Looking for a spooky good time in Savannah? Don’t miss the Grave Encounters Tour With Pirates’ House Dinner, which includes exclusive access to the restaurant’s legendary Rum Cellar that was once frequented by real-life pirates. Old Savannah Tours is the ONLY local company offering access to the original Rum Cellar at the Pirates’ House, so this tour is a must-see and your one chance to venture inside this hallowed haunt.

Start your evening with a Grave Encounters trolley tour for a thrilling overview of Savannah’s haunted history. Every night of the week, ghostly guides share tales of murder, voodoo, death, disease and disaster in the Hostess City of the South.

The Grave Encounters Tour includes stories about the Sorrel-Weed House, which is widely considered the most haunted house in Savannah, and the Colonial Park Cemetery, where many Yellow Fever victims were buried.

You’ll also see the iconic Olde Pink House, known for its supernatural activity, and explore the Telfair Academy, Savannah’s oldest public art museum, to enjoy spine-tingling stories. Along the way, you’ll hear lively tales told by some of Savannah’s most illustrious “spirits” – from deceased theater performers to dead pirates – who hop on the trolley to share their morbid tales of misfortune.

After your tour, enjoy a delicious dinner at The Pirates’ House – one of Georgia’s most iconic restaurants, which originally opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers – and keep your eyes out for paranormal activity. Immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson in his acclaimed novel Treasure Island, The Pirates’ House once served as a site where patrons were unceremoniously “shanghaied” and woke up to find themselves at sea aboard a working pirate ship.

The Pirates' House

Step into The Pirate’s House for a taste of what Savannah was like in the mid 1700’s. It was a time when visiting sailors came off the seas to eat hearty meals, share a story about their adventures and raise a ruckus. An Inn, just steps away from the Savannah River, served as a watering-hole for pirates and seamen from the Seven Seas. Today, that very Inn is The Pirate’s House, a specialty restaurant featuring authentic Georgia cuisine served in a theme reminiscent of its early roots. 15 separate dining rooms showcase Pirate artifacts and seafaring décor.

Wooden ships, iron pirates and framed pages from an early edition of the book Treasure Island adorn the walls throughout the restaurant. The Pirate’s House’s historic, lighthearted setting has been recognized by the American Museum Society and the restaurant is now a house museum. Many Savannahians and visitors make it a point to stop in at The Pirate’s House for the scrumptious Southern food and the high seas ambiance.

The pirate’s house – savannah.

One of the oldest buildings in all of Savannah, The Pirate’s House is just about 250 years old with a sketchy past to match its weathered exterior. Rumored to be the oldest building in the entire state of Georgia, the Pirate’s House has seen the darker side of Savannah since the 1700s.

From shanghai-ing to spectral pirates, Savannah has it all! Want to see it all up close? Join us for a hauntingly fun and historically accurate Savannah ghost tour!

A History of the Pirate’s House

A block away from the rushing waters of the Savannah River, the Pirate’s House is a tavern that was built in 1794. Pirates and sailors alike would meet at the tavern for a drink and a good time. It was a popular destination among sea-faring men and soon became the local hotspot for brews and brawls.

Located in one of the most famous spots in Savannah, the place where the Pirate’s House was built was naturally inviting for sailors due to the thriving seaport town Savannah had become.

Underground tunnels were soon dug out to make the shady happenings of the Pirate’s House even more discreet.

During WWII, the building fell into disuse and lost its nautical spark. In 1945, the property was acquired by the Savannah Gas Company and the building was scheduled to be demolished. It was saved by Mrs. Mary Hillyer, the wife of Mr. Hansell Hillyer. Mary, along with a few other local lovers of history took it upon themselves to restore General Oglethorpe’s vision of Savannah.

In the process, the Pirate’s House received a loving restoration, ensuring that it would endure the years and be available for generations to come. The establishment reopened as a tea room in 1953 and boasts a fabulous menu with a cozy dining space. It changed faces again and once housed a jazz club before it became the bar and restaurant that it is today. But, as with any location in Savannah, all is not beauty and happiness — as you’ll find out soon enough below.

Treasure Island Inspiration

During the height of the Pirate’s House’s popularity, author Robert Louis Stevenson visited the building for some sort of inspiration. He left feeling the fires of creativity and soon wrote Treasure Island in 1883. The novel became immensely popular and even created the stereotypes about pirates that still exist today. A description of the book is as follows:

“In the book, Captain Flint and the Haunted Pirate House are mentioned. Flint was a ruthless pirate that captained his ship, The Walrus, around the world collecting a bounty of riches and treasure. Captain Flint then buried his treasure on a deserted island and murdered his crew. In true pirate fashion, Captain Flint created a map of the location of the buried treasure with an “X” to mark the spot. He then gave this map to his first mate, Treasure Island character, Billy Bones. Eventually, Bones died from a stroke and the map fell into the possession of the book’s narrator, Jim Hawkins. It’s said that Captain Flint’s life ended in Savannah many years after the story of his lost beloved treasure. His love affair with rum led to his eventual death. It’s even possible that he died in the very inn that inspired Stevenson to create his character. The Treasure Room of The Haunted Pirate House still contains early editions of Treasure Island to this day.”

The Pirate’s House Tunnels

It the early days, The Pirate’s House was a haven for seamen, criminals, and other less-than-saintly figures. Many men found themselves in the bar for a brew or two and waking up on a ship hundreds of miles off of the coast. This was a process known as ‘shanghai-ing’ and left countless men as indentured servants to the sea captains that kidnapped them.

Leading from the Pirate’s House rum cellar onto River Street is a musty tunnel. It’s been covered over since, but it was once used as a transport tunnel for these unsuspecting men. The Pirate’s House isn’t the only location with spooky subterranean tunnels — read about all of Savannah’s hidden tunnels here!

Even more, the Pirate’s House was well known for its drunken brawls, fights, and even murders.

Spirits of the Pirate’s House in Savannah

Savannah is a place of turmoil and unrest when it comes to the spirit world. It’s no surprise to hear when yet another location is ridiculously haunted. This popular tavern is no different — many visitors have reported strange ghostly activity during their visits to the Pirate’s House.

Even the employees of the bar have had their own strange happenings including glasses falling from shelves on their own and visions of apparitions wandering throughout the dining room.

Workers have reported feeling the eerie presence of entities and even coming face-to-face with the spirits of seamen who enjoyed the tavern in years past. The sounds of heavy boots have been heard moving about the building after closing time, and screams have even been reported coming from the closed off tunnels that run underneath the building.

Spirits of sailors are the most commonly reported occurrence, and for good reason considering the past of the building.

One of the more popular ghost stories may be just a tall tale, but it is interesting nonetheless — it tells of Captain Flint from treasure Island. As the story goes, Flint died inside the Pirate’s House and decided to stay. Could there have been a real life man that Captain Flint was based off of that actually did die in the tavern? Perhaps, but that’s a conversation for another blog!

In Conclusion

Savannah is packed quite literally to the brim with haunts and spirits. Every corner, shop, cemetery, and square is teeming with legends of ghosts and reported hauntings. The Pirate’s House included.
