Ready to mix spirits with… well, spirits? Join Boston’s premier haunted pub crawl, where the drinks are strong and the ghost stories are even stronger.
Grab your bravest drinking buddies and stumble (responsibly!) through Beantown’s booziest and most bone-chilling history—from haunted pubs and ghost-filled restaurants to the eerie cemeteries where Boston’s past refuses to stay buried. You’ll hear tales of restless Founding Fathers, scandalous secrets, and blood-stained streets that might just send a chill up your spine—or maybe that’s just the whiskey.
So pour yourself a Boston Lager, toast to the dearly departed, and see just how much haunted history you can handle. With Ghost City Tours, it’s all fun and fright until someone sees a ghost... and then it’s even better.
*Entry into establishments is subject to operating hours and availability. Drinks not included. Only for guests ages 21+.

At Faneuil Hall, built in 1742, the ghost of its namesake, Peter Faneuil, is said to still wander the halls. You might catch a glimpse of his shadow or even hear his voice. The building, once a bustling marketplace and meeting spot, is also haunted by spirits from Boston’s revolutionary past, making it a hotspot for eerie encounters. Over at Ned Devine’s, the site of the infamous Green Dragon Tavern, things are no less spooky. Known as a Revolutionary War hangout for figures like Paul Revere, the tavern is haunted by the ghost of "Captain," a former regular who met a tragic end. Patrons report hearing strange mutterings and seeing mysterious shadows—could it be the Captain still drinking at the bar?

It’s said that Chester A. Arthur’s ghost haunts the Union Oyster House - guess he just couldn’t clam up about his favorite spot for a good meal!

The Green Dragon Tavern in Boston is steeped in both revolutionary history and ghostly lore. Once the favorite haunt of Patriots like Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock, the tavern was the center of political plotting during the American Revolution. It's believed that the ghosts of these revolutionary figures still linger, perhaps still debating freedom and liberty.

Mary Dyer’s story is a mix of bravery, rebellion, and a dash of martyrdom. A Quaker in Puritan New England, she wasn’t one to back down when it came to her beliefs. Despite being banned from Massachusetts multiple times, she kept coming back to protest the colony’s strict anti-Quaker laws. Her persistence earned her a date with destiny - and the gallows - on June 1, 1660. She was hanged on Boston Common, but she didn’t go quietly. In fact, she’s still said to haunt the spot, fighting for freedom in the afterlife, proving some protests never die!

King’s Chapel Burying Ground in Boston is not just one of the oldest cemeteries in the city - it’s also one of the most haunted! Established in 1630, it’s home to the graves of some of Boston's earliest settlers, including famous figures like John Winthrop (the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony). But with such a long history comes plenty of spooky stories! The graveyard is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of those buried there, especially near the old, weathered headstones. Some visitors claim to hear whispers and see shadowy figures moving between the graves - proof that, in Boston, even the dead love a good ghost story!
