What you'll see and do
Sip on a crisp local IPA while keeping an eye out for the spirits said to roam near this lively outdoor bar, built on the grounds of one of America’s most historic sites. Some guests have reported the sensation of someone brushing past them—only to turn and find no one there. Could it be a lingering patriot, still enjoying a well-earned drink after a revolution won?
13 minutes here
Independence Hall
This is where the nation was born, but some say the echoes of its past never faded. Spectral figures in colonial garb have been spotted pacing the halls, perhaps debating the fate of the nation long after their deaths. Raise a glass to the Founding Fathers—just be careful not to spill when a sudden chill rushes through the air.
13 minutes here
American Philosophical Society Museum
A place of knowledge and mystery, this library holds more than just ancient texts—it may also house spirits reluctant to leave their books behind. Some claim to have heard phantom whispers between the shelves, as if long-dead scholars are still deep in debate. Order a strong whiskey at the next stop, because you may need it to steady your nerves.
13 minutes here
This trendy bar stands on land rich with history, and some say the spirits of the revolutionaries still linger. Guests enjoying a signature cocktail like the "Ben’s Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned" have reported feeling a ghostly tap on the shoulder. The original rebels may be watching—making sure you remember the price of freedom with every sip.
13 minutes here
Carpenters' Hall
Where the First Continental Congress met, this historic hall is said to still host some of its most passionate members. A shadowy figure has been seen standing near the entrance, disappearing before anyone gets too close. Perhaps it’s just the bourbon kicking in—or maybe history refuses to be forgotten.
13 minutes here
First Bank of the United States
The spirit of Alexander Hamilton himself may still roam near the first national bank, where he revolutionized America’s financial system. Some claim to hear the sound of coins rattling when no one is around, as if an unseen hand is counting old debts. Grab a stiff Manhattan at the next stop—Hamilton might just approve.
13 minutes here
Once a hub for the likes of Washington and Adams, this historic tavern is now a museum—though its spirits may not have gotten the memo. The smell of pipe smoke has been detected in empty rooms, and laughter from an unseen crowd sometimes fills the air. Pour yourself a colonial-style ale and toast to those who drank here centuries before you.
13 minutes here
This Irish pub serves up Guinness and ghost stories, as guests have reported seeing shadowy figures in the upstairs windows. Legend has it a former resident never truly left, and some bartenders swear glasses move on their own. Order a strong Irish whiskey—you may need the warmth if the spirits get too close.
13 minutes here
A modern moonshine bar with a rebellious past, this spot pays homage to the Prohibition era—and maybe attracts a few lingering bootleggers, too. A few patrons have reported hearing phantom footsteps late at night, as if smugglers are still sneaking through hidden passageways. Enjoy a blackberry moonshine cocktail, but don’t be surprised if you feel a ghostly presence watching over your shoulder.

Our group was too big. It stopped us from going into the only haunted tavern. I expected to go into haunted taverns and her stories but that was not the case. Most stops were too loud. The staff was friendly and did their best.

It was a fun way to experience the city at night. Not scary, but got some great spooky/moody pictures and learned quite a bit about the city’s history.

Sean is the best!
Sean was absolutely the best guide for this! He was extremely knowledgeable and could answer any of our questions. Loved all of the history and ghost stories! The bars we went to were also great picks!

My tour got cancelled after it was meant to start :( BUT the company was really good about it
My tour was cancelled when the guild had an emergency and couldn't make it. I think this caused a bunch of miss communication which lead to our tour getting cancelled AFTER it was meant to start. This wasn't great but the company hosting responded pretty well. They offered to reschedule our tour and when no times worked for me they got me a full refund super quick. I think my experience wouldn't be the norm and if you were going to book a tour I don't think this is a bad one to go with (though I can't speak to anything but the logistics)

Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.
How much does Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl cost?
+
Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Philadelphia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Philadelphia is not rushed.
Is Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Philadelphia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Philadelphia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Philadelphia and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Philadelphia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Philadelphia?
+
Philadelphia's core is walkable: Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell need timed entry, the mural arts programme runs the largest public art collection in the country, and the Reading Terminal and Italian Market food walks fill the middle of the day. Outty Ranking favours operators who secure Independence Hall tickets rather than sending you to the visitor centre queue. On Outty we rank every Philadelphia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia, Dark Philly Adult Night Tour, Philadelphia Old City Historic Walking Tour with 10+ Top Sites. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Philadelphia?
+
April to June and September to October, mild weather and open patios. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Philadelphia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Philly Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl?
+
Included: Professional and courteous guide; Authentic local ghost stories; and Well researched history. Not included: Guide tip; and Drinks not include in price. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
