This review actually covers my experience on a Friday and Saturday night in April '26. And if I…read morewent twice, you know it must have been nice!
We recently relocated to Savannah from Phoenix most recently, but have lived in several cities over the last 10 years including Charlotte and NW Arkansas. So needless to say, we are equally familiar with big city nightlife and small town kicking it. Savannah feels like it fits somewhere between those two. And 201 is a very good representation of the best of Savannah, and specifically Pooler.
Now, from what I can gather, they are open Thursday through Saturday night, with Friday night serving as the Hip Hop night and Saturday catering to the Hispanic community (with a mix of traditional Mexican and Latin music - both traditional and contemporary styles). Thursday night featured midget wrestling (didn't go but heard about it) but I believe they rotate themes for Thursday night so you may want to check before you head out.
The bar and nightclub is connected to a breakfast restaurant and located right down the street from Sam Sneads sports bar, Crosswinds golf course and the airport. They have ample parking but no valet, so plan accordingly.
Also, one key thing to note. Even though tapas is in the name, they don't serve tapas or any food in the club. HOWEVER, they have a food truck that operates outside of the bar that serves traditional American and Mexican fare (think burgers, fries, wings, fish, shrimp, tacos and tortas) that you can take back inside and eat. And fortunately, the food is top notch with the wings, fish and shrimp platters and the tacos leading the list of recommended items that we tried (try the house hot sauce if you get the tacos - bomb dot com). The fried whiting and the onion rings were some of my favorites- they have their fryer game on point!
The club itself is nicely appointed with a beautiful illuminated tree in the middle of the VIP section, a large stage, professional lighting and a pretty fantastic sound system. They also have multiple screens but I don't know if they show games or other programming during business hours as they displayed the promoters fliers during my visits.
Service is also a highlight here. From the owners, a real cool husband and wife team that we actually met, to the bouncers and the bar staff, everyone was very approachable and service oriented. I like that there was ample security but it didn't affect the vibe. Matter of fact, a couple of the security staff joined the boots on the ground line dance, which is impressive in and of itself.
The DJs for both nights was a bit of a mixed bag, as they employ a multiple DJ format, where two (Friday night) or three (Saturday night) DJs take turns on the ones and twos. Both nights featured DJs that were clearly experienced and a couple that were still working out their sets. However, I actually found that a bit refreshing because it produced a really diverse set list that ranged from young to old and new to classic. Those transitions just need a little more work.
Saturday nights highlight was the skill of the dancers! There were some Jedi knight level dancers doing the merengue, salsa, Cumbias and a bunch of other secular Latin dances that I couldn't even begin to describe. Evidently they have Latin dance lessons on Monday and Wednesday nights at 7pm - and yep, I am definitely going. There must have been two men that were 75+ years of age (big emphasis on the plus) that absolutely put on a clinic all night which inspired me!
Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at how good of a time we had and because it is so conveniently located, it is definitely going to be one of my go to places to dance and have a drink when I'm in the mood for a good night!
And shout out to the ownership. I don't think I have seen a more hands on team in a long time and the level of service shows. They worked behind the bar and in the food truck so I ran into them multiple times and how many places can you say that about?
