Want to go out drinking with a long dead barmaid, a "working girl" who'll fall for you, and a ghost whose beer has a head, even though he does not? Join us and hear tales so spooky, "they'll scare ya sober!"
 

Drink in the history... Crawl out the door

The pub tour operates weekends year 'round, and is reserved for Adults (21+ ONLY! Tours depart at 9:00PM, last approximately 2 hours, and visit three of Annapolis' most haunted pubs with a quick stop in a graveyard just
for the hell of it!

What is a pub crawl?
The term "pub crawl" originated in England where, much like downtown Annapolis, small pubs and taverns are within walking distance of one another. Partygoers could go from one tavern to the next stopping for one drink at each establishment. You can imagine that by the end of the
evening, some of the folks were "crawling" rather than walking! We offer pub crawls of both the haunted and non-haunted variety.

Sounds great, but what if I dont want to crawl?
Rest assured, neither crawling nor drinking is required on this tour. Our goal is to provide you with a different evening of entertainment, which may include the liquid spirits of this world and/or of the ephemeral spirits of the next world!

Does my ticket include drinks?
Um, sorry, but, no! Let me be more specific, no, nyet, nunca, non (you'd be surprised how many people miss this point). Your ticket reserves your spot on the tour, lets you hear all our great ghost stories, and provides you with a cool glow-in-the-dark bracelet to impress all your friends,
and to identify you as a "crawler" for the duration of the evening.

Is tipping acceptable or required?
That is totally at your discretion. Tipping is acceptable,
but not required. We expect our guides to be highly professional, well-trained, and to entertain you regardless of potential gratuities. Many of our guests appreciate good service and choose to reward it, and the guides are always grateful. The same applies to the bartenders and servers at
the bars we visit.

Can we bring booze or carry cocktails from bar to bar?
NO! Believe it or not, I actually have to address this...and yes we have had several issues! As much as we would love to let you, Maryland law is pretty specific on both of these points. And the bars enforce them rigidly! This means no flasks, no bar-noculars, no pocket beers for the road, and no hiding a bottle in your wife's cleavage then pulling it out at the next bar (they were huge, and it was quite an impressive feat). No outside alcohol is permitted...period!  No drinks may leave the bar...period, no exceptions!

May I smoke on the Pub Crawl?
That is totally at your discretion. However, please be advised that Maryland law prohibits smoking inside any public building, that includes restaurants and bars.  Smokers must indulge outside in approved areas. Sorry, not our call.

We want to do a private Pub Crawl, can we do that?
Absolutely! Private tours are available! We can schedule group tours any night of the week, and at any time. $350 for up to 15 guests. $15 per additional guest (a $5 per guest savings). To arrange your group event, please email orders@annapolisghosts.com or contact us at: 443-758-5345.

We want to include food on our tour, can you help us?
On our regular, open registration, pub crawls, we do not provide food and are generally not at each bar long enough for you to order food. However, if you are booking for a private group, we can work with you and some of the bars that we visit to provide appetizers or other snacks at a location.

Which bars do we visit?
Our route varies with season, special events in Annapolis, bar availability and whim of our tour guides. We have visited Galway Bay (Formerly The Little Campus Inn), Harry Brownes, Sly Fox Pub at the Reynolds Tavern, Drummer's Lot at the Maryland Inn, Rams Head Tavern, Dock Steet Bar & Grill and Middleton Tavern. We will go to three or four bars on each crawl, but specific route information is generally not available until the moment we depart.
 
Great! Sounds like fun! But, how does it actually work?
At each bar you visit, your guide will give plenty of time for those who wish to purchase a soda or cocktail. Then, your guide will tell you the haunted stories of that location and of those nearby. You will stay in each bar approximately 20 minutes. The guide will provide you with a warning to finish your beverage, use the bathroom, etc. Then on to the next stop...

Still sounds like fun, but I don't want to be around a bunch of drunken "barely legals!" What ages come on your tour?
Good question - obviously to come on the tour, you must be over 21; however, our groups are usually very mixed. We've hosted 21st birthday parties as well as 50th birthday parties and older (We've even taken out the Red Hats...apparently tea isn't the only thing these ladies drink!). If you have a large enough group, you can always book a private tour. In the past, guests of all ages have mingled on the crawl and had a great time.

How long does the tour last?
The tours generally last between 2 and 2 1/2 hours depending upon the size of the group (As you can imagine, it takes a while to get 20 drinks!) However, if you have a curfew or if you turn into a pumpkin at midnight, please let the guide know and she will make sure to get you home in time!
 
Oh, I almost forgot, will I see a ghost on this tour?
A very good question! We cannot guarantee that you will see a ghost on the tour; however, we can tell you that people have seen "things" on the tour and have had experiences that they cannot quite explain. So, bring your camera, an open mind, and prepare to have fun! See you soon.
