tour’s feedback include Pierce MacIain, Andre, and Kelly. Pierce is often praised for combining Savannah history with ghost stories and for offering food and sightseeing suggestions for the rest of your visit. Andre is described as entertaining, patient, and good at handling a large group. Kelly is noted for an interactive storytelling style.

Those names do not guarantee who will lead your departure. Still, they give you an idea of the best version of this tour: a guide who can tell a story with some drama, answer questions, and help you understand the city beyond the pub stops.

Four bar stops, with time to choose your own drink

The tour visits up to four local Savannah pubs and bars. The exact places can vary, so you should think of the bar portion as a guided introduction to local nightlife rather than a fixed tasting menu.

This is a useful arrangement for first-time visitors. You do not have to spend your evening guessing which bars are worth entering. Your guide points out places with historic character, explains what makes each stop interesting, and gives you time to order a drink or use the restroom.

The drink stops also break up the walking. Two hours can feel long if every minute is spent standing outside while someone tells a story. A pub pause gives you a chair, a restroom, and a chance to chat with the people in your group.

The tradeoff is that the bars may become the main event. Some versions of the tour put a lot of attention on drink recommendations, current bar information, and local nightlife. If that sounds good, the format should suit you. If you expect each pub to contain a dramatic supernatural event, keep your expectations in check.

Drinks are not included in the $30 price. That is both a limitation and a useful bit of freedom. You can order something modest, skip alcohol, or choose a drink at each stop based on your budget. Food is also not included.

Colonial Park Cemetery and the Button Gwinnett story

Colonial Park Cemetery is one of the key atmospheric moments on the route. The tour pauses outside the gate while your guide shares stories connected to the burial ground and Savannah’s past.

The cemetery is described as the oldest burial ground in town, and Button Gwinnett is one of its best-known residents. Gwinnett signed the Declaration of Independence, which gives the story a strong historical hook before the ghostly angle begins.

You should understand the limits here. The experience takes you to the cemetery gate, not on a promised walk through the grounds. That can still be effective at night, especially when the guide uses the setting to build a mood, but people hoping to wander among the graves may be disappointed.

You can bring a camera and try to capture orbs or other eerie images. Treat that as a playful extra, not a promised result. The real value of this stop is the setting and the story, not proof of paranormal activity.

The cemetery also shows why this tour is not purely about ghosts. Savannah’s supernatural tales are tied to real people, civic events, old buildings, and burial places. If you enjoy learning the backstory behind a location, the historical material adds value. If you want one ghost tale after another, the balance may feel off.

A walk through squares, bars, and spooky sites

Between the pubs, the guide points out other haunted and unusual places in Savannah’s Historic District. The tour passes through lush city squares and old streets while the guide explains local legends and stories of spirit activity.

That setting is one of the tour’s strongest features. Savannah’s beauty does not switch off at night. The squares, older homes, and pub fronts give the walk a visual backdrop that a lecture in a room cannot provide.

The route also gives you a useful first look at the center of the city. Several people who enjoyed the tour used the information later while walking around Savannah or choosing places to visit the next day. A good guide can help you connect the stories to the streets, then offer practical ideas for the rest of your stay.

Still, the route can feel repetitive if the guide stops for long talks. A few people found the lecture portions dragged, and one person noted that the route seemed to return near Colonial Park Cemetery. That may not bother you if you like detailed storytelling, but it can test your patience if you want constant movement.

The experience is best approached as a walking conversation with scheduled pub breaks. It is not a fast-paced bar crawl, and it is not a haunted house attraction.

Where the ghost content succeeds, and where it falls short

The strongest accounts of this tour describe animated storytelling, a good mix of Savannah history and paranormal material, and guides who make the group feel welcome. Those qualities matter more here than special effects. The tour relies on the person holding the group’s attention.

The best guides use the old streets as a stage. They explain what happened at a place, add a ghost story, and then connect it to the wider story of Savannah. That approach can make the evening more memorable than a list of disconnected hauntings.

The weaker side of the experience is also clear. Some versions have featured too much personal talk, too many jokes, heavy swearing, or long historical lectures. Several people expected more ghost stories and got a general history and pub tour instead.

There are also a few serious complaints about guides appearing intoxicated or behaving unprofessionally. Those reports conflict sharply with the many positive accounts of Pierce, Andre, Kelly, and other guides who were described as funny, prepared, and attentive. Because the guide makes such a difference, this is the main risk to weigh before booking.

I would not book this tour expecting a controlled, polished production every night. I would book it as a casual, social Savannah walk where the quality depends heavily on the evening’s guide and group.

Is $30 a good value?

At $30, the tour is priced reasonably for a two-hour guided walk with up to four pub stops. You are paying for the guide, the route, the storytelling, and the convenience of moving between bars with someone who knows the area.

The price works best if you plan to buy at least one drink and want help finding local places. A self-guided walk through Savannah’s squares costs nothing, but it will not give you a guide, a planned route, or the same steady stream of local stories.

On the other hand, the value drops if you do not care about pubs and want only a cemetery or ghost walk. Since drinks are extra and the cemetery is visited from outside the gate, you should not compare this only with a standard haunted walking tour. It is a combined product: part nightlife, part local history, and part folklore.

For a couple or a group of friends, the format can be an easy first-night activity. You get oriented to the Historic District, learn which bars interest you, and collect ideas for later. For a family group, note the firm minimum age of 21.

What to wear and how to handle the evening

Wear comfortable shoes. The route lasts roughly two hours, and one July account specifically noted that the heat made the walk harder even though the stops were enjoyable.

You should also dress for Savannah’s weather and be ready to spend time outdoors between bars. The tour requires good weather, so poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund. The walk is offered in English.

Bring a phone if you want to take photos at Colonial Park Cemetery or along the route. Keep your expectations sensible about orbs and other eerie images. The camera is part of the fun, not a guarantee of anything supernatural.

Because the tour includes alcohol stops, pace yourself. You control what you order, and no drink is required. The most enjoyable version of the evening is one where you can still follow the guide’s stories at the final stop.

The meeting point is Six Pence Pub at 245 Bull Street. The listed ending is Wright Square, with the tour finishing at another nearby bar or historic square about five minutes from the start. Ask your guide for directions or help arranging transport if needed.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Inside that window, the payment is not refunded, and changes are not accepted. The tour can also be canceled if the minimum number of people is not met.

Who will enjoy this pub crawl most?

I would recommend it to adults who want a relaxed night activity with a social feel. It suits you if you like old-city stories, casual walking, local bars, and a little supernatural flavor without needing every story to be frightening.

It is especially useful for a first visit to Savannah. Guides such as Pierce and Andre have provided advice about food, drinks, and other places to see, so the evening can help shape the rest of your plans.

You may want a different tour if your main goal is serious ghost lore. The experience includes paranormal stories, but the amount can vary. Some evenings may offer a fine mix of hauntings and history, while others may feel more like a pub tour with a few ghost tales added.

It is also not the best fit if you dislike group walking, bar noise, adult language, or guides who spend a long time talking. The maximum group size is 20, and the night depends on everyone keeping up and paying attention.

Should you book the Creepy Crawl?

Book this tour if you want Savannah history with drinks and ghost stories, rather than a pure paranormal investigation. The cemetery setting, old squares, and pub stops give the evening a pleasant local shape, and the $30 price is fair when you value a guide and a planned route.

Skip it if you want guaranteed scares, cemetery access, or a tightly scripted performance. The guide is the deciding factor, and the balance between history, jokes, bar advice, and ghost lore can change.

For most adults planning a first Savannah visit, I would consider it a worthwhile night out with measured expectations. Order what you like, wear good shoes, listen closely at the cemetery gate, and treat the supernatural claims as part of Savannah’s storytelling tradition rather than a promise of evidence.
