What a fun night!
Jacqueline T.

After dinner, we walked around and wanted to check out the Barrelhouse. In the basement area, there are a few pool tables and we enjoyed a few rounds of game. It got a little busy Tuesday night after 8 pm. As we headed up to the ground level, we saw a live band with awesome music and a few people are dancing and enjoying the chill ambience. We ordered a few more drinks and stayed till the band's last song at 11:30 pm. Really had a cool and fun experience at this bar.

a busy street at night

This place was ok but things quickly turned sour. The security guy "chase" choke hold my husband for trying to help a friend who went out for a smoke to come back in to continue playing pool. He assaulted my husband for no reason and was uncalled for. Don't ever come here. As a tourist, I have a sour taste of savanna hospitality. This is not ok. This place is not safe to come out as a group. The guy grabbed him by his neck and threw him on the street. We were all inside playing pool peacefully, but I guess caring for someone it's wrong. I was inside waiting for them. After waiting's long time I came outside to see what was happening. The shit head security said that was his job, really? That's your job? I don't think so. We don't assault people for caring. If I could give this place a minus star, I would. Never would I ever come back! This is not how we treat people.

Live music

Barrelhouse South is one of the few nightlife options for the late night crowd in Savannah. They have a large bar and live music here. We saw two different bands, which were both awesome. They did some great covers and they even got the crowd dancing. The bartenders were really fun and were joking around. Some people sitting at the table across from us got food here which did look good too. The flip side of this being a fun bar is that some people were out of control here. We were continuously being badgered by one guy and I had to tell him to get lost. Someone also threw up in the women's bathroom sink. I know that this isn't the fault of the business but seriously I just will always remember this place for that. The pro was that when I told one of the bartenders what had happened they had someone clean it up really fast. We had fun here but the experience was a bit hit or miss. We really enjoyed the live music but the crowd was wild.

Fun and games in the basement.

Happened upon this place while roaming the historic district on a recent visit. Street level bar definitely has an EDM/dance club vibe, complete with light show and dance music. Not my style, but it may be yours. A few steps down into the basement, you'll find a different vibe: alt/punk music playing, pool tables, skew ball, shuffle board table. Low key and casual... A couple local beers on tap, which I make a point to enjoy while traveling. Side note: I am absolutely positive that I was the only person there without a tattoo. And there were some pretty epic tattoos on display.

My go-to when I visit Savannah. Bartenders are hustling and the DJ or band know how to read the audience. Makes so many good memories!

Flat 12 oz Dos Equis for $8. College football Saturday. Only one game on TV. Not a sports bar and not worth your time.

Empty during the day, whole different crowd at night. Not our vibe and definitely doesn't look like the pictures.

The place has a really laid-back dive bar vibe, which is exactly what makes it great. The drinks are affordable, the bartenders are quick even when it gets busy, and the crowd is always a mix of locals and people just out having a good time. Tonight the energy was exactly what you'd expect for St. Patrick's weekend in Savannah -- packed, lively, and just a good time overall.

Planters tavern has a wonderful ambiance, and waiters are super friendly. We came at 6pm and while…read morethey said there was a 2hour wait, it wound up only being 30 minutes. So we got there for 6:30, and knew we had to leave by 8:20, as we had a ghost tour shortly thereafter and we told our waiter as such. Unfortunately, despite not ordering an appetizer and going straight to mains, we didn't get our dinner until 7:55pm. The reason it happened was the waiter accidentally ordered us the seafood special, not the steak special. They were apologetic about it, but still, a dinner we were looking forward to turned to a rushed scarfing down of food. Would have been nice if they comped one of the dinners, or offered a free round of drinks for the inconvenience. As for the meal itself - the shrimp dinner was meh - only came with 6 shrimp for $32 (pirates house shrimp dinner tasted better and came with over a dozen large shrimp). The ribeye was perfectly cooked, but needed more seasoning. My guess is because they rushed it, they may have forgotten the salt. The steak sauce (tamarind forward a1) wasn't my cup of tea. On the positives - both of the sides were amazing - highly recommend they put those on the main menu. All in all - there's too many good restaurants in Savannah, I doubt I'll be coming back. Given the ambiance, maybe good idea to come for a drink and dessert? (Although the wine pour was a little weak too).

The food is above par . Spectacular attentive service . A dark and chill respite from outdoor…read moreSavana. We enjoyed everything and will definitely make reservations in the Pink House upstairs next time.
