In a beautifully renovated space with pressed-tin ceilings and a gorgeous antique bar, this is the place to come for a bottle of wine or champagne by the glass. Recordings of jazz legends like Billie Holiday or Django Reinhardt are usually the soundtrack, and the bar area is filled with tucked-away nooks for couples on a date. The gastropub next door offers a full menu of French fare that can also be ordered late into the night. The gourmet burgers and the mussels are highly recommended.

This laid-back spot invites you to indulge your sweet tooth. Walking through the door, you're immediately greeted by a dessert case full of freshly baked specialties—try some of the homemade truffles. The menu also includes a spectacular list of specialty drinks, including champagne cocktails, chocolate martinis, and a modest selection of beer and wines. Warm up with an Irish coffee or the truly divine "drinkable chocolate," an especially fulfilling twist on hot chocolate.

Perched on top of Perry Lane Hotel, Peregrin offers the best view of the city's church steeples and architectural details on a lush, colorful patio. Revelers can play cornhole while sipping frosé (frozen rosé) or the planter's punch. Wine lovers will revel in the curated menu, and there's a small array of bites, like dill pickle dip and crab-and-shrimp lettuce wraps, if you're feeling peckish.

Lighted by flickering candles, this tavern in the basement of The Olde Pink House is one of Savannah's most romantic late-night spots. There's a talented piano player setting the mood, two stone fireplaces, and an array of fox-hunt memorabilia. The upstairs menu is available, with the same quality of service but a slightly less formal approach. The handful of tables fill up fast, but the staff will serve you wherever you find a spot.

This old-school watering hole is where the locals go for easy camaraderie and cheap drinks. Built in 1913, the handsome, fortress-like brick building is the birthplace of the "Mighty Eighth" Air Force, and the decor pays homage to those who've served. Pick up a friendly game of pool, or listen to wild stories on the smoker's balcony.

One of Savannah's most beautiful bars, Artillery is housed in a historic landmark built by a volunteer militia group of mounted rangers in 1896. Now, Daniel Reed Hospitality embraces 18th-century-style and modern design elements in its sumptuously restored space. Settle in and buzz a waiter with the push of a call button to order from the expansive wine list, the classic cocktail menu (they make an excellent Manhattan), or the contemporary cocktail selection (Bit of a Pickle is an unusually delicious choice with gin, lemon, white balsamic vinegar, cucumber, dill and cracked pepper.) Expert drinks and great conversation are champion here, and proper attire is a must (no cut-offs, tank tops; flip-flops strongly discouraged; no hats)—and make sure you silence your phone once inside.

In the center of Congress Street's bustling nightlife scene, Barrelhouse South offers live music most nights of the week. Packed on the weekends with an enthused mix of bohemian and professional twenty- to thirtysomethings, the crowds dance the night away to bands playing covers and originals that range from funk and R&B to rock. Shoot a round of pool at the second bar in the basement.

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.

Savannah's mainstay gay bar offers three levels of fun: drag shows and occasional burlesque and theater productions upstairs; dance parties on the main floor; and a relaxing spot for conversation or karaoke in the basement bar. Although the decor is a little tacky, the scene is wildly fun when the lights go down and the music starts.

This is the place to be if you're trying to catch the big game. Although it's a few miles east of downtown, Coach's Corner serves burgers and other traditional pub grub and is known for some of the best wings in all of Savannah. Check their Facebook page for the occasional live music offerings.

Part sports bar, part music venue, the Congress Street Social Club is always jam-packed on weekend nights. Enjoy drinks and street eats right off the grill on the patio, dance to live music or a DJ inside, or play a round of pool in Social's basement. For a more laid-back experience, stop by on a weekend afternoon for nibbles, beer, and dogspotting on the patio.

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.

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.

You may see Ghost Coast products around Savannah at various bars (ask if you don't), but if you are interested in visiting the distillery's Cocktail Room, it's open Thursday through Sunday, crafting cocktails from the distillery's own products. You can also sample small-batch spirits that aren't available elsewhere. But it closes early, so this is not a destination for night owls.

This place was once a strip club, and the original stripper pole still hangs horizontally above the bar. The owner gave the space a warm, homey feel, creating the bar out of metal shavings from a machine shop. On weekends this is a big hangout for young hipsters who like cheap beer and live rock music. The staff is friendly, and the jukebox is awesome.

Offering the warm vibe of a down-home, 1970s-era watering hole with an expertly crafted cocktail menu, Lone Wolf has quickly become the anti-hipster hangout, far from the madding crowd. Choose from a refreshing mix of high and low beverages, from a cold Schiltz for a couple bucks to a house cocktail made by some of Savannah's best bartenders for under $10. Toss back a Fernet or sip a Zippah, an invigorating crisp mix of gin, absinthe, and lemon with a touch of earthiness. A mix of townies, students, and neighborhood folks gather around the wood-paneled bar and booths and nosh on dinner from the food trucks frequently parked outside. The pandemic year 2020 brought an expansion, allowing for more seating and an extra bar when things get busy—which they do on weekend nights.

This Scottish pub is a must for Scotch lovers, who'll find a selection of more than 100 single malts. Well-prepared Scottish and American specialties include bangers and mash and fish-and-chips. Local rock bands and singer-songwriters perform Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Stop by the original location near City Market or venture out to Molly's Richmond Hill and Pooler outposts.

Tucked away in a strip mall, this shady oasis offers indoor and outdoor bars, trivia nights, and live music on Fridays. A full menu and creative cocktail lineup make it a great place to gather with friends, watch the big game, or just while away the evening.

Offering an old-school dive vibe without the grime, Moodright's is a sweet place to gather for a game of pool, a few rounds of duckpin bowling (like real bowling, only smaller), or to just nurse your favorite beer in one of the comfy vinyl booths. Monday is Bingo Night, and if you're intrigued by the duckpin bowling, check out the pros on Wednesday league nights.
