This is a tough one for me. On one hand I appreciated their extensive bourbon selection and at reasonable prices. On the other hand I can't ignore the bartenders' lack of awareness to basic handwashing standards. Hopefully management sees this and can review with them that any time you are pulling bags of trash it's critical to wash your hands immediately there after. Not go back to making cocktails including handling fruit and garnishing drinks. Yeah...gross read more

We ordered multiple drinks over our stay at the DeSoto here and enjoyed every one of them. The staff were knowledgeable and provided excellent service. It was great talking to Shorty, who provided quality recommendations for Savannah. A fantastic atmosphere to sit, relax, and try a new cocktail! read more

We had two delicious old fashioneds from Proof & Provisions over the weekend. They'll make them to go as well. We were staying in the De Soto hotel (which I can't say enough good things about) and this bar is cozily ensconced in its lobby. If you're an old fashioned fan, these were excellent. Strong and not too sweet. read more

My husband and I decided to get away for a weekend and stayed at the DeSoto. It was our first visit to Savannah and we weren't sure where to eat. So, we decided to sit on the lovely patio at Edgar's Proof and Provisions. We ordered a charcuterie for an app. It was huge. They even added on a mushroom pâté the kitchen was trying out. It was delicious. Perfect for a warm afternoon. For dinner I had the peach fried chicken with macaroni. It was so delicious. The chicken had a little kick to it, and the macaroni was rich and countered the spices. There was live music, patio lights, and the location is the perfect place to watch the city go by. Very romantic. read more

Went early Friday evening, sat at the bar, it was chaotic. Bartenders seemed disorganized and were serving customers randomly, not based on who arrived first. Drinks were average at best. Took an inordinate amount of time to pay. We left without eating as it wasn't a pleasant experience. So many wonderful bars nearby, don't waste your time at this one. read more

So I saw on their Instagram they had a special drink just for Pride Month.....I went to the bar and asked "for the pride drink" and the lady didn't know what I was talking about. I showed her the Instagram photo and she then told me she didn't know how to make it. She asked if I wanted the menu and I told her no I just came for this drink. I then contacted the company through instagram and I told them now disappointed I was since I drove out to their bar just for this drink just for them not to have it, they got to me rather quickly and apologized for the mix up and they would have the drink for me if I would go back. I did and the bartender said she would try her best. The drink isn't what they had in Instagram but it was still very pretty and good. I wouldn't go back unless they had another specialty drink but if I did I would make sure they actually had the drink l. read more

You need training. We are very disappointed in the service at Edgar's in Savannah. After hearing our good friends were insulted, we assure you we will also not be coming back. It will do no good for Lauren T. or whatever her name is to try to do damage control now. Too late. We do suggest, however, that she should get training and only after she gets training would we even consider setting foot there. The problem is that we will have no way of knowing if she's sought such help - meaning training - so game over. Cheers! read more

During a run around Savannah I found this place that would be perfect for Sunday Brunch. A bit away from the touristy area (which can be a good thing) we got there minutes before 11am since they didn't take reservations and wanted to make sure we sat outside. Now hear this: Bottomless mimosas for $20! The only catch, from 11am to 1pm. So be sure you get there on-time if not you'll miss out! The food is really good. The girls were interested in having a caesar salad with shrimp and a side of grits (which btw they were so amazing!). I opted for their biscuits and gravy served with two poached eggs. YUM. Maybe things change at night, but during the day this place was great. If you want to leave the touristy side of Savannah, I suggest this place. read more

Alyssa was our server and she was amazing. Very nice, friendly, and accommodating. We came for the bottomless mimosas and they did not disappoint. The patio area was nice with live music but we opted to sit inside. Was not too crowded and everyone helping had on masks. The food was good a tad overpriced but it was a hotel so it was to be expected. The shrimp and grits tasted great.... the Cobb salad could have had more added than the lettuce. All in all I would definitely come back read more

I don't know why this place isn't rated higher. We've been here for drinks twice now and have had great experiences. We came here most recently on a Saturday in the afternoon for some day drinking. We sat on their patio, and had so many seating options. They have couches with fire pits at one end, and a lot of tables and chairs that make up the rest of the spacious patio. The bar overlooks Liberty St, which is a relatively busy street, though not as busy of an area as about a block down. We came here when it was raining and really enjoyed spending time under the roof watching the traffic and weather that afternoon. Service is very kind, but drinks are pricey. Come for the patio, spend a lazy afternoon people watching read more

Francis, our bartender, was Amazing! He makes a great old fashion, and I ordered a specialty cocktail called Old Summer reckoning... delish. We had great conversations, and he was fun to be around. Definitely stop by for drinks. The ambiance is cool also. We will absolutely visit every time we are in town! read more

Great bar in the hotel, drinks are great. Service is decent, would love the bar to be wiped down on occasion but staff were very sweet and friendly. Lots of area to sit down and relax with your cocktails and converse. read more

This was our first time and had a great experience. Starting with the terrific cocktails we had a short wait for a table for four. Our server was attentive and responsive. The apps and meals were delivered in a good amount of time, not too fast or too slow. We all enjoyed the meal, two of us had the shrimp and grits - amazing. Great experience. read more

We were waiting for a table down the street but the wait was over an hour so we decided to get some drinks here. I think bar seating would probably give you a decent experience but ours was not great at all, mostly due to our server. In looking around, another server seemed to be more responsive and on the ball but it was clear ours had no interest in being at work. It's okay, everyone has off days but at least try to put your game face on. So we sat down, a big group of us. As our server was getting the table ready, some left to the rest room so I asked if we could go ahead an order some drinks. I proceeded to order 2 drinks, straight off the menu with no alterations and some plain fries. 3 things. Many minutes later, she is taking everybody's order, and I order some poutine. She asks me what I want to drink so I told her I ordered earlier. She then explains that she didn't take down the order so I need to order again. Reminder: no one else ordered at the time since they were getting settled in and I only told her 3 things we wanted. 3. So my friend next to me basically experiences the same thing and in a hilarious way she was getting agitated with him and told him she didn't have anything to write with so that's why she didn't take the order. The next hilarious thing was that when the water came out, only 3 people out of 11 got any. It was this way for an uncomfortable maybe 5-10 minutes. In her defense, she did apologize that 2 other tables ordered at the same time and that's why things were so slow. Let me tell you, it was not that busy and there were no other big tables out there. The food was hit and miss. The poutine was actually decent and the drinks, once they came, were good and that is what saved this place from 1 star. The pig in a poke was liked by some but not others and the one I tasted had a freezer burn quality to it. Some of the cheese plate was also decent but the brie pictured was inedible. In the name of science I smelled and tasted a small piece and it was pretty awful. It smelled as if left unrefrigerated in a dirty sock locker and tasted equally as bad. There are few things that I have eaten in any restaurant that was universally disliked and this was one of those rare moments. read more

Edgar's Proof & Provision Savannah - Brie. Trying to be nice here, but it was nasty. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Meh. Great service. Super attentive and kind. We didn't like the ceviche...bland and fishy (cardinal sin with ceviche). When in the south stick to the Southern faves and the foods Southern Kitchens and chefs do best. Like the low country boil. That was better. The cheese burata tomato toast was not impressive. The cocktails are adventurous but a little underwhelming. The location is prime and sitting out doors in October here is nothing short of sublime. Again, wonderful attentive responsive servers. Who when she figured out we didn't like something offered to "take it off the bill". Again...meh. read more

The restaurant is located inside the new boutique hotel called De Soto- it used to be Hilton before. It just opened two months ago in June 2017. We were seated immediately but it took the server a long time to attend us. To start with, we got the cocktails- most of their cocktails are bourbon and whiskey based, which I love. I got the whiskey sour and it was great. My friends got the old fashioned and forbidden fruit and loved it as well. I loved the variety of cocktails on the menu but the only thing that was disappointing was the service- took them forever to get us the drinks and the place wasn't even crowded. For appetizer, we got the zucchini chips and poutine. Both were average and poutine wasn't really poutine- just fries with cheese on them. For entree, we decided to get the BLT salad and it was good but nothing extra ordinary. Overall, the place has a lot of potential but since it's new, I would wait to give it another chance. I would definitely like to come back soon for the cocktails though. read more

This new bar and restaurant went in where the Red Lion Lounge used to be in the DeSoto Hilton. Now, I've lived in Savannah before--years ago--and the DeSoto seemed run-down then, really a blight on the Hilton chain to be honest. The building is a sixties or seventies modern juggernaut, it was sorely in need of renovations, and the Red Lion Lounge had a repute of being simply sad and tired. However, the DeSoto recently sold to new owners and I believe is no longer a Hilton property at all, and it seems many changes are afoot, leading one being the new bar/restaurant. So, I was intrigued to at the least have a drink. The theme here is Bourbons, which is fitting for the South, certainly. The interior is sleek, dark, and large--plenty of room, an impressive, cleaver, display of Bourbon bottles in a wall lit so their orangish-brown hue shines through. It appears there is a dining room off to the south-facing side and maybe some tables to the east as well? Anyways, they don't seem lacking on space. The bar was pretty busy when I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, as well, and while I presume most patrons were hotel guest some like myself may not have been. The bartenders are friendly and prompt. The menu includes--for food--a variety of expected Low Country dishes such as shrimp and grits, but I didn't order any food so I cannot comment on that. Between the food and ample cocktail offerings however, I can say they provide variety and at least whomever devised the menu had an eye for alluring, varied, and aptly regional choices. Gazing over the cocktails plus bearing in mind my fondness for Bourbon, rye, and whiskey in general, I ordered a Sazerac. The bartender made the Sazerac right before me, which was both nice and not so nice. For one, he used Bourbon instead of rye--which is passable yes, but rye is traditional and never did he ask me for my preference nor did he ask what specific Bourbon I wanted. Come on, dude, you have a Bourbon-themed bar and could probably double the price of the drink if you get me to order it with some Blanton's or one of the higher-end Jeffersons or Pappy's. At least, try. The drink he made, now, it was very good. It really was. But I felt this was very poor form for someone tending bar at a supposed craft cocktail bar focused on Bourbon to not ask for specifics when a Sazerac is ordered. Yes, it's listed as a menu cocktail, meaning you probably have a standard way of doing it, but it's also a classic cocktail (possibly the very first invented in America, btw) so you always should ask how the customer wants it made. That aside, I enjoyed it very much and also had a great conversation with a couple who are planning their wedding here in Savannah in November. It's a chill bar, it has a good location, too. I just hope they can make it slightly more polished so it doesn't seem like a substandard hotel bar: the raw ingredients for something above the water are all here, and for that and the actual quality of my drink, four stars, but some customer service aspects need rapid attention. read more

I have mixed feelings about Edgar's. I came here for summer 2017 Restaurant Week. Portions of the appetizers were fine. Portions of some of the main dishes, like the scallops, were so tiny. I read that you get 4 scallops, but even with the side of pickled vegetables, that didn't fill me up. Don't come here starving. Seems like your best bet is to eat here if your main priority is a drink. read more

Our dinner reservation at Room 1540 for a Tuesday night dinner was booked about 3 weeks in advance, but the host called to tell us there was an event preventing us from sitting at 6:30. The reservation time was moved to 8pm but we received another call a few hours later saying the reservation needed to be completely canceled but we'd be taken care of at Proof & Provisions. We arrived at P&P at 6:30 and the bartender didn't know who we were or have any of the details. We were sat and brought menus. We had our drink order taken and 10 minutes later, they arrived. Food orders were taken (two appetizers and two entrees) and the food came out all together about 45 minutes later. The peel and eat shrimp was good but served with cocktail sauce (why?), the fish tacos were overly spicy, the purple grit fries were mushy and tasteless and the burger was fine. The waitress came by our table maybe one other time to check in and disappeared after our food arrived. As the manager at The 1540 Room comped our dinner, we left a tip and got up to leave. As we stood on the sidewalk waiting for the Uber, our waitress comes running through the restaurant screaming "you pay, you pay!". Pretty embarrassing to say the least. During dinner, several other tables were sat and experienced similar issues/delays. There are a lot of other places in Savannah to eat, so if you're in a hurry or want a decent level of service, I would not recommend this location for dinner. read more

What a disappointment. Three of us met here for Savannah Buds and Burgers Week because their short rib burger was in the top three on our list, and none of us had been here before. We never made it to the burger. I won't bore the gentle reader with everything that went wrong, but it still took almost 45 minutes before we were able pay the bill for two beers and a wine and get the hell out. Incredibly inept service, hot beer on tap (keg cooler was found to be unplugged), overwhelmed solo bartender, no bourbon menu offered (bottles are all locked up in glass cases), loud children (seemed to be the only food available at 4PM on Sunday). This hotel should be ashamed of itself. Never again. read more

Writing this review late so I don't remember what I got but what I do remember is it was fantastic food and pretty decent service although kinda slow but it was a busy night so I won't count against them too hard. Great water which is very important to me, and every bite of food I had was incredible. I would also like to add I had outside dining on a nice night after it was dark so the atmosphere was amazing. I did not go to the restroom while I was there but if it's anything like the rest of the restaurant then I would say they're nice. Final Rating: 4.2 read more

I got two words for you, s.l.o.w. And I don't mean gin...(ha, a bar joke) I mean it was alright. There are three "levels" to the place. The first level when you walk in, a place for dining. Then up just a few stairs to the bar area, then up a few more to the "library" area, where you can sit, talk maybe watch a game on the TV or play the table shuffleboard game - which is cool. The whole place is pretty open, so the levels aren't confining, yet it makes it difficult for the waitstaff to see who needs what when. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure they care. Yet it was my first visit so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. read more

This place had a lot of potential. Great location, great looking menu, great outdoor patio. However, the food was very boring. I ordered a salad with mandarin oranges, they didn't offer a protein for it, and the salad was seriously about the size of a side salad. It took us 40 minutes to get our drinks, and most everyone ordered wine. They messed up somebody's order from our party, and she ordered a turkey sandwich. They forgot to put the turkey on it. They definitely knew that we were not happy. I would suggest new management, or training and education for staff read more

Sat at the bar, bartender Shane was right on with menus and greeting with drinks. My husband and I ordered the beef short rib poutine and the southern seafood chowder. We planned on sharing it.

We had high hopes when we arrived for a quick outdoor brunch yesterday. The atmosphere and live music were setting The stage for what we hoped would be a nice time. Unfortunately the food and drinks were a major disappointment. I'll overlook the bad service, the waiter was slammed but seemed nice. The surly bartender? He roped into helping him was efficient enough I guess. But my apple pear gin and tonic tasted like flat tonic and the pancakes crumbled like they were made with sand. I've never experienced that texture with pancakes before but it was terrible. My husbands burger was decent so we split that. Would not return. read more

We came here based upon multiple listings for best Bourbon bars in Savannah. This is not one. Really wanted to like this bar, has all the right components - however the staff is cold, and the actual whiskey options extremely limited. And Edgars Bourbon is a waste of money. There are so many opportunities here from live music to library whiskeys, but ultimately this is a hotel bar with no soul. read more

This place is proof positively one of the best dining experiences of my life. The food, service, ambiance and live music was incredible. I had the fried green tomatoes (amazing) and the garden bird then some of my husband's grilled brisket-one of the best sandwiches of my entire life. Actually one of the best things I've ever tasted. Period. The music was wonderful. Such talent. Thanks for a perfect last night in Savannah! read more

I've only been here to grab a few drinks. Decent service each time, even during the "snow storm" we recently had and they wete very short staffed.

Will definitely try some snacks next time. read more

Anyone think it is appropriate to charge $35 for a Manhattan? I mean, Angels Envy is good rye , but this outrageous.

The patio was nice in the rain and the biscuits and gravy weren't bad. Everything else was a total disappointment. My husband had to go inside several times for basic things like milk and sweeteners for our coffee, to ask for our check and to tell the server of the problem with my meal. The problem being, I ordered the fried green tomato benedict and they came out with only english muffin, egg and hollandaise. No fried green tomatoes or greens. And the hollandaise was made from a powder which left a gritty texture in my mouth. When it was pointed out, I was given a plate of 3 fried greens tomato slices, that's it. Also, we never got our waters or the hot sauce we asked for. I could be more understanding if the restaurant was busy, but we saw no other tables. read more

Opportunity to be a great place. Location, spacious outdoor seating, decor, etc. but service was just terrible.

I came in here for a cocktail and dessert about 4 pm. For dessert options, I had a hard time deciding, but ultimately, the bartender helped me select the peach hand pie with ice cream from Leopold's. I only intended to have a few bites, but it was so darn good, I finished the entire thing. My drink, a daiquiri with vodka (my request), was also fantastic and went nicely with my dessert. I had a great bartender who was both funny and entertaining. If they can do desserts this well, I have no doubt that their meals are fantastic. read more

Lucky late night find in Savannah! The outside made it look really over-priced but actually had some reasonable small plates. Shared with my mom a BLT salad and Truffle fries. Really good.

Sat out on patio while waiting for a table at The Public. The server who sat us basically told us not to order food or drinks because The Public is notorious for quoting way too long of wait times and we wouldn't have time. Uhhhh okay. We ordered anyway and we were still there while we waited an hour like we were initially told. It's like she didn't want to serve us! We ordered the BLT flatbread to share. AWFUL. Like terrible.
