5 Best Nightlife in Savannah, Georgia

Barrelhouse South

In the center of Congress Street's bustling nightlife scene, Barrelhouse South offers live music most nights of the week.

Casimir's Lounge

Historic District

This sleek nightspot regularly features live jazz, blues, and acoustic stylings. The decor is luxe, perhaps even a bit over-the-top. There's a great balcony on the side where you can have a drink while enjoying a view of lovely Forsyth Park.

Dollhouse Studios

Historic District

Besides being home to its own recording studio, this 1940s-era factory building hosts fashion, art, and live music events. Run by a young couple hailing from New York City, the place attracts up-and-coming and known national touring artists alike, including some big names like Art Garfunkel. The vibe is offbeat and indie, a mirrored stage and hipster patrons, all in an expansive old warehouse with impressive high ceilings and exposed brick walls. It's open only when there's a show, so check the calendar.

El-Rocko Lounge

Historic District
This trendy, 1970s-inspired nightclub, adorned in vintage decor, golden lighting, and authentic pachinko machines, serves a variety of audiences. At happy hour, you'll find young professionals enjoying a barrel-aged cocktail, conversation, and punching requests into the analog jukebox. After the sun sets, catch local and touring rock, hip-hop, and indie acts onstage. Late night, students flood the space to dance beneath the golden disco ball until last call.

The Warehouse

Historic District

An old-school dive bar that claims to have "the coldest beer in town," the Warehouse's River Street location means more tourists than locals. The service is friendly, and lots of different local bands play everything from original rock and country to classic covers. The kitchen serves Southern standbys if you get a hankering for something to snack on.
