Bar crawling and dropped by. Very chill hipster vibe . Lots of raised nostrils and Daddy's money. Old Fashioned was on point and they were engraving bottles of mid-level Woodford Reserve. Bartender was welcoming and friendly. Been there, done that. Stock notched. You can do worse and better. read more

Staying at the hotel Indigo, so ate in the Five Oaks Restaurant ( checked in as the taproom closed, sadly). Service was okay, but I think it was mostly because of a language barrier. My challah French toast with mascarpone was tasty, but I thought was a small portion. My husband got the healthy choice burrito and he said it was ok. A bit pricey ($17 and $18 respectively), but it a hotel restaurant as well as in a city, so markup was expected (used our voucher from the hotel). read more

Have not tried the food but the service and setting are really a nice place to relax from a busy day of sightseeing. No matter how busy they get, the bartenders absolutely rock and keep the drinks flowing. As hotel guests, we get chits to get drinks and they are well worth the exchange! Come check this place out! read more

The bar is located inside of the Hotel Indigo. While staying a night you receive drink tokens to redeem. Came on a busy Saturday night where it was extremely busy. The bar area is quite small and the 2 bartenders were really hustling. Ended up ordering an Espresso Martini (not included in the drink tokens). The martini was not the best, also not the worse. Just left like it needed a little more sweetness. Hands down the bartenders here really try their best to take orders and serve drinks efficiently. read more

Got breakfast here before checking out of the hotel. Their espresso machine was "broken" so I could only get a drip coffee which was room temp and tasted old. I got a breakfast sandwich and potatoes that were both extremely dry and stale and the croissant was burnt. The bar had good drinks but I was charged $26 for a vodka cranberry in a tiny plastic cup. Would not recommend. read more

Five Oaks Taproom is located in the IHG Indigo Hotel in the historic district in Savannah, which is where we were staying, so this restaurant and bar came handy. Although the service was top notch, the food and drinks were A-OK. With Savannah being such a food haven, I suspect only hotel guests dine and drink here. We came to the bar a few times where it was fun, especially when the bartender, Allie was working. She was super funny and friendly, and remembered hotel guests, which put a personal touch on the experience. The bar itself is not the largest, but has ample room for those getting drinks. There were TVs playing sports and when the place got muggy one day, they brought in a huge fan. Beer on tap was meh. Not a large selection of crafts. Good luck getting a good IPA. The restaurant was A-OK. We dined in for breakfast one day and on another day, I was able to get a breakfast meal to go for my flight home. The food wasn't bad, but not the best. I ordered the crab benedict, which was crab on top of a fried green tomato with a slight zesty aioli. Because of how rich the entrée was, it needed some bread or something lighter to cut through. My breakfast wrap was satisfactory. It had sausage, eggs, cheese, grilled onions and peppers. All in all, Five Oaks Taproom is primarily here for hotel guests, so expect a hotel bar and restaurant. You get the drift. Best part here was the friendliest staff - at the bar and dining area. read more

Haven't even gotten our food yet and I'm already giving this place a zero. Service at bar was terrible. Was totally ignored. Left there and came to restaraunt side. Even worse. Looks like a hospital deli. Menu was absolutely nothing like one online. You can't even order a mixed drink from the restaraunt side and they are joined. If it were not pouring rain I would have walked out! read more

Restaurant week is so hawt right now... it's really "in" through 9 February. That said, I figured I'd take the opportunity to explore a place I haven't tried. I was a bit apprehensive because of the most recent terrible reviews and the overall rating of the place. I decided to be daring and take a risk for myself. This restaurant is located in the Indigo Hotel. You can use their valet or the parking garage right across the street. I made a reservation through open table. They accommodated my wish to be in a booth. The waitress was very friendly and speedy with everything. To start, they bring out rolls. I think a couple of them were a bit stale or over toasted. I couldn't tell which. The restaurant week menu is what lured me in. I ordered the truffle potato soup (yum!), the Gouda-bacon-chicken Mac and cheese, and the tiramisu. I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact I was pleasantly surprised... probably because I did have low expectations going in. The pasta was so gooey and delicious and a heaping serving, which I got to bring home. The tiramisu was really good, no complaints. They did have some interesting cocktails on their normal menu, but I settled for moscato. They had outlets in the booths for chargers. I always appreciate that in Savannah because it's easy to drain your phone! read more

Can't speak for the food as I spent my time here at the bar with my $25 a night drink credit from the hotel. Bar scene is small but worth it. It's a bit pricey but they make a mean Old Fashioned. Honestly it's a simple drink but so many places screw or up. They do it right here. Simple, tasty and well balanced. You won't be disappointed read more

Rude. Gross. ambiance terrible. It was dirty. Management doesn't even care. Just go somewhere else

Avoid the pricey breakfast! The sausage and toast seemed like leftovers from yesterday. Service was marginal. Our server definitely wanted to be somewhere else. The coffee was good, but little else to recommend about this place. read more

We did breakfast there, never again. The wait for food and bill were super long. Total time was an hour and a half . When we arrived there were only two other tables occupied so why the long wait? One person ordered a crab cake Benedict and it cold and inedible, they made my sandwich wrong, the other items (pancakes, french toast and hash browns were ok). read more

My boyfriend was interested in coming here because they had a board outside with their Rib Eye special advertised, and they didn't have it, which was disappointing. However, they were able to accommodate him with their house Rib Eye, and he substituted the side for their Brussels sprouts, which were good and halved and charred with some bacon pieces. The meat was just okay, but cooked perfectly as requested, which can save a steak. Very good. I've stayed at Hotel Indigo a few times, but this most recent visit was during restaurant week, so I ended up getting their Pasta special. It came with a salad, the. salmon, tomato, basil, & pepper pasta with a basil-cream sauce, and then a dessert which happened to be cheesecake! The pasta was good, though it needed salt and pepper, but the sauce had so much oil in it that I couldn't finish it, which was surprising for a "cream" sauce. But, the cheesecake was good, it was more of a dense cheesecake than a light one and had strawberries with it. The service has been always been nice and helpful, but the food is just okay. The beer selection is minimal, but I was grateful they at least had a dark beer on tap for me! read more

Allie (bartender) is the light of this place. She has brought such an amazing energy and connects to everyone she meets! Highly recommend her espresso martini! One of the best I've ever had. read more

There website is old so they don't have food or desserts. Customer service was weak. You had to make contact with them first after sitting at a table with no service for 5-10 minutes. Could do much better being a tourist destination. read more

Ordered a salad with grilled chicken. The salad came out with the chicken half of it was raw and was missing half the ingredients listed on the menu. The bartender took it back and said it would be comped. Well that was not the case, i was charged for the salad and called multiple times regarding the issue and havent received a call back yet. Would never eat here again. read more

Terrible. Just close the small bar if you can't staff it with legitimate service staff. The bartender was miserable and her attitude was even worse. Do not eat or drink here. Too many other options within steps of the hotel this restaurant is located in. read more

Southern hospitality was not alive and well. The bartender seemed annoyed that I was there. They could not take credit cards. Not a problem since I was staying in the hotel. A guest of several nights arrived. She knew his drink by heart. A non-wine drinker has a certificate for wine. She wanted sweet wine. I had the empanadas with chimichurri sauce. Crispy but greasy. The peach salad was fine. The croutons were throw away. For $35 including tip, I had an ordinary wine, ordinary food and uncharacteristic you unfriendly service in a city known for hospitality. read more

Awesome hotel bar! Looks fancy, but they accept patrons in casual attire. Very upscale environment without having to be upscale people. Classy. :) The service is very efficient and the clientele is laid back and friendly. We bumped into a lot of people there for business in Savannah so conversation was interesting and you will not be lacking for company. Gorgeous interior and tasty drinks to boot. Our take-out late night snack of poutine wasn't too shabby either. I would definitely recommend FOT! read more

We popped into Savannah on a whim Wednesday night and we're pleasantly surprised at Five Oaks Taproom. Our server was very attentive, food was good and atmosphere was great! A man was singing and playing the guitar and we enjoyed his music. We had put $10 in his guitar case as a "tip" and on his next break he came and gave us a CD for American Hologram "Same Blue Sky". We had a nice time! read more

This review is based on my alcohol experience only, I've never eaten one bite of food here, but getting back to the subject of my experience, I did get smashed. I grabbed a seat at the bar after checking in the hotel to map out the plan for the evening. I doubt there is a more beautiful venue within a half dozen blocks, the service provided by the tag team duo tending the bar was nothing short of outstanding. These two gals are not simply pouring booze in a glass they are crafting magic over ice. After a few mules the atmosphere drastically improved here without much prodding, as the bar filled up the interaction between the customers and the staff only got better. Although it was a rather blustery evening here in Savannah most of the participants this afternoon were from the northern half of the US and you would of swore they were having umbrella laced cocktails at a Tiki Bar a few thousand mile south of Savannah. Well I am sure everyone's experience here can't be a five star experience like mine and that's too bad hopefully this place didn't screw up your vacation and it was more that nothing could of made you smile the day you arrived... read more

Not sure why it was so quiet (Labor Day evening?), but what a treat! Service was excellent and food spectacular. Hummus, bacon lollis, chicken chicharrones cooked to perfection and if you're into your bacon, chicken skin and hummus you won't be disappointed! The burger with pork belly and egg was moist and juicy and paired with the perfect bun. Grilled Caesar was as described and my daughter has concluded that she doesn't like warm salads. Finished off with the peach cobbler a la mode...and if we had it to do again, we'll be ordering that white chocolate bread pudding. read more

This was my first time in Savannah and stumbled into this place. It is a fairly new spot right off of river street. The atmosphere was low key yet trendy. The bar tender was knowledgeable about cocktails and made a great old fashioned for my boyfriend. I got a Moscow mule that was delicious and refreshing. We sat at the large bar. The rest of the restaurant was a mix of couches, arm chairs and tables. We were here at 8pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty dead. We got the kale and roasted article dip and it was good but tasted a little like flavored cream cheese. They gave a small amount of bread for the amount of dip but the bartender kindly got us more warm bread for the dip. All in all this is a greet place to have a few drinks, apps and hang out! I would definitely be interested in checking this place out for dinner or a night when more people were here. read more

The worst experience eating out I've ever had- we got there at 8:30 for our NYE reservation. I ordered a dirty martini- 9:15 and still didn't have my drink. The service was so slow (2 servers working) we started going to bar to order drinks. By 10:15 we still had not gotten our food- so we canceled everything and left. read more

Nice breakfast! I really liked the B and G sandwich that I got. It was delicious with a good price ($10.5) and portion. We stayed in Hotel Indigo Bay Street for couple of nights.

Food review. If you're going for just the beer, might as well skip me unless "I had one and it was good" is helpful to you. Showed up and they ignored us, so I after about 5 minutes asked an employee if they were open. Just kind of a hi, we're here, would you care for our business. They were! Off we went to our table. The small menu was out of the first three things we tried to order, were I to guess, probably for quite a while. They had been open for about an hour and a half and we were the only people there on a busy street, which was becoming less of a mystery as to why. My burger was... alright. It's the 2 here, I ate more of it than I didn't so I can't really justify the 1 bomb. Girlfriends sandwich had about half a jar of mayo on it and looked like the end of a porno when she first bit into it, my parents got salads that looked brutal and I'm guessing since about 80% of each wasn't eaten were. More about the service, though. We were the only table and it took about 45 minutes to get served, and there seemed to be a bit of annoyance we showed up. Not a solid pick. read more

Sat at the bar with our group that was visiting the area for a few days and we could not have had a better time. Great bar tender who was very accommodating. Highly recommend stopping in for a beverage!! read more

Totally underwhelmed. The food is average and the service is SLOW. I should state that the waitress was nice, and I feel kind of bad throwing her in the mix here, but... it was just so. freakin. slow. Yelp won't allow me to post this as a review unless I add more text, so here we are, babbling on about nothing of importance. -_- read more

By far the most underrated restaurant in Savannah. This gem is located inside the Hotel Indigo downtown on Ellis Square and Bay St. My wife and I had their fantastic take on shrimp and grits as an appetizer. When it came out I thought we had accidentally ordered an extra entree. We followed it up with the grilled caesar salad, which was probably the best caesar i've ever had with blistered tomatoes and my new favorite caesar dressing. I had the Southern potato gnocchi, which was amazing, but when i saw the brisket with blue corn grits at the table next to me, I knew what I was getting next visit. The best part is that most of the items on the menu are sourced from local suppliers. I was a little concerned about prices before we dined since it is located inside a hotel, but compared to what many of the other restaurants in this city cost I was surprised that our entire meal with appetizer, 2 entrees, and drinks was roughly $50. (Keep in mind we went during their daily happy hour so our drinks were 1/2 price!) There is no onsite free parking since it is in a hotel but there is tons of city parking all around the building that is free after 5 and on weekends anyway. So do yourself a favor and next time you are downtown give this place a try. You definitely won't regret it. read more

My boyfriend ordered dinner from here during our trip to Savannah. I saw the pork belly with hopping John (that I've been craving for a while) meal so I ordered that and he ordered the beer cheese pretzel app for himself. It was ready within 20 minutes as advertised but the food lacked seasoning. The hopping john was more like vegetable rice over a mushy creamed corn spread. The pork belly was tough and flavorless. He wasn't too impressed with the pretzels either. We assumed that maybe because the kitchen/restaurant was going to close within 30-60 minutes that we didn't get the best. I wouldn't discount this place based off the one experience but I wouldn't order that plate again. read more

The food was good but couldn't make up for the horrendous service. At 7:30 on a Saturday night we were one of two tables in the restaurant. There were two servers working. That meant our table was the only table our server had, and service was still horrible...I just don't understand. We waited about 10 minutes after being seated before she even approached our table. Her greeting to us was 'do you know what you want?' Not Hi my name is, Let me tell you about our specials, do you have any questions. She didn't know the fish of the day, then she didn't know the price of the fish of the day. Our water glasses sat empty most of the time. She forgot our check....I could go on and on. And on top of that she had a scrunchie on her wrist with several long hairs hanging out of it. Such a lovely addition while she was serving our food. Like I said the food was good, not great though. We had the brisket poutine appetizer, I had the swordfish special and my fiancé had the burger. If the service had been better we may have put this restaurant on our normal rotation but we just can't given how awful the service was. read more

Went for a drink, but the menu looked interesting so I stayed a bit longer. I got the burger with pork belly and it was DELICIOUS! I am not really a mustard so I asked my sweet server to please put it on the side...and I'm so glad she advised me it MAKES the burger and to put it ON the burger because she was 1000% correct, it was scratchmade deliciousness! Service overall excellent! Setting was comfortable with handsome decor. read more

Best bourbon sour - ever!! Shane is hands down the best bartender in Savannah. Great beer selection, but come for the cocktails. Classics and new concoctions.

Staying at the hotel in which this is housed. They have posters/flyers around the hotel and in the elevators for the daily special. If you'll notice, its not listed as happy hour or any time constraints put on the daily special. Went down around 8 and finally someone showed up and acted like they worked there. Asked if the sangria was available per the flyer they have around the hotel. The server said 'at full price' with no explanation of the special being only during certain times (again, not stated anywhere on the poster in the elevator) . Spouse asked if any food was still available or just drinks and server shoved a menu at us and laughed as she said "it's literally right here". I guess we were supposed to pick up own menu as we walked in?? Just unnecessarily rude and not professional. We decided to take our business elsewhere where professionalism is actually a thing. Just another bad mark on this hotel. Would never recommend hotel or their "taproom". read more
