50 Best Bars in Savannah

“The atmosphere at Late Air is exceptional. No matter the season, a chill in the air, or sweltering humidity, the ambiance is Hot and Chill! The wine is like no other in the region sourced from near and far. I am told that in most cases the wineries are visited by the owners and operators Madeline and Colin. This greatly adds to the mystic because if you are lucky enough to be there when they are (which is highly likely), they may tell you a heartfelt story of how that particular wine made its way to Savannah and your palette. The food pairings are of a level of sophistication yet approachable. The menu changes often so make certain to follow them in insta and FB for the current offerings. Cheers!“

“Had the best time at Zunzi’s in Savannah! 🐾 What started as a dog-friendly TikTok tip turned into an absolute must-visit. Our pups devoured their pup cups, and the spike apple cider and nachos were simply perfect. Huge shoutout to Tara, Pais, Saleh, and Sienna, with Tara especially who lost track of time chatting with us and stayed past her shift (you know it’s good conversation when that happens 😄). Their warmth and hospitality made the whole experience unforgettable, exactly the kind of place that makes you think, “Yep, this could be home.” “See you soon” and thank you for sharing all of your Savannah knowledge. Hopefully, we’ll be calling you neighbors soon!“

“Beyond the creative music inspired cocktail list this place is ever inviting but also hip at the same time. It’s a hipster bar that is welcome to everyone.
Knights In White Denim is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted in my life.
Go here!“

“Absolutely adored this bar, not a lot of quaint bars on Broughton St so this one definitely interested me. The drinks are great, the bartenders are very friendly and informative and the ambiance is super cozy. Prices are excellent, I wish I tried the food, but I guess I’ll have to come back next time!

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and so did we!“

“Went up to Peregrin just before sunset and stayed until the sun fully dipped below the skyline. It was absolutely gorgeous. The city and the bridge slowly getting washed in that deep orange glow is one of those simple but memorable Savannah moments.

It was mellow when we arrived — likely because it was a bit cold — which honestly made it even better. No chaos, no fighting for space at the railing. Just a relaxed rooftop atmosphere with one of the best views in the city.

I ordered the Wingspan, and it was balanced and genuinely delicious. Not overly sweet, not overly boozy — just well made. Exactly what you want while watching the sun go down.

Pricing is about what you’d expect for a rooftop bar at a high-end hotel. If anything, maybe even a touch more reasonable considering the setting.

If you’re in Savannah, this is a perfect pre-dinner move: one drink, take in the sunset, and enjoy the view. Would absolutely do it again.“

“This place is rad….the raddest. Bartender was awesome. Long haired dude told it how it was. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Great hang. Fun hang with the locals.“

“Really a great place....and the cocktails were amazing! Makay was the bomb bartender!!!!“

“Stopped for something to eat after a Savannah Ghost Pirates game. Thursday night and they service bar food late and beer in cans. (I had the chorizo fries and they were really good.) Mainly art college students hanging out — mostly younger crowd.“

“Colin,Tres, Becca, Becca. food. drinks and really nice,nice patrons.“

“usually great music, atmosphere, and college kids are a blast“

“Chris gave us a wonderful experience. His recommendations were outstanding. Great ambiance!“

“Stumbled into this place as it was near Boomy’s where we ate superb Thai hot drunken noodles, glad we did. Super awesome jams on their playlist - most we sang along - attentive bartenders and affordable cold beers. Wish we could’ve hung out longer.“

“Our group was out for Savannah PRIDE on Saturday evening, when we were followed and one of the young women in our group was sexually assaulted just up the block from this bar. There were 6 of us chasing the man, screaming and yelling and causing a ruckus. When the cops came and we finally stopped, Bobby and his cousin Dean’s wife (sorry I missed her name) were among only 3 people total who came out to check on us and offer help. After the police took the scum bag away, we went over to Abe’s on Lincoln where we were treated top notch, had some excellent, and very needed drinks, and were able to regain our composure in a safe and friendly environment. The bar was great and we would definitely recommend!“

“Moodright’s In a place down yonder called Moodright’s, where dreams collide, Artists, motorcyclists, athletes side by side, For here, the lines blur between right and wrong, Yet still, the mood lingers, enchanting and strong. In this haven, talk and passions take flight, Colors dance on canvases, vibrant and bright, Motorcycles rev, engines hum with desire, Athletes push boundaries, fueling the fire. But it's not just the talents that hold this place, It's the spirit of camaraderie, a warm embrace, For conversations can mean nothing or all, Fleeting connections, yet they never truly fall. A pal you thought, yet not what they seem, The tapestry of relationships, twisted and gleam, But still, the ambiance feels just right, Where it doesn't matter if you're wrong or right. In a hazy corner outside, where whispers roam, A stranger found solace, far from his home. With a cigarette poised between his fingertips, He sought refuge from life's unyielding grip. Cigarette embers danced, casting shadows long, Illuminating tales of the weak and the strong. These revelations, passed through a veil of smoke, Forging an unlikely bond beneath midnight's cloak. A leather vest, adorned with symbols galore, A testament to the bonds they both wore. For in this realm where outsiders converge, A vest becomes armor, an investment to preserve. No judgment or scorn, just the comfort to share, In this ephemeral confine, devoid of despair. And as the melodies of a rad song ring, The stranger's beside you begin to sing. For in the tang of smoke and tales untold, Lies a sense of belonging that never grows old. So they spoke of dreams, of triumph and strife, Of love found and lost, of the battles of life. But as the cigarette dwindled, the night drew to close, The moments of solace, like fading prose. Yet the conversations they shared will forever survive, Like wisps of smoke, in memories they thrive. So remember, as you stride along, That stories untold have a place to belong. In the stranger's ear, secrets find their release, And in the hushed moments, connection finds peace.“

“Such a fun Bar with great drinks and friendly service.“

“By far the best selection of craft beers and an awesome staff who serves them..“

“love fox!! great place!!!“

“we were in town for one night and found this little hidden treasure. The staff was amazing the old fashion by Kowalski was off the charts! The old cartoons and three stooges added to the great vibe. Come check r
this place out you won't be disappointed!“

“Such a cool vibe! Jason is an incredible bartender and will take amazing care of you! The daiquiri is amazing!!! They have fun vintage arcade games to play with your friends as well.

Parking: A lot of on street parking, can be a pain depending on the day.“

“drinks were very good, atmosphere was very nice“

“First, the manager that waited on us was very good and accommodating - that was great. The taste of the food, the flavors, and the freshness of the fruit topping were all good. HOWEVER - A few things were "off" though: 1) I was handed a breakfast menu just before switching to brunch time and my menu had noticeable food/soiling on it on both sides. When I asked the host for a clean menu, she switched to the brunch but that menu also had a sticky mark on it. 2) When my wife joined and pulled the table toward her, she ended up putting her hand on something messy/sticky on her end of the table and on the side - not a good sign for proper cleaning. 3) The food was delivered barely warm - especially the French toast. My wife requested the maple syrup to be warmed up and they forgot to do that so she had cold French toast with room temp syrup. My avocado toast has a cold pouched egg on top. Overall, not a strong impression for this moderately pricey eating experience.“

“You do not need a reservation for the Tavern as another user suggested. Of course, going early is recommended — we had to wait only a few minutes for a spot at the bar. Even on a Monday night in early February the Tavern was packed, and I quickly realized why:

The Flounder was exceptional, as were the greens and corn bread. If I could rate the atmosphere any higher, I would. The bar staff were friendly, knowledgable and made getting through a rush seem effortless. Cheers!

The Tavern offers the same menu as The Olde Pink House, FYI.“

“Great neighborhood place to hang! The bartenders are exceptional.“

“This place is awesome! Loved the decor and cocktails were on point. I tried a mai tai and a saturn, both for the first time trying their traditional versions. Both were very nice, I really can't decide which I preferred! Loved the balanced taste each had. I also had the polynesian ceviche that was made with ahi tuna and coconut milk, super flavorful and frezh. The bartender was super friendly and helpful.“

“Very nice hotel. I recommend this to everyone.“

“Excellent bar with a positive, fun atmosphere, attentive, quick, personable bartenders that want you to have a great time in their lovely bar!!! I highly recommend this bar to tourists and locals alike.“

“everything 🍹 the bartending the people pool table outdoor atmosphere“

“Zoey is easily one of my favorite bartenders in this town. She loves her work and she's good at it, too. For my part, pricing for drinks has always been fair. Also, Lucky's has a pretty solid dartboard setup, so it's a good place to play if darts are your thing.“

“We were in Savannah for my best friend’s 30th birthday and we went into several bars but Bonnie was our favorite part about Savannah! Her daughter & her work very well together in a very busy atmosphere, best bar in general & Karaoke was definitely a bonus. You can’t miss it! It’s the only bar that looks like the life of the town!“

“Had such a great time at Pendant! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the drinks are expertly crafted. Huge shoutout to David at the bar—he was friendly, professional, and made the night even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“homaphobic said my gay friend cam had an incurable std which for a gay man is the equivalent of telling him he had aids. didnt give an apology or anything after being brought up to the owner.“

“Even if it's cold outside, you must get a frozen drink to slurp! Great mixed concoctions, but strong! Fun experience and way to tour the town and sightsee. Reasonably priced for the amount, recommend samples to figure out what you like first!“

“clean, comfortable, and friendly! its that place where everyone knows your name. karaoke, billiards, trivia They have it all! come make friends!“

“Amazing bar. Rachel is a top notch bartender. We really hope management takes her crown to heart and makes one for all the bar staff. We felt it really made Rachel stand out. The scepter bottle opener was also a really nice touch. She made us feel like royalty and everyone took very good care of us and worked together as an awesome team. Meridian was also wonderful. The food was fantastic and the drinks were expertly made. My wife and I look forward to our next visit to the Westin Savannah and Midnight Sun.“

“Oak 36 Bar + Kitchen is a great option when you want something modern and relaxed without heading downtown. The vibe is stylish yet comfortable — perfect for a casual happy hour or an easy dinner with friends.

We stopped in for happy hour and were impressed with the quality and value. The wood-fired meatballs were absolutely delicious, served with crusty bread for dipping, and paired perfectly with their cocktails. The espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had — smooth, rich, and beautifully presented.

The space itself is inviting with plenty of seating, a great bar setup, and friendly staff who make the experience easy and enjoyable. Our bartender was especially informative, taking time to explain drink options and specials, which made the visit even better. I also love that they offer 50% off bottles of wine on Saturdays — such a fun reason to stop in with friends.“

“I've been going to Captains 25 + years. Pool , Pinball , Games , Good music and a great crowd. Friendly bartenders. 5 *“

“Don't waste your time on this bar......they're out of everything. Asked a couple of the bartenders why they're out of everything and they said the same thing......the manager Andrew would rather sit and gamble on the machines than order what the bar needs. Hopefully the owner gets rid of this narcissistic clown before he destroys the place. Go to Jerry's or the Dew Drop.......they actually have management that care about their business.“

“Friendly crew and nice food! 😋🫡“

“Welcoming vibe, good people“

“I drove to this bar all the way from Atlanta specifically to meet up with a person from a dating app. So not only are you about to read a review of this bar, but you are about to hear a love story. When I arrived, the door guy checked my id and maintained his station like a gargoyle standing sentinel and guarding in the night. I walked carefully down the winding stairs and my eyes immediately locked with the person I was looking for... Working on the left side of the bar. Holy crap, he was gorgeous. We smiled and his hands shook as he took my order. No four roses (my favorite drink), so he gave me whatever else they had. I really didn't care. I took my drink and perused around the bar to check the vibes. It was karaoke night and the bar was full of gorgeous young folks having the best time. There were some tables near the karaoke section littered with small groups yapping away and singing along with music. Beyond these tables, a small step up to play pool. The jubilant crowd gathered in sections playing their games while some littered along the walls. There were corners with some adorable retro games. I thought it was cute and reminded me of some bars that I used to visit when I was in college. My next mission was to find the bathroom. I had to pee so bad after a long drive. The bathroom was easy to find after wondering around and exploring just a little further. I walked in and there were a couple of drunk girls helping each other with their jumpers and they were hyping each other up with pristine drunk girl bathroom etiquette. The bathroom was clean and the artwork in the stalls was in great taste. I took a photo of the artwork and then I searched the walls for any warnings about the bar tender I was there to meet up with... No dice. Thank glob he hasn't made it to the bathroom wall. After finishing up in there, I walked back to the bar to sit and enjoy some time with the fella I just drove 4 hours to meet. I can't tell you much about the drink prices, because I guess that as long as you're female and not a troll, you don't buy your own drinks often here. Other people bought my drinks all night. I had a lot of fun there... Even by myself. Friends were easy to make and everyone was so nice. The bar tender I drove to meet was an absolute dream. We flirted in between his banter with the guests and he quickly took orders of each person in line. At one point, he was able to take a smoke break and he surprised me with the best kiss of my life. I stayed till the bar closed and I left with him and stayed three days in Savannah. Three days of heaven wasn't enough, so I stole him and brought him back with me to Atlanta when I had to go home. We clicked immediately. His mother lives near me so we visited her and she sent us home with 75 tamales. Eventually I regretfully had to send my hot bar tender back to Savannah when it was time for his next shift, with a few tamales in hand, after the best week of my life. I'll definitely be back to sit on the left side of the bar, where it all began.... Because this is only the beginning...“

“It was really nice. Our waitress Brooke did her thing. The food and drinks was good“

“Kenzie is an absolute doll. She made sure to know our names to be able to address as so. I been to Savannah a lot of times. And I regret that it took until the 8th time to find this hidden gem. Very chill environment. If you get bothered with cigarette smoke, it's not for you, otherwise top knotch. It's like home away from home. We traveled from Biloxi Mississippi“

“great place for dancing and drinks on a Wednesday or a weekend. pool, darts, beer pong. come hang out, we will be there!“

“The place to be in Savannah, GA! One thing for sure is you are not going to go to Savannah Smiles and not enjoy every minute of it! Great live music, attentive & quick bartenders and the crowd participation is like no other! Always our first stop, last stop & favorite stop when visiting Savannah! :)“

“Authentic Israeli menu“

“Love this place! We went last night and our server was super friendly and very attentive. We had the angry shrimp appetizer and then the fried shrimp for two for dinner. Everything was delicious! Super laid back atmosphere and an extensive, well done menu. Ice cold beer and on the mark seafood. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
