Old Savannah gets a spooky after-hours twist. This all-drinks-included crawl pairs local history with haunted lore on a guided walk, so you’re not just hopping bars—you’re learning as you go. I especially like the built-in drink choices (beer, champagne, or cocktail at each stop) and that you finish with a satisfying, well-paced arc of three different bar styles. One thing to keep in mind: it’s a compact 2 hours, so if you’re hoping for long hangs at each bar, you’ll want to go in ready to move.

You’ll start downtown at the Georgia Tasting Room (306 W Saint Julian Street) and end at Chippewa Square, which is handy for dinner plans after. The biggest practical consideration is timing: a few people find the drink stops move quickly, and you may not finish at the exact table—though the workaround is simple, you can take your drinks to go while you continue the walk. Overall, at $60 for three included drinks plus a guided history/haunts theme, it can be strong value if you want a structured night with minimal decision-making.

  • Downtown route: starts near Saint Julian Street and ends at Chippewa Square

A Two-Hour Savannah Walk With Three All-In Drinks

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - A Two-Hour Savannah Walk With Three All-In Drinks
Savannah’s bar scene can be fun, but it can also turn into a guessing game: where to go, what to order, and whether you’ll feel like you spent the whole night standing around. This crawl flips that. For about two hours, you get a guided walking route plus three included drink stops, with a choice at each stop between beer, champagne, or cocktail.

At $60, the value depends on how you like to drink. If you were planning to spend roughly $15–$25 per stop anyway, the math starts making sense fast—especially because the drinks are built into the ticket rather than added at the bar. It also helps that you get variety: not just three versions of the same thing, but different bar atmospheres and different drink styles that match the theme.

And then there’s the other half of the pitch: the haunted-history part. This is not a pure ghost tour where the “drinks” are an afterthought. The story tone is aimed at being spooky-fun, tied into the city’s background, so you can keep learning without feeling like you’re stuck in a lecture.

Starting at Georgia Tasting Room and Ending at Chippewa Square

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Starting at Georgia Tasting Room and Ending at Chippewa Square
The route is built for easy navigation. You meet at Georgia Tasting Room, 306 W Saint Julian Street, and the tour ends at Chippewa Square. That matters more than it sounds. Chippewa Square is a classic Savannah anchor point, so after the last drink stop you’re not wandering back into the unknown—you’re basically back in the center of town where dinner, dessert, and more strolling are straightforward.

This is also a walking tour, so it’s smart to wear shoes you can stand in for a couple hours. Savannah’s sidewalks are workable, but you’ll be moving between bars with story stops and quick transitions. If you prefer a low-effort night, this is still fairly “active,” just not marathon-style.

Finally, this runs with a maximum of 25 travelers, which is a big deal for a pub crawl. Smaller groups tend to stay on schedule and keep the guide from feeling like they’re herding a crowd. For a city that can get packed, that’s a real practical quality.

Stop One: Speakeasy Energy and Your First Included Drink

Your first stop leans into a secret-spots vibe, the kind of place you could easily miss if you were only walking around on your own. The theme here is hidden and historical, with a guided lesson that mixes Savannah’s past with spooky storytelling.

Most importantly for your night: you’re not locked into one drink type. At this stop, you can choose a beer, champagne, or cocktail, and the goal is to keep things fun rather than complicated. This first bar sets the tone—so I’d treat it as your moment to order something you’ll actually enjoy, not something you choose just to match the theme. If champagne isn’t your thing, go cocktail. If cocktails aren’t your thing, go beer. The tour is designed so you’re not stuck.

One note from how the night seems to flow: the first stop often feels like a highlight for many people, and that’s usually because you get energized early. If you like beginning with a win—good drink, good stories, good atmosphere—this start helps.

Stop Two: A Classy Champagne Bar With History in the Middle

The second stop shifts the vibe. Instead of the darker, secretive mood, you move into something more classy and champagne-forward. This is where the crawl’s “haunts and hops” balance gets really obvious: the tour keeps moving, but you’re switching bar identities, which prevents the night from feeling repetitive.

Again, you get a choice at the bar—beer, champagne, or cocktail—so the “champagne bar” part doesn’t mean you have to drink champagne. It just means the setting and flavor direction of the stop match the theme.

This middle stop is also where you’ll likely feel the cadence of the tour. Two hours is not a lot of time for three bars plus walking plus story beats, so you may find you’re standing and listening a bit before or during ordering. That’s normal for a guided format. If you’re the type who needs long pauses to decompress, just plan to take your time in the last stretch of your night after the tour ends.

Stop Three: Wine and Moonshine Slushy Bar Finish

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Stop Three: Wine and Moonshine Slushy Bar Finish
The final stop is where the tour gets memorable. You end at a wine/moonshine slushy bar, which is a fun pivot away from the usual pub crawl pattern. A slushy bar is not what most people picture in Savannah, and that novelty is part of why the ending tends to land well.

You’ll still have choices in what you order, and the setting here is playful. If you like sweet, chilled drinks, this stop is built for you. If you prefer something more straightforward, you can usually find a path that fits your tastes, but the slushy concept is clearly the star.

Also, because it’s the last stop, you’ll want to go a little lighter on the planning for right after. This is the point where you’ve got a drink in hand and can do a final round of photos, short conversation, and a bit of lingering—then step into Chippewa Square when you’re ready to switch from tour mode to explore mode.

Here's some more things to do in Savannah

The History and Haunts Tone: Spooky-Fun, Not Fear-First

Savannah’s ghost stories can go two ways: either you get a campy performance with little connection to the city, or you get heavy gloom that makes the night feel tense. This tour is trying to sit in the middle. The stories are tied to the city’s past, but they stay light enough that most people can enjoy them without feeling like the walk is a horror show.

A theme you’ll notice with guides mentioned by name—Addison, Chris, and Austin—is that they tend to keep the night relaxed. People specifically highlight that the guide doesn’t rush the experience and that the stories feel like they’re woven into the walk, not bolted on at the last second. If you like history with a sense of humor, that’s a good sign.

And if you worry that ghost tours are too scary for your group, you’re in the right neighborhood. This format is described as not too scary, with a playful spooky vibe.

What You’ll Love Most: Drink Variety, Pacing, and “No Guesswork”

The most praised parts of the crawl are pretty clear: people love the combination of history + haunt stories and the fact that the drinks are included and varied. The variety is not just marketing—it shows up in the way you rotate between different bar types across the night.

Here’s why that matters for you:

  • Less decision fatigue. You’re not spending the night debating where to go or what to order.
  • A smoother night. Three planned stops beat an unplanned crawl that turns into dead ends.
  • A theme you can feel. The speakeasy-to-champagne-to-slushy sequence creates a real arc, not just random bar hopping.

Pacing is the other big piece. Many people say the stops feel well timed and spaced, and that the tour keeps a good flow. Still, one caution shows up sometimes: because the total time is short, you might feel like you’re waiting for the next place while your current drink is still in front of you—or that you can’t fully finish before moving on.

If that’s your worry, don’t panic. The practical workaround is built into the reality of a walking crawl: you can take your drink with you and keep the night going while you listen to the stories and get to the next stop.

Price and Value: When $60 Feels Like a Win

History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl - Price and Value: When $60 Feels Like a Win
Let’s talk money with a straight face. $60 for a 2-hour walking pub crawl sounds either like a steal or like a rip-off depending on what you’d do otherwise.

This price feels most fair if:

  • You were already planning to visit multiple bars downtown
  • You like craft beer or cocktails (and champagne if you want it)
  • You prefer a guided route so you don’t waste time figuring things out

It feels less fair if:

  • You want long, slow bar time (this is a compact crawl)
  • You don’t drink much beyond one or two sips
  • You hate moving around while you’re still settling in

But the big value anchor is the all-in structure: three included drinks at three stops. That turns the evening into a predictable spend. Even if one of the drinks isn’t your exact favorite, the total package still gives you enough variety to make it worth it—especially because the stops themselves are different, not just three counters with the same menu.

If you’re looking to save a bit, there’s also mention of promo code SNS10 for extra savings, so it’s worth checking if it’s active when you book.

Who This Pub Crawl Suits Best (and Who Should Rethink It)

This crawl is a good fit for:

  • First-timers in Savannah who want an organized “see it, learn it, drink it” night
  • Friends groups who want history stories without turning the evening into a sit-down museum moment
  • People who like a small-town vibe in a walking format, with a cap of 25

It may not be ideal if:

  • You’re someone who needs a slow, stay-at-the-bar kind of experience
  • You’re bringing a group that will demand special handling at each stop
  • You’re easily thrown off by weather and want zero outdoor walking time (good weather is required)

Weather does matter in Savannah. The tour is said to require good weather, and if severe conditions make walking unsafe, the experience may be canceled with a different date or a full refund offered. Translation: don’t plan this as your one single non-negotiable thing in your schedule.

Also, note that you can end up with bachelorette-style groups mixed in. That’s not a dealbreaker for everyone, but if you’re hoping for a very calm, romantic atmosphere the whole time, you might want to keep that in mind.

Should You Book History, Haunts and Hops?

If you want a Savannah night that feels both social and purposeful, I think this is a solid pick. Three included drinks, a real walking route, and ghost-history stories that stay light enough to enjoy make it an easy “yes” for people who like guided fun and don’t want to overthink bar decisions.

Book it if you:

  • Want value that’s built into the ticket price
  • Prefer a structured route over random bar-hopping
  • Like history with a spooky twist

Consider alternatives if you:

  • Want long stays at bars
  • Don’t like moving around during your drink time
  • Need guaranteed quiet or private group dynamics

If you’re the kind of traveler who likes a plan that still leaves room for wandering after, you’ll likely have a great time ending at Chippewa Square with more of Savannah waiting right outside the door.
