The 6 Best Bars in Savannah

Savannah lets you carry a cocktail to go in its Historic District, and its bars lean on local history, down to Savannah bourbon in the glass. The best bars in Savannah sit downtown, with one standout south in the Starland District. The Grey fills a restored 1938 Art Deco Greyhound bus terminal, pairs Chef Mashama Bailey's Port City Southern food with a vintage cocktail list, and was a regional honoree for Best U.S. Restaurant Bar at the 2026 Spirited Awards. In Starland, the neighborhood local Lone Wolf Lounge was a James Beard Outstanding Bar semifinalist in 2025. Down the stairs at 37 Whitaker Street, The Peacock Lounge riffs on the Chatham Artillery Punch with a Savannah bourbon, while Alley Cat Lounge pours from a deep spirits library in an 1870s basement on West Broughton Lane. Peregrin serves botanical cocktails on the roof of the Perry Lane Hotel, and Savoy Society books tables through Resy. Alley Cat runs on first come, first served, and The Peacock Lounge takes no reservations. These are the six we would start with.
