I stand on my first review 6 years ago- still a great place to relax, chill and hang with your friends. The Pain Killer was a perfect drink to start the weekend, and let the flavors carry you away to a tropical paradise - in January! Service was super friendly, helpful and the bar tender was a skilled mix master!!
Another magical evening where I had a place ALL to myself on a weeknight, so I got to really soak in the atmosphere. Classic tiki decor, very well done. They were celebrating Halloween when I visited, so all their drinks were spooky themed. 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!
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. 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. The bathroom is super clean and even smelled really good. I will definitely be back for some of the themed nights.
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.
Never expected what we saw when we walked in the door. This is a super cute tiki bar close to Starland Yard. They make the best drinks! We will definitely be coming back with more friends!
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!
Water Witch is an amazing tiki bar tucked in the trendy Starland District. 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. It's super low key so great spot to have a drink after work, start/end the night, or just stay as your destination. 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!
A simply excellent tiki bar across the board. Bartender was fantastic for suggestions, mixing and commentary on some of the drinks they made. Atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect and what you'd want in a tiki bar. Drinks were well made and incredibly unique. Can't recommend enough.
So first of all the bartender kept flirting with me which make me very uncomfortable. Second of all I ordered a Bloody Mary and he made fun of me for ordering such a crapy drink.....he kept asking me if I wanted something better. He finally made me my drink...which sucked! After I was done he gave me another drink and I definitely did not order it but was put on my tab. He kept flirting with me and would not leave me alone. My bill was over $40 including a drink I never asked for. I brought this up to him and he said "Not my fault you ordered a sh** drink". Would not recommend read more

I had a good feeling prior to coming that I was gonna enjoy this place...I mean how could you go wrong with a tiki bar? We arrived at around 10:30pm on a Saturday night. It wasn't too crowded which really surprised me because this place was awesome! The atmosphere inside is super chill and quaint, they have separate seating areas for larger groups. I was with 2 friends and we were able to pull up a table and chairs by the tiki waterfall which was awesome. For our drinks we got the Bali Bali and it was super tasty. All drinks are insta worthy! The kitchen was closed but they provided free small bar snacks. The service was also terrific! I forgot the servers name but she was super friendly and attentive! I would definitely return here while visiting Savannah again! read more

I do love a good tiki bar! I'm glad we could safely stop in while we were in town. (It appeared as though they had all the safety precautions in place, but we were able to safely distance because we went right when we opened and were the only customers there at the time.) The bar is very unassuming as you pass by it, at first glance it just looks like a regular storefront in a little plaza. Then you look a second time and you realize the windows are all covered in leaves! And behind the leaves, the tiki decor does not stop. Half the fun of a tiki bar is the tiki decorations! I will say, though, that I've been to a few tiki bars around the US and this bar was probably the least cluttered-feeling and the best lit. Par for the course for any tiki bar is an awesome cocktail menu! This one did not disappoint. My boyfriend had ordered a drink that was on the happy hour menu and it ended up being a canned beer which we were not expecting, but his second drinks presentation (a literal smoke show) made up for it! I ordered two cocktails that were also very well made and had all the garnishes. I also love seeing all the awesome tiki glasses different tiki bars have. I really wanted to see if I could pin point and order whatever drink came in the shark glass but I was unsuccessful. The bartender serving us was the perfect amount of hospitable-- checked in on us at the appropriate times and left us relatively alone after that! Plus, he turned on the Goonies while we were drinking, a fine movie choice! Would definitely return again next time we're in town! read more
It's a tiki bar in Savannah! With the yucky weather we've had it felt like I could've been at the beach. I recently was taken here by a friend and it was pretty empty so we got a seat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the very knowledgeable and friendly bartender. I started with Tradewinds which I loved. Look it up, if you love coconut then hmu. Or am I weird? You'll like it. Just go. read more

Our first time in Savannah and the first bar we walk into was Water Witch. Drinks were outstanding, food was fabulous & the bartender, MacKay, was the best. They made us feel welcome, made great recommendations & was on point with everything. Great place to hang, have a few drinks and snacks. read more
Good vibes and pretty good drinks. One drink is roughly $13, but they also have happy hour from 5-7pm when some are cheaper. The inside has very fun decoration! It's tropical themed and it's very calming inside. It was also very empty when we went, granted it was a Tuesday evening, but we were the only ones there. They only have drinks, no appetizers which was a bit of a bummer. But the bartender was very nice. I got the cherry Vanilla Coke slushie which was good! The coke flavor was very subtle but it was good. read more
Oh have we been longing for a true tiki experience! We we so happy to have found it here is Savannah. The vibe was true tiki in a very clean and modern way. The drinks were very good and served in nice glasses. We had the Ting of Fire, the SS Ulysses and the Bali Bali. All were fabulous. The Baki Bali was maybe the favorite and packed quite a punch. The Pu Pu menu was also excellent. We had the tahini dip and the tropical shrimp cocktail which were fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back! read more

There's hospitality, and then there's "Southern Hospitality". #HowdySugar highlights the sweet spots in Savannah that make me feel special. Todays trip: Water Witch It was 44 degrees today. That might not sound like much to you northerners, but here in the south, thats colder than a witch's titty in a brass bra. Speaking of witches, I have been waiting for Water Witch to open with baited breath...and boy, they did not disappoint. I walked in out of the cold, threw my overcoat off and I am immediately transported to the Brady Bunch episode in Hawaii, Greg Brady wished he wiped out here. Before I can even order, Gilligans Island comes on.,.Hey, If Im about to go on a three hour tour, ill get stranded in this spot anytime...as long as I get to be Ginger. This place is truly special. It's camp (at its best), tiki, tropical, all rolled up into one fabulous surreal space. Miss Dani makes me a Monkey Float served in a most fabulous tiki vessel. While I am not a sweet, tropical drinker, I am suprised by its complex flavor profiles, including the garnish. Hello...Im tipsy now! I almost call it quits uintil I see the" Ring of Fire" on the menu. Really? Are you kidding me? (Now Y'all know I was raised on Cash, and open every Howdy Sugar show with Ring of Fire) I order it immediately (and thank you Mister Anthony for catching me on fire!) Holy S&^T! What a spectacilar cocktail! As Auntie Mame once said, "OK, everyone lit?" Um, yes. The menu is tight and light ("Witch" I love) A few classics, a few modern and a few bites. The cozy, creative atmosphere literally catapaults you you into an escape. Who needs a cruise honey, when you got this in your backyard? Personally, Ill be back every rainy day in Savannah. Thank you Madsion, Dani, Elise and Mister Anthony...Y'all turned a cold Tuesday night into something quite special...no, Spectacular! Y'all get ready for the Witch! She's about to cast a spell in Starland. Thanks Sugar, John-Earl #HowdySugar #VisitStarland #StarlandDistrict #VisitSavannah # #SavannahGeorgia #DowntownSavannah #HistoricSavannah #WelcomeToSavannahYall read more

This review is from March 2021. We stayed at a friend's house in the area surrounding Water Witch. We had only ever stayed near the river and this was the first time we stayed more inland. We HIGHLY recommend staying further inland or at least exploring other parts of Savannah. There are a TON of restaurants, bars etc to go to that we had been missing out on! We stopped by for a couple of drinks and absolutely loved the atmosphere. It was very tiki but not tacky tiki. Every drink we had was definitely delicious. The wait was a little long but that was because everyone else seemed to be ordering the most elaborate drinks ever and the bartenders were swamped with those. The drinks and decor are very much insta worthy *I'm looking at you Bachelorette ladies* When we visit our friend again we will definitely be coming back! read more

Love the name, great vibe and atmosphere, fantastic cocktails. The mixologists here are truly artists who take their craft seriously. Go with their suggestion. I hate banana flavor but I like bananas and had I not asked I would have missed out on possibly the best drink on the menu, definitely the most fun! I don't recall the name but it both is, and is ON, fire... literally. They make all infusions and ingredients in house and the artistry with which they approach the flavors let's you know why they've made it to the top of several lists for "Best Tiki Bars in America". read more

Was down in starland district and had to drop in to visit one of the new spots. I was not disappointed. This is a gem in the city in that once you enter you aardvark transported to the pacific and you don't realize your in Savannah. They are a full up Tiki Bar with all the drink concoctions you can think of witty the different types of glass wear to boot. Think Polynesia and drink garnIshes and umbrellas galore. They have the entire Giilligans Island series playing on the tv which is a nice touch. II had their navy grog and it was excellent. I didn't have a chance to try their poo poo platter but will have to return to give it a try. If your wanting something different this is the place to try. read more

Finally a place that does a modern spon on tiki right. Decor and cocktails are all on point. If you have to limit yourself to just one drink then make it a Banana Spliff. Amazing smoked cocktail with a background of banana. Fantastic. read more

Simply delightful. Fun decor (understated tiki), delicious and creative cocktails, knowledgeable bartender. We search out tiki bars when we travel, this one has some of the best drinks we've found. We happened to be there at a slow moment, so had plenty of time to chat with the bartender and watch him at his craft. read more
Super quaint little tiki bar on Bull street. It was really quite when we went on a Saturday night which was nice. We were able to sit and chat with the bartender.... bartender Bill... super nice guy. Drinks were all tiki themed. Will be going back again read more

Loved this place. As you walk down the street, it won't jump out at you as the door and windows are camouflaged with greenery. It is worth searching this place down though. The decorations were new and fresh and really allowed you to forget you were in the middle of Savannah. Drink menu was creative. My favorite was the Ring of Fire. Small bites are available so we tried the ahi tuna and pork, both very good. Fun place, great bartenders! read more

I went to Water Witch on a Wednesday night. I went with two of my friends. One was in town from DC and I told her I wouldn't go until she got into town. I have been debating on writing this review. We did not have the best time. The decor is fun. The bar itself is so fun and inviting. Nothing was spared to make Water Witch a fun tiki bar. What is still bothering me is the service. Our bartender was more focused on cleaning and organizing rather than providing great service and a cool experience. She was constantly wiping off bottles and wiping around our drinks. My friends and I asked her questions about the bar/drinks/ambiance and her replies were terse. She was not friendly to us and the impression I received, she was not friendly to her coworkers either. I wanted to love this place so much. I lived in Hawaii for a few years and I hold a special place in my heart for tiki bars. I may go back because the drinks are delicious and the ambiance is so fun. If I do go back, my expectations for friendly service will be much lower. read more
