Fantastic
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.
Beautiful tavern with great drinks! The blackened oysters were amazing!

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.

So I don't even know where to begin with how amazing this restaurant and experience were! We walked in a little after 5 because we couldn't get a reservation for the Olde Pink House upstairs, and we sat at the bar. We were greeted by our bartenders and the manager (all very nice gentlemen). We started with the "Pink lady" and a jalapeño margarita to drink and ordered the fried jalapeno popper Mac and cheese bites for our appetizer. My husband got the pork shank, and it was like butter. It was absolutely delicious, and I went on the lighter side with the fruit and cheese plate. The cheese plate is served with GRIT CHIPS, the single best thing ever created. The one food I didn't know I needed I dipped them in the honeycomb, and they were to die for. The best part, however, was the BISCUITS, the BEST, hands-down. This was a 1000/10 experience, and I recommend anyone who can't make it upstairs to go anyway. You never feel less than royal. Thank you, Olde Pink House and Planters Tavern! Savannah is better because of you!

Great place to go for food or a drink. It was busy so a reservation is a good idea. They share a kitchen with The Olde Pink House and the food was fantastic. I asked the bartender for advice and John suggested the Flounder. It was delicious. John continued with great service for the rest of the evening. Overall wonderful experience

An absolutely phenomenal meal with excellent service! This is one of the best spots in the city and has all the hype for a reason. It feels like you're aboard a pirate ship down there! Highly highly recommend. We got the grouper special and it was out of this world! The she crab soup was also incredible.

If you like live music, the possibility of meeting amazing travelers as well as locals, and a wide selection of drinks, this is the place.
Kenny, the piano man, kept us singing and chatting all night.
The whole town is amazing, but this was a highlight for sure.
*Be aware: It is very dark in here. The lighting is by candle and some small lights here and there. No one will judge if you need your flashlight to see the menu.

One of my favorite spots in the world that I keep coming back to. Such an incredibly cool, underground candelight spot. Food and cocktails are top notch and so is the service! Our waitress last night, Maggie, was a rock star. Looking forward to my next visit.
