Bad Kitty Haunted Savannah Pub Crawl – Spooky, naughty ghosts
Book on Viator →Operated by Mad Cat Tours · Bookable on Viator
Savannah gets a little naughty after dark. The Bad Kitty Haunted Savannah Pub Crawl mixes a classic walking bar tour with ghost stories and a spooky, playful edge that leans more mischievous than scary. I love the way you get multiple bar stops in a tight window, and I love that the guide drives the whole experience with tales that keep you moving. One heads-up: if you want a quiet, kid-friendly ghost walk, the tone can get profane and bold.
This is built for an easy evening in the North Historic District area: you’re out about 1.5 to 2 hours, in a group capped at 20, and you start at Tandem Coffee & Spirits and end near Wright Square. It’s a “walk, sip, listen” format that makes the city feel like part of the story.
Your guide matters. Some guides, like Lori and Nina, get high praise for theatrical storytelling and keeping everyone laughing, while other departures can feel flatter if the guide’s energy dips. Either way, you’ll leave with Savannah in your head and a map of bar locations you’d probably miss on your own.

Key things that make this crawl worth your time

- Four-plus haunted bar stops on foot, so you’re not stuck waiting in one place
- Spooky stories tied to love, trouble, and regret, delivered like street theater
- Small-group feel (max 20) that helps the guide keep the energy going
- Guide-led comedy and character, with standout names like Lori, Sarah, Nina, and Megan
- An end point near Wright Square, easy to continue the night on your own
A Naughty Mix of Happy Hour and Ghost Stories

This is not a hushed séance. The Bad Kitty vibe is about mixing the Savannah nightlife rhythm with ghost stories that are funny first, spooky second, and naughty in a way that feels like it belongs in a bar. The tour highlights love gone horribly wrong, and you’ll get a toast to ghosts tied to those doomed romances—think melodrama, not medical-grade horror.
I like this format because it solves two problems at once. First, Savannah is great to walk, but it’s easy to lose the thread of what you’re seeing. Second, a bar crawl can feel like noise with a side of Instagram. Here, the guide’s storytelling gives the walking part a purpose, and the bar stops keep it social instead of lecture-y.
The tone is also where you’ll want to self-select. If you’re the type who wants spooky history with zero swearing, you may feel out of place. But if you’re down for ghost tales with theatrical flair, you’ll likely have a memorable night.

From Tandem Coffee & Spirits to Wright Square: The Route in Real Terms
You’ll meet at Tandem Coffee & Spirits, 225 E Bay St, Savannah, GA 31401. The start location is easy to find on foot and puts you in the thick of the historic downtown grid, which matters because the crawl depends on short walking stretches between stops.
The tour ends near Wright Square, a central landmark that’s handy for two reasons. One, you’re not stranded far out in the dark after you’re done sipping and strolling. Two, it’s a natural jumping-off point if you want to grab late food or keep exploring on your own.
The walk is described as straightforward in tone and pace, and people specifically call out wearing sneakers. That’s good advice here: even if the route is “easy,” you’ll be moving for about two hours, and Savannah sidewalks can be uneven or busy.
Four+ Haunted Bars in About Two Hours

The crawl visits at least 4 fun, haunted bars. That’s the sweet spot: enough stops that it feels like a true bar crawl, but not so many that you spend the whole night just walking between half-drinks.
What makes the multi-stop setup valuable is pacing. Instead of hearing a story for ten minutes and then standing around, you’ll usually get the story, then you move. That keeps your attention and makes the bars feel connected, not random.
A detail that stands out in the vibe: you’re raising toasts to the ghosts and the stories, so the drinking is part of the experience, not an afterthought. You may still find yourself taking a slower sip when the guide is in full performance mode, but the structure helps you stay engaged.
One more practical note: if someone in your group doesn’t drink, the tour can still work because a big chunk of the fun is the walking route and the narrative. In at least one case, a non-drinking friend ended up enjoying it, which suggests the focus isn’t only alcohol—though the stops do revolve around bar settings.
What the Guides Do Differently: Lori, Sarah, Nina, and Megan

This is a storytelling-first tour, and the reviews make it clear that guide talent is a major driver of the experience. Names you’ll hear often include Lori, Sarah, Nina, and Megan.
Lori gets repeated praise for being hilarious, theatrical, and a top-notch storyteller who can make each bar feel like a stage. Megan is also highlighted for strong storytelling and adapting well to the group. Nina earns praise for feeling safe and for lively, humorous delivery. Sarah shows up as an engaging storyteller in some departures as well, but one mentioned a flatter, lower-energy feeling and confusion in the pacing of the talk.
So here’s the realistic takeaway for you: you’re choosing a personality-powered experience. If your guide clicks, it becomes a laugh-filled, spooky evening. If your guide’s energy is off, the framework still exists (four-plus bar stops and ghost tales), but the comedy spark may be lower.
If you like tours where the guide is the show, you’ll probably love the results.
The Ghost Stories: Love Gone Wrong Meets Savannah Lore

The tour’s ghost theme is centered on romantic tragedy—love endings that go sideways in unexpected ways. That focus is surprisingly good for a pub crawl, because it’s simple to follow while you’re walking and holding a drink.
You’ll hear stories designed for a group setting: dramatic, a little naughty, and built around memorable images. One person even mentioned having a strange photographic moment near a historic bar gate during the evening, which hints at why this kind of tour works in Savannah. The city offers plenty of old-door, ironwork, and dim-light backdrops that make even regular streets feel like the set of something spooky.
Also, Savannah has its own mix of folklore and dark-leaning legends, and the tour taps into that mood. In one review, the phrase vodka and voodoo shows up, which tells you the atmosphere can tilt toward playful spooky folklore rather than purely “scientific” haunting facts.
If you want jump scares and gore, this likely won’t be your thing. If you want stories you can laugh at while still feeling the old-city chill, you’re in the right place.
Drinks, Timing, and Staying Comfortable While You Walk

The itinerary is about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, so the night is short enough that you don’t feel trapped. You also get multiple drinking opportunities across stops, which means you can match your pace to your tolerance.
Still, I’d treat it like a walking event first and a drink event second. You’re going to be on your feet, and you’ll want to enjoy the stories without being wiped out by the second or third cocktail.
Here’s my practical advice for comfort:
- Wear sneakers and plan for a couple of small climbs or uneven bits of sidewalk
- Pace your first drink so you can fully hear the guide during the most animated stops
- Bring your phone for photos, because the dim historic bar interiors and street details can be very photogenic
People also mention a good walking pace—nothing that feels like a marathon. That matters because it keeps the tour from turning into a “catch up” situation.
Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Prefer Something Else)

The title Bad Kitty isn’t subtle. Even so, the experience isn’t limited to one type of group. It’s repeatedly described as a great fit for bachelorette-style groups and groups of females, with at least one couple noting a male in the party didn’t feel uncomfortable. That suggests the tour’s humor is playful and social rather than hostile, even if it’s adult-leaning.
This is a good choice if you want:
- Spooky entertainment without a long sit-down lecture
- A fun way to see bars you might not find on your own
- A guide who does more than list facts
It might not be ideal if you want:
- A strictly family-friendly experience
- A super quiet, reflective ghost tour where you can just listen without any naughty humor
If your group is mixed, this kind of tour can still work. Just set expectations beforehand: it’s a bar crawl with ghost stories and humor that can get a bit naughty.
Value and Group Discounts: Why People Keep Coming Back

There’s no single number in what you shared, but the pattern in the feedback is clear: people like the value because you’re getting a lot packed into a short time. You’re paying for three things at once:
1) guided storytelling
2) multiple bar stops
3) a route that covers ground efficiently in about two hours
Group discounts are part of the offering too, which is a real benefit when you’re splitting costs with friends. Also, with a maximum of 20 participants, you’re more likely to get a guided feel than a crowded “everyone follow the leader” vibe.
If you’re on a trip where you want one memorable night that combines history mood, nightlife, and an actual narrative, this tends to hit that mark.
Practical Tips Before You Book
Here are the details that matter most for a smooth start and a better night out.
Know the meeting point. You’ll start at Tandem Coffee & Spirits on E Bay Street. If you arrive early, use the time to get your bearings—Savannah’s downtown grid is walkable, but it’s also easy to zigzag.
Plan for a short walk. The tour is only around 1.5 to 2 hours, so don’t build a fragile schedule around it. Give yourself a buffer afterward, especially if you want dinner or karaoke nearby.
Bring a sense of humor. This one’s adult-leaning, and that’s part of the appeal for many people. If you prefer clean, PG storytelling, you’ll likely feel boxed out by the style.
Pick the right night for your group. It’s offered in English, and the company structure keeps groups fairly small. That generally helps the guide manage the story flow.
If you’re bringing a group member who doesn’t drink, go in with the right expectations. The tour’s focus is on storytelling and the bar atmosphere, but the stops are still bars, so comfort levels vary.
Should You Book the Bad Kitty Haunted Savannah Pub Crawl?
If you want a night that feels like Savannah theater—walking, sipping, laughing, and hearing spooky tales—then this crawl is a strong pick. The biggest plus is the format: four-plus haunted bars in about two hours with a guide who turns the evening into a story.
I’d book it especially if:
- Your group likes ghost stories with humor
- You want an organized way to hit North Historic District-style nightlife
- You’re traveling with people who enjoy a social, slightly naughty vibe
I’d skip or choose carefully if:
- You need a quiet, family-friendly ghost experience
- Your group is sensitive to swearing or adult humor
- You’re expecting traditional haunted-house style scares
If you match the vibe, Bad Kitty can be one of those “we’ll talk about this later” Savannah nights. And if you don’t, it’s still a useful way to explore the downtown bar scene with a clear structure and a guide who’s built this show for walking and laughing.
