So this was the 5th stop on our Savannah Bar Crawl. So we did not get food but I think this place had the best drinks. The bartender made an amazing old fashioned. The bar is set up really well and is very clean.

Cool bar. 1st of the afternoon. Friendly bartender.

Nice bartender- he has a great personality . Had a great time. Lots of drafts! Tons of TV's! Drop on in!

Rhubarb and strawberry gin, paired with sprite.  Pineapple juice in the background.

New bar that has it together! I saw the rhubarb strawberry gin and had to try it! The bartender paired it with sprite. I was looking for a quiet bar on an otherwise rowdy Saturday night and Octane fit the bill, right after an extremely loud dinner date at Tequila Town.

We were doing all underground bars, but since two were closed on a monday afternoon, this was a substitute. Happy we picked this one, the bartenders not only makes classics properly, but he whipped me up a rum creation of his that was a delight!

Peach harvest drink while playing battleship. Win-win.

This was my first time at Octane. The bartender was so nice and we chatted while she made our drinks. They have a full bar, and also a drink menu if you're interested in specialty cocktails. I had a drink with fresh peach. They also had several games on the tables. I don't know if they do this all the time, but it was a fun, unexpected treat! My fiancé and I played battleship. He had never played before! Can you imagine? We had great drinks, played a game, enjoyed the intimate size of the bar. I'll for sure be coming back. I'm glad we happened upon this place!

Tried out this place while in Savannah for work, very tasty and the bartender was very nice. We went during the day time, so it was pretty empty and I noticed he was having lunch prior to us arriving, and I really appreciated that after he made our drinks, instead of eating infront of us, he took his food out of our view and didn't eat infront of us. I thought that was a very professional and thoughtful action. he also recommended some restaurants so that was very nice

Cocktails are beautiful!
Tinko C.

Enjoyed the experience so much. The bartender Huey was so knowledgeable about cocktails and introduced us to some we did not know about. The scene was Lit!

Alright, so I've put off going to this new bar because it is where 520 Wings used to be housed... Like HOW DARE YOU. But, we walked in this past Saturday and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a cozy little bar with a great beer selection. Bartenders are super friendly and accommodating. They also have a bar downstairs! Bonus! Bartender made us a cocktail that tasted just like sweet tarts. I hope this bar sticks around!

A mojito and the signature "Bad and Boujee" cocktail made by Chris!

This bar is hands down one of my favorite chiller spots to hang out at because the staff is very friendly and they have a great selection of beers on tap and cocktails!! Depending on the vibe you're going for, the upstairs is a bit more lively while the downstairs is good for a chiller hang out spot. Will say that I was surprised by how clean this bar is. Many of the bars in sav can get a bit messy at times however this bar has been a consistently clean environment every time I've gone. My fam loves the signature cocktails, they're so authentic and you can tell the guy who makes them is really into his craft. I highly recommend y'all check out this place!! It's got such a good vibe!!

Top floor, 32 beers on tap!!
Rhea P.

I checked out this place after hearing from a few friends that's it had just opened. I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised to find that it had such a relaxed vibe. The staff is so friendly and greeted me as soon as I walked in. They had over 30 beers on tap to choose from so I went for the tybee blondie which I thoroughly enjoyed!! There's an upstairs and downstairs and both have such a good atmosphere. The bar itself has a modern upscale feel to it, exactly what I'd look for when I want somewhere to relax and have a few drinks. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! You won't reg

It's located on top of The Alida hotel (also one of my fave boutique hotels) in the historic River Street district. I've had the chance to visit The Lost Square both during the winter and this past week during the summer. They have a great view of the river and cozy lounge seating, as well as a full bar. The first time I visited was near Christmas and it was freezing outside, but they had a burning fireplace and the cutest little enclosed glass houses you could sit in to enjoy your drinks. During my recent visit, we had our 1 yr old son with us and decided to have dinner there and enjoy the weather. I had the Valencian Spritz (reposado, orange aperitif wine, fresh orange, white pepper, and cava) which was the perfect summer drink. My husband had the Soft Light mocktail (zero proof gin, papaya, kefir, and saline). For food, we started with the Labneh dip topped with olive oil, za'atar, and honey with fresh pitas on the side. Wow, this has got to be the best pita I've ever had. They were so fluffy, warm, and well seasoned. We even got a second order. The labneh dip was phenomenal -- highly recommend for an appetizer or just a snack. We also shared to the falafel bites and the Alida Burger which was very tasty! We'll definitely be back for another visit the next time we're in Savannah!

What a beautiful picturesque place to have some bites and cocktails!…read more I was welcomed into this moody, velvety spot with a sweeping view of the river. Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

For those who may not know, this restaurant is renowned for the one of a kind decor which showcases the culture, beauty, and diversity of the African continent and cultures woven throughout.

For my meal, I ordered the African vegetable and dip sampler plate which was fresh and appetizing, as well as the lamb meatballs, which were very flavorful and feeling! The meals on the menu are small plates. One thing that I would like to see for this restaurant in the future is to have full plates on the menu. This will elevate the experience, I heard another patron mention this as well. It was special to dine here on Juneteenth. Cheers!

I do think a nice gesture of having a free dessert, being it was our anniversary, would've been nice (just a future suggestion). Street parking available and a game bar is next door, if wanting more fun entertainment after dessert!

But our hotel was down the street, so we kept passing by it... and every time, everyone outside looked hot, clean-cut, stylish, and very millennial. So eventually we were like okay... clearly something is going on here. The inside is casual and kind of quirky, but in a way that somehow totally works. Very 1950s. Loved the climbing monkey lamp. The bartenders were awesome. Super friendly, fun to talk to, and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. They made us modified espresso martinis based on what we liked/didn't like and absolutely nailed it. Then I got a pickle martini with no vermouth and it was honestly one of the best martinis I've ever had. Like genuinely incredible. It's my new fav.

The crowd is another reason we keep coming back, it's always a good mix of people, and the atmosphere just makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the night.
