Sips n’ Spooks Haunted Pub Crawl All Drinks InClouded w/ticket

Savannah’s spooky past and drinking stops share the stage on this two-hour evening walk. You move from a wine bar to a champagne toast, across four historic squares, and finish with Latin cocktails and access to a secret speakeasy. It is part ghost story, part pub crawl, and part quick introduction to central Savannah.

I like the clear route through Savannah’s oldest public spaces, and I like that the ticket includes the drinks instead of leaving you to keep reaching for your wallet. Guides Chris, Addison, and Austin have each been praised for making the stories lively and personal. The catch is that the experience depends heavily on the guide and on reliable communication if a departure changes.

Key points at a glance

• A drink at every stage: Wine, champagne, margaritas, and other cocktails are part of the experience.
• Four Savannah squares: The walk includes City Market, Ellis Square, Chippewa Square, Johnson Square, and Wright Square.
• A strong final stop: Mint to Be Mojito Bar includes access to a secret speakeasy.
• Guides shape the evening: Chris, Addison, and Austin have each received specific praise for their storytelling.
• Small-group format: The maximum group size is 25 people, large enough for energy but still manageable on foot.
• Bring your ID and rain gear: You must be 21 to drink, and the walk continues outdoors.

What this Savannah pub crawl is really like

This is not a formal ghost tour with a drink added as an afterthought. It is built around movement, conversation, and short stops. You spend roughly two hours walking through central Savannah, listening to spooky tales, then pausing for a drink before heading to the next square or bar.

The schedule allows about 10 to 20 minutes at each location. That keeps the evening moving, but it also means you should not expect a long sit-down tasting at every stop. The experience works best if you enjoy a brisk social outing and prefer several short encounters to one long presentation.

The walk begins at 306 West Saint Julian Street and ends at Chippewa Square. Since the end point is not the same as the start, you should think of it as a one-way route through central Savannah. The listed end point also means you finish near one of the city’s best-known squares rather than returning to the first bar.

Starting with wine at The Georgia Tasting Room

The first stop is The Georgia Tasting Room, a pub and wine tasting bar. You have about 10 minutes here, with admission included in the ticket.

That short opening stop gives the group a chance to settle in. It also sets the pattern for the evening: arrive, receive a drink, hear or share a little conversation, then move on. If you hoped for a full wine tasting with detailed notes, the limited time may feel brief. If you want a quick first drink before the walking portion gains momentum, it makes sense.

The name also gives the tour a local angle. You are not beginning at a generic chain bar, but at a place tied to Georgia wine and tasting culture. The available information does not specify which wines are poured, so do not book this expecting a particular bottle or a formal list of varietals.

A champagne toast at Bar Bubbly

Next comes Bar Bubbly, described as Savannah’s trendiest champagne bar. The stop lasts about 10 minutes and includes a champagne toast.

This is one of the evening’s most social moments. A toast gives the group an easy shared ritual, and it suits birthdays, reunions, and other occasions when you want the night to feel festive from the start. You will not have much time to linger, so treat it as a celebratory pause rather than a full bar visit.

Because drinks are included, the champagne stop adds real value to the $70 price. Buying several drinks separately in Savannah can quickly add up, especially when the evening includes wine, sparkling wine, and cocktails. Still, the price is easiest to justify if you plan to enjoy most of the included pours. Someone who barely drinks may find the package less attractive.

City Market and Ellis Square: Savannah in motion

The route then moves into City Market and Ellis Square, with about 15 minutes at each stop. These are lively public spaces where the group can pause without losing the feel of the city around it.

City Market brings a change of pace from the bars. It is a useful point for taking in Savannah’s central social district while the guide shifts from drinking stories to local legends and ghostly tales. Ellis Square continues that walk through the same general area, giving you time to notice how quickly Savannah’s streets and squares change from one block to the next.

The practical point is simple: you are outside for a good part of the evening. Wear shoes you can walk in, and do not assume every stop will be seated. If rain is possible, bring an umbrella or poncho. The tour operator specifically advises this, and it matters because the route includes several outdoor stops.

Chippewa Square and the Forrest Gump connection

Chippewa Square receives about 20 minutes, making it one of the longer pauses. It is also identified as Forrest Gump Square, a reference to the famous scene associated with the location.

This stop gives the tour a pop-culture hook alongside its ghost stories. Even if you are not especially interested in film locations, Chippewa Square helps break up the bar stops and gives the guide room to tell a longer story. The square is also the official ending point, so the tour’s final location may arrive earlier than you expect if you are hoping to return to the starting area.

The available schedule lists Chippewa Square both as a stop and as the end point. That makes it worth confirming the guide’s exact finish during the walk, especially if you have dinner reservations or a ride waiting elsewhere.

Johnson Square, Savannah’s first square

Johnson Square is next, with approximately 15 minutes allotted. It is identified as Savannah’s first square, a detail that gives the stop more civic and historical weight than a simple photo pause.

This is where the walking route shows its value. A bar crawl alone can blur into a series of interiors. Moving through Johnson Square lets you connect Savannah’s drinking culture with the city’s planned public spaces. The guide’s storytelling matters here, since the square itself will not provide a drink or obvious performance. Chris has been praised for making city information fun, while other guides have drawn praise for sharing personal experiences.

That variation is important. The route is fixed, but the tone may differ depending on who leads it. A guide who tells stories with energy can make a square memorable. A less engaging delivery could make the same 15 minutes feel like a pause between drinks.

Wright Square, the hanging square

The final historic-square stop is Wright Square, scheduled for about 20 minutes. It is identified as the Hanging Square, which signals a darker turn in the evening’s storytelling.

This is likely the strongest setting for the spooks part of the experience. You are no longer hearing only broad city legends or film connections. The square’s nickname gives the guide a clear opening for stories about punishment, death, and Savannah’s more unsettling past.

Do not expect a theatrical haunted house. The format is a walking tour, and the effect comes from the guide, the setting, and the fact that you are outside after dark. If you want jump scares, special effects, or actors in costume, this will probably feel too restrained. If you prefer a ghost walk rooted in public places and spoken stories, Wright Square should be one of the better stops.

Finishing at Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites

The last listed stop is Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites. You have about 10 minutes there, with exclusive access to a secret speakeasy described as part of the experience.

This is the most distinctive bar stop. The speakeasy adds a sense of discovery without requiring you to spend the evening searching for a hidden entrance on your own. The drinks are Latin-inspired, and specific praise has gone to the margaritas. Empanadas have also been singled out as a highlight of the stop, though the supplied details do not clearly state that food is included in the $70 ticket.

The 10-minute timing again suggests a quick taste rather than a meal. If you want to order extra food or stay for another drink, you may need to continue on your own after the official tour ends. Since the tour finishes at Chippewa Square according to the meeting details, confirm with your guide how the final bar stop fits with the official endpoint. The route information places both in the evening, but it does not spell out every transition.

What the $70 price gets you

At $70 per person, this is not the cheapest way to hear Savannah ghost stories. You are paying for a guided route, several included drinks, and entry or access at the listed bars and stops. The value improves if you would otherwise buy wine, champagne, and cocktails separately.

The drink package is the clearest reason to consider the price. The evening includes a wine stop, a champagne toast, and cocktails, with margaritas specifically mentioned as a favorite part of the experience. You are also paying for a planned sequence that combines bars with major squares, rather than arranging the route yourself.

There are limits. The tour lasts about two hours, and several stops last only 10 or 15 minutes. You are not receiving a long tasting seminar, a full dinner, or an extended stay at any one bar. If you mainly want a pub crawl, the ghost stories and squares add character. If you mainly want a serious ghost-history tour, the drink stops take up time that could otherwise go toward storytelling.

For me, the price makes the most sense for a social evening where you want to sample several drinks and see central Savannah on foot. It makes less sense for a non-drinker or for someone who prefers a quiet, detailed historical lecture.

Guide quality matters here

The guide is a major part of the experience. Chris has been praised for making the city information fun. Addison has received strong praise for showing the group around and balancing spooky material with the early evening setting. Austin has been singled out for both the tour and personal experiences shared along the way.

Those comments point to the experience’s biggest strength: a good guide can tie together the bars, squares, local stories, and personal perspective. The best moments are likely to come from the transitions between stops, when the guide has room to connect what you are seeing with the story being told.

They also point to the main uncertainty. The experience is not a recorded audio route, so the personality and pace may vary. If you are booking for a special occasion, be prepared for a casual group setting rather than a private tour designed around your interests.

Group size, walking, and timing

The maximum group size is 25 people. That is not an intimate private walk, but it is small enough for a guide to address the group without a microphone in many situations. At a larger size, you may need to stay close so you can hear, especially in busy public areas.

The tour is listed at about two hours, with the route divided among eight stops. The timing adds up to roughly two hours, though actual movement between stops and bar service can affect the pace. Drinks were described as coming out efficiently, which is useful on a schedule built around short visits.

You should be comfortable walking between bars and squares. The available details do not give a total distance, so I would not plan this as a long-distance hike, but it is still an outdoor walking experience rather than a seated pub event. Public transportation is nearby, and service animals are allowed. Most people can participate, according to the activity details.

You must bring a valid ID and be at least 21 to drink. This is not a minor detail. Even if you look well over 21, leave your ID in your pocket or wallet where you can reach it.

Cancellations and communication

The stated policy allows a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience. The more important practical issue is what happens if the operator cancels.

Several booking problems have been reported, including cancellations communicated close to the start time. The operator has said that cancellation emails are sent, with text messages attempted when a phone number is available, and has also blamed third-party booking communication in some cases. Since the accounts do not line up, I would take a simple precaution: check your email, text messages, and booking account on the day before the tour, then check again shortly before leaving.

This matters especially if you are arriving from out of town or have paid for a special dinner, taxi, or event afterward. Full refunds were provided in the cancellation cases described, but a refund does not recover an evening lost to poor timing.

Who should book this evening?

I would recommend it to adults who want a friendly, social way to see several Savannah squares while enjoying included drinks. It is a good fit for friends, couples, birthday groups, and first-time visitors who want a quick taste of the city after dark.

You are likely to enjoy it most if you like:

• Short ghost stories rather than a formal lecture
• Several drinks instead of one long bar visit
• Walking between public squares
• A guide who adds personal stories
• A group atmosphere with up to 25 people
• A final cocktail stop with speakeasy access

I would hesitate if you do not drink, need a fully seated activity, dislike outdoor walking in uncertain weather, or want a precise and highly detailed account of Savannah’s past. The spooky side is atmospheric rather than theatrical, and the short stops limit how much detail each guide can provide.

Should you book Sips n’ Spooks?

Book it if the combination is what appeals to you: included drinks, historic squares, ghost stories, and a secret speakeasy in one compact evening. The strongest parts are the champagne toast, the route through Chippewa and Wright Squares, and the final mojito bar stop. Guides such as Chris, Addison, and Austin appear to bring the kind of personal energy this format needs.

Go in with practical expectations. You are buying a social walking pub crawl with spooky storytelling, not a full meal, a private tour, or a serious tasting class. Bring ID, wear comfortable shoes, pack rain protection, and check for last-minute messages. For the right group, $70 can cover a lot of Savannah atmosphere and several drinks without the usual stop-by-stop guesswork.
