Ghost stories pair well with a good drink. This Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl threads Memphis lore through three local haunted bars, with spirit tastings as you go. The only real drawback to plan for is that the tour runs rain or shine, so you’ll want to dress for weather.

You meet your guide at The Broom Closet (35.1323867, -90.0587832), then spend about 150 minutes bouncing between at least three popular spots while you hear scary stories and city legends. It’s a live English tour led by a guide who’s described as a real paranormal investigator, so you can ask questions and get straight answers as the night unfolds.

Key things I’d pencil in before you go

• Three haunted bar stops with spirit tastings so you’re not just listening, you’re sampling
• A paranormal investigator guide who can answer questions about the haunted past and present
• An easier way to navigate Memphis nightlife if you’re new to town
• A clear start point at The Broom Closet in downtown Memphis
• A city-center finish that sets you up to keep the night going

Why a haunted pub crawl works so well in Memphis

Memphis has a way of mixing music, history, and real local character. This tour uses that energy in a smart way: you’re not stuck reading scary facts off a sign. Instead, you’re walking through places tied to ghost stories, then stepping into local bars where the atmosphere feels like it belongs to the tale.

Two things I especially like: first, the paranormal investigator angle. This isn’t just a script read aloud. The guide is positioned to share personal experience and answer questions, which makes the stories feel more grounded. Second, I like that you’re guided through the local bar scene instead of trying to figure it out on your own. Memphis nightlife can be tricky to maneuver if you’re visiting for the first time, and having someone lead you takes the stress out.

One note before you commit: this is built around spirits, and the tour is designed for adults. If you’re under 21 or you’re pregnant, it’s not suitable, so make sure you’ve got the right group before you book.

Meeting at The Broom Closet and getting the timing right

Your tour meeting point is The Broom Closet, at 35.1323867, -90.0587832. If you like starting a night with minimal confusion, that helps. You’re given a real address-like landmark, and that matters when you’re trying to arrive on time and not scramble in the dark.

The tour runs for about 150 minutes. That’s long enough to hit at least three bar stops, hear multiple stories, and still leave you with time afterward if you want to continue your evening. Also, the tour happens rain or shine, so think ahead about layers, shoes, and a jacket you’ll actually wear. This is especially important for a pub crawl style evening where you’re moving from place to place.

Language is English, and the guide is live the whole time. That’s a big deal because haunted stories work best when you can ask follow-up questions and get answers in real time, not later from a website.

Spirits, haunted stops, and what the $27 price really buys

At $27 per person for 150 minutes, this is positioned as good-value entertainment for a specific vibe: ghost stories plus a guided bar route plus spirit tastings at three stops. The price isn’t just paying for walking and storytelling. It’s paying for the structure—someone has mapped the route, kept the pacing moving, and brought you into bars where the guide’s lore fits.

That matters if you’ve ever arrived in a new city and realized you don’t know where to start. Memphis’ bar scene can be a maze. A guided haunted crawl turns that maze into a simple plan: show up, follow the guide, and let the night unfold.

You’ll also get a local guide as part of the included experience. And based on what’s emphasized, you’re tasting local spirits at each haunted bar stop. The exact pour size isn’t specified here, so don’t assume it’s a full dinner replacement. Instead, think of it as tastes that pair with the stories and help keep the tour fun without turning into a heavy drinking session.

If you’re looking for something more social and light than a full-on ghost tour in a dark hallway, this is a solid middle ground: bars, spirits, legends, and a built-in reason to talk with your group.

Three haunted bars: how each stop changes the story

The big promise is straightforward: you’ll visit at least three popular bars tied to Memphis’ haunted past. What makes that more than just a checklist is how the guide uses each location as a chapter. The stories are part of what you’re experiencing, not a separate activity.

Here’s what that usually feels like on the ground:

• The first stop sets the tone. You get oriented to the kind of legends you’ll hear and what the guide wants you to notice.
• The middle stops build momentum. You start connecting names, lore, and locations, and the paranormal investigator’s explanation style becomes the thread.
• The final stop often feels like the payoff—especially because your guide keeps the night moving toward a place where you can keep enjoying yourself after the tour.

One helpful clue from recent experiences is that the last pub visited can be surprisingly good. The vibe at that final location is the kind of place you might not choose on your own, but once you arrive with the group, it makes sense and feels like a smart ending. For practical purposes, that’s a sign the route isn’t random: it’s meant to end somewhere enjoyable, not just somewhere convenient.

The paranormal investigator guide: asking questions and hearing real answers

This tour’s standout feature is the guide described as a real paranormal investigator. That changes the tone. You’re not limited to spooky storytelling for the sake of it. The guide can answer your questions and share personal experience of Memphis’ ghostly past and present.

And that matters because ghost tours go two ways:

1) You mostly listen and don’t engage.

2) You get curious, ask questions, and the story becomes interactive.

This experience is set up for the second option. If you’re the type who likes clarifying details—how something is tied to a place, why a legend repeats, or what the investigator focuses on—you’ll likely get more out of the night.

Also, the tour includes lots of lore and local legends. In one recent booking, the guide was Matt, and he was described as informative and fun. That combo matters. You want knowledge without a lecture vibe, and you want entertainment without nonsense. A guide who can steer that balance tends to make the tour feel like a conversation with a local who happens to love the spooky stuff.

Rain or shine: dressing and pacing for a smooth 150 minutes

Because the tour runs rain or shine, your gear choice is not a small detail. It’s part of the success of the evening. If you’re uncomfortable, you’ll stop paying attention to the stories. So keep it practical: a weather-ready jacket, shoes that won’t punish you on wet pavement, and a bag that can handle a little damp.

Timing-wise, the tour lasts about 150 minutes. That usually means a steady pace: enough time for stories and spirit tastings, but not so slow that you feel stuck waiting. You’ll head off to at least three bars, hear spooky stories along the way, and then end in the city center.

That ending location is another practical win. If you want to keep exploring after your tour ends, ending in the city center helps. It gives you a starting point right where you can decide what to do next instead of relying on guesswork.

Who should book this tour (and who shouldn’t)

This tour is designed for adults who want a guided Memphis night out with a spooky theme. It’s not suitable for:

• Pregnant women
• People under 21

If you’re traveling with friends who like a mix of social time and storytelling, this is a great fit. It’s also ideal for you if you’re new to Memphis and want help finding your way through nightlife. The guide handles navigation and timing, so you spend your energy on the experience rather than on figuring out where to go next.

If you’re hoping for a quiet, museum-style history lesson, this may not be your best match. It’s bar-focused and spirit-focused. Think of it as a lively night with legends, not a solemn lecture.

Should you book this Memphis Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl?

Book it if you want a guided Memphis nightlife plan that comes with spooky lore and three haunted bar stops. At $27 for about 150 minutes, it’s a reasonable way to spend an evening if your goal is fun, conversation, and a local guide who can answer questions.

Skip it if weather conditions would make it unpleasant for you, or if your group includes anyone under 21 or anyone for whom alcohol-based activities aren’t appropriate. Also, if you prefer tours that focus on one specific type of haunted site without mixing in bars and tastings, you might want a different format.

Overall, this is best for people who like a night out with a storyline. You’ll get the structure, you’ll get the stories, and you’ll end up in a city-center spot where continuing the fun is easy.
