50 Best Cocktail Bars in Savannah

“We were in for Brunch on March 1st 2025. We had the most cheerful bar keeper before being seated. Lunch was great, highly recommend!“

“We'd walked by twice and kept saying we needed to stop in. we were so glad that we did. The food was amazingly delicious and the service was friendly and fast. We'll definitely go back the next time we're in Savannah.“

“My daughter who’s 4, loves sushi! We always pick new places to try on our mommy and me dates, and let’s just say this place was perfect! Beautiful little restaurant. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. She had a volcano roll and I had the “Seoul-Mate” rice bowl. Both beautifully plated and tasted just as good! I highlight recommend!“

“Excellent service and craft cocktails!“

“Chill, low key, casually elegant… great drinks“

“had such a great time at this place! Such a great atmosphere! The staff are all awesome! Highly recommend! :)“

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

“We came here for Sunday breakfast/brunch and holy crap! It was so good! The biscuits are worth the wait alone! The decor is so unique, you can feel the history in the walls but it’s also been updated to a modern feel. The menu choices are expansive and may cause stress on which delicious item to pick! I really enjoyed my Bay Street Scramble, and the rest of my party enjoyed their breakfasts too! Service was pretty good, not super fast but it was also super crowded. We got in without a reservation in under 20 minutes which was great! Highly recommend!“

“The Lost Square and Alpine Village at the Alida Hotel provided a delightful experience. The food was delicious, drinks were great and service was excellent. The rooftop yurt, designed like a ski lodge, offers an intimate setting. The rooftop bar right outside the yurts is first come first serve and boasts beautiful scenery, heaters for colder days, and live music, making it a well-rounded and enjoyable venue. A friendly reminder to adhere to reservation times for the Alpine Village Experience as there’s a 90 minute reservation time and if you do not leave at the requested time, someone is waiting right outside the yurts and it throws everyone’s reservation off and it’s not only inconvenient for the guests but also the wait staff because they need to reset the yurt before you can be seated, which includes cleaning, sanitizing, new candles, blankets, etc. Recommend the Port City Spritz, which may be my new favorite drink, the ceviche, cheddar drop biscuits and the fried chicken. Make sure and add the S’mores bar as a final treat! The food was seriously my favorite part. Overall a great experience and I look forward to seeing what the Lost Square has next year for the holidays.“

“Been to this restaurant twice and it did not disappoint. Definitely my go to if I want to eat some amazing Cuban food! The only thing that sucks is parking isn’t the best.“

“Drink was good. Unique place with pretty views. It was rainy last night, so indoors was what was opened primarily. Friendly bartender and quick service. Good vibes. Was a nice place to talk and grab a drink, wasn’t loud, chill and relaxing.“

“Get a great view of the river from up Rocks on the Roof. Had a smashed burger with an espresso martini- both really good. My date had the Hush Puppies which she thought were excellent along with her Garden of Eden drink. Very good place to go while visiting Savannah.“

“I have never left a review before, but it was so good I have to. The service and food were both wonderful. I wish I could remember our servers name, but she gave great recommendations that were all SO good. The pork chop was the best I've ever had. We're on a mom-daughter's trip and my mom wasn't drinking, so she brought her a non-alcoholic champagne on the house and it was just so thoughtful. Highly recommend!“

“Cocktail class with Paul! So fun and learned lots too! 10/10 definitely would recommend!!“

“The Flatbread Pizza and Carrot Cake were Awesome!!!“

“Drinks and food were great! Entire staff was friendly and helpful“

“It's a small Bar with a Cheers kind of feel. Most of the people there are regulars. It's a mature crowd. The drinks are VERY reasonably priced and made pretty well by either bar tender. There is a pool table, a dart board, digital games, and they have live bands play from time to time and they do karaoke. Not big enough to provide food. But the Cannaboils(find on IG) pop up they once had on site..... AMAZIN food made to order. There is a reasonable amount of parking and a covered outdoor smoking area with some seating and fans.“

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

“My husband stayed at this hotel in February 2023, visiting our son who is a SCAD student and lives in the apartment right next to the The Bluff Hotel. He raved about the bartender and the lively conversations with other guests and the great service he had. I then travelled to Savannah in May 2023 to visit my son, and also had a great stay at The Bluff Hotel. I was able to meet Valeriia and also Ryan - who were welcoming, friendly, helpful, and lovely to talk to. My husband was right - great service and staff! And Valeriia makes a perfect gin martini!“

“Literally best dive bar in Savannah.. Good but cheap priced drinks & beer. Staff always amazing. Guest always with a hello. How are you? Let me buy you a drink.. good bands on Saturdays around 8/9pm Separate motorcycle parking against building. If you want a $2.50 domestics at 3pm on Saturday. This is a must.. Caution you may make new friends and have more than 1 beer …“

“5-Star Bartender Review

If you’re looking for the definition of exceptional service, look no further than Koda. From the moment we sat down, they made us feel welcomed, remembered our names, and kept the energy high all night. Every cocktail was perfectly crafted — balanced, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You could tell they knew their craft inside and out.

What stood out even more was his ability to manage a packed bar with ease — friendly, attentive, and quick without ever making you feel rushed. The vibe he created behind the bar made the whole night feel more like a celebration than just a drink out.

Hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. If you see Koda behind the bar, pull up a stool. You’re in for a great night.

Also ask for the off the menu banana split!!!!“

“My friends & I went in for a drink, they were delicious. We met Neil who works there & he gave us suggestions of where to eat. He change our whole trip by his suggestions & they were fabulous. Tequila Co. w/ Marco as our server & then Huckapoos for the best pizza.Thank you for the great drinks & experience.“

“Sunsets are beautiful here and sitting by the water very peaceful. Bar staff friendly and efficient. They have homemade food for free area ( crockpots & all ) for customers when we go in, not sure how often they do it. Maybe on weekend only. They also had popcorn.“

“Awesome experience. A couples must !“

“Loved our brunch during our visit to Savannah! Everything was delicious. Deviled egg appetizer was my favorite.“

“Celebrated my cousins 40th birthday tonight there and the food was PHENOMINAL the staff was INCREDIBLE. The atmosphere was on POINT. Will be returning customers for sure 10/10! 🥳🎈✨️“

“Looking to escape the touristy spots and hang out in a chill yet fun environment with great vibes? You've gotta hit this spot. Just people hanging out and having a great time, no pretension, and the BEST burger and fries around. I'm a massively picky burger person, but damn does this place nail it. An absolute gem of the Savannah area. Don't miss it!“

“Wow! We sat at the bar to enjoy the unlimited mimosas and they were so great. I got the crab cake benedicts....they ran out of fresh eggs was sad about that....the beet hollandaise was different but good, wished I asked for more. My husband had the steak and eggs. Steak was smoked and shredded apart...so yummy! We waited until the oysters were available...they were delicious! The atmosphere and staff here was so pleasant and peaceful. We weren't rushed away by the staff after sitting for 3 hours which was nice. My Husband and I enjoyed our date brunch! Definitely going to be our new brunch spot!“

“I’m traveling, staying in local hotel. I was in the mood for a burger, but not an average one. I ordered online. It was done exactly when it was supposed to be. And the burger was delicious. I’ll be returning tomorrow to try something else.“

“A friend and I had dinner there last night. The fried rice is the best I’ve ever eaten. It had a wonderful spicy kick. I also thoroughly enjoyed the orange chicken wings. It was some of the best culinary creations I’ve eaten in a long time. We also loved the unique atmosphere.“

“Went there two days in a row, great place to relax and have a glass of wine 🍷 The staff is super friendly 😎👍“

“Our Chef testing at the Common Restaurant was nothing short of spectacular! We were seated and presented with an anniversary card and complimentary Common logo pins. At the end of the meal we were given cute little boxes of ginger tea with the cutest little ginger bread cookies. Our meal started off with grilled bread and compound butter, appetizers were smoked oysters Rockefeller and mushroom bruschetta, we cleansed our pallets with a raspberry rhubarb, it was quit tart, and did the job. Out entrees were Grilled ribeye, southern smashed potatoes topped with mushroom gravy, served with baby broccoli, & smoked beef au jus and Shrimp and grits. Now, if you follow me, you know I’m very picky about my shrimp and grits and it’s very hard to find great shrimp and grits around here. We’ve only found one place who had outstanding shrimp and grits and that was a bbq place in Florida, FLORIDA you guys? I don’t even try to order them anymore cause it’s always a let down. However, I gave them a shot and OMG!!! y’all know I can get emotional over anything and the first bite brought a tear to my eye. I could hear the angels singing, hallelujah!! The flavor combination of these grits. The smoked Gouda just gave it the chef’s kiss. This is now, my new favorite place. I will be back, often. Our deserts were a hazelnut tart and espresso mousse with biscotti. The espresso mousse stole the show with deserts. This place should definitely be on your list to check out. Reserve a table so you don’t miss out. #savannahgeorgia #visitsavannah #anniversarycelebration #greatsavannahrestaurants“

“Quaint bar - part of Two Tides Delicious beer and they offer their own version of cocktails. Excellent service“

“Wonderful place and service. Love that it's part of the CreekFire RV Resorts to have a bite to eat without driving out and about to find a place. It's very convenient and has a nice store to shop in too. Very friendly, clean, and relaxing place to stay. Had a lake view site and was beautiful to see it every day while staying at this resort. The pool was not open yet as it was too cold at the time we were there. We would stay here again.“

“Great menu, fast service, fun venue“

“What a spectacular find! Bar Julian has the best views of the city and Savannah River. We enjoyed the mezze platter and margherita pizza. The whipped feta was divine!

The quiet atmosphere and views was the perfect getaway from the hustle of River Street.“

“drinks were very good, atmosphere was very nice“

“If you love a chocolate martini, this is the spot!!
I highly recommend the Milky Way martini, as it is absolutely divine.
Delicious, great vibes, and a kind staff, as they treated us to a strawberry for our honeymoon celebration. We will definitely be back to try some of the cakes and treats!“

“Highly recommend! Great atmosphere! Great staff!“

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

“my hubby and I enjoyed last night....."The Maze" first Friday. it was our first time there and it won't be the last. The music, Big E, the hostess Leslie and the whole vibe was awesome. Grown folks having a great time.......Loved it!“

“Total coolest find on our girls trip to Savannah. Friendly rooftop atmosphere with great service and fun vibe. Get yourself here!!“

“Laken, where do we even begin? She said it was her first week, but it seemed like she's been there for years. She made our date night so special and had an answer for every question, may it be menu related or Savannah related. Thank you so much for the beautiful experience.“

“Really enjoyed the carnitas and street corn. Place is authentic and welcoming. Portion sizes are great. Definitely will be coming back.

Parking: Right on MLK Blvd so it’s a little rough but was able to park across the street“

“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!“

“Hands down the best place I have eaten in Savannah. The salmon tacos were amazing and the sweet tea was phenomenal. Will definitely be returning!“

“Food and service was great.“

“delicious food, beautiful place“
