We came for a Friday dinner. The ambience gives prohibition bar vibes. They set us at a high top - not a great choice for dinner, but the service was good that we never had a table with old plates by the time we got something new. Food was incredible. Steak (ribeye) was prepared perfectly. Dessert (panna cotta) was delicious. Great bar as well. We tried a classic (Negroni) and a house suggestion (gipsy tears). 10/10
Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience with our food or service. However, the manager was amazing and apologized and said our experience was not typical and I do believe him. He ended up comping both of our meals and asked us to please return to give them a second chance and we definitely will.
Food was delicious. Interior was well decorated and clean. Our server was quick to assist with anything needed. They gave us a dessert on the house for my birthday which I appreciated. Great experience and great place to go for a celebratory dinner of sorts. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and it was one of the best restaurants we had while in the area.
Visited Repeal 33 for a Happy Hour date night and it was fabulous!!! Highly recommend you stopping by for a quick bite or full dining experience. We sat at the bar, ordered a drink and enjoyed so many plates! Warm wood finishes, exposed bricks, and more Edison bulbs than you can count. All of these details made our experience cozy and relaxed. We treated the Happy Hour menu as if was a tapas menu, sampling nearly all the items available. The staff was so friendly, attentive, and helpful as we made our selections. Baby Back Ribs - Tender! Charred Wings - Spot on! Crispy Street Corn Cannoli - Light & Bright! Red Curry Rockefeller - Such a fun twist! Single Smash Burger - Top-tier simplicity! I am looking forward to going back to try their dinner menu!
What is an adorable spot with great interior and nicely stocked bar is in fact just an average bar due to below average food and not terribly prompt staff. I really wanted this to be a 5-star review but it was just not happening. Drinks are good, but it takes a while to get them. I asked for a beer list and was told - they are listed on the wall...well excuse me it is a dim interior and I don't see it.... Grilled octopus tasted fried, while sourdough bread tasted as if it was baked 5 days ago and was just heated up to soften some. Not impressive at all. On the positive side interior is adorable!!!
Can't say enough good things about this establishment from the decor which is a throwback to the prohibition era to the service, which is excellent and attentive. I really like this place. Ordered the Southern schnitzel. An outstanding dish with a generous portion of schnitzel, chicken breast and collared greens. Overall if you're in Savannah try this no place!
This place self-identifies as a "Bar & Restaurant," not the other way around. They take their cocktails seriously, even listing their beverage director Jim McCourt prominently on their website. It pays off. My drinks were things of beauty, innovative, and delicious. But the food didn't disappoint either. In fact Repeal 33 is currently my "best meal ever", a position I expect it will hold for quite some time. I decided on the Progressive Tasting Menu as a way to try more things than I otherwise would. 6 courses, the first 5 decided by the chef and the diner chooses any dessert for the 6th. The portion sizes were about half of normal appetizers and entrees (except the steak which was close to standard) and altogether was plenty, while still leaving room for dessert which was normal size. Drink 1: Bon Appetit: bone marrow infused bourbon Old Fashioned. I was dubious: bone marrow in a cocktail? My very good waitress Carolina allayed my concerns: it's not there for taste but for body and it's only "washed" with the bourbon, not added directly. My curiosity was piqued so I ordered it. This simple classic did not disappoint. Strong, with an assertive oily lemon presence, a single large ice cube, and a curiously distinctive small cherry. A very large whiskey collection is offered. Scan QR code for the list. Course 1: Cod Croquette with Creme Fraiche and Caviar. Lightly golden fried and delicate in taste, elegant served with its edible flower garnish on an elevated plate. Kind of small but the courses get bigger as they go. Course 2: Grilled Octopus (charred eggplant puree, pine nuts, golden raisins, arugula, chili crisp). Beautiful presentation, and I have never had better octopus, not in the slightest bit tough. Course 3: Potato Gnocchi (mushrooms, sage, cranberry, brown butter, parmesan). Light in texture, subtly sagey, and the parmesan in the form of "noodles", somehow with an almost noodle-like texture. Drink 2: Emberline Swizzle (rum, spiced pear, lime, mint, bitters): Similar to a mojito but elevated to a thing of beauty. Everything in perfect balance: the alcohol (lots), the sweet, the sour, the bitter. Visually striking in the glass, layers of colors, the big mint leaves bright and fresh. This is the one that convinced me: mixology is truly an art form, and one in which Repeal 33 excels. Even the ice gets serious attention: each of my three drinks had a different form of ice, appropriate to the style. Course 4: Pan Seared Halibut (cauliflower puree, sweet & sour cauliflower, brown butter caper sauce, sunchoke chips: almost perfect except for being very slightly overcooked. I liked the two forms of cauliflower, especially the subtle pickling of the sweet & sour. Nicely browned top and the crispy chips added interesting texture. Course 5: Grilled NY Strip (duchess potatoes, creamed spinach, horseradish bordelaise): their interpretation of a classic steak house meal. Perfectly cooked medium rare (they didn't ask and I trusted them to cook it correctly), topped with the sauce and micro greens, a generous portion. Perfect potato. The creamed spinach was out of this world. It sounds so unappealing so I usually avoid it. I'll probably continue avoiding it because I can't imagine anybody else's coming anywhere close. All courses were brought at the right intervals (I was never rushed), were served hot and on a warmed plate if appropriate, and new silverware was brought for each course. Drink 3: A mocktail this time. There would be driving in my future. "Peace In the Garden" (Seedlip Garden, lavender, Earl Grey, lime). Same attention to detail as the cocktails, with everything in balance. With the moderate sourness tangy and refreshing I almost didn't miss the alcohol. The room was dim and done in dark wood tones, with the backlit bar and its many bottles glowing warmly in front of the antique brick wall. Unfortunately as a solo diner I didn't get a great view, sitting at a two-top against a wall of wine bottles; probably the table they try to fill last. Watching one of the runners repeatedly emerge from the kitchen, each time in a jog and bellowing "order" was pretty entertaining though. The music was mostly 80s rock: Bowie, Men Without Hats, Funkytown, Blondie. Not too loud, it was in balance with the other sounds: diners engaged in animated conversations and the ever-present clacks of cocktail shakers. From what I overheard of conversations this is quite the "foodie" place. A group near me could be overheard often discussing the nuances of what they were eating or considering. Apparently obsessed with "bone marrow" because those words drifted over to me through the din several times. Two other parties, a couple and a single, appeared to be similarly food-obsessed based on their overheard conversations. Course 6: Pumpkin bread sundae, with gelato, bourbon sauce, and candied nuts. The bread heavily spiced, and gelato smooth and strongly vanilla scented. A good choice to finish this fantastic meal.
Amazing dinner! A must when in Savannah. Came here for dinner last night and left thoroughly impressed. From start to finish, everything hit the right note. Sara, our server, was an absolute gem: attentive, friendly, and just the right amount of chatty. We kicked things off with cocktails that were chef's kiss fabulous. For starters, we shared the beet salad (made with gorgeous golden beets and all kinds of delicious) and the Brussels sprouts, which deserve their own fan club. Perfectly charred, bursting with flavor -- these are not your average sprouts. For the main event, we split the chicken schnitzel, and wow... crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. A total comfort food win.
Meh, my second sort of mediocre review of a Savannah establishment this trip. An eye appealing sort of rustic redux redo of an office building place. They've a nice and accommodating staff, clean; we made reservations and got in with no issues. Drinks were $avannah (ahem) prices. Good appetizer; we had the Mini-lobster rolls - warm lobster, sweet, and an appropriate appetizer sized portion. For dinner, I had the halibut; very delicious but very small, AND a bit pricey too for an appetizer/tapas sized portion entree - pretty disappointing there guys. I was done eating at a normal conversational dining pace, while everyone else was not even halfway through theirs. I left kind of hungry. Maybe your experience will be better than mine.
Brussel sprouts were crispy and well seasoned. Halibut was also good. Ordered too much food and could not enjoy the dessert. Autumn bramble cocktail was also good, but a little too much ice. Quick walk from hotel. Glad I stopped by. Restaurant is very dark. Service was good.
Prohibition Vibes, Warm Service, and a Happy Hour Hit I was in town for work and needed a bite close to my hotel since the on-site restaurant was closed. With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, the city was buzzing, but it was raining and I didn't want to walk far. Repel 33 turned out to be the perfect choice--literally around the corner. I walked in and the Prohibition-era aesthetic set the mood. The staff made the place feel both classy and welcoming, a hard balance to strike on a rainy evening. The happy hour menu was a standout, lineup that included oysters, smash burgers, and delightful cocktails. I went with an Old Fashioned and Smash burger which hit the spot and felt perfectly suited to the vibe. I also indulged in Rockefeller oysters from the main menu, which were a tasty highlight and a nice complement to the overall experience. If you're looking for a nearby spot with a retro, inviting atmosphere and solid small plates, Repel 33 is worth a visit
Officially top 10 vacation meals of all time. Ee may have had a religious experience. The vibe is very chill and service was relaxed. Loved it. We started with cocktails. The guys got the old fashioned that was bone marrow infused and loved it. My sister got a regular old fashioned. I had the Elder Swizzle. It has the good ice and was very light. A great cocktail list! They had a special appetizer which after two seconds of describing we got. Think spinach dip but kale but also infinitely better. We had to ask for more bread. The guys also got the pork belly. For mains, I think mine won. I got the salmon. Sweet fancy Moses. Not a single bad bite. My brother in law loved the halibut but agreed the salmon was superior. My sister really enjoyed the smash burger. Hubby got the schnitzel and cleared his plate. Said it was perfectly cooked. Dessert. Y'all. Icebox banana pudding. Hands down. I'm not knocking the Nutella torte we got bc it was delicious especially with the gelato but the nana puddin.... Babes. All in all. Amazing meal and great vibes.

Everything, every person is a solid A. Thanks for fun happy hours, delicious dinners and great drinks to go. read more
We came here on vacation to celebrate my husband's birthday and had an amazing time. We came for Happy Hour beforehand and they had great deals on before dinner drinks. We then enjoyed the chef's tasting menu and everything was fantastic. Our server was attentive and made it work with us needing to attend a tour after dinner. We received free house made limoncello for my husband's birthday. We had our baby with us and they were very accommodating to a space for her. Our daughter gives the steak a rave review :) read more

While walking around in Savannah we decided to stop in at Repeal 33 for a drink and appetizer. We sat at the bar and were greeted by a friendly/helpful bartender who guided us through the menu. The vibe was chill, warm and cozy. For an appetizer we ordered the Elote and it was some of the best Elote I've had in a long time. The appetizer portion was a good size to share with my husband. This Elote tasted soooo fresh and so did all the ingredients. My husband ordered an old fashioned with Buffalo Trace and he said it was really good. Since we were bar hopping we didn't stay long and headed to our next destination. The food and service were so great we'll definitely come back for a full meal. read more
Before anything, thank you Caleb from Blown Studios! Had it not been for him, I wouldn't have even known about this gem of a place. That said, I went there being told that the Old Fashioned and that the octopus were to die for, so what did I go ahead and do? Order exactly that! As it stands, I went in without a reservation. Fortunately for me I was alone and snagged a seat at the bar, where I was attended by Charlie, Christopher, and Mark. All very nice people by the way. Anyhow, ordered the Old Fashioned that they're known for, the one with bone marrow, and this was out of this world. Yes, sipping on it at first was a bit odd, but the flavor snuck up on me and I loved it. It was the right amount of bittersweet if that makes any sense. The octopus I then had was so fresh and delightful that I had it all. I'd have ordered something else off the menu, but I had a reservation at a nearby dessert restaurant and didn't want to use all my stomach space for the savory stuff. Had I done so, I'm sure anything else would have been amazing. The ladies next to me had the scallops and the sight alone was heavenly. Definitely a place I will return to next time I find myself in Savannah. read more
We were lucky enough to snag a couple of bar seats for a Friday evening dinner at Repeal 33 & I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Savannah! The first thing that caught our attention was the ambiance. The low lighting, warm wood, & plants in the walls made for what I called an "upscale dive bar" feel. The quality of the food & drinks, however, far exceeded what you'd expect from a divey spot. The cocktails were super inventive & the wine list was great too. For food, we decided to share several dishes - all of which were delicious! We got charred octopus with eggplant, crispy brussels in a tangy dressing, rich bone marrow with snails, & a bass special over a mountain of veggies. Where this location really shines is in the small plates - they're great for sharing & there were so many more I would have wanted to try too! Finally, service was great. The bartenders were all really attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. It was among the top places we went to on this trip for me! Food: A- Drinks: A Ambiance: A- Service: A- read more

Dined here for a date night recently and found it to be good overall. The service was attentive and friendly, nothing to complain about in that department. The food was good, nothing great. Portion sizes were reasonable for the price. The steak was cooked well but was lacking seasoning and probably a lower choice cut as it didn't have significant flavor from marbling. The schnitzel was very good, not quite homemade good but still better than I expected. A bit noisy but I like the aesthetic they had. read more

Limited menu and VERY loud. My watch kept telling me I was in a loud environment! We had the Brussels sprouts, pork belly, whipped ricotta toast and the salmon entree. Brussels sprouts were great - lots of vinegar. Pork belly was good- I was surprised by the over easy egg hiding on the bottom- not a fan of eggs like that so moved all the pork belly to another plate. Whipped ricotta toast was somewhat sweet and had lots of ricotta with hot honey and smashed broccoli. Small portion of salmon for the price but was very good. Honestly I wouldn't return based on the limited menu and the sheer volume. I'd try something elsewhere. read more
On our inaugural visit, we were greeted with an exceptionally relaxed ambiance. The staff exhibited remarkable friendliness and professionalism. We indulged in oysters and beverages, which were exceptionally delectable. We highly anticipate returning for future experiences. read more

A great historical building with tasty food. So many items to choose from, had a hard time deciding and I will be back. I had the Japanese Eggplant. I am not a vegetarian, but it was so delicious, with different flavors of the lemon ricotta, the crispy Eggplant, the delicious sauce. My husband got the muscles and the beat salad, also delicious. read more
Delicious options in a cool vibe bar setting. We sat at the bar because they were booked up on a Friday night as expected. I had the wings and whipped ricotta toast, both excellent. My husband had the smoked steak tar tar, octopus (which had a great crispy texture, probably the best I've ever had), and the bone marrow which was huge, the bartender suggested a bone marrow whiskey or bourbon marrow infused and he loved it. My friends scallops were slightly undercooked is the reason for the 4 stars, everything else was delish. Make a resy if you can. read more

Our 21 year old son decides this is where he wanted to celebrate his birthday. What an excellent choice! First, a thank you to Sarah P our awesome server whose eyes are a work of art and she has a beautiful personality to match. We had the charred wings as an appetizer--yummy! All the entrees were GREAT! The ribeyes were so tender and cooked to perfection. I had shrimp and grits--delicious but rich, must have been all that creaminess. The fish of the day was very good and our final choice was a flatbread and salad (size is shareable). We love the look of the restaurant and seating is comfortable. I'm not sure why a fishy smell greeted us at the door. We either got used to it or it was only in the front near the hostess stand. The bar was a popular spot with many drought beers available, signature cocktails, and wine. Give this place a try, birthday or not! read more

Solid dinner spot on our Savannah trip. Dark prohibition type ambience with a side of a barn aesthetic. Service was solid and on top of it. Food was all really good. Appetizers were all great --we had 4 in our party of 3 1/2. . We had oysters with house sourdough bread and super tasty butter mixed up in house. Also the wings and house duck flatbread special which was amazing! Steak was cooked perfect to order and scallops were super tender, large, and on a tasteful bed of risotto and butternut squash puree. So good! Burger was huuuuge. Few nice Mocktail options for those trying avoid alcohol which we appreciated. Wine selection was also nice with glass and bottle options reasonably priced. Variety of seating options indoors from booth to high tops to tables {and high chair for littles}. Solid choice all around. read more
Amazing restaurant in Savannah! One of the best! I am sad we had not tried it earlier! We made reservations. Which I believe was a smart move. The place was full! The decor is really cool. Service was spectacular! Our waiter Hunt was very attentive and had great suggestions. The food was what we came for, and it did not disappoint! We started with the shrimp cocktail. The peach cocktail sauce was really good. Then the fried brussels. They were super flavorful! cooked perfectly. For the mains we got a burger and the chicken schnitzel. That burger and fries were one of the best I have ever had! Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The Chicken was really good too! A ton of food! We left here full and happy! I cannot wait to come back again and try more of this menu! read more
Solid upscale gastropub... I found Repeal 33 while in town for work... Very good and super chill environment. The restaurant is half pub, half high end French-ish style cuisine. The mussels were out of this world delicious... Some of the best I've had. The mixed lettuces salad was also excellent. For the main, I got the halibut... It was good, but a touch over cooked (about one minute less on the pan sear and it would have been perfect); it came with a succotash, which was a bit different, but still good. You can tell the culinary team is well trained by the eclectic menu and creative presentation. Our server Rhett was outstanding, which made for a great meal... I'll definitely stop back when in Savannah again. read more

Excellent quality food, generous portions, highly attentive knowledgeable and friendly staff! When ordering straight liquor such as tequila "on the rocks," there's an option for a "big rock" -- a single large cube or traditional ice. Nice touch to a classy, well-run place with a chill vibe. read more
Cozy environment and definitely a must for reservations on the weekends. The drinks are fantastic but $$$. The food is just lacking though. We tried three appetizers (Charred wings, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, and the street corn) but I felt like the flavor could have been more. We all ordered an entree (two had pork chops and one had the saffron) and we all felt the same way. Like there just wasn't that much flavor and it should have been more prominent in the dishes. The food was expensive for what was given. Either they are short staffed or service is just slow. It took 20 minutes to be given water and service from the waitstaff and everything else was just as slow. I probably wouldn't go again but also encourage people to try it if they're interested. One thing to note - the staff made it clear to us that they weren't family friendly. There were 3 tables with young kids near us and it was just a bizarre comment to make. read more

While staying at the hotel next door, I found myself in the mood for a cocktail. I took a walk next door to Repeal 33. I was pleasantly surprised by a great looking bar and incredible service. I love a darker bar. They had great house cocktails each night, that actually had alcohol in them. Along with the cocktails were great happy hour items, snacks, and starters. This place wasn't even on my radar, but I found my self going back a couple of times. Each time I had a great cocktail and some great food. The entrees looked amazing as well. Repeal is certainly worth a stop. read more
