Enjoying the Nightlife in Savannah

Savannah offers many choices for enjoying an evening out on the town.  Here’s a quick round up of some local favourites that you’ll be sure to find refreshing on a hot summer’s eve in Savannah.

Churchill’s Pub & Restaurant is an authentic British pub serving up food and fun every night of the week.  The showcase piece of Churchill’s Pub is the gorgeous mahogany bar along with other furnishings that were imported from Britain.  And actually, the owners are from Britain as well.  As well as inside, visitors can choose to sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the views of Savannah’s historical district.  Enjoy an order of fish and chips or bangers and mash, along with a good selection of draught and bottled beer.  Or if cocktails are more your thing, try the Georgia Peach Tea or Bob’s Blue Boo Yah!

In keeping with the overseas theme, Murphy’s Law Irish Pub is hailed as being ‘Savannah’s most authentic Irish pub.’  Providing weekly live entertainment and great pub grub (try the Pork Pie and Chips), Thursday nights are always crowded thanks to the ‘Drink Till U Drown’ special offering all-you-can-drink Pabst Blue Ribbon beer for $5.00.  Murphy’s Law also offers a weekday Happy Hour from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Planters Tavern is located in the cellar at the Olde Pink House restaurant, built in 1771.  Featuring exposed brick, fireplaces, and hardwoods, this unique location adds to the historic atmosphere of this well-loved pub.  Planters Tavern also features a piano bar and live jazz singers weekly including singer/pianist/composer, Gail Thurmond.

Venus De Milo is a funky wine bar located near Savannah’s City Market.  It also features a beautiful mahogany bar along with a selection of antique furniture.  Here you can sit inside and enjoy the old world charm or you can venture upstairs, or onto the deck, or outside to enjoy the allure of their southern courtyard.  Venus De Milo offers an array of martinis including the local favorite, a White Chocolate Godiva Maritina; other sure to be enjoyed choices include Pineapple Upside Down Cake or a traditional Mint Julep.  And yes, Venus De Milo also offers a selection of over 150 wines, many of which can be purchased by the glass.

Other fun choices for nightlife in Savannah include Jinx for live rock and blues music, Lulu’s Chocolate Bar for scrumptious desserts, Mercury Lounge for jazz, and if you want to cover the whole gamut, Molly McPherson’s, a Scottish pub and grill.
