History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl
Book on Viator →Operated by History, Haunts, and Hops! · Bookable on Viator
Savannah night plans got easier. This 2-hour walking pub crawl blends local haunt stories with three included drink stops, guided by folks like Addison and Chris. I love the all-drinks-included setup, and I also like the variety: speakeasy-style drinks, a champagne bar, and even a wine/moonshine slushy stop. One thing to consider: the pace is set by the group, and you’ll want to finish or carry your drink if you’re aiming to see every story.
You start at the Georgia Tasting Room on W Saint Julian Street and end at Chippewa Square, which makes it simple to keep exploring after the last pour. A possible drawback for some people is that the tour depends on weather, and they may cancel and refund if conditions aren’t right for walking.

Key things to know before you go

- Three drink stops, three chances to choose: each stop includes a choice of beer, champagne, or cocktail.
- A speakeasy + champagne vibe + slushy stop: you’re not repeating the same bar three times.
- Haunts without going full horror: the stories are scary-ish, but most people say it isn’t too much.
- Small-ish group size (up to 25): you’re not lost in a giant mob.
- Guides shape the experience: Addison, Chris, and Austin are repeatedly called out for making the history fun.
A 2-Hour Savannah walking crawl with three included drink stops
This is a Savannah tour that’s built for two goals at once: learning the city’s past and tasting your way through it. You walk between stops, and the best part is that your ticket covers all drinks during the crawl. The official structure is simple: about two hours, with three drink stops. Each stop gives you a choice between beer, champagne, or a cocktail, so you’re not stuck with whatever’s poured that night.
What makes this especially practical is how well it fits into an evening. Savannah can eat up time fast—dinner lines, long walks, last-minute Uber problems. This tour gives you a plan with a clear start and finish, and you get a guided route through areas you might not pick on your own.
The “spooky twist” isn’t just theater either. The tour includes haunt stories alongside local history, and it’s paced to feel like a fun night with context, not a lecture. People also point out that it’s entertaining rather than overly intense.

Where you start: Georgia Tasting Room, then out to Chippewa Square

Logistics matter on walking tours, and this one is easy to place on a map. You meet at the Georgia Tasting Room at 306 W Saint Julian Street. That’s a handy location because it’s right in the center of things you’d want to walk toward anyway.
The tour ends at Chippewa Square, one of the city’s best-known public squares. That’s not a small detail. Ending there means you can keep your evening moving without a long “what now?” gap. If you’re pairing this with dinner, drinks, or a late stroll afterward, Chippewa Square makes the handoff smooth.
Also, the tour is set up with a mobile ticket. That matters when you’re bouncing between attractions and you don’t want to manage paper or extra paperwork.
The three drink stops: speakeasy, champagne bar, and a moonshine slushy moment

This crawl is built around three different bar styles, and that’s a big part of the value. Here’s what you should expect in the shape of the evening.
Stop 1: Savannah, plus an early win
You kick things off at a first stop area connected to the Georgia Tasting Room meeting point. From there, the night gets moving through three distinct drinking locations. Reviews highlight that the first drink stop can be the favorite of the night, likely because you get momentum right away: a proper drink choice and the tour stories start landing fast.
Stop 2: a secret-speakeasy style stop
One of the stops is described as a secret speakeasy. Even if you’ve done speakeasies elsewhere, this format works in Savannah because it adds mood. You’re walking through a city known for secrets and old layers, then you step into a bar that feels like it matches the theme.

Stop 3: classy champagne, then the sweet spot of the slushy bar
The second bar is a classy champagne bar. The third is a wine/moonshine slushy bar, and yes, that moonshine slushy detail shows up more than once in feedback—people either didn’t know it was a thing or immediately loved it.
One practical note: the tour is timed, so you may not linger and nurse each drink for a long stretch. If you tend to enjoy taking your time, you’ll still be fine, but plan for “drink, listen, move” energy.
The haunt side: stories of Savannah without making it scary
Savannah’s reputation for ghost stories can go two ways: pure spookiness, or history dressed up like a campfire story. This tour aims for the middle. Expect haunt legends that come with local context, and expect a guide who links the spooky stuff to the streets and the era.
The tone generally lands on fun, not frightening. Multiple reviews mention it’s not too scary, and families or mixed-age groups still enjoyed it. That’s a good sign if you want the thrill without the “I’m going to regret this at midnight” feeling.
A standout theme in the reviews is the Boo Hag story, which is the kind of local lore that gives the tour a stronger sense of place. When the guide ties a legend to Savannah’s neighborhoods and history, it stops being generic “haunted tour talk” and becomes something you remember after you’re back at your hotel.
Drinks and pacing: how the $60 works out in real life

Let’s talk money, but in a useful way. At $60 per person for roughly two hours, the value depends on one key thing: you get three included drink stops and each one gives you a choice of beer, champagne, or cocktail.
If you’ve ever paid for drinks in tourist-heavy areas, you know how quickly you can spend $60 just by ordering two rounds. Here, the ticket builds the alcohol cost into the price, and you’re not doing the math every time you reach the bar.
That said, pacing is part of the deal. Some people say the spacing between stops can feel tight if you’re trying to finish your drink right where you’re standing. The good news is that the operator’s guidance in feedback says you can take drinks with you, the way people do in other southern cities. So if you like to sip while walking, this can actually fit your style.
For the best experience:
- Pick your first drink quickly so you’re not stuck deciding.
- Keep your attention on the guide when you’re moving, because the stories are part of the “included value.”
- If your group is slow, your whole tour may feel slower.
Guides who shape the vibe: Addison, Chris, and Austin
Guides matter on this kind of tour, and the reviews are unusually consistent about that. Addison gets highlighted for being laid back and not rushing through the stories. Chris is mentioned for mixing entertainment with city knowledge, plus keeping the history focus strong. Austin shows up as a lively, fun host who keeps the tour moving while still staying enjoyable for people who came for something before dinner.
What I like about how these guides are described is the balance: they’re not just reading a script, and they’re not turning it into a strict walking museum either. You get room for questions, and the tour doesn’t feel like you’re being herded.
There’s also a practical element: when the guide keeps a smooth flow, you spend more of your time on the tour and less time waiting around for the next group shuffle.
Weather, rain plans, and why canceling isn’t always a red flag

This experience requires good weather. That line shows up for a reason: it’s a walking tour. If it’s unsafe to walk, the tour can be canceled and you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
You’ll also see people mention rain, and the operator’s stance is basically haunt rain or shine unless conditions are severe. For you, that means pack for Georgia weather changes. Bring something light for drizzle, and wear shoes you can handle if the sidewalks get slick.
If you’re the type who hates surprises, keep an eye on updates close to departure time. On at least one occasion mentioned in feedback, a cancellation happened and a refund was provided. In that scenario, the bigger lesson for you is to check messages you receive the day before and day of—don’t assume everything will arrive cleanly.
Who should book this pub crawl (and who might want a different style)
This is a great fit if:
- you want history + bar stops without extra planning
- you like ghost stories that don’t take over the whole night
- you’re traveling with friends and want a guided route through Savannah
- you’d rather pay one set price than price-shop drinks all evening
It may be less ideal if:
- you’re very drink-slow and hate moving on quickly
- you want long, sit-down hang time at each bar
- you’re booking last-minute and expect flexibility without any constraints (there’s a policy referenced in feedback about no tour bookings within 12 hours)
Large groups can also change the feel. One review notes that multiple bachelorette parties made the group mix feel busy. If you’re in a big party or there are several groups landing at once, it can affect pacing and attention.
Should you book History, Haunts and Hops?
If you want an efficient Savannah night that combines local lore with actual included drinks, I think this tour makes a lot of sense for the price. Three included drink stops with a choice of beer, champagne, or cocktail is a straightforward value story, and the speakeasy + champagne + slushy mix keeps it from feeling repetitive.
Book it if you’re excited by haunt stories with history context, and if you enjoy a guided walking plan that takes you to places you’d probably skip. Skip it—or at least consider another format—if you hate moving on while you’re still halfway through a drink or you want a lighter, non-alcohol route.
Overall, the tour’s biggest strength is that it doesn’t treat the drinks like an afterthought. It treats the drinks as part of the experience, with variety and a clear plan to keep your evening flowing from start to finish.
