History, Haunts and Hops- Savannah’s ONLY All Drinks Included Pub Crawl

Savannah’s past gets more interesting when a drink is in your hand. This two-hour walking pub crawl pairs local history and ghost lore with three included drinks, taking you from the Georgia Tasting Room toward Chippewa Square through a mix of pubs and cocktail spots.

I like the simple pricing: three drinks are included in the $60 cost, and each stop offers a choice of beer, champagne, or a cocktail. I also like the range of venues, especially the secret speakeasy, champagne bar, and wine or moonshine slushy stop.

The main consideration is pace. The walk and drink stops are packed into about two hours, so some people may feel rushed finishing a drink. The tour runs in poor weather only when conditions are safe, and last-minute cancellations can happen during severe storms.

Key points to know before you book

• Three drinks are included: Choose beer, champagne, or a cocktail at each of the three drink stops.
• The history comes first: Guides such as Chris, Addison, and Austin focus on Savannah’s past, local lore, and ghost stories rather than running a nonstop party.
• The stops have variety: Expect a speakeasy, a champagne bar, and a wine or moonshine slushy bar.
• The tour ends at Chippewa Square: You start at the Georgia Tasting Room on West Saint Julian Street and finish near one of Savannah’s best-known squares.
• Groups can reach 25 people: A smaller group can feel personal, but busy dates may be less relaxed.
• Book ahead: This tour averages booking about 20 days in advance, so do not leave it until the last afternoon of your trip.

Three drinks and Savannah stories for $60

At $60 per person, this tour asks you to pay for more than a standard ghost walk. You are paying for a guide, a walking route, three drinks, and an evening built around Savannah’s history.

The value works best if you would otherwise buy three drinks during a night out. Beer, champagne, and cocktails can add up quickly in Savannah, so having them covered makes the price easy to understand. The tour also removes the guesswork of choosing bars, which is useful when you have only a short stay in town.

I would not book it solely as a bargain drinking session. The strongest part is the combination of drinks and storytelling. Guides such as Chris, Addison, and Austin have been praised for giving detailed accounts of Savannah, answering questions, and keeping the mood relaxed. The ghost material adds flavor, but this is not presented as a scream-at-every-corner haunted attraction.

Your ticket is mobile, and the tour is offered in English. The group limit is 25 people. That is small enough for a guide to manage, though a full group will naturally feel less intimate than a private walk.

Starting at the Georgia Tasting Room

The meeting point is the Georgia Tasting Room at 306 West Saint Julian Street. This is where you gather before setting off, and it also serves as the first drink location in the advertised route.

The tour description promises three drink stops, each with a choice between beer, champagne, or a cocktail. That choice matters. You are not locked into one kind of drink, so a beer drinker, a champagne fan, and someone who prefers a mixed drink can all take part without awkward substitutions.

The first stop is also where the moonshine slushy enters the story. One of the most memorable drink discoveries on the tour is the wine or moonshine slushy, a cold, sweet option that several people found worth returning for later. If you normally order a beer or classic cocktail, this is the chance to try something less expected.

I would arrive ready to listen before the first drink goes down. The guide sets the tone here, and the better-known guides, including Chris, Addison, and Austin, use the opening stretch to establish Savannah’s history and the legends that will appear later.

A secret speakeasy with a spooky twist

The next part of the route includes a secret speakeasy. The exact atmosphere can depend on the night and the group, but the appeal is clear: you are not simply moving between ordinary bars with a guide reciting dates.

The speakeasy setting fits Savannah’s tales of secrecy, scandal, and nighttime activity. It also gives the walk a change of mood after the opening stop. You might be hearing about the city’s darker stories one moment, then choosing your next drink at the bar the next.

This is where the guide makes the difference. Chris has been praised for mixing food, drinks, haunts, and city history in an entertaining way. Addison has been described as relaxed and willing to spend extra time with the group, including showing historical photos. Those details suggest that the best version of this tour is conversational rather than theatrical.

Do keep your expectations measured. The stories are designed to be fun and a little eerie, not intensely frightening. If you want graphic horror or a highly staged paranormal production, this may feel too gentle. If you prefer ghost lore with a firm base in local history, the balance should suit you.

Champagne, cocktails, and the final walk

The route also includes a classy champagne bar. This gives the tour a different feel from a standard pub crawl, since the drink choices and setting can shift as you walk through the historic center.

A later stop is described as a wine or moonshine slushy bar. The three venues are meant to provide contrast, and the drink options let you keep the night varied. One person can choose champagne at one stop, a beer at another, and a cocktail or slushy at the third.

The walking time between stops is part of the tour, not empty space. It gives the guide room to explain Savannah’s streets, squares, buildings, and stories. Several people especially valued the historical material, and some said the guide took time to answer questions instead of rushing through a prepared speech.

Still, the schedule is tight. Some people have found the stops well spaced, while another person had trouble finishing drinks before the group moved on. You can carry drinks with you in Savannah, according to the tour provider, so that may solve the problem. Even so, drink at a sensible pace. Three drinks in roughly two hours can be plenty, especially in warm weather.

The tour finishes at Chippewa Square. That is useful for planning dinner or another evening activity because you are not returned to the starting point. You will need to arrange your own way back to your vehicle or hotel, so note the end point before you set off.

What the guides add to the night

The guide is the most important variable on a history and ghost walk. Chris, Addison, and Austin are the names most often associated with the strongest experiences described here, and each brings a slightly different style.

Chris is known for being funny while keeping the focus on Savannah’s history. Addison has been praised for a laid-back pace, detailed stories, and old photographs. Austin has been described as entertaining and effective at keeping an afternoon or evening moving.

The common thread is that the tour is not meant to be only a drinking game. The guide explains the city’s past, introduces ghost legends, and connects the bars to the streets around them. That makes the included drinks feel like part of a walking history lesson rather than the whole point.

I would ask questions as you go. The format allows for conversation, and the best moments may come from a guide expanding on a story or explaining a local custom. The material is also light enough for a family group with older children who are comfortable around bar settings, though the experience is clearly designed for adults who want drinks.

Group size, timing, and the occasional crowd problem

The stated maximum is 25 people. That is a reasonable ceiling for moving between bars, hearing a guide, and getting drinks without turning the entire walk into a parade.

The atmosphere can change on major celebration weekends. Around St. Patrick’s festivities, large party groups may join the route, and that can make the walk louder and less controlled. If you want a calm evening, avoid the busiest festival dates or ask about a private tour through the provider’s website.

Private tours are available by direct contact, according to the tour information. That could be worth considering for a birthday, bachelor or bachelorette gathering, or family group that wants more control over the pace. A private option may also help if your party prefers history over drinking, or the other way around.

The average booking lead time is about 20 days. That is a useful warning for a weekend in Savannah. I would reserve before your trip, especially if you have a fixed dinner reservation afterward.

Weather and cancellation details that matter

This is an outdoor walking tour, so weather can affect your plans. Light rain may not stop the outing, but severe conditions, including lightning or tornado warnings, can lead to cancellation for safety.

The provider says that a different date or a full refund is offered when poor weather cancels the tour. The same applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached. Because weather decisions can be made close to the start time, check your email and phone messages on the day of the tour.

For your own cancellation, you can receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes inside that 24-hour window are not refunded. The cut-off follows Savannah local time.

That policy is standard enough, but the practical lesson is simple: do not book this as a last-minute backup unless you are willing to accept the risk. One booking made only a few hours before departure caused a problem because same-day bookings inside 12 hours are not accepted by the provider. Book early and confirm your contact details.

Who will enjoy this pub crawl most

I would recommend this tour to you if you want three things in one evening: a walking tour, a few drinks, and Savannah ghost stories. It is especially useful for first-time visitors who want an introduction to the city without spending the whole night inside one bar.

It also suits couples and friend groups. The pace gives you something to talk about, while the drink choices keep the experience from feeling like a dry lecture. Families with adult children can enjoy it too, provided everyone is comfortable with the pub setting and spooky stories.

History fans should look closely at the guide style. The best feedback centers on the amount of historical detail, not just the cocktails. If you want dates, local stories, photographs, and a guide who answers questions, this should be a stronger fit than a purely theatrical ghost walk.

I would be more cautious if you dislike group tours, need a slow drinking pace, or want a quiet evening. You may also prefer another plan if your schedule cannot tolerate a possible weather cancellation or if you need to finish at the starting point.

Should you book History, Haunts, and Hops?

Book it if you want the convenience of three included drinks and a guide-led introduction to Savannah’s history and haunted lore. The moonshine slushy, secret speakeasy, champagne bar, and final arrival at Chippewa Square give the route more variety than a basic bar-to-bar crawl.

At $60, the value is strongest for someone who would buy several drinks anyway. The experience is less compelling if you are mainly seeking a serious historical tour or a hard-partying night out. Think of it as a social walking tour with good drinks, not a pub crawl with a few facts added on.

Reserve ahead, wear comfortable shoes, watch the weather, and keep an eye on the clock between stops. If that sounds like your kind of Savannah evening, this is a practical way to combine the city’s stories with a few local pours.
