    Kafta Flatbread

    Food was absolutely delicious, especially the beef and lamb meatball pizza. The rooftop views are gorgeous, and service was great too!

    Oven Bread and Whipped Feta + Crudité

    A great spot for a lazy Sunday afternoon. While in town for a few days and an open afternoon we wanted a comfortable spot to sit back, have a glass of wine and just enjoy the opportunity "to just be." Bar Julian fit that need perfectly. On the river front, 13 stories up, views galore and options both inside and out. We chose a high top near one of the open patio doors and ordered a bottle of wine. A chilled Sauv. Blanc that was delicious arrived. We just needed some p & q so we each broke out our earbuds and drifted into one audio books. Just lovely. It wasn't long before we noticed a few nearby tables getting food delivered and it looked delicious. We inquired and ordered the Whipped Feta with Crudités. Our wonderful server highly recommended the Oven Bread as an easy add-on. We are so glad we ordered the Oven Bread as it was mind blowing. Simple, hot, salty and tender - puffed, pizza like dough that we could have ordered 3 more and one for the ride home. I asked the server how often she takes one home and she said her addiction has adjusted down to just 1 a week! The cheese and bread were lovely together and the watermelon radish and cucumber slices were great too. We relaxed, snacked and chilled. A perfect Sunday afternoon that ended too soon with impending weather encouraging us to get back to home base.

    Great bar to visit when you're in Savannah, with the best view in town. Worth the walk if you're staying further up the river. We dropped in just to have an appetizer and drink. Bartender crafted an excellent Old Fashioned that was perfectly balanced. The hummus was tasty, but the hot house bread was the star of snack time. It was the perfect companion to the hummus. This place is a can't miss on any visit to Savannah.

    Nice rooftop bar, friendly servers, tasty food & drinks. We had drinks here Friday night & then came back from breakfast Saturday morning while staying in the hotel. Love the decor & the setup. They have hanging flower vines in part of the area and nice art work throughout. A large full bar to sit at, booths & tables to choose from. There is even a photo booth right outside the entrance! Upscale & quality place to go to for an intimate evening but also family friendly during the day.

    Stuffed dates. Amazing. Pistachio mascarpone.

    One of the exceptional places about this bar is that it's an indoor outdoor rooftop bar overlooking the river and the riverfront and you can see the boats and the container ships come by. It's also part of an amazing hotel called the Thompson. Perfectly situated on the riverfront away from all the craziness but close enough to walk. Also has a great bakery and coffee shop called stevedore on the first floor. We come here for the sourdough bread every time we come to Savannah. Food is always fresh and very good with a Middle Eastern Mediterranean flair.

    Last night I dined at Lavender Rooftop Bar and said it was one of the best rooftop views in Savannah. And that's still true. But I think Bar Julian is better. Located in the swanky Thompson Savannah hotel, it is higher up and has a broader sweeping view (IMO). Service wasn't quite as warm or welcoming as Lavender, but was cordial and attentive. I had the smash burger, which was juicy and well seasoned and I love the caramelized onions and crisp pickles and oozy cheese. Fries were hot and crisp. They also offer a chicken sandwich, a lamb sandwich, pizzas (pepperoni, Margherita, sausage, mushroom, and more). They call themselves mediterranean inspired and do serve feta, stuffed dates, hummus, and mezze, but it's a stretch to call them mediterranean. The drinks were all great. I had: Summer heat: reposado, aquavit, grapefruit, lime, serrano pepper, and cilantro. It was good, but I have to say, I am so tired of jalapeño in everything. We need a new trend. Family vacation: this was my favorite. strawberry infused rum, kiwi oleo, lime, tiki bitters, cava. So light and delish. Would make a killer to go drink if you want to go walk along the river. Winner winner: gin, green chartreuse, orange oleo, lime, peychauds. Another refreshing, fruity (but not too sweet) take. I liked family vacation better, but still great. And Damage Control: mezcal, stool, pineapple tepache, house fermented pineapple cordial, acidified watermelon. Definitely a tiki-like crowd pleaser. Overall great experience. I wouldn't ever expect a gourmet meal here, but excellent views and vibes, a great place to grab drinks and get together.

    This place has a great view and is such a vibe. Service was great. Food was excellent. $3.00 for a poached egg or adding a veggie to an omelet felt a little steep. But I would definitely check this place out if you are here from out of town.

    While visiting Savannah my friend recommended this place. Located at a hotel this rooftop bar overlooks the Savannah River and has beautiful views. It offers outdoor and indoor seating. The menu is Mediterranean inspired and had fun cocktails. You can easily stay here for hours and nibble on the marinated olives and whipped feta....soooo goood while sipping on their great romances cocktail (which btw goes down like juice so be careful). I devoured my chicken kebab. We all were very content with our food choices. Service was great and very accommodating. Perfect place to catch up with the girls.

    Stopped in for a drink and the view. Beautiful bar. Amazing view of Savannah. Great place to watch the sunset and see the city. Bartender was friendly. The old fashioned was great!

    The food and service was amazing! We got a spot at the bar and the bar tender was so attentive and gave great recommendations for drinks. Loved all 3 of our drinks haha! The ambiance was also amazing as it is a rooftop spot and has a lot of ourdoor seating as well. The food was made fresh and was piping hot when brought to the table

    House bread & feta dip
    Sarah M.

    Get the Bread and Whipped Feta Dip!!!! That is all.... We stopped in bar Julian because it was in our hotel. The view was fantastic but it was too cold to sit outside. We loved seeing the ships go by! We sat at the bar and staff was great. Menu is unique and fun! We opted for a drink and an appetizer. I had a glass of sparkling. My husband had the rambler cocktail. Both drinks were good, but super expensive.. we ordered the bread and whipped feta dip. It took a really long time to get out appetizer (like 20 minutes). Upon arrival it was clearly fresh out of the oven and delicious! So amazing! The feta dip was so addictive! My critique is that it did not have enough vegetables. I needed more. I also found it odd that bread was not included in the dips. It had to be ordered separately. This made the dip and bread $17. Overall it was an expensive stop for 3 drinks and an appetizer it came out to be $70 without the tip.

    Bar Julian is a bit of a hike from the usual historic district crowds and the river street area but it's well worth it. It is a bar/restaurant located on the top floor of a boutique (Hyatt owned) hotel. Getting to the top is nice and quick with easy access to the elevators. Once on the top, you'll soon be greeted by a friendly face and sound of good music playing in the air. All the seating is first come first serve. The menu's top item is the Mezze platter that comes with hummus, whipped feta, red pepper spread, crudité, olives, dolmas, giardiniera, and oven bread. It's a little steep for $28 but can easily be enjoyed by two. The one gripe that I have about the platter is that it only comes with two pieces of bread which is insufficient to enjoy all the dips. One extra piece of bread will set you back another $4. I think a platter this size and cost should really come with four pieces of bread. Nonetheless, the views are absolutely stunning from this rooftop bar and you almost feel world's away from all the crowds.

    Family vacation. Delicious.

    This bar is located on the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel. We were staying at the hotel and had a $100 credit so we decided to use it here for drinks and dinner. For drinks, I ordered family vacation (strong, rum forward) and the great romances. I preferred the great romances. Both were good though. My husband got the Albariño and French burgundy Chardonnay. Both good. For dinner we got the gambas, delicious and the mezze platter. The bread and whipped feta on the board were my favorites. My Husband enjoyed the hummus. The gambas really stole the show through. There was some heat but it only built a little. It never got super hot. So if you like a little bit of spice but don't want it to kick your ass get it. Would come again!

The first time I visited was near Christmas and it was freezing outside, but they had a burning fireplace and the cutest little enclosed glass houses you could sit in to enjoy your drinks. During my recent visit, we had our 1 yr old son with us and decided to have dinner there and enjoy the weather. I had the Valencian Spritz (reposado, orange aperitif wine, fresh orange, white pepper, and cava) which was the perfect summer drink. My husband had the Soft Light mocktail (zero proof gin, papaya, kefir, and saline). For food, we started with the Labneh dip topped with olive oil, za'atar, and honey with fresh pitas on the side. Wow, this has got to be the best pita I've ever had. They were so fluffy, warm, and well seasoned. We even got a second order. The labneh dip was phenomenal -- highly recommend for an appetizer or just a snack. We also shared to the falafel bites and the Alida Burger which was very tasty! We'll definitely be back for another visit the next time we're in Savannah!

Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

I asked if we could grab drinks at the bar and she kept coming up with excuses on why we couldn't stand or sit in certain areas. Finally, I just asked her to come up with a solution because we had 15 minutes to kill and they didn't have a waiting area. Funny enough, she decided then to get our table ready. It was just odd. Our server was from Ukraine so she was efficient and fast. Not super friendly or chatty with us which missed the mark on Southern hospitality and made our experience feel cold compared to our previous dinner experiences in town. I don't fault her for it though as she did her job. We ordered an excessive amount of starters and some of the entrees. The stand outs for me was the crispy Brussels sprouts, roasted bone marrow, steamed mussels, and grilled octopus. Skip any of the bread options. They weren't even toasted. For entrees, we also decided to share them. The pork chop and NY strip were stand outs. We ended up sending back the halibut. It tasted mealy and freeze burnt. Skip the crispy Japanese eggplant. I was expecting a grilled dish and it was actually fried with a thick batter. Too heavy for my liking. Overall, we enjoyed our meal but not somewhere I am dying to go back to.
