    Great views, service, and delicious food! The crab cake sliders are the best! So many great appetizers to chose from and $3 rose all day can't be beat!

    I didnt really get to experience all this restaurant has to offer except for the view. I didn't try any mixed drinks or the food. However it's a really nice view of the river and on a clear day it will probably be even better.

    Top Deck was our last stop for the night and it was the best stop! We had a group of people with us and the drinks were flowing! I had a couple of beers but my friend got the Top Deck Mojiot which was so sweet but in the best way! We also tried the watermelon Margarita which is perfect for the summer! It was so refreshing and perfect for the hot summer night. The views were amazing and the staff was so friendly They refilled our water glasses every time and made sure everyone had a safe ride.

    Nice view

    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.

Regan also made us our own unique cocktail too. They are all super reasonably priced for high quality as well! The speakeasy is adorable. It's upstairs, and there is no password! It was simple to find, and someone greeted us and told us where to go. We were also able to leave our umbrella there since it was pouring when we went. The spot is historical and fun. I loved every part about it. Add this to your must do Savannah list!

They have a solid whiskey selection behind the bar if you were looking to do some pours or shots -- pours based on the bottle I saw. They also make some cool cocktails off the cuff. A touch methodical, but they were good, at least the ones my wife enjoyed. Like at every other bar in Savannah, per the ordinances, there is a door person who checks IDs, so make sure you have it. When I walked in, I was gazing around and then all of a sudden, a man appeared asking for ID. They usually have someone watching from the top of the stairs or from the level you enter, but they will check you so keep note if you're not used to bringing your ID with you (not sure why you wouldn't, but I digress).

Naturally, I pulled up Yelp and found this place, which had great reviews. We decided to venture away from the area we had been exploring and walked across the street, only to find ourselves staring at a Chinese restaurant with absolutely no indication of where the sushi restaurant was located. We walked all the way to the right thinking we must have missed it, but still nothing. Then, almost by accident, we looked down an alleyway and there it was--hidden in plain sight. By this point, I was extremely hungry and definitely not in the mood for a game of hide-and-seek. After climbing a flight of stairs, we entered a very dark and intimate space with a small bar area. We usually prefer sitting at the bar, but there weren't any available seats, so the hostess seated us at a tiny round table that felt more like something you'd find in a café. The atmosphere was definitely giving romantic date-night vibes. We ordered two specialty sushi rolls. One was a mango roll, and the other had me sold the moment I saw the word truffle as a special. The truffle roll was easily my favorite, although both were delicious. I also ordered a passion fruit cocktail, which I'd rate a solid 9 out of 10. I don't normally go for sweet drinks, but when on Rome, why not? This was not overly sweet but still one and done for me. Since we were only in town for one night and wanted to experience as many places as possible, we stuck with the two rolls and drinks before heading back out to continue exploring. Overall, this place is incredibly cute, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for a date night. My only complaint is how difficult it was to find. If you're starving like I was, wandering around searching for the entrance might test your patience. Once you finally find it, though, it's worth the effort.
