About this experience
Our Fort Worth haunted pub tour is a combination ghost tour and pub crawl that is perfect for a great night out. Whether you are a true lover of ghosts or are just up for a fun night out, there is something for everyone!
Your costumed guide will take you on a 2.5-hour Haunted Pub Tour through the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. Your walking journey will begin at a haunted bar where you can purchase your favorite spirit from behind the bar to enjoy while we share the haunting history of how “Cowtown” came to be. We will explore the famed Exchange Avenue, with historic buildings, spooky basement bars, and the imprinted memories of true wild west shootouts at every turn! Because to-go drinks are allowed within the Stockyards, there will be plenty of chances to wet your whistle and drown your fears along the way!
