Was told about this place for the ambience, wasn't steered wrong! They also create some great craft cocktails to go with this wonderful atmosphere. The building is gorgeous and the interior is quite stunning with a tiled ceiling. My bartender created a refreshing martini, I'd be a regular if I were a regular on this city! Dress nicely, or at least step it up a bit. read more

If you're in Savannah, do not miss Artillery. From the moment we walked in, the dark, moody atmosphere set the perfect vibe; intimate, stylish, and elevated without feeling stuffy. The music was spot on and added so much to the overall experience. We tried the "Bit of a Pickle" cocktail and it was absolutely delicious; especially if you're a fan of dill. It's unique, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. And the espresso martini? Easily one of the best I've ever had. Smooth, rich, and crafted to perfection. The service was top notch. Our server was fun, attentive, and genuinely seemed excited to be there and take care of us. You can tell they take pride in both the drinks and the experience. Artillery absolutely deserves five stars--we'll definitely be back! read more

Popped in for a cocktail and so glad we did! The setting is an old artillery storage building and has amazing historic vibes. We went with the happy hour specials including the artillery punch! Aside from the price we were very happy with the quality of the cocktails...there Was a slight smokiness to the artillery punch that was awesome! Our bartender was super nice and funny - definitely recommend popping in here for a cocktail - they had a ton of options! read more

As Savannah's self-proclaimed, cocktail bar aficionado ;), artillery is BY FAR. My favorite place to grab a drink - solo, with the hubby, or with friends. I'm embarrassed that I haven't written I review for Artillery. Seeing as I've been here more times than I'd like to admit. The inside is perfect. Not too big and just enough seating to make it intimate. It's not attached or affiliated to a hotel or restaurant, it's intentionally set up to make you feel like this is the only cocktail bar in the Savannah area. I never want to stop by anywhere else when I go here! There's a drink for everyone, even those that opt out of libations. Each seat gives a different feel, but there's not a bad seat in the house. There's even absinthe on drip! I also love that it's a little off the beaten path, not in the mix of the downtown hubbub, and off of a square that's a little quieter. And the decor is stunning. There are so many details. If you haven't been or are contemplating, just go. You will not be disappointed. FYI- It doesn't serve food, so that means it's not open on Sunday. read more

Stunning architecture combining modern marble and brass accents with historic brick. An interior design lover's feast for the eyes as she sips her cocktail. I forgot the name of my cocktail but it was delicious and unique as the description promised! Such friendly bartenders too, I appreciated the chattiness. Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby read more

Great wine selection, and sadly couldn't get any cocktails because of the tap water issue (out of their control). They still let us come in to enjoy the ambiance and we ordered what we could. This venue is beautiful and worth stepping into for any reason. Service was great and they seem to know what they're doing. We'd go back if we are in the area again. read more

With the abundance of watering holes in today's world, at times it's hard at times to distinguish one joint from another. After all, we are all there for a dose of the same thing. Yet, in the most unexpected places, surprises occur and Artillery in Savannah was the setting for such an incredible occurrence on one hot summer night. Artillery is situated inside an old stable for artillery horses. It's a gorgeously restored space inside, preserving the original brick but augmenting it with rimless mirrors and elegant yet slightly industrial fixtures that create the vibe of a speakeasy. With that said, it would not be appropriate to call it a speakeasy as it's relatively easy to find and does not play any silly games at entry. So, what to get here? If you are a visitor to Savannah, there is a cocktail made here that is synonymous with the city's history: The Chantham Artillery Punch. It's an unfathomable collection of liquors that may not be for the faint of heart, but leaving the city without it would be a trip incomplete. At Artillery it is also nicely presented in a golden pineapple and frankly, tastes great, dangerously great. If you are a local, the decision is a bit simpler. Get literally anything else. There is a collection of exquisite bottles and people working here will craft practically anything that one could desire. read more

Super quaint top-tier craft cocktail establishment. The cocktails we had were mixed to perfection. The bartenders were very friendly as well as the people enjoying drinks. All the cocktails we saw looked scrumptious. Although the place is small, it can accommodate larger parties, I would probably stick to 8 max if you want to sit down. Do beware of the dress code though, this is not a very casual place. read more

If you're searching for a cozy cocktail bar with a strong bourbon focus and a respectable wine selection, Arillary is a hidden gem worth checking out. Tucked away in Savannah's historic downtown--right next to Public Kitchen but just outside the main tourist zone--Arillary offers a quieter, more intimate vibe. It's only a few blocks from Forsyth Park, and street parking is typically easy to find and free after 5 PM. While they don't have a full kitchen, they do offer light snacks like peanuts and pub mix to pair with your drink. The ambiance is stunning--warm, inviting, and perfect for a date night or a relaxing solo stop on your way home. Seating can be limited for groups of four or more, as there are only three larger tables available. If you're planning to come with a group, arriving right when they open is your best bet since they don't take reservations--it's strictly first come, first served. Heads up: they check IDs at the door regardless of age, so have yours ready. Fun tip--whoever presents their ID first gets seated first, so be quick! The cocktail menu is seasonal and rotates frequently. If nothing on the menu catches your eye, the bartenders are more than happy to craft something custom based on your preferences--which is my go-to move. Service can vary depending on who's working and how busy it is, but I've never had a bad experience. Just remember, things move a little slower in the South--embrace the pace and enjoy the vibe. read more

I absolutely loved this place. It was a great spot we were recommended by long-time locals. We had dinner and then went walking around for a night of debauchery. The Artillery was out first spot on the list. It's a nice quaint spot with limited seating but great service when a seat opens up. The drinks were superb and our entire group loved their drinks. I don't remember the name of the drink I got but it was Mezcal forward and it was amazing. I liked the ambiance of the entire place and we had a great enjoyable conversation. Dimly lit, music not too loud and the company just right. Will be bacK! read more

I've read this place was crowded, so was worried, but on a Tuesday night, there was tons of seating. I really liked that the seating is diverse--small tables, larger tables, a regular bar, and a low bar, which is perfect for someone like me with a 28 inch inseam. The bartender was cool and quirky, very attentive. Super creative drinks here. I had the Park Your Boat at the recommendation of the bartender, made with coconut tea infused rum, Mozart chocolate coconut, bepi tosolini wild strawberry (there were several ingredients I had to google), lime, and Demerara. It was. little sweet for my usual taste, but very velvety, luxurious, and did taste great (for a sweet drink). I also had the Gilbert's Law, made with il gusto de Amalfi mandarin liqueur, altos silver, agave, and acid grapefruit. Given the agave and grapefruit, I thought it would have more flavor, but it was pretty mild. It was easy to drink however. Can't complain. I tried the Crab People, which I did not like at all (didn't even finish it). I didn't google its ingredients and should have, however given how creative the drink is, I'm not sure I would have shied away anyway (murrell's row mignonette gin, tomato shallot shrub, oleo). Oleo is margarine (insert crying face). Hated that flavor, but a fun and interesting thing to tell people about later I suppose. I took the Fizzy Lifting Drink to go (yes, Savannah has a to go law). Uncle Val's botanical gin (my favorite), hibiscus, honey, lemon, sparkling wine. Didn't taste quite how I thought it would. The sparkling wine drowned out the Uncle Val's botanical notes in my opinion, but maybe I'm biased because Val's is how I make my G&Ts. Overall, the vibes are great here. Excellent 70s-80s-yacht rock soundtrack the night I went (though at least one night a week they do live music). The aesthetic is beautiful. Prices are average, maybe even good, for the complexity of the drinks. They have tons of interesting and inventive cocktails, including one made with white balsamic, dill, and cracked pepper. Several different spirits, flavors, and herbs to try. Many ingredients I've never heard of, or have rarely seen, and I frequent cocktail bars a lot. read more

Loved this cute and classic cocktail bar! The drinks changed constantly and are honestly incredible. Definitely a great place to go Savannah before dinner or just with friends. My mom and I both got the pink lady which was in a coupe glass and a hibiscus type rosemary drink with a side of Prosecco. It was lovely, and the atmosphere was just very relaxing and felt elegant. Definitely recommend if you were looking for an upscale bar in Savannah! read more

This establishment really left something to be desired, and if you've followed my reviews, you know I am very reluctant to leave negative reviews. We arrived late on a Friday night, had an empty table given to us then taken away, then a long time pass before we were even attended to (and it wasn't so busy that a delay was warranted), and just overall we felt unwelcome when we came to try to join our friends who had arrived earlier. Although I made the effort to order a drink, the rest of my party was ignored and never got around to getting a drink. Ultimately, we felt like we we were not welcome here. It didn't help that me and my party were people of color. I would not recommend coming here, and I have never said this about any establishment ever. read more

Stopped in Artillery Bar during a recent trip to Savannah because I had artillery punch on my list of "must try" in Savannah. Lucky for me it was one block from my hotel, convenient since I had a few drinks. I started with the artillery punch which was delicious and came in a cute little pineapple shaker. And I loved the little kick from the champagne at the end. Artillery punch aside, they have a comprehensive menu of drinks to suit whatever your preferred drink might be. I followed-up with a paper plane and it was delicious. read more

My husband and I stopped a Artillery on a Saturday night at around 6pm. The bar was full, but we were able to snag a seat on the plush seating along the wall. The ambiance is amazing. The right dim lighting to have a trendy cocktail bar (speakeasy but not quite) vibe. In our seating area they had buttons along the wall to call your server, but I don't think they worked (and they weren't needed, as our server was quite attentive). I started with the Rum Job. I love old fashioneds, but honestly don't always love whiskey, so I loved to see a similar type of cocktail with rum. I also loved the dried banana chips in the drink, a nice complement to the flavors. Boozy but not too boozy, and just a touch of sweetness to make the drink enjoyable. Would definitely get this again!! I then moved on to Petal Pushers to try something different. Normally I don't like sweet drinks, but this had enough tartness and mouthfeel that I enjoyed it! It also photographed well. Didn't take first place as my fave, but I could imagine it being a popular drink. Not the cheapest cocktails in the world, but you get what you pay for--they are excellent and so creative! I wholeheartedly recommend Artillery! read more

Jackson and Leo were behind the bar on our visit and they were amazing. Kind and knowledgeable. Offered drinks not on menu which were delicious! Started on menu and those are also exceptional. Very on point with their mixing expertise, the drink can have a smell and taste different, in the best way possible. The ice cubes are crystal clear Drinks amazing, great music, great low light inside bar and table area. As an out of town guest, we loved the vibe and the drinks! Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I were first drawn to Artillery by its beautiful exterior but became more interested once we learned about its history as a military building built in the 1890s. We stopped by for a quick drink and were amazed by the extensive list of unique and creative craft cocktails on the menu! Although it was almost impossible to choose, we each tried a floral gin cocktail that was light and pleasant. Although the drinks were a little pricey, the atmosphere was lovely as the interior is warm, elegant, and welcoming. Our service was wonderful and we'd definitely stop by again if we ever return to Savannah! read more

I have been to the Artillery several times. I have never been disappointed with what I've ordered. This last visit, Jackson was our bartender. He was terrific. I asked for an old fashioned. He told me what was he would mix up a thunderclap. I had never had the combination of liquors he was suggesting. It was the best old fashioned I have ever had. I will be back for another!! There were 3 other guests with me and everyone agreed their drinks were delicious. read more

Usually my go-to spot in Savannah and the first place I recommend to people ok visiting, but this visit was a miss. We stopped by around 10:55 p.m. for a quick nightcap and were told it was last call, which was surprising since their website doesn't list a closing time, but fair enough we only wanted one drink anyway. We ordered right away, got drinks that weren't quite as good as usual, and were quickly surrounded by staff cleaning up and clearly eager to leave. By 11:09, the lights were on and it was obvious we were being rushed out, even though plenty of people still had full drinks. Don't get me wrong, the Artillery is normally one of the best bars in Savannah (A Bit of a Pickle is a must-order). But something was definitely off this October night, and what's usually a perfect experience felt a bit off. read more

Went here before seeing a music show close by, around 6 pm on Saturday with a few friends. Sat in front at a table. Staff were attentative. Shared bottles of Rose. One cocktail, forgot the name, but mushroom cocktail. I got it as I new it would be unique. Truffle like nose, but then sweet taste. One of the more uncommon cocktails I've ever tried. read more

Artillery - Mushroom Cocktail - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Artillery is the epitome of a classic high-end bar. And when I say bar, I mean bar. Other than some munchy nuts or bar-type nibble things, no food. And don't even think of trying to smuggle any in. I saw a couple try that and they were quickly escorted right back outside. They are also very dress conscious. Flip flops, tank tops, and the like are very much frowned upon. The place is high-end swank, and they want to keep it that way. The building in which it is housed is very historical. I've never seen anything like it. As they put it the interior respects the late 19th-century eclecticism and romanticism seen in the building's original architecture and iconic façade. The custom-crafted cocktails are what Artillery is best known for and they are great. I had one called The Generals Garden that consisted of Fighting Cock Bourbon, lemon, ginger, rosemary, and blueberry garnished with a mint. So, if you want a classic cocktail, a really class top-notch elegant atmosphere, this is about the best place I've ever seen. read more

100% yes. Do you like expertly crafted cocktails? Are you sick of the basic b*+#% line up of cocktails? Then you will like this place. Important note: this is not like any bar where you all just cram in and stand wherever. If there are no seats available you will be asked to wait outside, come back later, etc. I chose to wait and so glad that I did. Lucky for me the line was short and got in within 15 mins on a Friday evening around 5:15 pm. The decor is beautiful, clean, and classic with warm lighting. Very chill vibe and not too loud at all! An enjoyable experience and will make sure this is on my must stop list each time I come back to good ole' Savannah. read more

Hubby and I stopped at Artillery after our ghost tour at the Sorrel Weed House. We were seated as soon as we walked in. They put us at a small table for 2 right by the front window. We originally planned on having 1 drink then bouncing to another place but we got to chatting, enjoying the chill vibe and romantic atmosphere. I told hubby to surprise me with the drink order, he ordered a couple Forsyth Park At Dark cocktails which were delicious! We sat and talked then ordered another round since they were so tasty. The cocktail was tart and made with a great whiskey. I especially loved the fresh blackberries and mint on top. I would totally come back here just for another cocktail (or two) :) read more

Gotta say I was super disappointed with this place. One of my girlfriends had sung it's praises and I was super excited to come in on our girls cocktail trip but we sat down it took a while for the waitress to take our orders and when she did she never put them in. 25 min later she came by to ask if we wanted anything else and we were like, um our first drinks?? She apologized and offered us bar nuts/snack mix to make up for it. About 10 min later we finally got our drinks. Honestly they were not that tasty and for the price you can definitely get better in town. read more
