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

Savannah’s Sips n’ Spooks combines ghost stories with a moving bar crawl, so you get more than a standard pub tour. Over about two hours, you’ll sample drinks at three stops while hearing about some of the city’s most atmospheric squares, including Forrest Gump Square and the old Hanging Square.

I like the included drinks and the compact route through historic downtown. I also like the final stop at Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites, where you receive access to a secret speakeasy. The main concern is reliability: several bookings were canceled, and communication about those cancellations was not always clear.

Key points to know before booking

• Three drink stops are built into the $70 price, including wine or spirits, champagne, and a Latin cocktail.
• Four historic squares provide the spooky setting, with stops at City Market, Ellis Square, Chippewa Square, Johnson Square, and Wright Square.
• The secret speakeasy at Mint to Be is the tour’s most unusual finish.
• Guides vary, with Chris, Addison, and Austin specifically praised for their storytelling and personal experiences.
• You must be 21 or older and carry valid photo ID to drink.
• Cancellation communication has been uneven, so check your messages carefully before heading to the meeting point.

A ghost walk with a glass already in hand

This experience is best understood as a short, social walk through Savannah rather than a serious study of haunted history. You move from bar to square, listen to stories, and keep the evening going with a drink at each pub stop.

The route begins at 306 West Saint Julian Street and ends at Chippewa Square. That point-to-point setup is useful because you are not sent back to the starting place, but you should plan the rest of your evening from Chippewa Square rather than the original meeting point.

The price is $70 per person, with all listed drinks included. That makes the cost easier to judge than a standard walking tour with separate bar purchases. You are paying for the guide, the storytelling, the planned route, and drinks at several stops. The value is strongest if you want a ready-made evening and expect to order drinks anyway.

The group can reach 25 people. That is small enough for a guide to keep the walk together, though it may feel more like a group outing than a quiet ghost investigation. The tour is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket.

The Georgia Tasting Room starts the evening

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

That short visit sets the rhythm for the night. You are not settling in for a full meal or a long tasting flight. Instead, you receive a drink, get acquainted with the group, and prepare to head into Savannah’s historic center.

A 10-minute stop can feel quick, especially if the bar is busy. Still, it keeps the tour moving and leaves more time for the outdoor stories. If you prefer long tastings with detailed explanations of each pour, this format may feel light. If you like variety and do not want to sit in one bar all evening, it works well.

Champagne at Bar Bubbly

The second stop is Bar Bubbly, described as Savannah’s trendiest champagne bar. The plan includes a champagne toast with your friends, and the stop lasts about 10 minutes.

This is a clever change of pace after the first tasting. The toast gives the group a shared moment before the tour heads farther into the historic squares. It also adds a little celebration to an evening that might otherwise lean heavily on spooky tales.

Again, do not expect a long stay. The appeal is the toast and the setting, not a full champagne lesson. The included drink is part of the package, so you do not need to budget separately for it unless you choose to order something extra.

City Market and Ellis Square bring the stories outside

City Market receives two itinerary stops, one listed as City Market and another at Ellis Square. Each is scheduled for about 15 minutes.

The outdoor sections are where the tour becomes a proper Savannah walk. You leave the bars, take in the old downtown streets, and hear stories with the squares and buildings around you. The exact stories can depend on the guide, but the route is designed to give the spooky material a place and a sense of atmosphere.

City Market is also a practical early stop because it helps you understand the layout of central Savannah. Ellis Square gives the group another nearby point for stories and discussion without requiring a long walk between locations.

The pace should suit you if you want a little history along with your drinks. It may not satisfy you if you are looking for a detailed architectural tour or a long list of documented hauntings. The experience focuses on storytelling and mood rather than scholarly detail.

Chippewa Square is the visual centerpiece

The tour spends about 20 minutes at Chippewa Square, also known as Forrest Gump Square. This is the longest outdoor stop before the final return to the bars.

Chippewa Square gives the tour a recognizable Savannah setting. Even if you know it from the film, the square works here as more than a photo stop. The group has time to pause, hear stories, and take in one of the city’s best-known public spaces.

The meeting point is on West Saint Julian Street, while the tour ends at Chippewa Square. That makes Chippewa both a sightseeing stop and the final location for the evening. If you have dinner, a taxi, or another activity planned, use this ending point when working out your timing.

The tour takes place outdoors, so comfortable walking shoes matter. If rain is possible, bring an umbrella or poncho. The operator specifically advises this, and there is no reason to ignore it. A wet ghost walk is less charming than a dry one.

Johnson Square adds an older Savannah setting

Johnson Square is described as Savannah’s first square, and the tour allows about 15 minutes here.

That detail gives the stop a clear historical role. You are not only moving from one bar to another. You are also passing through the original pattern of Savannah’s public squares, which helps explain why the city feels so different from a typical grid-based downtown.

The short visit should give you time for a story and some orientation. As with the other squares, the quality depends heavily on the guide. Chris was praised for making city information fun, while Addison was singled out for an enjoyable combination of spooky stories and personal experiences. Austin also received strong praise for adding his own experiences to the tour.

Those comments point to an important factor: the guide’s personality matters here. The same route can feel lively with a good storyteller and rather ordinary with someone who simply moves the group from stop to stop.

Wright Square carries the darkest name

The final historic square is Wright Square, scheduled for about 20 minutes. It is identified as Savannah’s Hanging Square, which gives the stop an obvious connection to the tour’s darker side.

This is likely the most directly spooky part of the route based on the square’s name and the tour’s theme. Still, you should expect stories and atmosphere, not theatrical scares or a haunted-house production. The experience is a walking pub crawl with ghost content, not a special-effects attraction.

The longer 20-minute stop gives the guide room to build a story rather than rush through a quick fact. The timing also creates a natural bridge to the last drink stop.

Mint to Be ends with a secret room

Mint to Be Mojito Bar and Bites is the final listed stop. You spend about 10 minutes here and receive access to the bar’s secret speakeasy.

This is the tour’s most distinctive feature. A regular bar stop is easy to find on your own. A planned entry to a secret room gives the evening a small sense of discovery and provides a fitting finish to the ghost-and-drinks theme.

The bar is known for Latin cocktails, and the tour description highlights its mojitos. One account also specifically praised the margaritas and empanadas, though you should not assume that food is included in the $70 price. The listed package covers the tour’s included drinks, not every menu item at the bars.

The short visit means you may have only enough time for the included cocktail and a quick look around. If the speakeasy is the main reason you are booking, keep your expectations sensible. It is an access point within a pub crawl, not a full evening spent in a private lounge.

What the $70 price really covers

At $70, this is not the cheapest way to hear ghost stories in Savannah. You can walk through the squares without paying for a tour, and you could choose your own bars. The price makes more sense if you want the evening organized for you and plan to drink at several stops.

You receive included drinks at the Georgia Tasting Room, Bar Bubbly, and Mint to Be. The package also removes the work of deciding where to go next. The route is timed, the guide handles the stories, and the group moves together.

The value depends on your drinking habits. If you do not drink alcohol, the tour loses much of its appeal because the included beverages are a central part of the experience. If you enjoy cocktails, champagne, and a short walk through historic squares, the bundled price can be reasonable.

Food does not appear to be included. You can expect drinks, but you should arrange a meal separately. The mention of empanadas at Mint to Be is useful because it points to a possible food option, but it should not be treated as part of the ticket.

The guide can make or break the evening

The strongest praise centers on the people leading the tour. Chris was credited with making city information fun and with telling compelling stories. Addison was praised for balancing spooky material with a pleasant walking route, and Austin received a strong recommendation for sharing personal experiences.

That matters because the itinerary itself is compact. You are not visiting a museum or entering a historic building with a large collection of exhibits. The guide supplies much of the content through timing, delivery, and storytelling.

I would book this for a group that enjoys conversation and a little theatrical atmosphere. It should work especially well for friends, couples, and adults looking for a first-night activity in Savannah. It may be less suitable if you want a silent, serious ghost investigation or a long historical lecture.

Timing, walking, and group details

The advertised duration is about two hours. The listed stops add up to roughly 115 minutes, which leaves a little room for walking between locations, gathering the group, and ordering drinks.

The route is entirely centered on downtown Savannah locations. No transportation is provided as part of the experience, so you should arrive at the starting point on your own and plan your departure from Chippewa Square.

The group maximum is 25 people. That limit helps keep the tour manageable, but this is still a group activity. Expect to walk at the pace of the group and to share the guide’s attention with other people.

Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. The tour is near public transportation. You must be 21 or older to drink, and you must bring valid ID. Do not rely on a digital image of your ID unless the bar accepts it, because the instructions specifically tell you to bring your ID.

The cancellation problem deserves attention

The most serious concern is not the route or the drinks. It is communication when the tour is canceled.

Several bookings were canceled, with full refunds issued. In some cases, the notice was reportedly not seen until the scheduled start time or shortly afterward. The operator said notices were sent by email, and sometimes by text if a phone number was supplied. The operator also stated that some cancellations were made more than 24 hours ahead, while the booking platform may not have passed the message along clearly.

The practical lesson is simple: check your email, text messages, and booking account on the day before the tour and again before leaving. If you are planning a special birthday evening or connecting this tour to a fixed dinner reservation, allow room for a change.

The stated cancellation policy allows a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. That protects your money, but it does not replace the evening if a last-minute change disrupts your plans.

Who should book Sips n’ Spooks

I would choose this tour if you want three things at once: a few included drinks, a guided walk through Savannah’s historic squares, and spooky stories delivered in a social setting.

It suits you best if you enjoy variety. You move from wine or tasting drinks to champagne, then to outdoor storytelling, then to a Latin cocktail and speakeasy. The short stops prevent the night from becoming repetitive.

I would hesitate if you want a detailed history tour, a long cocktail tasting, or guaranteed calm and quiet. I would also think twice if you cannot drink or if an unexpected cancellation would cause a major problem for your schedule.

The overall rating is 3.4 out of 5 from seven ratings, which reflects that split. The successful outings received praise for the guides, drink quality, compelling stories, well-timed stops, margaritas, empanadas, and the speakeasy. The poor ratings focus almost entirely on cancellations and delayed notice.

Should you book it?

Book Sips n’ Spooks if the combination of included alcohol, short historic walks, ghost stories, and a secret speakeasy sounds more appealing than a formal history tour. The route gives you a pleasant way to sample several parts of central Savannah without planning each stop yourself.

Before paying, make sure you are comfortable with the cancellation risk and check all messages before leaving. Bring photo ID, wear shoes suited to walking, and carry rain gear if the forecast looks uncertain.

For a social Savannah evening with drinks and a little spooky flavor, it is a promising choice, especially when led by a strong guide such as Chris, Addison, or Austin. Just do not book it expecting a full meal, a long tasting class, or a theatrical haunted attraction.
