Savannah: True Crime Pub Crawl & Murder Tour with Drinks

Summary

True crime stories, haunted bars & Savannah’s wildest secrets

You’ll walk Savannah’s moonlit streets with a local guide, sipping cocktails from classic bars while hearing wild true crime tales and unsolved murder stories. Expect laughs, shivers, and plenty of local color as you visit infamous sites and enjoy drinks along the way — this isn’t your average history tour.

What’s the experience like?

I stepped off Bay Street and right away felt that sticky Savannah air — kind of sweet, kind of heavy. Our guide, Marcus, waved us over by the first bar (I think it was called Abe’s, but I might be wrong — blame the cocktails). He handed out these little “to-go” cups, which honestly felt like a local rite of passage. The city was just starting to glow that weird pink-orange it gets at twilight. I could hear cicadas even over the laughter from a group behind us.

We wandered through squares that looked straight out of a movie, but Marcus kept stopping to point out spots where things got… well, dark. Like the old house near Chippewa Square — he told us about a murder there in the 1800s, and I swear the shutters creaked just as he said “unsolved.” Maybe it was the wind or maybe my imagination running wild after my second gin fizz. Either way, hearing those true crime stories while walking Savannah at night made everything feel closer somehow. I didn’t expect to feel so jumpy every time someone walked by with their dog.

At one bar (the one with the sticky floor), we talked about a serial killer who used to drink there — or maybe that was just a rumor, but Marcus swore he’d seen police files. He had this way of making you lean in without realizing it. Someone tried to pronounce “Oglethorpe” and totally butchered it; even Marcus cracked up. By then I’d lost track of which square we were in — they all blur together after a while — but I remember how the Spanish moss looked silver under the streetlights. It’s funny what sticks with you.
