    Nice view
    Felicia W.

    Great venue/space! Nice selection of drinks and apps. The service was decent and the music choice just ok.

    One of my favorite roof top bars! Great views of the river and $3 rose! Ordered food for a quick bite the spinach dip and feta pasta were amazing. Our server McKenzie was really tentative, gave us good recommendations and served us quickly. Most of the staff members were warm and welcoming and even joked when I was left to finish my drink outside of the restaurant. Overall this rooftop bar has great menu options that is suitable for all.

    The view.

    As a beer drinker I was no impressed with the selection. I was impressed with the view and the staff. Very nice staff, friendly and prompt. If you like mixed drinks this would be a great spot to try.

    You will not find a better rooftop view for sunset, period. The drinks are great here, and the crab cakes here are incredible, but the view is the river, the bridge, and the sunset is unmatched. If you're in town, you can't miss going here.

    Day drinking in Savannah offers lots of options, we met up with a few friends during our trip over from Hilton Head Island for an afternoon of cocktails and good conversation. After a mediocre lunch down by the river we decided to find a venue with a great view so we landed here. The interior bar was mostly empty and the rooftop deck had a few patrons drinking local brews which is pretty abundant here in the "Hostess City of the South". We opted to sit outside at a partially shaded high-top table facing the river, fortunately there were a few fans pointed our way to cut through the humidity. This is a beautiful bar and the service today was exceptional which may be attributed to the number of people here but none the less this was my experience others seem to feel differently. There are lots of choices here whether you're a beer drinker, a whiskey aficionado or a wine connoisseur - I chose a can beer brewed by the local Service Brewery named Señor Delicisos, it was ice cold and served with a lime wedge, it's a play on the Mexican lager beer industry and a delicious rendition I must say. I was hoping this perch would provide an exceptional view of any giant container ships that may be entering or exiting the harbor, unfortunately there was only one older smaller vessels that was less than impressive but it still offered something to look at through our beer goggles. This open air rooftop bar is very clean and organized with great furnishings inside and out, our server Kenzie was on top of things and checked in often without being a distraction. This is definitely a spot I recommend trying out if you're in town or a resident...

    After walking around in the hot Savannah heat we stumbled across Top Deck Bar. We decided to eat an drink indoors instead of their massive patio. Service 5 stars. Our waitress had a lot of tables, but didn't seem to handle going all over the restaurant. Food: 3 stars. I would say for a bite to eat or appetizers it was good. We pretty much ordered all the appetizers and crab cake sliders. Ambiance : 4 stars. it would be a great place to have a sunset bite or drink to watch the sunset.

    Wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. We ended up here after learning that our first choice of rooftop bar was closed for a private party (annoying) as this had happened to us a couple times lately with rooftop bars. Anyway, most of the bad reviews were based on bad service, but we had a great server! Ask for Kenzie, she was very attentive and quick! Had a great view of the river and bridge and the drinks were pretty good. I knocked off one star just for the lack of outdoor ambiance and the plastic cups they use.

    Food was just alright, it's not worth it for the price taste wise, quantity you get your bang for your buck but nothing stood out to me that was jaw dropping good. Service was alright the employees could tell we were not from Savannah so they helped where they could, they did seem a little annoyed but I'm not sure at what and I'm also dramatic maybe we were be annoying It looked like a fun bar for sports games though just not a girls bachelorette trip the locals sitting next to us talked to our party more than the employees

    I went there looking to do some remote working and I was out of juice. They were lovely and gave me a great spot where I could plug in. Had a drink. Fold was good. Service was excellent. Great decor and views.

    Crab cake sliders? Or a crab patty??

    Everything here needs improvement asap! It took over 30 minutes to get our charcuterie board as well as the correct drink that I ordered as soon as we were seated. We were told no substitutions "bc the volume of customers was too high". So I ordered what I originally wanted and told the waitress I would take the item i didn't want off myself. And like magic our food came out quickly and without the topping I didn't want. But I'm guessing the reason it was so quick was because instead of getting crab cakes I received crab patties that taste like they came out of a can. It takes forever to get anything here.

    Stayed at the Cotton Sail while in Savannah and after a post dinner walk up and down the river - we decided to have one at the rooftop deck bar. They had obviously had a crowded night - bc the place was a wreck. Ordered a couple drinks and sat out on the ledge. This would be a cool spot to go and hang out in the fall - but summer time at peak heat could be uncomfortable.

    I'm giving my 5-star review as someone who went to Top Deck just for drinks and the sunset view. My husband and I took the elevator up to Top Deck rooftop bar knowing that there were a lot of people and we may not get seats (you can see it from the street). We got pretty lucky when we walked outside to the roofdeck, as a guy came up to us and asked us if we wanted their seats since they were leaving, and they had the two corner seats that faced the street/bridge! I had a spicy pineapple margarita, and my husband had a beer. My drink was fantastic, not overly sweet, definitely had a kick to it, I found a jalapeño seed and everything. I can say it's one of the best margs I've had in a while. This place is highly recommended for the drink+sunset experience in River Street!

    The bathroom (sorry if it's disgusting) yes I took a photo because this is ridiculous

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!

Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.
