Haunted Pub Crawls & Bar Tours In Savannah, GA

Factors walk alleyway at night, Savannah, GA.

Many of Savannah’s old buildings lay claim to a haunted history, and so too do many of its drinking establishments. Some of them have ties to the city’s history as a port, with pirates and sailors and abandoned lovers; others have acquired their alleged ghosts via the hangings, feuds and tragedies of civilian life.

A good number of Savannah’s pubs and bars advertise their supernatural spirits online, but if you are looking for a more engaging experience, a haunted crawl can be a fun way to combine trying some of the city’s drinking spots with a bit of haunted history.

Savannah also offers a large variety of walking ghost tours that explore the city’s paranormal history in a non-alcohol-centric way. The two types of tour offer different things: if you want to visit a few of Savannah’s pubs and bars and meet new people, hearing a few ghost stories along the way, you might enjoy a haunted crawl.

If, on the other hand, you mostly want ghost stories, and are considering a haunted crawl because you want a drink in your hand while you hear them, you may prefer one of the several normal ghost tours that allow or encourage the consumption of alcohol: on pub and bar tours, a good proportion of the tour time will be spent obtaining drinks, which for a larger group can take quite a while.

Please note that you need to be 21 or over to take most of the following tours, and that drinks are not included in the tour price. ID is always required in Savannah if you are purchasing alcohol, and as the city allows public drinking from small containers downtown, you can take drinks with you between tour stops.

Savannah’s Haunted Pubs & Bars

Malevolent Spirits

1790 Inn – Kissie, who frequents this establishment’s kitchens, is said to be among the most vicious ghosts to haunt Savannah, but far more famous is Anna, a young woman who, jilted by her lover, took her own life in a jump from a third-story balcony. Since then, Anna has occupied herself by rocking chairs, opening windows and walking up and down the old inn’s corridors.

Moon River Brewing Company – A ghost is reputed to have pushed a woman down the stairs in the upper part of this building, with other ghostly happenings including items flying off shelves and sightings of shadowy figures.

Apparitions

Churchill’s Gastropub – Next door to the Moon River Brewing Company are more reports of hauntings: some people claim to have seen the silhouette of a figure hanging from the ceiling beams, said to be the ghost of man who long ago took his life here.

The Pirates’ House – One of Savannah’s oldest buildings, the Pirates’ House, on the very eastern edge of the Historic District, is said to be haunted by the spirits of kidnapped sailors, taken drunk and incapacitated from the bar and waking up as forced laborers many miles from shore.

The Olde Pink House – Another of Savannah’s oldest buildings, the Olde Pink House was built by James Habersham in the late 18th century. It is said to be haunted by the ghost of his son, James Habersham Jr. Other ghostly figures have been seen here too, including a crying woman and young children of the house’s slaves.

Presences

The Shrimp Factory – This restaurant, located in a former warehouse building, is believed to be home to a ghost, nicknamed “Joe,” of whom little is known besides his penchant for rum. Reportedly, when the supply of rum in the liquor storage room is allowed to run out, Joe (who is usually experienced mostly as a sense of cold or a presence), breaks the empty bottles in displeasure.

Tondee’s Tavern – Another lightly haunted establishment, with occasional reports of an eerie presence and surveillance footage of mysterious lights.

B&D Burgers (West Congress Street) – In addition to unexplained lights on surveillance videos, there have been reports of eerie voices and scents, and objects pushed over by an unseen force.

B Matthews Eatery – Said to be located near the head of old tunnels leading from the river, ghostly encounters at this restaurant include moved tools, thrown objects and the sense of an invisible presence.
