Ghost stories pair well with bar stops. On the Spirits with the Spirits haunted pub crawl, you get a friendly, grown-up night out that mixes St. Augustine walking streets with four complimentary alcoholic beverages and spooky lore. It’s an easy way to experience the city after dark without studying maps.

I especially like the simple structure: meet at 115 Cordova St and follow the guide through Old Town, the Flagler district, and the Old Spanish area. I also like the value angle since each stop includes a drink, plus you get special drink discounts at the venues, so the night feels like more than just a themed walk.

One thing to consider: the spooky focus can vary a bit by night and guide. If you’re expecting nonstop ghost storytelling every minute, go in knowing this is also a pub crawl, and part of the experience is the pacing between stops.

Key highlights worth your time

• Four included drinks across four venues, so you’re not guessing how the cost lands.
• No maps required: the guide leads the route and keeps the walking moving.
• Old Town to Flagler and Old Spanish: you cover more than one “tourist bubble.”
• Special drink discounts at each stop, not just a one-time freebie.
• Small group size (max 10), which tends to make questions and conversation easier.
• Real guide personality matters: names like Aaron, Frederick, Echo, Frank, Sadie, Shawn, and Amanda show up in past departures.

A 7:00 pm haunted bar loop through St. Augustine Old Town

This tour runs for about 2 hours, starting at 7:00 pm. You meet right in the Old Town area at 115 Cordova St, then you’re off on a loop that brings you back to the same spot. That’s a big deal in St. Augustine, because after dark it’s nice not to wonder where you left your footing, your parking, or your group.

You’ll be walking between neighborhoods while your guide shares supernatural stories to keep you entertained. The route is set up so you see multiple areas, including the Flagler district and the Old Spanish area, rather than staying in one tight cluster of bars.

And yes, it’s a pub crawl. That means part of the fun is how the night unfolds: drink, story, walk, story, drink again. It’s social without being a chaotic party bus situation.

Four included drinks: why this makes the tour feel like value

The standout feature here is the four complimentary alcoholic beverages. Many “ghost tours” ask you to buy a drink at each stop, then you’re also paying for the storytelling. In this case, the drink inclusion is part of the deal, which makes the evening feel more predictable.

Think of it like this: you’re paying for (1) a guided night and (2) the experience of hanging out at several local places. If you were going to have a drink anyway, the included drinks take the edge off the cost.

A couple details also make it better than a simple bar hop:

• Drink discounts at each venue: those extra savings can matter if you order something beyond the included option.
• A drink at the first venue: you don’t spend the first chunk of time hungry, thirsty, or awkwardly waiting to start.

You still need to pace yourself. With four drinks over two hours, it’s easy to go faster than you planned. You’ll have a better time if you treat the included drink as the anchor, then decide what to add after you see how the night is going.

The walking route: Flagler district and Old Spanish area after dark

The city changes character at night, and this tour leans into that. You start in Old Town, then the route moves through areas like Flagler and the Old Spanish zone, which gives you variety in streetscape, architecture, and atmosphere.

The “no maps” part matters too. St. Augustine’s historic core is best explored slowly, but after a few blocks you can lose track of where you are. Here, the guide keeps you pointed forward, and you don’t have to stop to pull out your phone every time you turn a corner.

The walking is described as moderate physical fitness level. So plan for sidewalks and some distance between stops. Wear shoes you’d also wear for a good evening stroll, not sandals that slip when the sidewalk gets uneven.

Stop-by-stop: what each of the four venues feels like

You’ll make four stops. Stop 1 is where you get your first included drink, and then the remaining three stops each include another complimentary beverage. You can expect supernatural stories during the walking segments and at stops, with pacing built around the venues.

Because the tour doesn’t list exact bar names in the core description, I’ll describe what you can realistically expect from the format and from specific details that came up in past outings:

Stop 1: Old Town to first toast

Your first venue is where the “start the night with a drink” plan kicks in. This is also when the guide’s vibe becomes clear fast—how they pace stories, how they handle questions, and whether the group is encouraged to interact.

One review detail that stood out: at least some departures are guided by people who clearly have strong relationships with local business owners. You can feel that kind of ease when the night starts smoothly.

Stops 2–3: drinks plus story momentum

These are usually the middle chapters of the evening: drink number two or three, more walking between neighborhoods, and the stories building as you go.

A fair warning based on past experience shared by guests: sometimes the walk portions may feel like more of a transition than a story moment. If you care about ghost lore as the main event, don’t be shy about asking your guide to put extra focus on specific locations or “what happened here” details as you move.

Stop 4: final venue and the loop finish

You end back where you met, so your night has a tidy wrap-up. That loop ending is handy if you’re trying to keep the evening contained—no scrambling for rides at the end, and no hunting for the meeting point once you’re done.

Also keep in mind: the type of venue can vary. One past group reported a cigar bar stop, and that’s the kind of detail that matters if smoke affects you. If you’re sensitive, consider coming prepared (or ask a quick question ahead of time) so you’re not stuck wishing you’d known.

Guide impact: from Aaron to Echo, Frank, Frederick, and more

For a tour like this, the guide isn’t just a background detail. They set the tone—how spooky it feels, how funny it gets, and whether the stories connect to the neighborhoods you’re walking through.

Past departures mention several guides by name, including Aaron, Frederick, Echo, Frank, Sadie, Shawn, and Amanda. The strongest praise clusters around guides who keep the group engaged and can explain both history and the supernatural angle in a way that feels personal rather than rehearsed.

If you’re booking with a “spooky stories first” mindset, it’s worth choosing your night carefully in terms of expectations. This tour mixes bar stops with walking and lore, so your guide’s storytelling style becomes the difference between a fun crawl and a truly memorable ghost evening.

A practical note about consistency

One past experience included major lateness and another involved a guide arriving inebriated. In the response, the company said that individual is no longer in that position. I can’t guarantee how every night will go, but I can tell you the smart approach: show up on time for the 7:00 pm start, confirm any last-minute details if you’re worried about timing, and if something feels off, communicate quickly.

Price and logistics: where the value actually comes from

Even without a listed price here, you can still judge value. The equation is pretty clear:

• You get four included drinks
• You get a professional guide
• The tour is capped at max 10 travelers
• It’s a loop, ending where you started

That combination tends to be worth it when you want a guided night without the planning headache. You also get the benefit of learning the city’s ghost mythology in context, instead of just reading scary stuff later in your hotel room.

The logistics are also fairly friendly:

• Mobile ticket
• English offered
• Smart casual dress code
• All-weather operation, with a clear warning that if weather is poor enough, you may be offered a different date or a refund.

So bring layers. St. Augustine evenings can shift fast, especially when you’re walking.

Who should book this tour, and who might want something else

This is a good fit if you want:

• A fun grown-up night with friends or a date
• Four built-in chances to try drinks at local places
• A guided walk that covers more than one historic zone
• Ghost stories as part of the evening, not a lecture that never includes a toast

It’s also a strong option for people who prefer small groups. With a maximum of 10 travelers, you’re less likely to get lost in the back row, and the guide can usually keep the pace conversational.

You might rethink booking if:

• You want a heavy, cemetery-style ghost tour where every minute is strictly about hauntings.
• Smoke is a concern, since some stops can include a cigar bar.
• You’re the type who hates waiting around between story moments. The pacing here includes walking time, drinks, and venue breaks.

My decision guide: should you book Spirits with the Spirits?

I’d book it if your goal is a guided St. Augustine night with drinks included and you’re excited about a spooky theme that stays social. The loop route, the Old Town/Flagler/Old Spanish coverage, and the small group size make it a practical way to experience the city after dark.

I’d pause and adjust expectations if you’re hunting for nonstop ghost storytelling with zero bar atmosphere. This is a haunted pub crawl, so the vibe balances spirits with social time.

Bottom line: if you like your ghost legends with a drink in hand and a guide who keeps the night moving, this tour has the right ingredients for a memorable two hours in one of America’s most haunted-feeling cities.
