Charleston Boo Hag & Brews Walking Ghost and Bar Tour

Charleston Boo Hag & Brews Walking Ghost and Bar Tour

Overview

Is this a walking brew tour with a side of ghosts or a ghost tour with a side of brews?? While guests will have to decide that for themselves, we can tell you this is not an average "sit there and shut up " tour, but rather an opportunity to engage back and forth with a local Charlestonian. As a combined bar and ghost tour guests will visit two different bars where complimentary appetizer will be served at the first location and the guide will provide drink recommendations. As part of the tour guests will also walk by and receive history based ghost stories near graveyards, alleyways, and a haunted dungeon. The second bar is an historic building with a fantastic local beer selection. Guests will ward off the spirits with some "spirits." The tour will wind down at a hauntingly beautiful local park where one of the first female serial killers was hung. Don't stick around too long after the tour or you may end up a ghost yourself! (Please note we do not enter the graveyards.)

Charleston has such beauty and interesting history. This was a great way to start a visit in a place we have never been. Captain Bryan was an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. He not only gave interesting ghost stories but also a wealth of historic information, plus suggestions on things to see while in town. He made himself available outside of the tour for advice and recommendations. There is only one appetizer option at one of the bars which cant be customized (we are vegan). It is a nacho plate which sounds really nice for those without restrictions. If you do have dietary restrictions and plan to take the late tour, there isn't anywhere to eat out after so recommend eating before the tour. It was a very personal tour as in January he wasn’t booked up. He gave us a lot of his own personal and family history having grown up in town. Bryan is a certified historian and knows his stuff. We learned so much about many things from civil war history to the evolution of southern cuisine influenced by what land was given to freed slaves for farming. Chilling well-researched ghost and boo hag stories were peppered throughout the tour. The bar stops were a unique way to sit and talk and learn more. I am hoping to book one of the other tours next time we are in town. In particular the women and wine tour sounds intriguing. I have been on many different tours of many different kinds in different cities and towns and always choose the ghost tours that have historical accuracy when available. This hits the top of our list. Highly recommend.

Capt. Bryan was amazing and we truly enjoyed the rich history, pubs and scenery. WV and NJ approve and definitely recommend the smaller group!

Found a fantastic evening experience. Captain Bryan was a great host who relayed great factual history, ghost stories, and a couple of great tavern stops. Book it and get ready for a great evening!
