Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl
Book on Viator →Operated by The Witching Hour Paranormal Ghost Tour · Bookable on Viator
Savannah’s cocktails meet the paranormal. This 2-hour 5-minute night walk links a few classic drinking stops in the Historic District with ghost stories that land as fun, educational rather than scary-for-scary’s-sake. One thing to keep in mind: you’ll be paying for what you order at the bars since admission tickets aren’t included, so bring a plan (and a little extra cash).
You start at 100 Bull St at Flip Flop Shops at 8:30 pm, then the guide keeps the group moving for most of the time. This is run by The Witching Hour Paranormal Ghost Tour, capped at a maximum of 30 people, which helps you feel part of the group without turning it into a traffic jam.

A Savannah nighttime crawl that actually keeps moving
If you like the idea of a ghost tour but don’t want a lecture hall vibe, this pub crawl is built for motion. You’re out in the evening, walking a set route, and getting stories as you go—so the time feels purposeful instead of waiting. And because it’s anchored by real bars, the whole evening naturally breaks into small moments: arrive, listen, sip, move on.
The best part is the way the stories are delivered. Guides like Sarah Anne and Austin are singled out for telling Savannah’s spooky material with humor that still feels educational. You’re not just hearing spooky words—you’re getting context for why these places are remembered.
The trade-off? It’s still a guided walk. If you’re sensitive to evening walking or you hate being on your feet for stretches, you may want to think twice.

Where you meet: Flip Flop Shops at 100 Bull St

Your starting point is Flip Flop Shops at 100 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401. Stop 1 is short—about 5 minutes—so it’s basically a quick meet-up and setup before you head into the Historic District.
This matters more than it sounds. A lot of pub crawls start late, shuffle paperwork, and waste time. Here, the first moment is about getting everyone grouped together fast so you can start the walk while it’s still early enough to enjoy the night.
Practical note: this is the kind of tour where arriving a few minutes early helps. You’ll be ready to step into the first storytelling portion without feeling rushed.
The two-hour Historic District walk: how the tour really feels

After the quick start, you’ll spend about 2 hours in the Historic District with your guide. The route is designed around bar stops and “haunted locations,” with the guide steering the story while you wander.
The pacing is simple: you’re walking, listening, and moving to the next stop. One review calls it simple walking, and that matches what this format is meant to do—no complicated “tour-only” activities that require extra time, gear, or coordination.
What makes this approach valuable is how it keeps you oriented. In Savannah’s historic core, it’s easy to get turned around on your own. With a guide leading you from place to place, you get the layout and the atmosphere in a tight time window.
The bar stops that anchor the evening (and your drink choices)
The tour is built around specific drinking locations, which is great because you’re not guessing where to go next. The bars listed on the route include:
- Savannah Taphouse
- Abe’s on Lincoln
- 17hundred90
- McDonoughs
You also get cocktail options at the tire bars you stop at, which (in plain terms) means the night is structured around drink ordering, not just passing time.
Here’s the practical takeaway: you should treat this as a guided route plus storytelling, not a drink-included package. Admission tickets aren’t included, so plan to pay for your cocktails (and any food) directly at the bars.
If you’re the type who likes to taste a couple things, this setup is ideal. You get a chance to change drinks without spending the whole night researching menus.
Ghost stories with humor: what to look for from your guide
The “conjuring” part is the storytelling. The guides are praised for being able to pack a lot into the short time by mixing humor with history and haunted locations. Sarah Anne is specifically noted for telling ghost stories in a way that’s both humorous and educational, and Austin also gets credit for Savannah history and keeping the momentum up.
What you should take from that: this isn’t just random spooky facts. The tour’s value is the narration style—snappy, story-driven, and pointed toward what you’re standing in front of. If you enjoy chatty guides who can turn a short walk into a mini story session, you’ll likely have a great time.
If you’re expecting long, intense paranormal investigation details, you might find it lighter than that. This is a pub crawl format, so the goal is entertainment plus context while you’re in motion.
Duration and pacing: 2 hours 5 minutes of nightwalking
The experience runs about 2 hours 5 minutes total, with the stop-and-start structure keeping things moving. Start at 8:30 pm, meet at Flip Flop Shops, spend about 2 hours in the Historic District, then return to the starting point.
This timing is good for Savannah. Late evening is when the mood feels right—especially for ghost stories. You also dodge the long dinner slog by wrapping the evening’s main activities into one tidy block.
One small consideration: because it’s a walking tour at night, it helps to wear comfortable shoes. The route is on foot, and you’ll be spending enough time moving that discomfort will start to matter.
Money and expectations: what to budget for cocktails
Since admission tickets aren’t included, the main spending is what you order at the bars. Reviews mention that you have a choice of cocktails at the bars you stop at, which is the fun part—just remember it’s still pay-as-you-go.
So I suggest budgeting like this:
- Set aside money for at least one cocktail per stop (or fewer, depending on your pace)
- Consider water between drinks if you’re doing multiple cocktails
- If you plan to eat, keep it simple and go easy early, because your stomach may not love a full night of food plus alcohol
There’s a real-world lesson from a less-positive score: if someone in your group becomes ill after eating from another place of business, it can end the trip early. That’s not something your guide can control, but it’s a reminder to make food choices that agree with you—especially on a night where your activity is walking and timing matters.
Group size, transport, and who this works for
The group is capped at 30 travelers. That’s a sweet spot for this kind of tour: big enough that you won’t feel awkward, small enough that the guide can keep attention and keep everyone moving.
It also runs in English and is set up for most travelers. Service animals are allowed, and it’s near public transportation. If you’re arriving without a car, that’s a big plus—Savannah is easiest when you’re not fighting parking and traffic.
Who will enjoy it most:
- People who want haunted Savannah stories but prefer a social, bar-focused format
- Couples or friend groups who like night walks and casual history
- Travelers who want structure without spending hours planning a route
Who may want a different option:
- Anyone who wants a fully drink-included, all-costs-covered evening
- People who hate walking at night or are sensitive to crowds and late-evening movement
Weather matters more than you think
This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. Since it’s mostly an evening walk, bad conditions can turn “enjoyable strolling” into “why did I come out?”
Also, if you’re booking for a specific night, keep an eye on forecasts and plan a backup mood. In Savannah, the difference between a good night and a wet night can be huge.
Quick booking considerations (no drama)
Confirmation is received at booking, and cancellation is free if you cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. If you cancel later than that window, the amount you paid isn’t refunded.
If you’re flexible and you don’t want risk, booking is reasonable. If you’re traveling during a period where weather changes quickly, build in that buffer so you’re not stuck with a non-refundable plan.
Should you book Conjuring Cocktails Pub Crawl?
I’d book this if you want a guided Savannah night with real bar stops and humorous ghost stories that don’t drag. The structure—short meet-up, two hours in the Historic District, return to the start—makes it feel efficient. And the guide style matters here: both Sarah Anne and Austin are highlighted for moving fast while still keeping the stories clear and engaging.
Skip it if you’re looking for a drink-inclusive package, an all-day adventure, or a slow walking tour that lets you linger. Also think twice if you’re prone to feeling unwell when you mix food, alcohol, and a full evening out. This tour is fun, but it’s still an active night.
