July 16,2026 - Our first ghost tour experience in Wilmington, NC was at The Haunted Pub Crawl. We…read moretried purchasing our tickets online yet had some difficulties. We went to The Black Cat Shoppe in person- an hour before the tour started - to purchase them in person and were able to get two tickets. We went to the site to meet our tour guide 15 minutes before the tour started as requested. It was not comfortable because it was hot at the meeting area outside. The tour guide came around 7:30 pm and introduced herself and got to know us. Before the tour started, we had to sign paperwork to claim that the business and tour guide was not responsible for any problems we had on the tour. Our tour guide Gina was a delight and gave us a theatrical performance throughout the tour. Not only was she dressed in a costume, she was always on cue and kept the tour interesting and short & sweet. She made sure all our accommodations were taken care of and had a microphone, so we could hear her throughout the tour. Throughout the tour, she offered to take photos and help as much as possible. There were three couples, six people in the group- 7 including the tour guide: Alex, Tyler, Rachel, Zoe, Bobby, O. , & Gina, the tour guide. We walked to four bars during the night hearing ghost stories and experiences from the energetic and ecstatic Gina. From the reviews I read, the tours go to different and various bars each time . On our tour we went to : Growler's Tavern, The Rooftop Bar, Lula's, and The Blue Post. You purchase the drinks you like at each bar and congregate at a chosen area to hear the ghost stories from the tour guide. Only one bar had drink specials posted for us to see. Most of them were dive bars yet charming nonetheless. My favorite bar was Lula's because it was small and welcoming. Tiffany made me a classic martini and chilled the glass for me. The ghost story Gina told me was my favorite as well. Other highlights in the tour: The creepiest place was at the theater area by The Rooftop Bar. The Rooftop Bar had the most spectacular aerial views of the sunset and Wilmington. The decor, games, pool tables, and drink specials in Growler's Tavern. The sitting area in The Blue Post that use to be an open are alley walk way for prostitutes. The tunnel entrance in Lula's , an underground dark pub, which was part of The Underground Railroad, where slaves escaped to gain freedom. Overall, we liked our haunted pub crawl, and we got ideas of places we would visit again in the future.

The ghost story told in Lula's was my favorite ghost story in the pub crawl. I loved how the bar was small and cozy. Tiffany was our bartender and she made me a classic gin martini. She was the most memorable and nicest bartender I met that night. She took the time to chill the martini glass as well. I will definitely re-visit Lula's bar again. I liked how cozy it was and it was like a hidden gem among all the bars we went to in Wilmington.
