Boos & Booze: Haunted Chicago Tour + Bar Crawl

About this Experience

What you'll do:

Our Nightly Spirits Lincoln Park Booze and Boos Tour® has explored some of the most haunted pubs, alleys, and buildings that you dare venture into!  Stand a few feet away from where Dillinger met his end, catch a whiff of flowers as the unseen lavender lady passes by, enjoy a drink in an antique store where each item has a story of its own, and get a true glimpse of the prohibition lifestyle.

Only we won’t prohibit spirits of any kind! Explore the Lincoln Park area with us year-round, and hear chilling tales about ghosts that haven’t moved on, the history that hasn’t left, and most importantly, spirits that might leave you seeing double.

What to expect:

  • Start your tour at a haunted bar while your costumed guide creeps you out with stories of murdered gangsters, local lore, and old owners that won’t vacate the nearby buildings!

  • Then we will take you on a 2.5-hour walking journey to explore the Lincoln Park area to meet the spirits that haunt the locals at our favorite local haunts!

  • You will visit up to 3 haunted bars, so there will be plenty of liquid courage available for purchase as you face the former residents of the Windy City.

Why we love it for your party:

  • It’s a spooky-meets-sassy spin on a bar crawl (You’ll explore Chicago's nightlife while uncovering its haunted past)

  • You get to sip and scream your way through town (Haunted bars mean plenty of booze and boos to go around)

  • Party-friendly spooky vibes (Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, or any crew ready to toast to the otherworldly)

From the minute we walked into Glascott’s Saloon, Katie and Bobby had us hooked. Dressed in flapper and gangster style, they set the mood right away and made it feel like we’d stepped into another era where Chicago’s history and hauntings collide. Katie is a natural storyteller. She has this incredible energy that pulls you in, and every ghost story she told was a perfect mix of history, humor, and just the right amount of creepiness. It honestly felt like she wasn’t just telling the stories—she was reliving them right there with us. Bobby was the perfect balance to her energy—steady, engaging, and full of little details that added depth to the whole experience. The two of them together made the night feel fun, informative, and completely unforgettable. We wandered through some eerie corners of Lincoln Park and stopped at three historic bars, each one with its own atmosphere and haunted backstory. With every stop, the drinks and the ghost stories blended together perfectly, and it felt like we were sharing a night out with Chicago’s spirits themselves. The walk was about a mile, but it flew by because the stories and laughs kept us engaged the whole way. By the time we ended at Lilly’s Bar, nobody wanted to leave—we were all still swapping favorite ghost moments over drinks.

Katie was a great guide. From showing us through the speakeasy at Harry Caray’s to talking about the Great Chicago Fire she had interesting stories about Chicago from its founding through present day. A very enjoyable Sunday evening for me and my wife

We did the private Boos and Booze for my friends Bachelorette party and it was amazing!! Lara was such a great guide, taking us to some of our new favorite bars to visit when we're in town, and helping our hair stand on end. Definitely recommend the tour and Lara herself, she was amazing at handling such a large group as well!!

This tour was a birthday surprise, and my husband and I absolutely loved it! A perfect "Summerween" activity. Katie was wonderful! She was engaging, entertaining, and informational. The bars we visited were great. We loved hearing stories about Chicago, the neighborhood we were in, and hauntings in the bars themselves. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun spooky activity!

We had so much fun taking this tour as part of a bachelorette weekend in the city. Katie was our guide and told us lots of fun stories we hadn’t heard before. She is an excellent and engaging storyteller. The bars were very busy due to a football game, and Katie was able to seamlessly pivot to a stop that was not originally on the list but turned out to be perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour.
