    The Wayward is a rather fun whimsical full bar with lots of craft beers, free popcorn, and a classic motorcycle suspended from the ceiling. It is not, however, a biker bar. In fact., the patrons seem to be rather upper class and all are very friendly. I had a couple of mixed drinks which were done with a generous pour of spirits while enjoying the good ambiance of the place. To have a good drink, and enjoy the ambiance of a fun bar, The Wayward is certainly worth a stop.

    Jacob with the long thumbs makes incredible cocktails- rumor is if you beat him in a thumb war you get a free beer.

    This review is only for the to-go Old Fashioned. Hubby and I stopped in while on a haunted pub crawl. It was stop #3 of #4 on the walking tour. We both ordered the Old Fashioned to-go. They use one large ice cube that fit perfectly in the cup. The bartender used Four Roses bourbon which we both really liked. It was a different experience drinking an Old Fashioned from a plastic cup, never the less, very tasty. We definitely enjoyed them! Also, the bathrooms were very classy and clean!

    Cute upscale place to grab a cocktail. They have a game room accompanied with 2 ski ball tables ($1 per game). There's an ATM in the hotel next door which is attached to Wayward. Word of advice: Don't try to sit on "Toucan Sam". I was trying to be "cute" and thought it was bolted to the ground. Well it's not. Then when I started wobbling I thought it was like a see saw. Well it's not. Let's just say I'm surprised I didn't bust my "A.." like the bartender told us after the incident happened. He said a lot of other people make the same mistake, but it ends up being a lot worse. Overall cool place and friendly staff.

    This was such a lovely place! It was very dark and inviting! It was small but in the best way. There wasn't any loud noises and everyone sits at the bar. I believe there was an outside area but we didn't go out. They had a popcorn maker and you could help yourself. I ended up getting the Wayward daiquiri which was very good my friend thought it was too sweet but I enjoy sweet cocktails. Would come back again!

    If you are in search of a good old fashioned or a bourbon based drink, this is your place to go. With great cocktails, seating available inside as well as outside and free popcorn, you can't go wrong with this bar. The bartender, Tart is the most friendly bartender you will ever meet. He is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about the area including the best places to eat around. I tried the Boll Weevil and my friend tried the Peppa Pina and they both were delicious. I don't like sweet cocktails so these were perfect and refreshing. They have a room with video games as well but I didn't go in there. It's a classy place so drinks are around $12-$14 each but worth it. If you love speciality cocktails, I highly recommend checking this place out. Cheers!

    Nice clean stop with good drinks. Not a dive bar. Get a good old fashioned. Kentucky of good mixed drinks to choose from.

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!

There are several drink options with your choice of spirit. The mixologist was lovely! She was super attentive and patient (i knew what I wanted, but was indecisive with all the choices). The prices are normal for downtown Savannah, but love that there's the decor and fun drink options that make it feel worth it. Last call is earlier than some other places, so be mindful of that. Unsure what it will turn into at the end of July, but either way, give this spot a try!

Inspired by Clue, this immersive cocktail experience combines playful themes with seriously good drinks. Perfect for a night of intrigue and indulgence. Drinks: The Colonel - Bold and spirit-forward, with just enough spice to keep you guessing. Of course it's served in a mustard jar and accompanied with some bar pretzels for snacking! The Conservatory - Bright, herbaceous, and garden-fresh in flavor. Mrs. White Meets Mr. Black - Smooth, dark, and balanced with a clever twist.

Professor Plum's Prescription - A rich, layered cocktail that feels like a remedy in a glass... or should I say, bottle! A burglary almost took place but I refrained from taking it home with me.

However, you can always grab a delicious bite to eat from St. Neo's Brasserie and enjoy their beautiful dinning space.
