“Casey is an amazing bartender. She took great care of me and my friend the entire night. She’s so friendly and attentive that you’d honestly think she was part of our friend group. Her energy made the whole experience even better — kind, genuine, and just fun to be around. Definitely one of the best bartenders I’ve met!“

“Great bar with even better bartenders !“

“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!“

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

“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 …“

“Went to see the free comedy show. Had a blast. Laughed while we enjoyed our drinks. Music and games added to the fun atmosphere. We will definitely be going back.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! Oysters were delicious, scallops were so tender, key lime pie was best we have had! Drinks were so good! Our server was phenomenal, Michael, asked us questions to see what we liked, then based his recommendations on this, he was so intelligent, enjoyed his personality! If you want a great eating experience, make reservations and enjoy!🩷“

“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!“

“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.“

“Incredible cocktail bar with exceptional service.
The guy out front did all the right things to pull us in... and we are so glad he did! The bartender was social and put the “craft” in the craft cocktail bar. Awesome, personable service. Very reasonable prices.
Joe and Vera’s made us feel like home!

The espresso martini and old fashioned were perfect. Such a good stop!“

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

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

“Awesome experience. A couples must !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was nothing special. Had to send one of the meals back because it was totally unacceptable. They were surprised it was served like that and did apologize for it and made it right. By the time they brought it back, though, the rest of us were done with our meals.“

“Went for a rooftop brunch on a Saturday.Above (no pun intended)and beyond our expectations.The ambience is so cool and welcoming.The 3 course brunch was at a good price point @38$.Food, cocktail list and servers were top notch.Bonus live entertainment!!!“

“I had the tuna poke tostada, and it was absolutely delicious. I have never had a concoction like this always more Asian flavors. It was creamy crunchy and the Valentina hot sauce on the bar just kicked it over the top.

Rock on Bull Street taco!

“Our third year at Creekfire. It's absolutely wonderful having a dining area in the property to go to. The food is delicious and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel special (I even had happy birthday sung to me by a trained opera singer two years ago!!)

We've enjoyed several meals there, highly recommend the fish. We have only had issues with one meal and the staff went above and beyond to rectify the problem.

A definite highlight to our Creekfire stays!!“

“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.“

“This place is awesome! The staff are fun, friendly, and make amazing cocktails. Lucky makes a DELICIOUS espresso martini!! The speakeasy vibe is fun! We went both nights we were in town. Mickey, Bugsy, Cosmo & Lucky really made the night remarkable. Highly recommend!!!“

“Palmer was our first introduction to Savannah (other than the airport). Her attentiveness, sense of humor and helpful hints kicked off our trip perfectly.“

“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.“

“drinks were very good, atmosphere was very nice“

“Celebrated Mother's Day at Bar Julian. Amazing views of Savannah River, great food and cocktails, service was exceptional, friendly and well-paced. Shout out to our server Shelby who made our visit that much more perfect! Parking available - nearby garage or hotel valet. We lucked out with a spot on the street. Highly recommend Bar Julian.“

“The atmosphere is very dark and sexy located at the bottom of the Alida Hotel. The service was friendly, but sometimes could lack attention. But the food quality surpasses everything, and it is definitely worth a visit. The prices are not that high you would spend just as much money as going to a P.F. Chang's or a Cheesecake Factory. This was a little bit too salty for me but for the appetizer we got CRISPY CALAMARI BANANA PEPPERS, CALABRIAN CHILIS, PARSLEY, CILANTRO, ROSEMARY AIOLI. My main entree was the best burger I have ever had. It was the first time I could eat a burger without it sliding off the bun. From the bun to the sauce to the cheese and pickles everything was perfection. RHETT SMASH BURGER TWO BEEF PATTIES, AMERICAN CHEESE, RED ONION, PICKLES, NORFOLK SAUCE, OLD BAY FRIES. And dessert was just okay for me to much cream not enough banana. BANANA PUDDING WAFERS, VANILLA PUDDING, CREAM“

“Hidden gem! I was in town for a couple of days and I'm always have to find a tiki bar. I spotted this place online and I have to say, it is fantastic! BEAUTIFUL decor, tasty drinks and has a high end tiki feel. It was surprisingly not busy. A few people at the bar, but we had our choice of tables. We caught the last of happy hour and then I went to the menu. We already had dinner so I didn't get any of the food but the drinks were very tasty. The truth of it is I was surprised that it was as empty as it was but I'm not complaining because we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Granted, we were there in offseason and I could only imagine what it would be like during season. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a great Tiki bar or just a unique experience. I bought one of their custom Tiki mugs to add to my extensive collection too! They also sell really cool Mai Tai glasses and zombie glasses. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Savannah.“

“we ate there for dinner. tried a few different dishes, the pork belly guacamole was awesome. they have. large selection of tacos, burritos, quesadillas and much more for build your own. i had a scallop taco it was delicious. wife had rib tacos kids had shrimp quesadillas. the options to customize was great too. the coconut flan and tres leches was the "icing on the cake " it was all around delicious“

“Great menu, fast service, fun venue“

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

“Great place to dance and enjoy yourself“

“Very expensive. The desserts were delicious though luckily!

There wasn’t another soul in there when we were there. We wanted to sit down & eat our dessert but that requires you to have a server? So we didn’t really ask & just went outside & ate our desserts after asking for them to-go.“

“Can’t remember what their names were but the 2 guys that worked the night of 8/17/24 were phenomenal customer service men. I could go on and on but the fact that my husband and I, along with another couple showed up at the last 5 mins before closing, and was pleasantly served as if it was 5:00 pm, with patients and servitude. We were really impressed.We will be sure to stop by for a cold drink whenever we visit Savannah ❤️“

“We had a beautiful dinner here tonight. The Fried Chicken Caprese and Short Rib plate were both amazing! The Banana bread pudding dessert was out of this world. The service was spot on. We hope to come back on our next visit to Savannah!“

“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!“

“Highly recommend! Great atmosphere! Great staff!“
