I believe Jackson was our bartender. He was very nice and made an excellent drink The blackout 2.0 that I had yesterday evening was refreshing and very tasty. At this particular lounge, they do have a second floor that you can take a metal slide from the top floor to the second floor every now and then they do have games out, but it was a little bit chilly so they did close off the outside after we had dinner at the Savannah taco and tequila company we went upstairs for a drink. If you haven't been here, this lounge is located on top of one of the JW Marriott buildings. There is an elevator that takes you straight up to the sixth floor. 10/10

We came for happy hour... their specials were quite disappointing. Filipino Styled Chicken Wings - the listed ingredients held a lot of promise but unfortunately the chili oil made the wings super salty. Service was good.

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!

The saboob chakalaka was good and the smoked brisket reminded me a little of the Korean bulgogi flavor.

The food menu is small with appetizers and small plates. I ordered the West African wings and Lamb meatballs. They both were good. The wings had a nice sweet and sour flavor with good fry on the wings. The lamb meatballs were good as well, it arrived on a bed of guacamole and harissa. They were good, a little heat in the harissa and maybe touch of mint would have been a great add. Great service and place to drop in for a few drinks and finger food.

While most of the rooftops are regularly accessible to the public, there's something about Myrtle & Rose which has caused it to elude us. Often, it has been closed for a private party, or perhaps it was full. In any case, we finally were carded and sent up the elevator with the slightly aggressive doors. Yes, they close fast. Keep a move on! We were offered a table overlooking the river and served by Will. My wife enjoyed her Amber Hour, and I an old fashioned. I suppose they don't want us getting tipsy and falling off, since my drink may have had 2 or 3 ounces. A good little taste, but not for long for this Wisconsin boy. Let's not go down the road of it being a "real" old fashioned -- I know and enjoy both kinds. (You must when you also own a distillery.) The two shining points of the evening were the view and our server. This spot offers a nice, close-up view of the river from both directions -- perfect for the occasional ships passing in the night. Our server, Will, was very professional, attentive, and thoughtful. By the end of the 50° night, Will had brought a blanket for my wife. While we can handle below-zero temps at home, there's something about 50° on vacation that gives us the shivers. Perhaps it was the dress -- I'm not sure, since I wasn't the one wearing it tonight. Anywho, finally a great experience was had at this well-done rooftop bar.

The whole place was beautifully decorated every corner felt cozy, cheerful, and perfect for the season.

Overall, it was a great time with a really nice atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to get a. Nice drink.

The afternoon was warm and sunny and we found a cute spot in the shade, facing the water. It was such an inviting place to take in the view and have a drink, while we sorted out our itinerary for Savannah. We were never pressured to hurry up and order or to hurry up and finish so they could turn over our table. It was truly a wonderful experience with a great view. We ordered a beer and a Strawberry Schooner cocktail and later on shared a pasta appetizer. The cocktail was well balanced, not watered down or overly sweet. The pasta dish was definitely freshly made and was satisfying for a quick bite for a mid afternoon snack. Jessica, our server, was attentive but not intrusive which topped off our satisfaction with Top Deck Bar. We could have sat for hours, but wanted to get out and about exploring Savannah.

First, we got a server just out of training named Savannah, who was so extraordinarily sweet and genuine in her service style, yet so patient to answer questions with grace.

Then a selection of James River, Salt Bombs and off the Cape Oysters came through with each having all the delicate texture and mouth-watering savory sumptuousness you'd hope for. We got some fried goodies next and the oysters and shrimp were standouts! Just nothing but good stuff going on here. Take it from me, pop this to the top of your list!
