BAR CRAWL
In House Hotel Bars
2 22 SQUARE BAR AT ANDAZ This chic and cozy bar on the edge of Ellis Square is a celebration of the art of cocktail making. You’ll love the rustic décor and huge windows that allow you to people-watch on one of the busiest squares in Savannah. We recommend sitting at the bar and befriending the bartenders. They’re all superknowlegable on every kind of cocktail you could imagine. Put their skills to the test by having them shake you up something unique. 14 Barnard Street Savannah, GA 31401 912.233.2116 savannah.andaz.hyatt.com
Social Club
411 W Congress St, Savannah, GA congressstreetsocialclub.com We like to fancy Congress Street Social Club, Savannah’s iteration of the classic biergarten. Walk through the doors and you are greeted by a large patio with lights strewn around an old oak tree, the smell of late night eats drifting over from the corner and the sound of friends laughing and gesturing in amusement. Walk inside and, depending on the night, there’s a band playing, peo-
ple dancing, and the game playing on one of the many televisions lining the room. Step down to the lower level and a basement bar featuring dart boards, pool tables and foosball aids the warm conviviality that you generally see in intimate quarters. Congress Street Social Club truly has everything, and a name that truly precedes itself. We would usually recommended getting lost here all night (an easy action) but since we can only stay for one drink we advise ordering from their 30 beers on tap, sitting back on an outdoor couch and people watching for a while.

If the 80s and 90s are your idea of a blast from the past, look no further than Totally Awesome Bar. As the name alludes, this basement bar revives the aesthetic pop culture vibe in a new and surprisingly unannoying way, unlike fake 50s diners or wannabe Studio 54s. Not only is it a themed bar, it is Savannah’s only themed bar and is as individual as the decades it represents, featuring movie posters, a blacklight splattered floor and vintage arcade games we older kids can really appreciate. In addition to being curated perfectly, Totally Awesome Bar’s cocktails pay tribute to the decade's greatest names. We recommend trying a Tart Simpson or Pac Man, while shouting out some answers during their 80s and 90s trivia. No doubt, it’s all that and a bag of chips, homeslice!
