Tondee’s Tavern – The Spooky Starting Point to The Ghost City Pub Crawl
Tondee’s Tavern, located at 7 Bay Street in the richly historic downtown section of Savannah, is the spooky starting point to The Ghost City Pub Crawl. This restaurant and bar is locally-owned and is located inside of a former bank building from the 1850s.

That historical tavern was located at the corner of Whitaker Street and Broughton Street during the years of 1770 to 1785. The ground floor of the historic building was originally utilized by the Central Railway and Banking Company. On the upper floor of the building, the most popular slave broker, Joseph Bryan, had his offices in the 1850s. Immediately outside of the building, to the rear, a massive slave pen was set up. Many claim that a number of slaves were held in the basement of Tondee’s Tavern.
