Get a heavy dose of history – straight up or on the rocks. Listen to true stories of ghosts, bootleggers, murderers and pirates on Galveston’s Haunted Bar Crawl.
Visit historic taverns, former brothels and lively pubs along the Strand. Explore Galveston’s dark history and meet new people. This Pub Crawl contains elements of sightseeing and nightlife in a single event. It is a blend of local history, bar visits and a guided tour.
Mike will be your guide. He’ll take you through the streets and show you Galveston’s scariest spots as well as the city’s hidden gems. Mike is a 13th generation Galveston native. He will tell you history focused local stories plus personal accounts of paranormal activity.
Mike will introduce you to many local bars in Galveston’s lively nightlife scene. You can sip on a drink (own expense) as you hear tales of Galveston’s Red Light District. It once had 55 houses of prostitution. Galveston had the name “Sin City” long before Las Vegas did. Men working in Houston would spend their weekends in Galveston, coming to gamble, drink and visit houses of prostitution. Their money drove the economy and the city’s leaders looked “the other way.”
You’ll hear about the Great Storm of 1900 which was the worst hurricane and deadliest storm in United States history. The death toll was estimated to be between 6,000 and 12,000 people. Galveston has also suffered from fires, floods and epidemics.
Mike will point out historic landmarks. You’ll hear about Jean Lafitte, pirates, buried treasure and much more. And you’ll hear about the Tremont House Hotel – is it true that some guests checked in but never checked out?
Every bar/pub will have its own story and great drinks.
You’ll be entertained, scared and educated, all at the same time. And you’ll have so much fun doing it!
