Savannah gets spooky on a pub crawl. Captain Stoner’s Haunted Bar Crawl turns historic nights out into a guided string of ghost stories and real Savannah drinking spots. It’s $33 for about 105 minutes, and it moves fast enough to keep things lively without feeling like you’re jogging through history.

I especially like the way the tour anchors its scares in specific places. You spend time at the 17 Hundred 90 Inn and get Anna Powell’s famous kind of haunting, and then you head to Colonial Park Cemetery where the American Revolution’s spirits are part of the story.

One thing to consider: this is adult-oriented and not for everyone. It’s not suitable for kids under 18 or for people with mobility impairments, and drinks are not included, so you’ll want cash or a card ready.

Key highlights before you go

• Savannah-born guide, Captain Stoner Joe: the pitch is you get a storyteller who knows Savannah nightlife from the inside.
• 4–5 bars, 8–12 ghost tales: you’re not just walking past places; you’re getting a steady rhythm of stories.
• 17 Hundred 90 Inn: Anna Powell’s ghostly antics are a centerpiece of the experience.
• Colonial Park Cemetery stop: you’ll hear about Revolutionary-era hauntings at a historic burial ground.
• Abe’s on Lincoln: the tour leans hard into spooky bar energy, including a bartender’s ghost tale.
• Last bar payoff: drink specials, plus a free champagne bottle for bachelorette parties.

Savannah’s Haunted Bar Crawl in plain terms

This isn’t a polite museum-style ghost tour. It’s a walking-and-talking night that mixes Savannah’s old-world locations with actual pub atmosphere. Expect 105 minutes total, usually in the evening, and a route built around 4–5 stops and a steady count of 8–12 ghost stories.

The guide’s style matters here. Captain Stoner Joe is described as Savannah-born and lifetime-experienced with the city’s ghosts and nightlife. In practice, that means you’re likely to get fewer scripted lines and more talk that sounds like it comes from knowing the people, the places, and the weird lore that never really leaves town.

And it stays practical about the experience. You get access to all the establishments on the crawl, so your money is buying entry and the storytelling, not paying for drinks you may or may not want.

Price and what you really get for $33

At $33 per person, this tour sits in a “reasonable for a guided, multi-stop night out” range—especially because the tour price includes access to the stops. Drinks are not included, so your final spend depends on what you order and how many drink specials you take advantage of.

Here’s the value math I’d use: you’re paying for time with a live guide, entry into several storied places, and a concentration of stories delivered across a short walking route. If you plan to have at least one or two drinks anyway, the cost can feel fair. If you want to do the whole thing with only water, it still can be worth it for the guided history-and-haunting combo.

For group size, weekend tours are limited—a 30-person maximum is mentioned for weekend slots—so you should get a more manageable pace than the big cattle-car-style tours that swamp small streets.

Where you meet at Davant Park, and how to prep

You meet at Kid’s Payground at Davant Park, behind Colonial Park Cemetery. That matters because the crawl is built around historic Savannah geography, and this starting point puts you in the right mindset quickly—settled in around the cemetery and squares area rather than far-flung hotel pickup logistics.

You’ll also want to dress for an evening out, since one review notes how cold weather gave people more time to linger at stops. Translation: the tour keeps its rhythm, but you’ll feel the outdoor time. Bring layers. Also, plan on moving between stops on foot.

Lastly, know who this fits best. It’s listed as not suitable for people with mobility impairments and not suitable for children under 18. If you’re bringing friends, this is the kind of night-out activity where you’ll want everyone to be comfortable with the walking and the adult bar atmosphere.

The crawl rhythm: 105 minutes, 4–5 bars, and 8–12 tales

Most haunted tours either drag or sprint. This one aims for a middle pace. With 105 minutes, you get multiple short stretches where you’re learning, then arriving, then hearing a story tied directly to the location.

The tour highlights mention 4–5 bars and 8–12 ghostly tales. That’s a good structure because it keeps the night from becoming one long lecture. You should feel a repeated cycle: walk a bit, pause at a stop, get the next story, then move on.

If you’re the type who likes a consistent narrative arc, this format helps. If you’re more of a wander-and-snack person, you might feel constrained by the schedule. Drinks are available but not included, so you’ll likely buy something only if the stop feels right and you’re in the mood to linger.

Stop one: 17 Hundred 90 Inn and Anna Powell’s haunting

One of the tour’s strongest anchors is the 17 Hundred 90 Inn. The storytelling here focuses on Anna Powell and her ghostly reputation—specifically, the story includes her playing tricks like stealing clothes and ripping sheets off guests. That’s classic Savannah haunting material: not just a moan-in-the-dark vibe, but a very specific, almost prank-like ghost legend.

What makes this stop valuable is the way it gives you a different flavor of haunting. Some ghost tours focus on doom and dread. This one uses a lighter, more theatrical tone early, which sets expectations for the rest of the crawl. It also helps you remember the story because it’s vivid.

Practical note: early stops can be the easiest time to get comfortable with the group pace. You’ll likely get the most attention from the guide here, since everyone is still fresh and listening hard.

Colonial Park Cemetery: Revolutionary spirits and a solemn turn

After the bar-soaked energy, the tour pulls you into the cemetery mood at Colonial Park Cemetery. The highlights call out ghosts connected to the American Revolution, including a figure from the 1780s—Renee Asch Randolier—as part of what you’ll look for in the cemetery setting.

This is one of those places where the “haunting” label actually makes sense. Even if you’re skeptical, the cemetery context does the heavy lifting. The setting is already about memory, names, and time. The guide’s job is to connect those details to the ghost stories so the night doesn’t feel random.

The main consideration is tone shift. Expect the energy to become quieter and more reflective than a bar interior. If you’re booking this for friends who only want party scares, this stop might feel like a pause. If you like history with atmosphere, this is often the moment that makes the whole crawl click.

Abe’s on Lincoln: bartender lore and dance-with-ghost energy

Next up is Abe’s on Lincoln, a spot where the tour leans hard into bar-stories-as-performance. The highlights include the idea of a murdered bartender’s ghost who keeps the spirits stocked. That’s a fun phrasing because it turns haunting into something you can taste, smell, and laugh at—like the spooky version of a bartender who never runs out.

What I like about this kind of stop is that it matches the tour’s name and purpose. You’re in a pub setting, so the ghost story isn’t only delivered as a history lecture. It becomes part of the night’s vibe.

If you’re a first-timer, this stop also helps you decide how you feel about the tour’s style. If you enjoy spooky humor and barroom theatrics, you’ll probably enjoy every stop more. If you prefer straight facts with minimal playful storytelling, this is where you’ll want to pay attention to how the guide tells the tale.

The Marshall House angle: dream-terror and prank-call creeps

The tour’s description also references The Marshall House and a haunting tied to dreams and prank calls, including an incubus element. It’s one of the darker threads mentioned, compared to the more playful cloth-and-sheet antics at 17 Hundred 90.

This matters because it shows the crawl isn’t just one-note. You get a range—from mischievous to unsettling. The stop functions like a tone dial: it makes the night feel like it has variety instead of repeating the same type of scare at every location.

If you’re booking with a group, this is the stop where friend dynamics can show. Some people will lean in with big curiosity. Others will laugh and move on fast. Either reaction is normal—this tour doesn’t force you into one emotional lane.

Drink specials, last-bar fun, and the bachelorette champagne detail

One of the highlights is the last bar payoff. You’re told there are drink specials there, and the tour notes a free champagne bottle for bachelorette parties. Even if you’re not in that group, it’s a clue about how the tour is designed to land well at the end.

Why do I like this structure? Because it rewards you for finishing strong. A lot of pub crawls lose steam because everyone wants to slow down or because the group gets scattered. Here, the mention of specials suggests the final stop is where the guide wants the energy to peak.

Practical thought: since drinks aren’t included, the last-bar specials can make your budget feel more predictable if you go into it planning for one drink. If you try to cover multiple stops with heavy drinking, the night can get pricey even though the tour itself looks cheap.

Who should book Captain Stoner Joe’s haunted pub tour

I’d put this tour at the sweet spot for people who want Savannah nightlife with a guided story thread. It’s a good fit for:

• Adults who enjoy spooky storytelling that mixes history with bar atmosphere
• Groups of friends who want a shared experience and don’t mind walking
• Travelers who like classic local legends tied to actual places, not just generic ghost set pieces

It’s not a great match if:

• You need step-free routes or you have mobility limits (the tour is listed as not suitable for mobility impairments)
• You’re traveling with kids (it’s not suitable for children under 18)
• You want a strictly factual, academic ghost tour with no playful tone

Also, if you care about group energy, the weekend 30-person maximum is encouraging. Smaller groups usually mean better attention and fewer people cutting across the guide’s flow.

What to watch for: the “bar crawl” part of the promise

This is a haunted tour, but it’s also a bar crawl. That means the pacing is tied to a night-out setting. Drinks aren’t included, and the tour itself doesn’t pretend you’ll be guaranteed a drink at every stop. Some people book for the stories and end up spending less than expected. Others book because they want the pub atmosphere, and then the cost rises naturally with what you order.

The other thing to keep in mind: the tour promises ghost stories, but you’re not signing up for a theatrical show with props and effects. The “scares” are built from storytelling plus setting. If you’re expecting screens, sound effects, or staged paranormal tests, you might feel like the tour is more like a live legend session than a theme-park production.

On the bright side, that makes it easier to enjoy. You can follow along, laugh when a story lands, and still talk afterward in the glow of a good night out.

Should you book this Savannah haunted bar crawl?

If you want a Savannah ghost tour that feels like a night out more than a classroom, I’d say yes—especially if you’re comfortable with adult nightlife and you like stories tied to real locations. The mix of 4–5 stops, 8–12 tales, and specific anchors like 17 Hundred 90 Inn, Colonial Park Cemetery, and Abe’s on Lincoln makes the experience feel focused rather than scattered.

I’d hold off only if mobility limits matter, you’re traveling with anyone under 18, or you’re looking for drinks-included value with heavy spending built in. For the right group, this tour is a fun way to experience Savannah after dark without turning it into a long slog.
