Overview

The Galveston Haunted Pub Crawl Walking Tour lasts about two hours and covers a route through several historic bars, pubs, and notable haunted locations in Galveston. The tour begins at Brews Brothers, where participants can purchase and enjoy local and regional Texas beers. A guide leads the group on a walking route that includes stops at various sites where ghost stories and historical facts are shared. Early stops include tales of a ghost named Sara and other spirits said to haunt nearby buildings. The tour continues to Saengfest Park, where the history of the "hanging tree" used for public executions is explained. Next, the guide discusses the 1863 Battle of Galveston and the hauntings related to Civil War soldiers. At 3 Doors Down, guests may buy specialty drinks such as lemon drops made with fresh lemons and a shot called the "little beer." The route then covers the American National Insurance Annex, also known as the Suicide Building, with stories about its dark past. The ghost of Charles Francis Coughlan is discussed at the next stop. The Oleander Hotel, located in the red light district and reputed to be heavily haunted, is another key location on the crawl. The final stop is the Press Box, a local favorite with a "Cheers" atmosphere, situated in one of Galveston’s oldest buildings, where participants can purchase drinks. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the tour price. The guide provides all historical and ghost-related commentary while leading the entire walking crawl.
