Savannah Bar Guide
30+ bars across Savannah's drinking neighbourhoods, curated by editors who know the city.
Savannah is America's most walkable bar city. The Historic District's open-container law means you carry your drink between squares. The Chatham Artillery Punch (rum, brandy, gin, champagne) has been served since 1819. River Street's heritage warehouse bars run along the Savannah River. Artillery is the new James Beard-quality cocktail room.
Five neighbourhoods cluster the action. The Historic District is the open-container square spine. Starland is the indie creative-class quarter. Downtown wraps Forsyth Park. Eastside is the residential cocktail-room district. Thomas Square is the small-bar neighbourhood quarter.
Cocktails run $11 to $14. Tipping is 20 percent. Most bars run to 2am, weekend bars to 3am. Order to-go cups for the squares — bring your drink with you.
