Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl  (Third Wednesday of Each Month)

Visit some of Richmond's most haunted pubs where you can hoist a pint with some of the regulars who are still 'hanging around.'Sit comfortably as your ghost guide spins the intoxicating tales of ghastly happenings in the oldest neighborhood in Richmond. You'll have time to get to know the spirits, your guide and fellow pub crawlers. Drinking is not required to have a spirited encounter, but because the tour goes into the bars and taverns, no one under the age of 21 is allowed.

Loaded with Richmond ambience, you'll visit three to four pubs and hear these stories:

  • The ghost of Mr. Poe
  • The permanent guests of the Railroad YMCA
  • The restless spirits of Belle Isle
