Mata Hari's Speakeasy

I was very disappointed! I was looking forward to come to this place because I heard alot about it, but I was disappointed by the way the manager who is a black man looked at me and told me that he can't let me in because I had on fatigue jeans on. My outfit was Ralph Lauren from top to bottom. But meanwhile I seen 2 ladies coming out with sweatpants on, but yet I wasn't going to be able to enter because of my jeans. Meanwhile my outfit is had on was about $2500.00 😕!! It left a bad taste in my mouth but I still needed to see this place and when I said you don't know who i am, but I create content and then he paused and saw what my wife had on and saw her face, that he said ok come inside and we went inside and we sat and waited for someone to welcome us and we looked at the menu and it didn't look appealing. The ambiance wasn't what I expected it to be. I was very disappointed 😞..I will definitely not be back, even if they pay me to come back, just don't wear fatigues, better off with sweatpants 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️!! If you are a lady I guess, or something 😉 else IYKWIM. I give it a 0/10 if this is on your bucket list, better off going to Congress Street UP.

I really was excited to check out Mata Hari’s as I love a good speakeasy. The decor was dark and very prohibition style which I loved but unfortunately that’s where it ended.

The doorman was rude, the bartender was rude and the drinks were overpriced and not up to standard for the price. We were ready to close out and the bartender said she doesn’t close tabs and looked at the other bartender, then asked who needed a drink. Also, the women’s room had no soap! Just a huge bottle of Purel next to the sink and no paper towels!

Not impressed. Won’t return on future trips to Savannah.

Our party didn't eat here, so therefore I leave no rating. Service for drinks was fine. We were there for the Burlesque show presented by the Downtown Delilah's. The show as great.

I’ve seen the show twice in the past and it was good. This time! It was terrible. You saw the host more than you saw the performers. The couple behind me whispered several times that the show was terrible. The woman next to me laid her head on her husband and closed her eyes. I walked out while the host was talking as he had been up there 12 minutes. It was as if they did not practice enough numbers to fill the time so used the host as filler.

I wouldn’t go back.

This was a huge mistake. The bartender was so overwhelmed, you waited 15 - 20 minutes to get drinks. The show started 15 minutes late. The first number was more like a strip show and they didn't coordinate at all. Individually, the numbers were better but still lackluster compared to other shows I've seen. The emcee was pretty funny, definitely the best part of the experience.
The place is cute and clean but service was awful and not her fault. She needed help. The amount of tickets purchased should've alerted them of the crowd size. Extremely disappointed, would not recommend.

Absolutely loved George the bartender!!! Gave us history without the bore and made a drink that was wonderful... The only thing I would say needs to occur is to clean the carpet in there lol but other than that awesome place to visit😊

I’ve been to several speakeasies over the years and this was the most disappointing. The drinks were lacking, the atmosphere felt old with mismatched furniture, a hole in the wall, and ripped pool table. Downtown Delilah’s was about the only plus to the whole experience.

We did not eat. Just the bar and the show. And it was incredible.

Not a great speakeasy. I think the best way to illustrate it is it’s a place that doesn’t carry Cointreau or Grand Marnier… only triple sec. Then when we asked for a Manhattan, we also learned they were out of sweet vermouth. Get the picture? It’s not a craft cocktail kindof spot…

Very unclear dress code. The bouncer was very rude to our friend. He told him no Jersey’s, so he put on our friends sweater and then told him no name brand shirts since it said a city and state on the front. We get in and then harassed him about wearing a hat even though there were other men wearing a hat in there. We left and will never come back. Not worth the disrespect, they obviously don’t need the business.

The atmosphere of this place has really went down over the last few years. The brightest spot is the door man. He’s great.

Good drinks, the burlesque show was cheeky but fun! The host of the show was the best part!

A joke for a speakeasy. unclear rules in terms of dress code. I have never been to establishment where a woman could not have her hair covered but I was harassed by the bouncer twice for wearing a beret. I asked the bartender about dress code and she said the hat rule only applies to men. We got our drinks and sat down and the bouncer consistently harassed us. We got up and left. Don’t waste your money here when there are several other good bars to go to.

We came in on a 37 degree night in January checked in at the door, ordered drinks and then were told by the bouncer (we just checked in at the door with) that we had to take off our beanie caps. My wife who is dealing with hair loss from medical treatments refused. When we asked there was no reason other,than the owner doesn’t allow it. We were pretty stunned so we double checked with the bartenders and they replied the dress code only applies to men. We got our drinks sat down and were approached again and they made us feel terrible. We left right away, didn’t even take a sip of our drinks. Couldn’t get a refund after paying 80 dollars a piece for entry for the burlesque show. Mind you we double checked the dress code and it stated that baseball caps weren’t allowed not beanies or berets. Don’t waste your money
