2 Best Nightlife in Savannah, Georgia

Artillery

Historic District
One of Savannah's most beautiful bars, Artillery is housed in a historic landmark built by a volunteer militia group of mounted rangers in 1896. Now, Daniel Reed Hospitality embraces 18th-century-style and modern design elements in its sumptuously restored space. Settle in and buzz a waiter with the push of a call button to order from the expansive wine list, the classic cocktail menu (they make an excellent Manhattan), or the contemporary cocktail selection (Bit of a Pickle is an unusually delicious choice with gin, lemon, white balsamic vinegar, cucumber, dill and cracked pepper.) Expert drinks and great conversation are champion here, and proper attire is a must (no cut-offs, tank tops; flip-flops strongly discouraged; no hats)—and make sure you silence your phone once inside.

Hang Fire

Historic District

This place was once a strip club, and the original stripper pole still hangs horizontally above the bar. The owner gave the space a warm, homey feel, creating the bar out of metal shavings from a machine shop. On weekends this is a big hangout for young hipsters who like cheap beer and live rock music. The staff is friendly, and the jukebox is awesome.
