It’s not a tavern, but a restaurant - they only accept reservations and it is reserved seating at the “bar.” Some reviewers have referred to this place as a bar or speak easy, but it is really just an extension of the Pink House restaurant. If you’re looking for a drink before dinner, go somewhere else.

Absolutely perfect experience! The server was an foodie expert and charming story teller to boot! The ambience is historical, gorgeous and cozy! And the food and drinks were scrumptious! The piano player downstairs was wonderful and very engaging! Truly one of my favorite restaurants/ bars that I’ve ever been!

I wish I could give six stars for atmosphere. The the bar is in the basement of The Olde Pink House and features the brick walls, fireplaces and wooden beams of its 1771 basement. Unlike the restaurant above, which must be booked weeks in advance, the bar is walk-ins only. The menu is identical to the restaurant's. Service is renowned for excellence and very friendly. This is perhaps the best spot in town, if you like dark, cozy, friendly, historic and delicious. Bonus: there are two intimate private rooms that used to be vaults.

It was such a special experience. The atmosphere was really unique and intimate. Take a look at the decorations and paintings while you are there. The food and cocktails were amazing. Special thanks to the floor manager (Saturday 11/8) who ensured that we had a great experience. It was one of the most amazing dinners. Thank you!

Came for the music, stayed for the she crab soup! The pasta and dessert were both incredible as well.
Loved sitting at a table near the piano as the live music played. Happy I wasn’t directly next to the music, as that may have been a little too loud.
The build out was phenomenal, made me feel like I was in an old world tavern.
Highly recommend this place for anyone trying to have a jazzy night out!

Curt at the bar was amazing! Made us feel like an old friend even though we had just met. His hospitality and his knowledge of the food was spot on. When I return to Savannah, going to Planters Tavern will be a must visit. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Curt and the food and drinks are. Thank you!

Fantastic choice when you are unable to get into the main dining room at the Pink House. Planters Tavern in the cellar opens at five and we got in Line at 4:20 pm and were first in line at on a Saturday night in September. We were able to get cocktails to go at the bar inside and enjoyed them while we waited in line. We were greeted by John and service was excellent from John who checked in on us later and from the wait staff. Meals were exceptional and plenty of options at a range of prices. Chef’s fried chicken was one of the favorites along with the ravioli. Dark cellar with low lighting created a wonderful atmosphere. We had a wonderful bottle of wine at good price. Will definitely return every time we come to Savanah.

Just to the left and down the stairs of The Olde Pink House is the Planters Tavern. Stopped by on a weekday evening for a cocktail after hearing from a ghost tour the basement was haunted, particularly the bathroom that at times guests are unable to open the door to exit. We had a brief 5 minute wait before our seats at the bar were available. The facilities were clean and had no issues exiting. Drinks were delicious and service attentive and friendly. Stop by for good drinks and historic vibes.

Fascinating and intriguing downstairs tavern underneath the classic old pink house. We came here for cocktails and to enjoy the music. We loved the piano player as well as the wonderful woman who was the vocalist.. really fun vibe with great people and a classic speakeasy style of candle lit and private spaces within the tavern.
We had been looking forward to returning to Planter’s since we booked our hotel for Christmas holiday. We were lucky enough to get booked into the Vault; a small room that was originally the vault in the building when it was a bank. It was super cool, and made the occasion even more special. The food and wine were fantastic as expected, and the service provided by manager Kurt outstanding. We love this place and look forward to next time we visit.

We had a really good time at the Tavern, though it was a long queue to get in on Saturday, and the waitlist was over an hour and a half long. The young lady working the check in podium let us sit in the waiting area in front of the fireplace.
The staff was very professional, fast, and very friendly. Place was definitely extremely dark, and pretty cold since the AC was blowing directly on us. The drinks were all delicious, especially the specialty cocktails.
We also tried the fried green tomatoes, as well as the fried oysters. Both dish were incredible and both enough to share for 4 people. Price was obviously on the higher side, but to be expected for this famous local place. We will definitely be back again soon!

Stopped in for a few minutes before work, to go somewhere dim since the festivities where overwhelming, and to grab an appetizer. The fried green tomatos where delicious, the restroom was so creepy though I couldn't use it and had to go elsewhere after I finished. (It was very clean and well maintained, It was just how the figure in the portrait seemed to move a little as I was opening the door because of the lighting or something) The hostess and the gentleman who took care of me at the bar where also wonderful. I feel bad I forgot his name. 10/10 will be back with my dad.

We tried to eat at Olde Pink House Restaurant and there was a 2 hour wait on a Tuesday evening. We were able to get in and be seated in 30 minutes at Planters Tavern. It was fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere. They had live music. We had the best service.
