I love hotels that gave a lobby bar so I was definitely pleased to know there was the Bar by Fleeting at the Thompson Savannah. It may be confusing because there is a restaurant named Fleeting. The two are within 10 feet of each other. They are related but do not serve the same items. The two also have almost opposing hours. The bar opens at 2pm. There is a happy hour that runs from 2pm-6pm. We first attempted to try the bar when we checked in but we could not get new at the bar all night. It was NYE so we just sat in the room and sipped on champagne we bought elsewhere.
We were able to stop in our second day after biking through town. It was actually pretty crowded but by the time our drinks arrived, we were able to snag a couple of seats at the bar. We both ordered a Old Fashioned due to the happy hour special. They really hit the spot! The bartenders were fantastic. I wish I could remember their names. They were 2 female bartenders, both dark hair, pretty and one had glasses. They were very nice, personable, attentive, and just overall had the bar in check. There was even a point where some woman requested several drinks but sent them all back due to not liking the taste of anything. Everyone that was witness to that thought everything tasted great so we made sure to provide positive feedback to the bartenders. It was our anniversary and originally we were planning to get ready and go out to dinner but we were enjoying ourselves and decided to stay longer.
We stopped here our last day before heading on the road. We ordered a couple of drinks, but I had more because hubs was driving. There was a male bartender that was interesting. He did appear kind of snotty but it could be my misinterpretation. I ordered the Old Fashioned for myself while I waited for hubs. I guess I should have specified, or maybe I didn't have to, but I was charged full price for it instead of the happy hour price. One of the bartenders we had the previous night showed up later and we continued having great conversation. We also ordered some snacks and they were so good! The garlic aioli was not garlic aioli; it tasted like straight up mayonnaise. The kimchi ketchup was very flavorful. The fries were the right amount of crispy and perfectly cooked. The kielbasa was tasty and I am so glad it was served with mustard because that is how I eat it. The cheese was unique and flavorful. Everything tasted fresh. read more
