    Tony and I stopped into the Rusty Rudder Tap House for a $4 PBR 16oz..he the bartender called it a tall Boy...but not to the master PBR drinker Tony lol! The atmosphere was nice. It was dead except for a few shooting pool in back. I drank ice water w lemon! Tipped bartender $1 entire bill plus tip was $5 I would go again! Definitely recommend!! Full Bar Service!

    Full-service bar with many beers on tap! The bartenders are welcoming. -one pool table (need cash) -lots of seasoned locals -prices are a little high -few restrooms (clean) -a couple of casino machines Hint: Ask for the Washington Apple shot! Nom nom!

    Came here on a night after work with some colleagues for a nightcap and to watch the game. We were greeted by an enthusiastic bartender and I was equally enthused to find out they had rumplemintz. It's a solid dive bar with pool tables and lots of bar seating. I liked how unpretentious it was, and that the staff were friendly. We had a few shots and couple round of drinks and to my surprise our tab was very affordable. Not used to seeing that at bars lately I thought that was a plus! It may be one of my go to bars in Savanah when I'm back for work!

    This is an absolute gem of a local spot if you want to have a cocktail with super attentive and friendly Service/Staff. We love going here to unwind at the end of the evening and have a nightcap. Cheers!!

    Look, this is a bar. It's staffed by friendly people, and they have some decent craft beers on tap. They have multiple TV's behind the bar, and they're in what's arguably my favorite city to visit, but... At the end of the day it's still just any bar in any city, there's nothing bad about this place but there's nothing really special about this place either, I'd stop here if I was in the mood for a drink but not seek it out for a good time.

    This was our 7th stop on our Savannah Bar Crawl. The service here was great. We did not get food, and the drinks were average. The bar was very clean and relaxed atmosphere.

    Rusty Rudders Tap House is on the "other" side of River Street. It is the less travelled section of the street. Lot of hotels going in here though so I'm sure foot traffic will pick up. We stopped in around 3ish during the day. Nobody in the bar other than the staff. The bartender was very friendly. I would recommend this place for a drink. Very laid back when I was in there. I heard it may have more energy on weekend nights. Full bar (duh) and a decent selection of draft beers on tap. They only have Copa wines, which are the prepackaged individual servings. There is a pool table if you are in to that. Again, laid back bar. Good bartenders on staff. They do take plastic and cash. I would recommend.

    Great place! Food was delicious! So good we went twice on our five day trip to Savannah!!read more

    Hi Everyone, So…read moreyou're dressed for the concert and maybe your seeing and are anticipating your delight while you listen to John Cougar Mellencamp, KC and the Sunshine Band, Chicago, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Martin and Martin Short, or the Motown All-Stars (e.g. "Holy Mackerel Ethel, we have to check out the Johnny Mercer, it's got some great shows." Rolling her eyes as if to say, who knew? As she has been saying this for years, as she utters, "Good idea, Geddes.") at the Johnny Mercer Theatre that starts at 7:30 PM. But where to eat, how to get to the restaurant, and back to theatre on time for the concert while making it easy, no stress, fun, relaxing, taste enthralling, thrilling, care free, laid back, exciting, entertaining, safe, and logistically possible? Well, let's see Sweetpea. How about we arrive at 4:30 PM, and park at the Liberty Street Parking garage, right accross the street from the Johnny Mercer Theatre. Easy, check. Next we get an Uber to the Six Pence Pub. Why? No stress, check. We start our meal, with one of their adventuresome, tasty, cocktails which are all fantastic. "But how about getting to the Concert?" Right now, we're having some fun hanging out with our friends and catching up. Fun, check. Please remember Poindexter (I.e. my name for my conscience), we're not driving until after the concert is over which leaves us about five hours to recover from our cocktail before dinner, or two, you Devil you! Relaxing, check. We next get to experience eating some of the most delicious food in Savannah, GA. From the Crab Cake, to the Scotch Eggs, to the Smoked Salmon to their bombastic Broiled Portabella, their appetizers were both savory and palette pleasing. Then our companions had their outstanding, tastebud tintilating, French Onion and Chicken Noddle soups which are both made from scratch. Yea, yea, French Onion and Chicken Noodle soup, big deal. If you have not had it, I am here to tell you, there is nothing ordinary about either, as both were very delicious. We then dined on their Open Roast Beef, their Tender Pot Roast, their Atlantic Salmon all of which offered a very pleasing, tremendous taste in their own right. However, the Broiled flounder stuffed with shrimp and scallops was so exceptional, we ordered another two of these entrees so we could all share this dish as part of each of our meals. Taste enthralling, check. Please note, I did not write the words, "Pub Food" above as the Six Pence Pub's fare will thrill your tastebuds right down to the last morsel. Thrilling, check. Our Server was exceptional, timely, and personable. Care free, check. Our ambience was simply Pub delightful! Laid back, check. But then the bill came and lo and behold our friend had to stand and do a little Irish jig, or did he have to go to the bathroom?... Nah, it was the very reasonable pricing that pleased us all as we scampered to catch our Uber. No, wait a minute, we did not dine and dash. We would never dine and dash. We tipped our Server handsomely, paid our bill, and then we all scampered to catch our Uber as we were all feeling wonderful. Exciting, check. We made the show with twenty-five minutes to spare, which left us enough time to buy our lovely dinner companions a show Tee Shirt to memorialize our evening together. Our show was extremely entertaining which thrilled us all, to no end. Thanks Steve and Martin, you're the best! Thrilling, and entertaining, double check. Logic dictates that when we were able to throughly enjoy our evening while having an easy, no stress, fun, relaxing, taste enthralling, thrilling, care free, laid back, exciting, entertaining time that it is, in fact, logistically possible. Logistically possible, check. And yes, we were safely able to enjoy our ride home while we all talked about how much we enjoyed our evening together. Safe, check. So what is the acronym or memory mnemonic here? ENSFRTETCFLBEESL But how do you pronounce it? Ya'll figure it out. I did almost all the work here in writing this review, lol. Enjoy!

But I had never made it to Pinkies until this most recent visit, which came with the department from my company. Our guide gave us some history of the bar, including how former President Jimmy Carter paid a visit or two during his presidential campaign in the 70s. When you walk inside, there is a definite local and historic vibe to the bar. Dark green booths with a U-shaped bar as you walk inside. Framed photos cover the walls of locals from years past, including President Carter's. Drink-wise, they have some excellent cocktail specials. I ordered a Negroni, which I could take out with me since Savannah has an open-container ordinance where you can walk around town with alcoholic beverages so long as they are in a plastic cup. Very cool spot. But do note, it's cash only so make sure you bring cash. They do have an ATM on-site but you would do better going to the bank to do a withdrawal if you don't want to deal with additional ATM fees.

Their steak prices have gone up a bit, but the quality matches the price. I started with the French onion soup, a must. It's a hearty portion it a nice size crock.

I definitely do not regret our decision as we had a great meal. The interior ambiance of the restaurant truly transports to another place, it is truly beautiful. Our server was so gentle and gave us many recommendations on things to try and even accommodated some of requests. We started with the Espresso Martini and non-alcoholic French 75 (my first time) and these were both great. For appetizers, we had the crab croquettes (cakes), escargots and caesar salad. Everything was delicious (including the complimentary bread) , and to our surprise the Caesar salad had a nice crunch with the addition of fried frog leg pieces (if I'm not mistaken). The main entrees were the stars of the night, while we were originally inclined to try their Steak & Frites, our server recommended the steak tips sautéed over mushroom sauce with pasta and this was the perfect match instead of the classical French fries pairing. We also had the Supreme Roasted Chicken with caramelized veggies and everything was cooked to perfection. We did not leave without dessert and tried their Créme Brûlée, and while it was runnier than usual, the flavor was there. We thought it needed more time. Overall a great experience while in Savannah!
