Trace Gold Rush-era ghost stories through Jackson Square, Devil’s Acre, and Chinatown, with stops inside four haunted San Francisco locations.

About this tour

Step into San Francisco’s shadowy past on a haunted pub crawl through Gold Rush-era streets and storied bars. This San Francisco Haunted Pub Crawl begins in Jackson Square, one of the few downtown areas to survive the 1906 earthquake and fire, then crosses the notorious Devil’s Acre before ending in Chinatown.

Along the way, an experienced guide shares stories of ghosts, true crime, and the city’s darker history, including tales of desperate miners, forlorn women, shanghaied sailors, and a serial killer or two. Unlike a typical ghost walk, the route enters four haunted locations, where you can choose to enjoy a drink. Alcoholic beverages are not included, and guests must be 21 or older to drink. The 150-minute experience meets at High Horse, where you’re welcome to order a drink before setting out. Public transportation is available nearby, and the tour is suitable for all fitness levels.

Follow the stories through San Francisco’s historic streets and discover the spirits said to linger in its old haunts.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 18% in San Francisco means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in San Francisco by this score.
