50 Best Bars near Wilmington Island

“Everyone is super friendly 😊“

“The atmosphere at Late Air is exceptional. No matter the season, a chill in the air, or sweltering humidity, the ambiance is Hot and Chill! The wine is like no other in the region sourced from near and far. I am told that in most cases the wineries are visited by the owners and operators Madeline and Colin. This greatly adds to the mystic because if you are lucky enough to be there when they are (which is highly likely), they may tell you a heartfelt story of how that particular wine made its way to Savannah and your palette. The food pairings are of a level of sophistication yet approachable. The menu changes often so make certain to follow them in insta and FB for the current offerings. Cheers!“

“This place is amazing. Food and drinks are great and reasonable. The service is excellent, a special shout out to Morgan and Sephora. The guitarist during happy hour is a special treat.“

“I recommend the Hot ‘Rita and wings!! April was my bartender and she was nothing short of AMAZING! So friendly and attentive. And the woman can rock some dranks! I was in town to visit my long time friend, Amaris, one of the soon to be Jupiter, FL location managers. Awesome vibe, great place, and wonderful people. Make sure to stop in the Savannah, GA location!“

“VIBING! After you’ve enjoyed the tourist filled Savanah riverfront area, make your way toward midtown to find a whole new groove. Lone Wolf Lounge is a cool spot to stop for a drink or two. Enjoy retro surroundings and great cocktails as you mix with the Savanah locals. Cheers 🍻 Vern“

“Cocktails were fantastic, good selection of liquors and the atmosphere was great. My only critique (complaint?) was the higher than expected drink prices. I’ve paid $20 for a cocktail, but that was in Chicago and NYC. That aside, I’ll still be back!“

“Visited here on a Saturday around lunchtime. The bartender was welcoming and nice enough to let my husband and I bring our two dogs into the bar. He even provided them with a bowl of water. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and our drinks. We will definitely visit again the next time we're in Savannah!“

“Great hang. Fun hang with the locals.“

“Stumbled into this place as it was near Boomy’s where we ate superb Thai hot drunken noodles, glad we did. Super awesome jams on their playlist - most we sang along - attentive bartenders and affordable cold beers. Wish we could’ve hung out longer.“

“Colin,Tres, Becca, Becca. food. drinks and really nice,nice patrons.“

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

“I came in here and the Bartender Emily absolutely made our night!! She knows how to make a good drink and is amazing!!“

“Really a great place....and the cocktails were amazing! Makay was the bomb bartender!!!!“

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

“Great bartender and cold beer“

“Cool place, came here because I’ve heard they have the best burger and fries in Savannah. Their burger is nothing special, smaller patties not smashed and well done.

Their fries on the other hand are the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Perfect in every way.“

“Moodright’s In a place down yonder called Moodright’s, where dreams collide, Artists, motorcyclists, athletes side by side, For here, the lines blur between right and wrong, Yet still, the mood lingers, enchanting and strong. In this haven, talk and passions take flight, Colors dance on canvases, vibrant and bright, Motorcycles rev, engines hum with desire, Athletes push boundaries, fueling the fire. But it's not just the talents that hold this place, It's the spirit of camaraderie, a warm embrace, For conversations can mean nothing or all, Fleeting connections, yet they never truly fall. A pal you thought, yet not what they seem, The tapestry of relationships, twisted and gleam, But still, the ambiance feels just right, Where it doesn't matter if you're wrong or right. In a hazy corner outside, where whispers roam, A stranger found solace, far from his home. With a cigarette poised between his fingertips, He sought refuge from life's unyielding grip. Cigarette embers danced, casting shadows long, Illuminating tales of the weak and the strong. These revelations, passed through a veil of smoke, Forging an unlikely bond beneath midnight's cloak. A leather vest, adorned with symbols galore, A testament to the bonds they both wore. For in this realm where outsiders converge, A vest becomes armor, an investment to preserve. No judgment or scorn, just the comfort to share, In this ephemeral confine, devoid of despair. And as the melodies of a rad song ring, The stranger's beside you begin to sing. For in the tang of smoke and tales untold, Lies a sense of belonging that never grows old. So they spoke of dreams, of triumph and strife, Of love found and lost, of the battles of life. But as the cigarette dwindled, the night drew to close, The moments of solace, like fading prose. Yet the conversations they shared will forever survive, Like wisps of smoke, in memories they thrive. So remember, as you stride along, That stories untold have a place to belong. In the stranger's ear, secrets find their release, And in the hushed moments, connection finds peace.“

“Wonderful place let me use the bathroom while drunk and even wanted to let me wait on my Uber inside the bar, but I was with my brother“

“By far the best selection of craft beers and an awesome staff who serves them..“

“Such a cool vibe! Jason is an incredible bartender and will take amazing care of you! The daiquiri is amazing!!! They have fun vintage arcade games to play with your friends as well.

Parking: A lot of on street parking, can be a pain depending on the day.“

“love fox!! great place!!!“

“The only food they have here is popcorn! Which is popped regularly by the bartender and on this day Kimberly was our bartender who done a phenomenal job taking care of us!!

This is our first time in Tybee Island, and we stopped in here to watch a football game and have a drink and have been thoroughly impressed by the great service!

We eat out and drink about five nights a week and there are very few people who take care of you to the level that Kimberly does.“

“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.“

“The view is breathtaking! It mesmerized our guests. They actually had to stop and look around and admire the beauty of the port from the outlook of Bar Julian. The server that day was was very thoughtful as this was a business meeting, she let us have our time with no interruptions!! And we then enjoyed our lovely drinks and meal. Highly recommend!“

“drinks were very good, atmosphere was very nice“

“Very nice hotel. I recommend this to everyone.“

“Such a fun Bar with great drinks and friendly service.“

“This tiki bar is pure vibes. From the moment you walk in, you’re transported, colorful lights, bamboo decor, and island tunes set the perfect mood. It’s charming without trying too hard, with every corner giving off that laid-back, beachy energy.

The drinks? Tropical yum. Think playful garnishes and just the right kick. Whether you’re into classic Mai Tais or adventurous house specials served in funky tiki mugs, they’ve got you covered.

The staff was warm and welcoming, adding to the cozy, festive feel. It’s the kind of place where you can sip, laugh, and forget what time it is.“

“homaphobic said my gay friend cam had an incurable std which for a gay man is the equivalent of telling him he had aids. didnt give an apology or anything after being brought up to the owner.“

“Excellent bar with a positive, fun atmosphere, attentive, quick, personable bartenders that want you to have a great time in their lovely bar!!! I highly recommend this bar to tourists and locals alike.“

“We were in Savannah for my best friend’s 30th birthday and we went into several bars but Bonnie was our favorite part about Savannah! Her daughter & her work very well together in a very busy atmosphere, best bar in general & Karaoke was definitely a bonus. You can’t miss it! It’s the only bar that looks like the life of the town!“

“clean, comfortable, and friendly! its that place where everyone knows your name. karaoke, billiards, trivia They have it all! come make friends!“

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

“Amazing bar. Rachel is a top notch bartender. We really hope management takes her crown to heart and makes one for all the bar staff. We felt it really made Rachel stand out. The scepter bottle opener was also a really nice touch. She made us feel like royalty and everyone took very good care of us and worked together as an awesome team. Meridian was also wonderful. The food was fantastic and the drinks were expertly made. My wife and I look forward to our next visit to the Westin Savannah and Midnight Sun.“

“We stopped by Monday as we were exploring downtown. We went up to the rooftop bar. Ian Phillips was our bartender and he absolutely made for a great and memorable experience. We had some amazing cocktails and his knowledge and stories about cocktails, Savannah, and life were a treat.“

“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!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite after a day at Tybee Island Beach.

We were nicely greeted and
all was good.
Food, service and atmosphere.

There are roughly a dozen tv screens along the perimeter.

Mini golf.“

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

“Come to Tybee for a quick get away. Stopped Nickie's for dinner, was not disappointed!!! Our server, Lundsey was awesome, food was good, & the live music was great!!! We will definitely be back!!!“

“Oak 36 Bar + Kitchen is a great option when you want something modern and relaxed without heading downtown. The vibe is stylish yet comfortable — perfect for a casual happy hour or an easy dinner with friends.

We stopped in for happy hour and were impressed with the quality and value. The wood-fired meatballs were absolutely delicious, served with crusty bread for dipping, and paired perfectly with their cocktails. The espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had — smooth, rich, and beautifully presented.

The space itself is inviting with plenty of seating, a great bar setup, and friendly staff who make the experience easy and enjoyable. Our bartender was especially informative, taking time to explain drink options and specials, which made the visit even better. I also love that they offer 50% off bottles of wine on Saturdays — such a fun reason to stop in with friends.“

“Welcoming vibe, good people“

“great place for dancing and drinks on a Wednesday or a weekend. pool, darts, beer pong. come hang out, we will be there!“

“Dude, this bar was seriously awesome! The drinks were amazing and cheap. Service was great even though it was packed on Saturday night. Tons of pool tables and karaoke (not sure if it's every night, though). Only downside? The bathroom was disgusting. They left the men's room door open so the smell wouldn't kill anyone but turns out it was the 1st thing anyone would see entering this bar.“

“It was really nice. Our waitress Brooke did her thing. The food and drinks was good“

“I’m not the type of person to go to bars a lot, but Smiles was awesome! I came here to celebrate my best friend’s bachelorette. The vibes, the atmosphere, and the music were so much fun to listen to and watch. I also bought a Smiles t-shirt because I wanted to remember the good times I had celebrating my bestie’s bachelorette!

Although I don’t drink, our server was friendly and efficient. She even took the time to get some water for me and one other bridal party member since both of us don’t drink. If you don’t drink, then there’s plenty of nonalcoholic options like soda and lemonade :)“

“Best little bar on Tybee Island we come here every time we are in the area friendly staff and cheap beer Jell-O shot are worth the 2$.“

“After a long, fun-filled day at the beach celebrating my son’s 7th birthday, we were all feeling pretty tired and hungry — and this restaurant turned out to be the perfect place to end our day. The food was absolutely fantastic — every bite was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was our waitress, Mandy. Mandy was simply amazing. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and personal, taking the time to make us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. She went above and beyond to help make our son’s birthday feel special, and her kindness and energy brought a smile to all of our faces — even after a long, sandy day at the beach. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the service are equally top-notch, but this restaurant nailed it. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we could come back. Huge thanks to Mandy and the whole team for making a special day even more memorable!“
