Looking for the ultimate night out in New Orleans? The New Orleans Haunted Pub Crawl from Ghost City Tours is where dark history meets good times — a 2-hour adults-only walking tour through the French Quarter's most haunted bars and historic watering holes that has guests raving year after year.
New Orleans is one of the most haunted cities in America, and nowhere is that more apparent than inside its oldest pubs and taverns. Behind every bar top and beneath every flickering gas lamp, there's a story — of voodoo queens, tragic duels, yellow fever epidemics, and restless spirits who never checked out. On this tour, you'll hear those stories firsthand from one of our expert local guides while enjoying a drink in the very rooms where the paranormal activity has been reported for centuries.
This isn't your typical ghost tour, and it's definitely not a history lecture. Think of it as a paranormal pub crawl through the heart of the French Quarter — equal parts spine-tingling, hilarious, and unforgettable. Your guide will lead you to four of New Orleans's most haunted drinking establishments, each with its own dark past and documented ghost sightings. Between stops, you'll walk the atmospheric streets of the Quarter as your guide shares the sinister secrets, unsolved mysteries, and legendary tales that make this city unlike any other.
What makes the Haunted Pub Crawl stand out from other New Orleans ghost tours? For starters, it's designed exclusively for adults who want a more relaxed, social experience — no kids, no crowds of families, just great company, great drinks, and stories that are too dark and too entertaining for a PG audience. Each stop includes time to grab a drink at the bar (drinks are available for purchase but not included in the ticket price), soak in the atmosphere, and maybe even spot something unexplained for yourself.
Whether you're a first-time visitor looking for the perfect introduction to haunted New Orleans, a local who thinks they've heard it all, or a paranormal enthusiast chasing your next encounter, the Haunted Pub Crawl delivers. Our guides are handpicked storytellers who know how to balance historical accuracy with showmanship — they'll have you laughing one minute and looking over your shoulder the next.
The tour covers roughly a mile of flat, easy walking through the French Quarter, with plenty of time to sit, drink, and take it all in at each stop. It's the perfect way to kick off a night out in the Big Easy, and with our 100% money-back guarantee, there's zero risk in finding out why thousands of guests call this the best thing they did in New Orleans.
Spots fill up fast, especially on weekends and during festival season. Book your tickets today and experience the darker side of New Orleans — with a drink in hand.

What's the difference between a ghost tour and a haunted pub crawl?

Can I bring my own drinks on the pub crawl?
You don't need to — New Orleans' famous open-container laws mean you can purchase a drink at any of our haunted bar stops and carry it with you through the French Quarter. It's one of the things that makes a haunted pub crawl in New Orleans unlike any other city.
Is the Haunted Pub Crawl scary or more fun?
The New Orleans Haunted Pub Crawl is more entertaining than terrifying. Think spirited stories and booze-fueled laughter with a spooky edge rather than jump scares.
