Experience the spine-tingling allure of Seattle’s haunted bars with the Terrors & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl. For $30 per person, you’ll spend two hours exploring four of the city’s most atmospheric drinking establishments, all while uncovering chilling ghost stories and legends. The tour begins at 7:00 PM outside the Blarney Stone Pub, with a lively guide leading the way through a ghostly journey that combines history, mystery, and a splash of local spirit.
We love that this tour offers a mix of diverse atmospheres—from rustic charm at The Blarney Stone to sleek modernity at The Can Can—making each stop uniquely memorable. The stories shared by the guides are not only entertaining but also well-researched, adding an authentic flavor to the supernatural tales. Plus, the chance to enjoy your favorite drinks at each venue makes it a relaxed, social experience rather than just a ghost story session.
A possible drawback? The reviews reveal some inconsistency in the depth of storytelling, with one traveler mentioning that the “stories and information were lacking depth.” This suggests that if you’re expecting highly detailed history, this might not satisfy your curiosity fully. However, if you’re after a fun, atmospheric night with good company and spirited tales, this tour hits the mark.

While some reviews note that the stories could be more in-depth, many someone found the tales sufficiently gripping, especially when combined with the lively, atmospheric bars. The tour’s pacing allows enough time at each location to enjoy a drink and mingle, making it more of a social outing than a purely informational tour.
