    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

    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!

Unfortunately, our experience was frustrating from the moment we arrived. The biggest issue was the lack of staff. They desperately needed more bartenders and servers working that evening. As someone who has previously worked in the service industry, I understand that busy nights happen and staffing challenges are real, but this was beyond slow service. We stood waiting for about 15 minutes at the bar trying to get someone's attention just to order a drink. During that time, we noticed several other guests becoming frustrated as well. A few people who had been waiting before us eventually gave up and left, and others behind us seemed equally annoyed. After standing there without any acknowledgment from the staff, I finally turned to my husband and said, "Let's go." We ended up leaving without ordering a single drink. I don't know if the restaurant was unexpectedly short-staffed or if several employees called out that night, but something was clearly off. It's unfortunate because the location is fantastic, and the atmosphere seemed like it could have been a great place to spend the evening. I'd be willing to give it another try in the future, but based on this visit, the service simply wasn't able to keep up with the crowd.

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.

    Stopped into Fiddler's Crab House with two coworkers while in Savannah…read more We started with oysters and fried crab claws for appetizers. Our waiter, Dan, did a great job walking us through the different oyster options and helping us try a variety instead of just defaulting to one type. Always appreciate a server who actually knows the menu beyond "everything's good." All three of us ended up ordering the grilled red snapper, which was excellent. Fresh, well seasoned, and cooked exactly right. Dan really stood out throughout the meal. Very attentive without hovering, and consistently trying to anticipate needs before we had to ask. Service like that noticeably improves the entire dining experience. Atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and very Savannah waterfront in a good way. Overall experience was excellent from start to finish. Good for: casual dates, families, small children, casual business meals

    The restaurant has a great ambiance but the food was underwhelming…read more Our waiter was not that knowledgeable and we asked not to bring everything at once (we wanted oysters first before hot food) but hot food came first before oysters. We ordered a half dozen of house oysters plus mookimoto oysters, clam chowder, fried pickles and crap dip. The small mookimoto oysters were good and the clam chowder was pretty good. The fried pickles were super salty and the crab dip was really cheese dip....not much crab. It looked like nachos. This was not what we expected and was not great. Overall we were disappointed with the restaurant.
