Wow! Let's just start by saying this place is next level. You want to talk about an eclectic mix of history, quality food, fun atmosphere and top notch service-the CBP is for you. The locals come here so that is saying something. Southern faves, burgers our is this world, soups are fantastic and the flounder Ruben is a personal fav of my husband. You cannot go wrong with anything on this menu. Love that they stayed true to their roots-the quirky gift shoppe next door is a must hit. read more

We went on a Saturday night in January and waited about 30 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, we ordered quickly and the food was on the table within 15 minutes. The food was hot and fresh. I mean the French fries burned my tongue! (But in a good way). Neither my companion nor I loved the coleslaw as we are very picky about our coleslaw. But everything else was delicious. Our server was great too but I can't recall her name. They got the tables cleaned quickly for the next guests to come in. Very much enjoyed our visit and our yummy food. ***We had ordered takeout from here about 15 months ago and that is why we decided to come back. Two great meals and we will be back when visiting Savannah again. read more

What a great Savannah restaurant! Great food. Great indoor outdoor seating. Amazing service. I had a great local beer and a huge chicken tenders salad. We all shared an appetizer. The restaurant is large, taking into consideration the indoor area and very large area for dining outside. The Crystal Beer Palace was a great place to enjoy our last night in Savannah. read more

We heard great things about Crystal Beer Parlor and knew we had to stop in during our weekend trip to Savannah. It was quite busy when we got there so we put our name in and grabbed a drink at the bar. They have a little gift shop and outdoor seating area where you can sit while you wait so it made the time go quickly. Our table was ready before the time they quoted us and our server greeted us promptly. Service was quick and our food came out fast for how many tables were filled. We got the pretzel thats as big as a steering wheel (the menu says that) and the crab puppies (I think that was the name) for apps. Both were delicious. We got an assortment of entrees at the table, burger, some seafood, etc. Everything was hot, tasted fresh and we enjoyed it all. We had a great experience and would definitely return next time we're in town. read more

We stopped by Crystal Beer Parlor after church, and it was exactly the kind of place you hope to land on a busy day. Yes, it was very busy--but in the best way. Lots of locals, a steady buzz, and a lively atmosphere without ever feeling rushed. The service was solid and efficient, and despite how packed it was, we never felt hurried out the door. That alone is worth noting. The food delivered. My burger was tasty, well-cooked, and satisfying in that classic pub-grill way. Nothing overcomplicated--just done right. The sides were a hit too, and most importantly, the kids were happy. That's always the real test. The menu is approachable, the vibe is relaxed, and it's genuinely kid-friendly without feeling like a "kids place." This is a casual, dependable Savannah staple--great for families, great for locals, and easy to see why people keep coming back. We would absolutely return. read more

Got there right as it opened and followed in a mess of police officers heading for lunch. That should tell you something. The room was old-timey, but nicer than I expected to see. Bathrooms were clean. Service was on-it and management was circulating the whole time we were there. Great beer and cocktail list, good prices and quite a varied menu of the kind of local stuff you want - but not done in a shi-shi way. The food was good and the service and drinks were great. read more

If you are ever in Savannah, Georgia, I strongly recommend this long-standing establishment. Great atmosphere and great food. I had a cheeseburger with guacamole, bacon, onions, and a sriracha mayonnaise with onion rings. Fantastic. The service was friendly and the place has a cool overall ambiance. The Crystal Beer Parlor is a mist stop in Savannah (at least in my opinion). Do not miss this place. read more

Really a 3.75. Came around 7:50 and they close at 9 (our bad) no reservations so add your name to the list and get a buzzer. Was told it would be around 30 minutes, at 8:30 I asked my partner to check on our place and he was told she scratched our name off the list...why? Our buzzer hadn't been buzzed, name hadn't been called etc. When we were finally seated service was smooth. I got the sweet shrimp with fries and coleslaw. My partner got the burger although it came basically naked the waitress quickly took it back for the correct toppings. Both meals tasted great and I was happy the late dining time didn't affect the quality. Took the peach cobbler to go and it was super warm and yummy. The space is very large with plenty of seating and tables outside to hang while you wait and do expect a wait. read more

The wait was for over an hour so we found a seat at the bar to have drinks and dinner. The moment we arrived at the bar to sit down and order our drinks, we were met with a welcoming of contempt and unwelcoming hospitality. The energy felt more like one of only accepting locals or only accepting non-minority customers. The bartender looked visibly unpleasant and not very polite. He wasn't outright rude but it felt unfriendly and uncomfortable. That energy carried on for the entire time. The plate I ordered was underwhelming. The crab meat was flavorful but that was the extent of that. The fried fish needed more seasoning. My daughter ordered the soup and salad. I will say the crab soup was super delicious. The soup was the highlight of that visit. The beer tap options are great. I was very pleased with their blonde ale, but I wouldn't visit again sadly. read more

This place is right outside of the beaten path, but so worth the visit. Mainly went for the stuffed crab and it was everything that was raved about in other reviews. (Do be mindful of little shells, but it's worth picking out of your mouth for the amount of lumpy crabmeat, spices, and such.) The fried shrimp were the best we had in Savannah! They were huge and perfectly fried as were the oysters. The service was super friendly and helpful having gone above and beyond to help us find a recipe for Chatham Artillery Punch that had been alluding us for three days! This is a don't miss, but remember your personal capability around the digestion of large amounts of fried foods. read more

First time here and came as a walk-in party of 2. There was a bit of the wait so we found spots at the bar and had a few drinks and the fried pickles app to start. They were delicious and came out piping hot! Once we got seated I ordered the salmon BLT with a side of mash and my husband got the pastrami sand which with fries. Food came out super quick and the portions were generous. These were some of the best sandwiches we have ever had! Probably will come back while we are still in town! read more

We came here because of the yelp review well traveling and looking for a local experience and it was so good had to leave our own. It was so good!

I have been waiting YEARS to come here!!!! Finally made it on this trip. It's not directly in the "touristy" area so we took an uber to avoid a 30 min walk. Worth the short ride. The she crab stew was PHENOMENAL. Order it! You will not be disappointed. My husband had the fried oysters and loved them. Large menu- something for everyone and very solid kids menu as well. I had no room for desert but was dying to try the fried pound cake. (In hindsight, I should have gotten it to go and eaten it throughout the weekend- next time) My husband thoroughly enjoyed their beer and bourbon selection. And prices were extremely reasonable. Definitely check it out. read more

We heard this was a popular place to eat in Savannah, so we knew we had to try it during our time here. We tried to come around 7:00pm on a Friday night, but the wait was an hour long. They do not take reservations. So we tried our luck again during the lunch hour the following Sunday. No problem getting a table then. Our server was friendly and very informative when we had questions about the menu. The Shrimp and Grits were excellent and full of flavor. Fried Green Tomatoes and the Creamy Crab Stew were tasty. I'm not well-versed in true Southern cuisine so this was my first time really trying all of the above. It did not disappoint! The Peach Cobbler lives up to its reputation and we left no crumbs on the plate. The ambiance is cozy and not too dimly lit. I'll definitely return if I'm ever in the Savannah area again. read more

After a long day hoofing around town in the heat, I wanted a cold beer. I was able to sit immediately at the bar. The drinks menu is longer than some places' food menu and on the front page of beers on tap, those made in Georgia and in Savannah are helpfully marked. I ordered a nice local lager and the shrimp salad sandwich. I appreciated the long list of choices for sides, more than just fries and sweet potato fries. There was Cole slaw and greens and I had the cornbread. Service was fast and accurate. At least two of the bartenders checked on me from time to time. I would have had a second beer if I hadn't been so tired already with a long walk back to the car still ahead of me. The dining room was not terribly noisy, and it was more than half full in the middle of the afternoon. I wish there was something besides golf on the tv, but I guess I didn't watch it anyway. Would eat here again. read more

It generally gets good reviews so I may have gone there on a bad day. I wasn't overly impressed. Ignore the Yelp prices and check their menu for a nice 20%+ increase. The bartender didn't smile once. We ordered a Reuben, as shown. The sandwich was pretty good. The fries were soggy. Would I go again, probably not. read more

Walked in for lunch during a busy weekend in Savannah. Bonaventure Don recommended this restaurant at the end of our cemetery tour and provided a coupon for a free appetizer/dessert. They also had a wide selection of beers, including items from local breweries. We tried a local sour and immediately visited the brewery (Two Tides Brewing Co.) after our lunch. My table of three shared a salad, shrimp and grits, crab soup, and complimentary peach cobbler. The crab soup was incredible-- we absolutely considered ordering another one. The shrimp and grits was not super warm, but the dish was packed with shrimp and sausage. This was definitely the best restaurant from our trip! read more

Spousal Unit and I were in town to visit friends and watch a Savannah Banans game (OK, technically Firefighters vs Party Animals - but we're seated behind a few Bananas. Watching the game. Fun!). Friends took us to Crystal for lunch before the game. We sat at the bar, enjoyed some local brews on tap, and had a nice meal. I ordered off their Oktoberfest menu: the bratwurst platter with sauerkraut. (I was set to order their shrimp and grits but I figured I could get that ANYWHERE in Savannah. Turns out I was wrong, but that's another story). Brats were good, kraut was properly tangy, and my extra side of red beans and rice was delicious. Spousal Unit surprised my by ordering the Shrimp Salad sandwich (generally not her go-to). She really liked the seasoning on the very fresh shrimp, pronounced it "yummy". Ambiance was nice, people were friendly, beer was cold, and our friends picked up the tab. Who could ask for anything more? read more

Walked in for lunch around 2:00 had to wait five minutes for a table which wasn't very long. Seated in a comfy red booth. The friendly waitress took drink order while we studied the menu. My husband and I decided to share the green fried tomatoes appetizer which were delicious and crunchy. We also shared the Turkey club with roasted turkey, lettuce, tomato and bacon. So fresh and tasty. It was accompanied with sweet potato waffle fries. We were so full but decided to order the peach cobbler which was written up as the best in Savannah. It didn't disappoint. Served warm, crunchy and flavorful along with vanilla ice cream. read more

Experience a setting back to Prohibition era - Savanna style with this unique beer (and full liquor) parlor. It has been in continuous operation since 1933 and has been patronized by many hollywood A listers as well as the three stooges. Yes, that's moe/larry/curley with photo proof hanging throughout. I started with a refreshing Tybee island rum cocktail then enjoyed a delicious fried green tomato appetizer. The Turkey club was perfectly toasted and comprised fresh off-the-bone carved turkey! It was supplemented with sweet potato waffle fries. Finally, don't forget to leave room for the Georgia famous peach cobbler a-la-mode for dessert as recommended by our waitress Eileen. read more

Great place after a night out. Portions are generous and the value for the food is great. Our server Dan took great care of us. The atmosphere was charming with old newspapers all over the walls. The food was delicious but heavily breaded and salty. My favorite was the crab dip and the peach cobbler. The Diameter of the chili dog was impressive! read more

I don't often get down to Savannah but when I do, I ALWAYS stop in at Crystal Beer Parlor for their shrimp and grits. Every. Single. Time. I mean it - those shrimp and grits are the best I've had anywhere, My husband and a friend have gotten the burgers and said they were excellent. The service is always great and the wait staff are very attentive. This does have a bar but it's always a pleasant experience. Not too loud. You can even sit at the bar to eat. Obviously this is my favorite restaurant in Savannah and I just can't recommend it enough. read more

Another fantastic experience at Crystal Beer Parlor! Eddie, from the takeout area, is exceptional. When I called to place my to-go order, he was pleasant and had a DJ-style voice that sounds like he should be on the radio! His suggested pickup time was spot on, and my order was perfect. I ordered the hamburger steak and substituted cornbread for the coleslaw. The patty was cooked to perfection, and I appreciated that the mashed potatoes and gravy were packed in separate containers. This prevented any mess or sogginess. Great job, CBP! read more

Visited Savannah in the fall and had a delicious meal at Crystal Beer Parlor. We started the evening with a Tybee sunset, Grand margarita, and amazing crab puppies--by far the best hush puppy I've ever had, probably because there was so much crab, it reminded me of crab cakes. Highly recommend. For entrees, we ordered pimento pig. Ended the meal with the mouth watering peach cobbler. This is the best cobbler I've ever tasted. Can't wait to have another order soon! Bring cash if you can, they charge extra for card payments. read more

You gotta try this historic beer parlor around since the 1930s! They had a ton of beers to choose from both on tap and in cans/bottles. The walls are adorned with all kinds of antique pictures and decorations. It was fun to look around at everything while we waited for our food. The bar is long with wooden barstools that really just scream nostalgia. The food menu is big and I would describe it as upscale diner type food. We shared crab puppies that were absolutely delicious! They were packed with crab meat and felt like eating a crabcake. We shared a fried flounder Rueben which is honestly more of my husband's thing, not mine. It was good if you like that sort of thing. He thought the sandwich was incredible. If we go again, I would order something different. Check them out! read more

This needs to be on your MUST DO list when in Downtown Savannah, Georgia. The food was deliciously southern and like a Sunday after church home cooked meal. From the hostess, to the table, friendliness was everywhere. Victoria, shared her southern charm, and her demeanor and personality was a welcomed addition to the overall experience!! Thank you for that. I strongly recommend to all !! PS... the PEACH COBBLER is so delicious, it felt criminal not to share!!! Lol read more

My husband's friend recommended this and we are so glad we were able to go. They don't take reservations, but luckily we didn't have to wait long.

Great place for lunch or dinner! read more

It can't believe it's taken me this long to go here. This place knows how to make great food, not one dish was less than special. Huge portions and Great service, one of the best casual dining experiences in Savannah. We arrived around 6:30/7 on a Friday, and grabbed the last two seats at the bar- if not for that we'd be waiting at least 40 minutes. (No reservations) We started with the giant pretzel and we stuffed without finishing. The Gouda beer cheese, are you kidding me? So good. We ordered the big bleu burger with a side of the ocilla slaw - YUM. And got the soup and salad combo with Caesar and she crab soup, which came with a slice of cornbread. I'm not even joking, everything was so good! And we had SO much leftovers. Do yourself a favor and eat here. Super chill vibes that makes dining downtown feel good, as opposed to the upscale or casual/upscale ambiance that others try to do read more

This review would have absolutely been a 5 if it weren't for the hostess with the glasses, Nichele. She just had an attitude about her. I almost didn't want to wait and just find another spot. However!!!! Our waitress, Sara, was phenomenal! Total sweetheart. Southern hospitality and all-around fantastic waitress. The food was the best I've had in Savannah. Also visited SC and the food here was everything I was hoping the South would be. Do Not Leave without ordering the Shrimp and Grits!!! The collard greens were incredibly tasty and the peach cobbler...mmmmm. Great spot! Ignore the hostess and ask for Sara! read more

Love love love this place! We've been several times over the past few visits and always find a way to pop in. Their beer selection is top notch - all types of breweries from around the US represented. Their food is a level Above pub fare. The shrimp Salad is delish - tender shrimp with a slightly sweet sauce. You can choose your side - I got the house slaw which is amazing. The fried pickles are tangy and cooked just right and the Greek wings are tasty too. You can't miss with a burger - really anything is going to hit the spot. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out fast. There is always plenty of seating at tables and also at the bar. During October they have the outside set up like a beer garden. If you're looking for a some good food and beer definitely check them out! read more

Lovely restaurant. We were seated pretty quickly and attended to pretty fast. It was a work lunch so we ordered the pretzel, some homemade chips, and the crab balls as appetizers. ALL, were amazing.

We opted to sit inside, and we really liked all the photos/historical decor! The bar area was also pretty lively, and they had a huge selection of beers on draft. The place was packed, but the service was surprisingly prompt! I ended up getting the shrimp and grits. It was so deliciously rich and creamy, and I loved the andouille sausage. It was so big that I ended up taking half of it to go, but the oil separated when I tried to heat it up at home. Regardless, it was delicious :) read more

I've eaten at this restaurant a few times over the years and I like the quaint old fashioned wood paneled pub like establishment. The bar and restaurant is always busy and lively. There are four different rooms and there used to be an outside tent eating area. Ambiance aside, the food is always fresh and delicious. Service is prompt and friendly. I don't have any pics of the food, but it's worth going at least once, especially since the price is affordable. read more
