This 2.5-hour Chicago Haunted Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour is a combination ghost tour and pub crawl led by a costumed local guide. The tour begins at Glascott's, a family-owned bar that operated as a Prohibition-era speakeasy, where guests have 25 minutes to hear about the building’s history and purchase their first drink. The group then walks to Lincoln Park, where the guide shares stories about the area's haunted past. Next, the tour stops at the Biograph Theatre to learn about the ghost of John Dillinger said to haunt the alley beside the theater. The tour continues to Lilly's, where guests have 30 minutes to enjoy a drink and hear about the bar’s haunted residents. Afterward, the group visits Hook and Ladder and its sister bar Halligan, connected by a secret door; here, guests have time to drink while the guide tells stories about the bars and their ghostly former owner, John Weiss. Along the route, the tour passes Oz Park, named after L. Frank Baum, featuring statues from the Oz books and a park known for ghost sightings after dark. The walk also goes by King of Cups, a bar known for craft cocktails, ghost stories, and nightly Tarot readings. The tour ends outside the Red Lion, a former western saloon turned English pub reputed to have multiple spirits. Alcoholic drinks are not included but can be purchased at each bar stop. The tour requires guests to be 21 or older with valid ID and operates in all weather conditions.
