About this experience
Step into the shadowy underbelly of San Diego’s Gaslamp District, where the city’s rowdy frontier and hushed prohibition days of the past collides with its glittering modern nightlife, and where more than a few restless spirits linger long after last call.
On this 21+ Haunted Pub Crawl, you’ll raise a glass in some of the district’s most storied and spirited locations. Stop by the Montijo Building, once home to a furniture store with a chilling sideline in coffins and embalming. Pause outside The Fluxx Nightclub, where the music and lights conceal one of the Gaslamp’s darkest histories. Then, uncover the eerie legends of the Horton Grand Hotel, a Victorian masterpiece said to still host a guest who never truly checked out.
This isn’t your average stroll through the Gaslamp - it’s an adults-only journey into the eerie, intoxicating history that shaped the district and the ghosts that refuse to be forgotten.

Itinerary and highlights
The Horton Grand Hotel stands as one of San Diego’s most intriguing landmarks. Blending Victorian charm with a mysterious past, the hotel has long been surrounded by whispers of ghostly encounters and untold secrets. Among its many stories is that of a guest who, according to legend, never truly checked out. Visitors to this site will learn about the building’s eerie history and the tales that continue to captivate guests to this day.
The Montijo Building once housed the Gray & Co. Furniture Store — an establishment known for far more than just furniture. Specializing in coffins, autopsies, and embalming, the business left behind a legacy steeped in mystery and unease. Today, visitors can learn about the building’s haunting past and the chilling stories that still echo within its walls.
