Savannah at night gets oddly personal.

This 105-minute haunted pub crawl in Georgia is led by Captain Stoner Joe, a Savannah-born guide who leans on a lifetime of nightlife and ghost lore, not a polished script. You’re not just hearing spooky lines—you’re walking the city where old stories still seem to have roommates.

Two things I really like: you hit famous spots like 17 Hundred 90 Inn and you also get ghost stories tied to specific places, like the American Revolution haunting at Colonial Park Cemetery. I also like the pacing math: 4–5 bars with 8–12 ghostly tales, so it never turns into a rush-and-repeat slideshow. One drawback to plan around is that drinks aren’t included, and it’s not suitable for people with mobility impairments or for kids under 18.

Key things to know before you go

• Captain Stoner Joe leads the show with Savannah-born credibility and a lifetime of local ghost research
• 4–5 bar stops in 105 minutes gives you time for stories without dragging too long
• You get 8–12 ghost tales tied to real locations like Abe’s on Lincoln and Colonial Park Cemetery
• Drinks cost extra since the tour includes access, not alcohol
• Weekend max 30 people keeps the group from feeling like a moving crowd
• Bachelorette parties may get a bonus at the last bar, including a free champagne bottle

Captain Stoner Joe: why this haunted bar crawl feels like a local night out

Savannah loves its legends, but most “haunted” tours sound the same after stop two. What makes this one work is the energy of the guide and the way the stories connect to the city’s nightlife. Captain Stoner Joe isn’t just reciting history; he’s framed the whole evening as Savannah’s supernatural after-hours chatter, the kind locals actually talk about.

The tour is also built around an unscripted, immersive feel. You’ll notice it in how the guide talks to the group, how often the story returns to the exact room or street corner you’re standing in, and how the pace leaves space for the next tale to land. I like that it doesn’t try to be “the scariest thing ever.” It’s more fun than that.

One more detail I appreciate: the experience is designed for adults. You can lean into the late-night vibe, and it’s easier to enjoy the humor and theater without worrying about keeping it “kid-friendly.”

Route overview: how 105 minutes turns into 4–5 real bar stops

This is a short, focused night out: about 105 minutes total. The structure is simple—walk between places, stop for a story, then move on—yet it’s paced so you don’t feel like you’re trapped in a slow line.

You’ll typically visit 4–5 bars during the crawl. That’s a sweet spot for a haunted pub tour because you can actually remember what each place is known for. You also get 8–12 ghostly tales, which means the storytelling isn’t spread so thin that it becomes background noise.

Here’s how the stop sequence matters for the experience:

• Early stops set the tone, with storied establishments where the supernatural lore fits naturally into the setting.
• Middle stops add historical weight, especially when you shift from bar interiors to something like a cemetery.
• Later stops keep the energy up, with spirits and nightlife-themed hauntings.

Where you meet at Kid’s Payground by Colonial Park Cemetery

Meeting point matters for tours like this, because you want the night to start with zero confusion. You’ll meet at Kid’s Payground at Davant Park, located behind Colonial Park Cemetery.

Starting behind a cemetery is a smart move. It puts you in “Savannah at night” mode right away, and it also means you’re not wasting time getting to the first serious storytelling stop. You’ll already be in the right mental frame before the bars even come into the picture.

Practical tip: wear real shoes. Even though it’s not long walking, the tour moves through Savannah at evening pace, and you’ll want to stay comfortable for the full 105 minutes.

17 Hundred 90 Inn: the kind of haunting that feels playful

One of the marquee stops is 17 Hundred 90 Inn, a location that gives “old building” vibes without needing jump-scares. The haunting story tied to this place includes Anna Powell’s spirit, described as playfully stealing clothes and ripping sheets off guests.

That detail is useful for what you’re actually getting. Some haunted tours lean heavy on fear. This one includes stories with personality. It’s the difference between being terrified and being entertained by the idea that the building has a sense of humor.

The advantage here is tone control. If you’re with friends who don’t all want maximum scare energy, a “mischief” haunting is an easier sell. It also makes for better photos and easier conversation afterward, because you remember the story clearly instead of only feeling unsettled.

Colonial Park Cemetery: American Revolution ghosts with real names

After the bar-style stops, the tour shifts into something darker and more grounded. At Colonial Park Cemetery, you’ll hear ghost stories tied to the American Revolution, including the specter of Renee Asch Randolier from the 1780s.

This stop gives the tour its historical spine—without turning into a lecture. You’re not just hearing “there are ghosts.” You’re hearing which era, which person, and which lingering story. That’s what makes it feel believable in Savannah, where the past isn’t sealed away in museums.

Why this cemetery moment matters: it balances the night. The bar stops are about atmosphere and nightlife lore. The cemetery stop adds weight, so the later stories don’t feel like random spooky content.

Abe’s on Lincoln: spirits stocked, bartender ghost on the job

Next, you head to Abe’s on Lincoln—and the ghost story here is bar-specific, which is exactly what you want on a pub crawl. The tale involves a murdered bartender’s ghost who keeps the spirits stocked.

Even if you’re not buying the supernatural, you can still enjoy why the story fits: bars are practical spaces. Drinks have to appear, service has to happen, and the idea of a ghost doing the job is funny because it mirrors how real bars operate.

This is also a strong “energy” stop. It’s the kind of place where you can dance with the haunting vibe—less about shaking in your boots, more about treating the night like a living legend tour. If you want your group to feel like they’re having fun, this is a good middle-to-late anchor.

The Marshall House: dreams, prank calls, and the dark side of hospitality

The tour includes a stop connected to The Marshall House, where the lore describes an incubus that terrorizes dreams and makes prank calls to unsuspecting people.

This is where the crawl leans more intense. It shifts from the more playful bar hauntings into something that feels like it lives in the private spaces of your mind. And because it’s tied to a specific kind of behavior—dream terror and prank calls—it’s easier to picture than vague “evil presence” stories.

The practical takeaway: this stop may set off the most vivid imaginations in your group. If you’re traveling with friends who love spooky storytelling but don’t want anything too graphic, you can still enjoy it as folklore. The tone stays within the tour’s entertainment frame.

Drink specials and the last stop factor: plan for alcohol costs

The tour includes access to the establishments, but drinks are not included. That means you should expect to spend extra if you want to participate beyond whatever non-alcohol options the venues offer.

That said, the end of the crawl comes with a nice perk: at the last bar, you’ll find drink specials. There’s also a specific bonus mentioned for bachelorette parties: a free champagne bottle.

How to use this info: if you’re trying to control your budget, consider setting expectations early. Decide whether you’re doing one drink per stop or just going for one “real” purchase at the end where the specials are. Either way, it helps you enjoy the night without the surprise of tallying up at the end.

Group size and storytelling pace: 30 people max on weekends

On weekends, the tour has a maximum of 30 people. For a walking bar crawl with multiple stops, that size matters. Too many people and the stories become something you half-hear over footsteps. With 30, you’re more likely to feel like part of the group and not just an audience.

The pacing is also built around 8–12 ghost tales. That’s a comfortable amount for a 105-minute experience, because you can remember distinct stories tied to distinct places. It also keeps variety high: you don’t get stuck in one flavor of haunting all night.

I’d also plan your expectations around weather. The experience runs evenings and can be cold in winter, especially if you hit the longer outdoor stretches around Savannah’s squares and passageways. If it’s chilly, bring layers. The comfort you add will help you stay present for the stories instead of rushing to warm up.

Value for $33: what you’re really paying for

At $33 per person, the tour price is mainly about two things: access and a guide who strings the places together into one coherent night. You’re not just walking into a random bar; you’re getting a structured route that includes storied locations like 17 Hundred 90 Inn, Colonial Park Cemetery, Abe’s on Lincoln, and more.

Because drinks aren’t included, you should think of the $33 as the cost of the experience itself—entry and guided storytelling. If you’re the type who likes to have at least one or two drinks, your total spend will rise, but you’re also getting the added value of a night with built-in entertainment and context.

Is it worth it? For me, it’s a good value if:

• you want Savannah at night with a plan
• you enjoy ghost stories tied to specific places
• you don’t want a long tour that eats an entire evening

If you’re hoping for alcohol included or “no walking, total comfort,” then the structure won’t match your expectations.

Who this haunted pub crawl fits best

This tour is for adults who like history-flavored stories and nighttime atmosphere. It’s also a good match if you enjoy guides who can tell a story without turning it into a lecture.

You should consider skipping it if:

• you need mobility-friendly accessibility (it’s not suitable for mobility impairments)
• you’re traveling with children (it’s not suitable for anyone under 18)
• you want alcohol packaged into the price (drinks are not included)

If your group is mixed—some into spooky, some into Savannah vibe—this works because the tone shifts across stops. You’ll get playful mischief stories, cemetery-era hauntings, and bar-focused folklore. That variety keeps the night from getting stale.

Should you book Captain Stoner’s Haunted Dive Bar Crawl?

If you’re deciding today, I’d book if you want a short Savannah night with clear stops, a strong guide, and ghost stories that tie to real addresses and named locations. Captain Stoner Joe is the selling point: a Savannah-born storyteller who treats the crawl like local nightlife lore, not a canned script.

I wouldn’t book if your main goal is heavy drinking on a budget. Since drinks aren’t included, plan a drink allowance or expect to spend more on alcohol than you initially figured.

Bottom line: for $33, you’re buying a guided route through a handful of memorable Savannah stops, plus 8–12 ghostly tales in about 105 minutes. That’s a smart use of time if you want a different kind of Savannah evening.
