Though one of the oldest continuously running bars in Savannah, this is not a craft cocktail bar. It's a local, down to earth hangout! I only came in for a to-go drink and to take some photos. The door guy was laid back and cool. I walked right in, the bartender was super warm and friendly. Greeted me immediately. I asked for something refreshing without specifying a particular drink (keep in mind, it's simple here, nothing fancy). He poured me something fruity, but not too sweet, tasted great. Handed me my receipt with a smile and exchanged pleasantries. I spent several minutes admiring and snapping pics of the different Abraham Lincoln drawings. You could tell the patrons were all people from town and were all friends. You could also tell any of them would invite you to their table at any time! The Abe drawings are all over the place--radical, whimsical, silly, ridiculous, bizarre. I had fun taking some pics for instagram. This is the kind of place where everybody knows your name and they are always glad you came. Dive bar gem in Savannah.

A fun bar with great bartenders and a laid back vibe! We had to draw an Ave for the wall when we were there!

When you visit Savannah... and you are 'of age'... definitely make a stop here. Super chill, Super cool joint. Small but with a great vibe. I love all the different drawings of Abe. And if you don't finish your drink... just pour it in a plastic to-go cup before exiting.

Been wanting to go here forever and finally had a chance to check out Abe's on Lincoln. You know those nights when you have tried all the fancy restaurants and bars in the city and you just want a simple beer with a great atmosphere. Well this is it! Inside is very unpretentious and the first thing you will notice is all the little pieces of paper with hand drawn versions of Lincoln on them. While some of them are crude drawings that your little nephew could have drawn, lot of them look like piece of art from former SCAD students. The drinks are cheap and the bartenders are quick and everybody seemed to be having a good time.

Awesome little dive bar in Savannah! The walls are covered in hand drawn pictures of Lincoln, some that are really impressive and creative. Bartender was friendly and my group thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Savannah and looking for an authentic bar to hang.

A very small historical bar, although not much to see here historically wise. Great drinks and worth stopping in to escape the heat!

Alagash!

Such a fun stop! It is really busy, but they are quick to get you a drink. It's small, but quaint. You can take your drink to go if you can't find a spot to sit. It's worth going in. Seeing all the drawings was fun and the vibe is great.

We love a great dive bar- and this is a great dive bar. Small, cozy, a million Abe Lincoln drawings. Friendly staff. No food- but that's to be expected.

My finished masterpiece and others

What a neat place!!! It's a local dive atmosphere small bar. The bartender Steve was awesome! Many previous patrons have drawn their "version" of Abe Lincoln. Clearly the theme. You're handed a small paper & pencil to draw away at will. After you're done you get to post your masterpiece on the wall or ceiling. Casual and comfortable. Would definitely come back. We had a blast here!!

I ADORE a dive bar! And this one had a theme - Abe Lincoln. Makes sense given where the bar is located on lincoln in Savannah, GA. Everything you would expect from a diver bar - noisy, super busy (we got there around 10ish or so), lots of customers moving around the bar, scattering of tables, going for a smoke outside. The big thing about this bar is the many, many, many customer drawings and sketches of Abraham Lincoln in a variety of looks, places, speech bubbles. Drawings lined the walls, ceiling, anywhere a piece of paper could be placed - there was Abe! I loved the lighting. Dimly lit inside but with lots of bright christmas lights of various types scattered around the space. I saw some snacks available for purchase, but you know the kind of food. Basic, salty, crunchy treats to go with booze. A delight! Highly recommend!

This is as close to a no frills dive bar as you're gonna find in the touristy side of Savannah, and we loved it. Small, dark, quiet (when we were there), with thousands of drawings of Abe Lincoln hanging from the ceiling. The bartender (Daddy) was friendly and funny, and quick to refill a thirsty traveler's drink. This was the perfect respite from craziness that increases the closer you get to the river.

Awesome Bar. And the Yuengling is ice cold.
Scott B.

What a nostalgic place to get a beer. I happened to order a Yeingling at the bar, while their sales rep was sitting there. He bought my beers for the rest of the evening.

Farah turned what could have been a disappointing end to the night into one I'll remember for all…read morethe right reasons. Even though the kitchen was already closed, she went out of her way to make sure I was able to get something to eat. She didn't have to do that--it was simply an act of genuine kindness. Great bartenders don't just pour drinks; they make people feel welcome, cared for, and seen. Farah did exactly that. Her positive attitude, willingness to help, and exceptional customer service made all the difference. If you're lucky enough to have Farah taking care of you, you're in great hands. Thank you for going above and beyond!

We stopped by after dinner, because they had a bread pudding on their menu and I was on the hunt…read more This was a road trip in the South, and I wanted as much shrimp and grits, fried chicken and bread pudding I could handle. Even though we were only ordering one dessert with water, the service was great and very helpful. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the weather (it had been raining off and on so it was a welcome cool). We got the bread pudding, and it was unlike any I've ever had. It was moist (a must) and the raisins were plump (very good). It was topped with a lumpy custard - like a real pudding(!) with whipped cream. The custard was unexpected, and not my favorite, but it made it unique and I enjoyed it.

We stopped in for dinner and left so impressed! From the moment we arrived with our party of 11,…read morethe staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Unlike a few other places we visited in Savannah, we were greeted with such warmth and kindness. Our group ordered a wide variety of dishes, and every single meal was delicious. I personally ordered the steak frittes, and it was absolutely incredible--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I can't remember our server's name, but he was from St. Augustine and provided exceptional service. He was friendly, attentive, and truly made our experience even better. Between the amazing food, inviting atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Savannah!

We were really excited to start our trip with dinner at Circa 1875. We had a late reservation time,…read morebut we were able to get in early. The ambiance was cool with a ton of old French posters and decor. Our server was prompt with the menus and helped answer a few questions about wine. Then we didn't see them again for a while. This gave us plenty of time to look over the menu so we were prepared to order. When they arrived again, they took our drink orders, but wouldn't take our food order? We thought, well, maybe let's just sit back and enjoy our time. In the meantime, another a couple was seated next to us. The same server came to get their drink order and they gave them their food order. We still haven't gotten our food order in. But the bread came, so that was nice. We finally got our food order in. The bread bowl was empty, but they didn't give a second round of bread (sad). We order a wedge salad to share and it came split perfectly. It took a very long time for the main course to come out. The table that was sat after us, but ordered before us had finished their meal before our order came out. The table to the other side of us commented that they were underwhelmed with their meal. We ordered 2 medium rare steak frites plates. The entire meal was over cooked. We had to send one plate back, in retrospect, we should have sent both plates back. When we finally finished what we wanted from the meal, we flat out passed on the dessert menu. We did go for a birthday celebration and they very nicely gave a complimentary champagne toast. I would not recommend this place.
