Orlando Haunts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl
Book on Viator →Operated by Orlando Haunts · Bookable on Viator
Six bars, one spooky walk. What makes this Orlando Haunts crawl fun is the way it mixes haunted history with the relaxed energy of a pub-style night out. You’ll follow a timed route through Downtown Orlando, listening to stories that feel local and well organized.
I especially love the balance here: you’re not just chasing goosebumps. The stops are short enough to keep moving, but the guide’s explanations give you context about old Orlando and why these places have such a reputation.
One drawback to consider: it’s a compact, mostly standing-and-walking experience. The tour price covers the guide and stories, but alcoholic drinks are not included, so your final spend depends on how much you order at the bars.

Key takeaways before you go

- Two hours, six stops: the pacing is tight, so you’ll get variety without dragging it out.
- History-forward storytelling: expect more old-Orlando context than a pure paranormal show.
- Small group size (max 15): easier to hear the guide and ask questions.
- Mobile ticket: you’ll check in from your phone instead of hunting for paper.
- End at a dedicated haunt bar: Cocktails & Screams is built for the final round of stories.
A 2-Hour Downtown Walk Through Haunted Bars

This is a 2-hour Orlando haunted pub crawl built for a Friday-night vibe. You start at 55 N Orange Ave and end at Cocktails & Screams on W Pine St, so you’re finishing in a place that’s meant for lingering.
The group stays small, with a maximum of 15 people, which helps the guide keep everyone engaged. It’s offered in English, and since it runs near public transportation, it’s easier to fit into a bigger Orlando evening plan.
Check your phone for the mobile ticket. You’ll want it ready at the meeting point, and you’ll also benefit from having confirmation in hand ahead of time, since it’s issued within 48 hours of booking (subject to availability).

Price and what $36 covers (and what it doesn’t)

At $36 per person, this tour isn’t priced like a big ticket production. For that money, you’re paying for a professional guide and their thoroughly researched, accurate history, plus authentic local ghost stories.
What’s not included is the obvious part: alcoholic beverages are not included in the tour price. Each stop lets you experience the setting and the story, but your drinks are on you if you decide to order—so it’s smart to set a rough budget before the first bar.
One nice detail is that the tour is structured around stops where the time with you doesn’t require extra paid entry. Each location lists admission ticket free for your visit, which helps keep the tour feeling straightforward and fair.
Stop 1: Elixir Kitchen and Bar to start strong

You kick things off at Elixir Kitchen and Bar, where you spend about 30 minutes. This is your warm-up stop, and it’s designed to set the tone with haunted history and chilling tales right away.
What I like about starting here is that it’s not all doom and gloom on arrival. You get a social, bar-first introduction before you move to places that feel more architectural and old-school—so even if you’re a little skeptical about ghost tours, you’re still in the right mood.
Stop 2: The Angebilt Hotel for quick haunted history

Next up is the Historic Angebilt Hotel, with about 10 minutes at this stop. The guide shares the hotel’s haunted reputation and the kinds of strange encounters reported by both staff and guests.
The short time here works for a reason: you get the key stories without letting the crawl stall. It also makes the pacing feel snappy as you transition from one piece of Orlando’s past to another.
Stop 3: McQueens Social Lounge with a story and a drink

At McQueens Social Lounge, you get about 20 minutes. This is the “come thirsty” moment: you’re encouraged to enjoy a drink while your guide talks through the bar’s historic background and the haunt-flavored tales attached to it.
This stop is especially good if you like a more conversational format. It’s not just standing by a building and hearing a lecture—there’s a real pub-lounge feel to it, and that makes the stories easier to take in.
Stop 4: The Kress Building and the whispers factor

You spend about 10 minutes at the Kress Building, an iconic Orlando landmark tied to older city history. The focus here is on reported experiences, including the unsettling idea of whispers you might hear while you’re standing there.
This stop works best when you lean in and let the guide frame what you’re seeing. It’s also the type of location that lets you use your imagination a bit, because you’re dealing with atmosphere and reputation more than a big interactive moment.
Stop 5: Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando for the big haunted-opulence moment

Then it’s time for the Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando, about 20 minutes. This one is often referred to as one of the most haunted hotels in the country, and the guide brings attention to both its opulence and the strange happenings tied to it.
I like this stop because it gives you contrast. Up to now, you’ve seen haunted stories across bars and older structures; the Grand Bohemian adds a different flavor—polished, upscale, and still carrying a ghostly reputation.
Stop 6: Cocktails & Screams for the final round of tales

The tour wraps up at Cocktails & Screams, with about 30 minutes to linger. This is the finale you’ve been walking toward, and it’s built as a ghost enthusiast’s dream bar where the guide keeps the energy up with chilling stories.
Plan to end here instead of rushing off immediately. You’ll have one last chance to soak up the vibe, and if you’ve gotten more interested in the spooky side as you go, this final stop is where it peaks.
What you’ll likely feel: history first, then haunt
One clear theme in how this crawl works is the mix of ghost stories and Orlando history. The format isn’t a full-blown paranormal investigation, and it’s not meant to be a silent, serious reenactment either.
Instead, it’s closer to a guided night out with story beats. The guide’s emphasis on accurate history makes the spooky side more grounded, so you’re learning why these locations became part of local lore—not just collecting random scares.
If you want something that’s fun and social, this fits well. If you want intense, long-form haunting details at every stop, you may find the time at each location a bit short—but that’s also why the entire tour stays doable in a single evening.
How to get the most out of every stop
Because each location is timed, you’ll get more from the tour if you’re mentally ready to listen while you move. Arrive a few minutes early at the start at 55 N Orange Ave, and give yourself time to settle before the guide launches into the first stories.
Since drink prices are separate from the tour price, decide early how you want to handle alcohol. If you want this as a light, story-focused night, you can treat the bars as part of the experience without making it a heavy spending spree.
If you’re the type who likes photos, you’ll naturally want a moment at places like the Kress Building and the Grand Bohemian Hotel. Just keep in mind that the tour time is tight, so quick pictures and attentive listening will make the night feel smoother.
Who should book this haunted pub crawl?
I think this is a great fit for you if:
- you want a 2-hour activity that blends bars with story time
- you like Orlando’s older buildings and want a guided way to connect them to local lore
- you enjoy a small-group setting where you can actually hear what’s being said
It may be less ideal if:
- you’re expecting an all-alcohol, all-scare party where drinks are included
- you want long stays at each location instead of short, story-driven stops
Also, book ahead. On average, this crawl is commonly reserved about 8 days in advance, so planning sooner gives you better odds of getting your preferred time window.
Should you book Orlando Haunts Boos and Booze?
If you want a fun evening that blends haunted history with bar energy, I’d lean yes. The best part is that the experience isn’t just ghosts for ghosts’ sake—the guide’s focus on accurate history makes the stories feel earned, not random.
I’d also call it good value for the length and structure. For $36, you’re getting a guided route through six notable Downtown Orlando spots plus authentic local ghost stories, with alcohol left as an optional add-on.
If you’re on the fence, think about your goal: do you want a quick, guided Downtown night with story beats? Then this fits. If you want hours of paranormal intensity or drinks included, you might be happier with a different style of tour.
