    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Another magical evening where I had a place ALL to myself on a weeknight, so I got to really soak in the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Classic tiki decor, very well done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were celebrating Halloween when I visited, so all their drinks were spooky themed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had screaming robot noises (rum, overproof Jamaican rum, falernum, herbal liqueur, mango syrup, bitters, lime, mint, etc). Described as bold, boozy, and juicy, I enjoyed this one most probably. I also had the feral mutation in the cutest little Gizmo gremlin mug. Mad with rum Agricola blanc, cacao nib-infused cocchi americano, pistachio orgeat, and lime. I was worried this drink would be too chocolatey or sweet, but it was more earthy and very subtle. The verdant veil: tequila, cachaca, falernum, aloe, pandan (interesting Thai ingredient that I wasn't super familiar with), acid-adjusted strawberry, boba, and mint. I had a clarified milk punch made with Froot Loops called "Frootian Rings," which was super funky and nostalgic. I had a baked pretzel as a snack, made with a superb spicy mango salsa. It really hit the spot. Bites here are just bar snacks, like nuts and chips. They have a huge menu with something for everyone. Matt was my bartender and he was awesome!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Water Witch Tiki bar is such a cute hidden gem. When you walk in you are instantly surrounded by an island bar vibe and right now they also have it decorated for Halloween.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartender was so friendly and welcoming, going very indepth about the menu and different offerings. The drinks are amazing and so delicious. They are really made with love! Unfortunately, the snack menu is very limited and some items weren't available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom is super clean and even smelled really good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back for some of the themed nights.

    Never expected what we saw when we walked in the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a super cute tiki bar close to Starland Yard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They make the best drinks! We will definitely be coming back with more friends!

    I'm a tiki bar lover, so when in Savannah I sought this bar out. Street parking is available. It's a true tiki bar with great decor, solid drinks, and great branding. We left with a cool mug to add to the collection. Bartenders were super helpful and friendly. I love sitting at the bar to watch the action, but there is a variety of seating on two levels. They also have great bar snacks to soak up the alcohol. The second best part was the live music which was starting just as we arrived. A man named Noah was playing that evening and he was excellent. Super authentic tiki vibes and great bartenders make for a good night.

    This place has such a cool vibe and eclectic decorations! We visited on a Wednesday night so there weren't many people inside. We sat at the bar and our bartender promptly came over to offer us recommendations and take our order. Our bourbon drinks were tasty! We will be back as we want to experience it on a busier night! It would be a great place to hang out with friends in a casual bar setting.

    This is by far probably one of my favorite tiki bars from the ones I have gone to! The atmosphere was perfect, the decor was so well done and more of a modern/coastal tiki (not sure exactly how to describe it) but everything about it was great and I really loved the vibe! Our bartender was Brick and he had amazing flair! He really knew how to prepare all the drinks and it was fun to watch him! He was also super attentive! It wasn't busy at all, but we were also there on Tuesday (on purpose). We ordered a couple drinks each, and each one was super tasty: 1. La Noche Ardiente (my favorite - I love a good spicy tiki drink!) 2. Painkiller (classic!) 3. Jungle Bird 4. Isle of Hope Would definitely recommend and come back!!!

    Water Witch is a tropical getaway nestled into a Savannah neighborhood storefront. This tiki bar isn't a speakeasy - you can stroll right in sans password. The interior is well decorated, floor to ceiling, with island themed goodies and no shortage of bamboo. The bar boasts an impressive menu of tiki drinks, including a few larger, group drinks. They serve up a few small bites like nuts and pretzels and a couple appetizer type dishes. Their menu has guava cheese buns but when I ordered, they were out. Bummer. Got the spicy pretzels instead and they paired well with my relatively sweet drink. The bartender was friendly and helpful and the establishment was super clean. Fun bar, relaxed vibes, high alcohol content. Cheers!

    This hidden gem is located in the Starland district just a short walk from Starland yard, next a great Japan Street food restaurant and The Vault restaurant and street parking is available. From the sidewalk this hidden gem doesn't give much away but once you enter you find that it's actually a tiki bar. There are tall tiki statues, and theme mask along the walls and around the tables. It's dimly lit to make it feel cozy but still bright enough that you can see the menu and your party. I've been visiting twice. Once during the summer and I had a tropical fruit drink with rum and again right after thanksgiving. They made me a coconut milk eggnog served in a frosty mug which was fun and super cute and then a coconut milk margarita which was delicious. The house sangria is also delicious and made fresh. The staff have always been super friendly and knowledgeable on allergies and what is good to mix with what. I've never been great at being at to figure out what I want mix drinks wise. I like that they can whip up something base off my mood and my allergy's.

    Water Witch does not look like much from the outside, but is a cool tiki bar once you step inside. It's a bit off from the downtown, which meant it wasn't so busy and we were easily able to get a table, despite a larger group. We ordered at the bar, the bar tender was friendly and good with his recommendations. Lots of drinks with fun names and in theme glasses, from sharks to lite barrels. Great spot!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Water Witch is an amazing tiki bar tucked in the trendy Starland District.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was one of the first places we hit up when we got to Savannah and it would definitely be a regular spot if I lived there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super low key so great spot to have a drink after work, start/end the night, or just stay as your destination.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were great and came in unique and fun glassware. Bar tender was friendly and gave us some recs for what to do in town so total win.

    We were wandering around the Starland District when we decided to seek out a cocktail bar. When I saw the Water Witch was close by, I knew we had to give it a try (4.5 star average tiki bar? Yes, please). We walked in and it's like you're in a different world. They definitely leaned into the tiki theme and I'm here for it. We sat at the bar but there's plenty of table seating as well. For my first drink, I got their pier pressure, which is a tiki-tinged version of an old fashioned. It was a delight. For my second beverage, I got their tiki-negroni, which was also great! The service was lovely throughout our visit. Amazing mixology + fun atmosphere + great service = an amazing evening at Water Witch! Get to it!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A simply excellent tiki bar across the board.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bartender was fantastic for suggestions, mixing and commentary on some of the drinks they made. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect and what you'd want in a tiki bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were well made and incredibly unique. Can't recommend enough.

    I absolutely love this bar! The bartenders are so awesome and the vibe is super fun. My cocktails were delicious. They have live music too. I highly recommend this place.

    We visited the Bamboo Tiki Bar during the holidays with a party of four. Surprisingly, the place…read morewas nearly empty--we only noticed about six other guests inside--but even with such a small crowd, the service was extremely slow. Our server seemed confused throughout the visit, and getting our orders placed and delivered took much longer than expected. We ordered several appetizers and drinks. The appetizers were okay, but the portions were quite small for the price. The cocktails were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, their appearance was the most impressive thing about them. They were just okay in flavor and didn't seem strong at all. The tiki décor was genuinely neat, though, and the merchandise selection was cool enough that we purchased one of their tiki mugs as a souvenir. Sadly, the interesting atmosphere and attractive drink presentations couldn't overcome the poor service, lackluster cocktails, and overpriced food. Overall, it was a pretty big disappointment, and I don't see us returning. However, the evening did provide one final and unexpected treasure. As we left, we encountered a mariachi band performing hits from the '80s, '90s, and today. I requested "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," but they solemnly informed me that the song could not be performed without a tuba. Instead, they launched into NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," which felt less like a musical request and more like the universe formally dismissing us from the premises. The tiki bar may have been a letdown, but being serenaded out of Savannah by a mariachi boy band almost made the evening worthwhile.

From the minute we got to Savannah, people kept telling us we had to go to Savoy Society…read more At first, we didn't really get the hype because from the street it's very much giving strip mall vibes. But our hotel was down the street, so we kept passing by it... and every time, everyone outside looked hot, clean-cut, stylish, and very millennial. So eventually we were like okay... clearly something is going on here. The inside is casual and kind of quirky, but in a way that somehow totally works. Very 1950s. Loved the climbing monkey lamp. The bartenders were awesome. Super friendly, fun to talk to, and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. They made us modified espresso martinis based on what we liked/didn't like and absolutely nailed it. Then I got a pickle martini with no vermouth and it was honestly one of the best martinis I've ever had. Like genuinely incredible. It's my new fav.

It's technically set up like a hotel lobby, but with a much more lively, social energy that makes it perfect for hanging out with friends. The drinks are always on point. Our go-to is the "Rich Baby Daddy," which never disappoints, but I also love switching it up with their draft wine or grabbing a draft beer depending on the mood. The crowd is another reason we keep coming back, it's always a good mix of people, and the atmosphere just makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the night.

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.
