The bar
Chris W.

This is a local pub where you can find beer by the bottle (no taps) and play some serious pool. They have three pool tables, where most players brought their own sticks and kept score on official score sheets. There are only three booths to sit at inside, in addition to a large bar. We brought our child and it's probably not a place I recommend bringing children. If the weather is nice, there are a few outside tables as well. The place was not smoky, not sure if it is officially smoke free or not. FOOD The Philly cheesesteaks and chicken wings are the two items that are their specialties. Cheesesteak The cheesesteak was good, with soft bun, good chopped steak and perfect toppings of onions, peppers and cheese. Chicken Wings The chicken wings were good. You can order them normal or crispy. We ordered the garlic pepper, which were mild in seasoning, but delicious. The seasoning is a dry rub, not a sauce. Fries The fries were seasoned fries and very delicious. I am pretty sure it's the same garlic pepper seasoning as used on the wings we ordered. Tater Tots The tator tots came with the cheesesteak (or you can get fries but we already ordered a side of fries). There were a lot of tots! They were cooked with a nice crispy outside. I would have preferred more craft beer options but that was not really what this place is. This is a no frills bar with decent food and was very clean. They do a great job with the objective of a pool hall bar.

Diamond in the rough. I debated writing this for quiet sometime, just out of pure selfishness. This place is the perfect "dive bar" with exceptional food and customer service. All their food- regardless of its traditional bar theme- is homemade, fresh and will have you licking your fingers. The potato skins are honestly the best I have ever had. They bake, hollow out and re-stuff them by hand - adding everything you'd ever want. The mozzarella planks are fresh cut and fried - making them extra cheese and gooey. The chicken wings are the best in Savannah- so many flavors and cooked perfectly. Oh and the Philly cheese steak is simply divine. Which is to be expected since the owner is from Philly. However, we were for sure skeptical before we tried it, but we're insanely happy after. Plus it's served with their perfect French fries that I swear are coated in some sort of addicting seasoning. If you're lucky, they might have some Philly cheesesteak egg rolls left. The drinks are affordable and served by some of the most personable and kind bartenders. The atmosphere is not for the proper or pretentious; rather they welcome all just the way you are- smelly after work, salty after a day at the beach, exhausted after life gotcha down. This place is an extension of home- but even better because you don't have to cook, pour your drinks or clean up after yourself

I live across the street. They lost their original cook and it's all gone to shit. Sorry to say.

With Covid19 it is GOOD TO KNOW that our local business owners have adopted "Safety First" when addressing their patrons!!! Mask wearing is enforced and we have a patio area to BREATHE!! Thankful BOB and STAFF are aware of the significance of OUR HEALTH!! Great Menu to go and GREAT HAPPY HOURS!! A Staple in the community when you just gotta get a break and home style lunches start at 11A.M.!!

Norwood Tavern is a small bar that... According to reviews has great food. U shaped bar, and a couple booths (the latter lit by super bright fluorescent bulbs). Took my parents here a few days after Christmas for a quick meal after reading reviews. We sat in one of the booths... And waited, and waited. 15 minutes in, I went to the bar and asked if we should order there, or if they had table service... "Sorry, we're doing shift change. The bartender that starts at 7 will be over soon" (at 7:15). 7:30 rolls around. Both bartenders are still behind the bar. One is fratenizing with the 5 guests they had, the other is chatting with kitchen staff. I ask the same person if we'll be served, and ask for menus. I get 2 menus for 3 people, out of the big stack they had. 7:40, and we're sick of waiting. Initial bartender is gone. New bartender is stacking cups on the bar rail. I ask miss "starts at 7pm" if we will be served. A drunk patron tells me that she "isn't my bellhop", and the bartender laughs, and says... No, she won't be serving us at the table. This place was mostly empty... Maybe 5-6 people at the bar. We would have been completely fine with ordering from the bar, but how freaking difficult is it to walk over to a table and tell us that, instead of completely ignoring us? Why did the previous bartender assure us that we would be taken care of? It was much more expensive, but we ended up at Pearl's around the corner and had a fantastic meal. The cheap prices might be enticing, but avoid this place... It's pretty dumpy and the service is nonexistent.

Great local pub in Sandfly who's owner by a guy from Philly who serves awesome bar food. Do yourself a favor and get the appetizer sampler and be sure to order the mozzarella planks. Once in awhile they have Philly cheese steak egg rolls which are amazing. Solid selection of bottles and can, no tapa and plenty of liquor.

The Bar Bar is more than a bar. The owner makes the most incredible smoked pulled pork. The taste…read morewithout the sauce is phenomenal but add one of his five home made sauces and it's unbeatable. I had a sandwich with the red raspberry chipotle sauce and mixed the Alabama white sauce was the best.

If I could give it a 0 I would…read more I had a very disturbing experience at The Bar Bar. My wife and I came in expecting a normal night out, but from the moment we walked in, something felt off. We called ahead and got no real acknowledgment, and when we arrived, no one greeted us or even looked our way. We ended up seating ourselves, and still--nothing. No service, no eye contact, no basic hospitality. What made it even more uncomfortable was that we appeared to be the only Black couple in the entire place, and the lack of acknowledgment made us feel completely unwelcome. It honestly felt like stepping back into a time where people were judged and ignored based on how they looked. That's not a feeling anyone should experience anywhere in 2026. We didn't cause a scene--we simply got up and left. But the experience stuck with us. Businesses should be places where everyone feels respected and acknowledged, regardless of who they are. I hope this place takes a serious look at how they treat ALL customers, because no one deserves to feel invisible or uncomfortable just for walking through the door.
