    If you are looking for craft cocktails masterfully put together with no less than a pair of teasers, a sprig of organic herbs, homemade syrups and minimal eye contact, this is your spot. We patiently waited for 3 espresso martinis and it was worth the wait. The decor gives ivy school graduate with his first finance job, newly decorated by his mom's decorator as a "yay! he is employable gift", apartment. Dark, stocked bookshelf's with rando frat like knickknacks and sports stuff. I guess if you dream of finding a guy named Bradley or oak, this is your spot. Downstairs bartenders were so chill and amazing. Thank goodness for to go cups!!!

    Excellent bar. Chill vibes. Beautiful decor. Incredible cocktails made by a talented staff. New favorite place in Savannah

    Malik and the two selections of whiskey we drank. Loved this place!

    This place rocks! Although it has a very unassuming presence from the outside and its storefront entry, once you walk in the vibe is an elegant and sophisticated environment. Malik greeted us as we entered. The bar and lighted shelves with at least 100 choices of whiskey...and yes, there were other liquors as well. I inquired on a few bottles that I didn't recognize, Malik gave me a small taste of each. I loved that! I ordered '2 fingers' of each whiskey served neat. Malik recommended with both whiskies I try it over ice. So he also gave me a beautiful ice rock in a tumbler to try drinking each whisky since they were both higher in alcohol. This was a super nice touch. The Whiskey was welcoming to outsiders, a sophisticated but not stuffy environment, great music playing, and LOTS of great whiskeys to enjoy. If I lived in Savannah, Malik and I would be hanging out on a regular basis drinking fine whiskey! Whiskey lovers have to try this place.

    The numerous 5 star reviews don't lie - we visited this place twice on our trip to Savannah and would've gone a third time if they'd been open! Loved the twists they put on some originals and their creations -the almond joy was my favorite and the perfect blend of flavors without being too sweet. We'll be back next time we're in town!

    This is a swanky place with great character. Plenty of places to sit by the bar, by the TV, or outside. I only ventured to the top floor. Service was great as well.

    22 November 2025. I believe I was a subject of racial profiling here last night. Bouncer who told me his name was "Jack" denied me and my coworker entry. Man in the photo attached would not let me in because he said he saw me stumbling up and down the rails earlier that night and I was too inebriated to enter. I asked him what he was talking about, I hadn't been there yet all evening as we just left our hotel room. I asked if it was another Asian guy just looked like and he doubled down saying it was definitely me. I asked him to check the security camera time 745pm on 22 November 2025 or better yet, breathalyze me. He refused. And called four other gentlemen to back him up. My coworker is an African American man and I am Asian and we felt very unwelcome. No facts he made were substantiated by evidence. I was excited to show my coworker this place place I found and had been coming to for the past year as evident by the previous positive review I made a year ago. All the bouncers but one was reasonable and professional but at the end of the day refused our entry and service. I took this photo to document our negative interaction and the bouncer with a full beard and mustache then told me that I was banned from all their establishments. I encourage the owner to educate this young man and train him on decision-making, analytical skills, de-escalation skills. A bit of emotional intelligence will go a long way to this gentleman here. It would do wonders for your business and clientele. Please CHECK your surveillance camera for all the facts. I'm also happy to discuss further. -Vince Thiengtrong *previously posted on Google Review in November 2024. Andrew makes amazing cocktails (had the old fashion and penicilin). He takes great pride and care in his craft the the customer service is top notch. Ever since I found this place I stopped going to the Alley Cat. I've been back here three times now and I will be back every time I visit Savannah.

    Great drinks and even better service! Buck was the absolute best!!! Going back for sure!!!

    We are visiting Savannah and stumbled on this place! Fantastic! Buck the bartender made the experience even better!!!

    We came here for my birthday drinks and it was so much fun!!! What such a vibe! It was packed when we went but we were able to find a spot in the back. We had Bourbon Bramble and the Blue Lavender Daiquiri and Espresso Martini's. They were all wonderful but the Bourbon Bramble was the best!!! The bartender was really nice and really cool to talk with we can't wait to come here again!

    I can't remember what this drink was called but it was delicious
    Evelyn D.

    Malik was absolutely wonderful. He had a vast knowledge of whiskeys and alcohol in general. He was so polite and funny. Definitely made our 2+ hour visit worth it. The atmosphere was very comfortable, and clean. We were so impressed with the selections. We will definitely be back to see him and visit!

    Great whiskey bar.

    We visited The Whiskey both nights we were in Savannah. Great old fashions, ambiance, service and they know their Whiskey and how to create a great time!

    Midnight Sun is a bar/lounge/restaurant located in the Savannah Westin. The bar is located on the…read morefirst floor towards the back near the gift shop. There is lounge space, a few dining areas, bar space, and outside to enjoy if weather permits. I stopped by twice during my stay. There is also a Starbucks inside. Once I came for a to go order and a latte. The latte was perfect and the same price as a normal outpost(yay for no upcharge). I ordered the chicken tacos which were delicious! They had picked red onions and shredded chicken. Extremely filling for $12-14. My second time I came with a group for late drinks and the place was booming! I enjoyed a goose and club soda and then a champagne flute. Both were delicious but on the pricey side(total $30).

    Bourbon+Chocolate=Happy Husband…read more Happy Husband=Happy Wife When we heard this lounge has over 115 bourbons, plus a case of local chocolates...well, it was a no-brainer that we would be spending time here. Although we almost couldn't! Busy Friday night (this lounge is in the Westin which is across from the Convention Center), we came back to the hotel around 10:00 only to discover the lounge was packed! There was NO where to land....especially disconcerting when several tables were taken up by families with children. Seriously folks? Even the kids looked like they knew they shouldn't be in there! Sadly we went back to our room...bourbon & chocolate lounge denied! At this point, we were thinking, why the heck would you have such a small lounge for a convention center resort? Fast forward to Saturday night and we practically had the place to ourselves. Which meant we had an awesome Bartender Gal practically to ourselves, giving exemplary service. Husband could happily get his Bourbon on, and he did it justice! (We have the bar receipt to attest to it...not that they were outrageously priced, but because he tried a "few" (cough cough). He literally had a book-full of bourbons to choose from, and only one that he requested couldn't be found. Meanwhile, I was happy with a couple glasses of decent chardonnay at a decent price. We also tried two of the chocolates that are in a glass case near the bar. We tried an orange one and a slightly spicy one. The latter was the favorite. They were very small and okay, but nothing thrilling, especially for the price (near $3 each). By now we had made friends at the comfortable bar. We also realized food would probably be wise to soak up some of the alcohol, so we ordered Calamari which came on a bed of spinach. It was a giant bowl that we didn't put too much of a dent in. Tasted good, but was pretty rich and oily. Overall, this is a great lounge/bar that is especially wonderful if you have a Bourbon lover in your midst!

Saigon Cafe on Waters Ave. closed, and that was the last place I knew in Savannah that served that exquisite, clear soup. I always get chicken soup (pho ga). The new owners are doing good work, but I'd been spoiled. The broth doesn't have the depth, and it isn't hot enough. It's gotta come smoking, fogging glasses, clearing sinuses. But Boomy's brings the broth. I've been there two or three times, and it's my new pho go-to. The noodles are wider than At Saigon Cafe, but that's fine; they hold their bite longer without getting mushy. Please note: Boomy's is a bar on Congress Street in Downtown Savannah. It's wheelchair accessible and laid back. A Dad out with his two young boys asked if one kid could use the bathroom and was welcomed ... no purchase, no hesitation. And a lady in a wheelchair with her companion and her dog ducked in for a soft drink and a rest. Everyone's welcome. Nothing about its façade or dive-bar vibe suggests it serves bangin' Vietnamese food. Waitstaff is quick to show you the burger menu on the back, in case pho isn't your jam. Because they serve Thai food as well, they're careful to have you choose your heat level. They're happy to give you pepper flakes on the side and Sriracha at the table. But my pho didn't need it. My lunch companion got the rare beef pho. The hot soup came with thin slices of beef wrapping in foil on the side. Drop it in and it cooks. Looked delicious. My pho ga was amazing. I rarely can eat it all, but I did that day. My only minor complaint is that the bean sprouts looked a little less than fresh, but I'm not a big fan of them in soup anyway. Didn't slow me up one bit. But I AM a big fan of their cucumber and tomato salad. Cukes, chopped tomatoes, grated carrots, and maybe grated radish were all dressed with fish sauce, maybe rice vinegar, and a little sugar. If I'd had some cilantro I would have added it; cilantro is expensive these days. Can't blame them for not including it. It may be available by request. Oh, and try the cocktails. I had the tequila cooler and subbed watermelon vodka for cucumber vodka. So refreshing. Go to Boomy's. Get there on one of the few remaining cool days of spring. Or if you come down with a spring cold. Or if you work downtown in an office meat locker, go to warm up from the inside out. It's worth the hunt for parking.

    I believe it's so very rare to find restaurants like this one. Me and my husband celebrated our 4…read moreyear wedding anniversary in July at this establishment. The staff here treated us like family from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. When we arrived we were treated by kind face seated and handed a hand written note congratulating us on our anniversary. When our waiter came he took his time explaining beverages with us and specials. And then continued to answer our questions with care. You would've thought he was just our tables waiter by the way he paid attention to detail and cared about every little detail. The ambiance is the old bus station and they lean into the historic aspects of their building which I highly enjoyed. Some highlights of our meal were the jalapeno corn bread. Which may I be honest and say was the best corn bread I've ever tasted in my life? Along with the coconut curry dish I received. You can tell the dish was truly thought out and had a purpose with every bite. I loved that at the end they brought us lavender pallet cleansers. I loved these so much I started utalizing them at home. My absolute favorite of the whole evening was surprisingly our free dessert. It was almost a marshmallow flavor but crunchy. I think about them till this day! I am happy to say we will continue to spend our time together at the grey. As it's truly brought back a love for American restaurants that we didn't know we had lost.

Looking around at the tables around us nothing really caught our eye after reading the menu, we didn't want to leave since we were able to get reservations so we got some starters and shareables. There was a couple next to us who was having the same dilemma after over hearing their conversation. The kale salad was okay but a little bitter for my liking and the potato soup had a thick layer of oil on the top which looked intentional but wasn't our cup of tea. The cornbread and mashed potatoes were good but nothing crazy in our opinion to write home about. Service was okay on our end, once our waiter realized we weren't getting any main entrees it felt like he ghosted us with no water until our food came out and then never came back to check in on us until he brought the check. We are going to try to come again next time we are in town in hopes we have a better experience and different menu!
