The experience

You'll walk from pub to tavern to bar through the same streets and alleys as the Founding Fathers, stopping at watering holes that have operated for centuries. The guide waits until everyone has ordered a drink or beverage before telling the stories tied to that location: no rushed narratives, just time to settle in and listen. About 30 minutes at each stop gives you room to order, use the restroom, and absorb the tales before heading to the next one.

The stories are real: a long-dead barmaid, a "working girl" who haunts the place she knew, a ghost whose beer still has a head. The guide connects the hauntings to the actual history of Historic Downtown Annapolis and the people who walked these same streets. The crawl may include a stop at the church graveyard, depending on the route that night.

Arrive 15 minutes early to check in and settle at the first bar with a drink if you want one. The walk covers uneven surfaces typical of a historic downtown, and comfortable walking shoes are a must. The crawl runs in all weather, so dress for the conditions. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them to get to the starting point.
