Perfect birthday plan. You get the ghost stories, you get four bars you wouldn't have found alone, and nobody in the group had to do any organising.

Salem Ghost Tour & Haunted Pub Crawls
Ghost stories land differently with a drink in your hand. This Salem haunted pub crawl threads four working taverns together with four haunted stops in between, so the evening moves between bootlegger legends and last call without ever losing the thread.

About This Tour
Salem: Boos and Brews Haunted Pub Crawl
Four Watering Holes, Eight Haunted Stops
This is an evening walk through the historic streets of Salem, visiting up to four distinct watering holes that mix craft producers and local bars. The route may include spots like Rockafellas, Village Tavern and Mercy Tavern, with stops at haunted locations in between to add an extra thrill to the evening.
An Unhurried Pace
Expect to spend between fifteen minutes and one hour at each destination, depending on the day of the week and the season. That flexible schedule gives you time to settle into the atmosphere of each venue and to talk with the rest of the group. Whether you prefer a cosy tavern or a craft cocktail bar, there is something on the route for you.
Before You Go
Drinks are not included in the tour price, so bring some extra cash for the bar at each stop. Stops on the tour are subject to change based on availability and season.

Inside the Tour
What You'll Experience
Eight historic and haunted locations in total, four of them working pubs. The route may include Rockafellas, Village Tavern and Mercy Tavern, with haunted stops threaded in between. Stops change with the season and with what's open that night.
The stories run to witchcraft, murder and Salem's secret tunnels, and the bar stops come with their own: Mercy Tavern's bootlegger ghosts, and a Devil's Touch cocktail to sip while the group plays drinking games.
Expect anywhere from fifteen minutes to a full hour at each stop depending on the night and the season. It is built to let you settle into each room and actually talk to the rest of the group rather than being marched between doorways.
This is an adults-only evening: 21 and over, valid ID required to buy alcohol. Drinks and tastings are not included in the ticket, so bring extra cash. The crawl is not suitable for people with mobility impairments, and it runs rain or shine.

What visitors tell us after taking the Salem Ghost Tour & Haunted Pub Crawls.
★★★★☆
Fun evening, just know that drinks aren't included — we'd skimmed that bit. Bring more cash than you plan to spend. The tunnels story alone was worth the ticket.
★★★★★
Our guide carried a lantern through East India Square and I felt slightly ridiculous following it. Ninety minutes later I was the one asking follow-up questions about bootleggers.
