Housed within a former armory storehouse built in 1896, this swanky cocktail lounge is ready to take you back in time. No matter what spirits move you – wines, contemporary and classic cocktails, craft beer, vodka, bourbon, scotch, tequila, whiskey, rye and oh-so-much more – this expertly curated lounge has the finest version.

Alley Cat
Nestled under a Broughton Street business, this basement boasts over 150 classic and original cocktails handcrafted from fresh ingredients and house infusions. Whether your tastes favor a simple beer and a shot or you demand the heights of top shelf spirits - they have over 500 to choose from - this speakeasy has you covered.
Brewery & Distillery
Service Brewing
Founded by a West Point grad/former Army commander and his SCAD graduate wife, Service Brewing was launched with the help of almost two dozen investors – most of them Army, Navy and Marine Corps vets. This stunning taproom pays homage to our nation’s military history while also offering the perfect spot to sip a beer, take a brewery tour or practice yoga on the last Saturday of every month.
Ghost Coast
Celebrate the spirit of Savannah at the city’s first distillery since just before prohibition. Whether you choose to take a tour or sip a cocktail at their bar, this is a rich opportunity to embrace and celebrate our city’s unique past and its vibrant – and delicious – future.
Dive Bars
The Rail Pub
Located in what used to be known as Savannah's Red Light district, this former brothel and boarding house was named the best dive bar in the U.S. by Bar and Nightclub Magazine. This Congress Street favorite is the home of the $4 forty, free fried chicken Fridays, karaoke every night and a day drink happy hour that starts when the bar opens and lasts until 7 PM Monday to Friday. Plus – pigs’ feet and pickles.

Rooftop Bar
The Grove
Screaming summer vibes, “The Grove” is the ideal place for anyone who is looking to drink & dine in a sophisticated, yet casual way. A menu just the right size with just the right items (blackened bacon-wrapped shrimp? YUM!!) as well as homemade cocktails, promise to enhance your experience of the panoramic view overseeing Savannah’s bustling City Market. Don’t miss Happy Hour M-F at 5-7pm!
The Lost Square
Located right on the river, “The Lost Square” doesn’t only sound dreamy… it is exactly that! We suggest going at sunset to enjoy a menu of signature craft cocktails, and shareable plates - a variety of tartines seem to be a focus, and offer a delicious option for all preferences. The drink menu is expansive, innovative, and changes seasonally. This really is a place with a variety of taste buds in mind ;).
Rocks On The Roof
This is a favorite amongst Savannah locals – offering globally inspired foods and beverages, “ Rocks On The Roof” is determined to provide an unforgettable experience. The menu is inspired by varieties of cultures that were left behind from ship crews docking at the Port of Savannah. Consequently, the plate offerings prove to be Southern comfort food with a surprising (and delicious) twist - we personally cannot get over the Gouda Grilled Cheese with roasted squash, and pickled shallots.
Peregrin
Think Polo-Game without the horses: This sophisticated roof-top bar promises Southern elegance, and never (ever) ceases to disappoint. With a dedicated drink menu and shareable plates, “Peregrin” is the perfect place to dress up nicely, and enjoy an afternoon drink overlooking Savannah. We love the seating arrangements that make it easy for small and big parties to lay back, and recharge from a busy day – all of this with a beautiful view over the city.
