17Hundred90 Inn Tavern
An inn with a dining room and a separate tavern that keeps its own hours. The inn says the tavern opens daily at 4pm and closes by 11pm, with food during kitchen hours.
208 Wine Bar
A Bay Street wine bar named for its street number. The bar adds that 208 'symbolizes manifesting wealth and abundance' and then admits, 'It's also our address.' Wednesday nights are Bubbles & Blues with singer Laiken Love, and Tuesdays bring five dollar tapas toppers. Readers voted it best wine bar in Connect Savannah (2022) and in Savannah Magazine (2026).
A-J's Dockside Restaurant
A-J's is on the Back River, the quiet side of the island away from the ocean. Visit Tybee describes sunset views over calm water and suggests sitting on the back dock 'to really get a glimpse into island life'. It is a dinner house, closed Tuesday and Wednesday by the hours the Main Street directory posts.
Abe's on Lincoln
A side-street bar a block off Bay Street. Eat It and Like It (14 May 2024): 'This bar's claim to fame? Art. In the form of hundreds of renditions of Abraham Lincoln drawn (by locals and tourists alike) on cocktail napkins.' The same piece says it has seating inside and out and is dog-friendly.

Garden Square
Garden Square opened in November 2025 behind 2400 Bull, reached through a courtyard off 40th Street. Savannah Magazine credits owners Jake Grier and David Winer and bar manager Natasha Conyers, and describes creative cocktails with vegetable-forward cooking. The room has hand-painted murals inside and a planted patio outside.
North Beach Bar and Grill
North Beach Bar and Grill sits between the Tybee lighthouse and the beach, and Visit Tybee describes it as mere feet from the sand, a place that welcomes sandy toes. The cooking is seafood with a Caribbean lean ... fish and chips, shrimp, tacos and fish bites ... and the site says it buys local, sustainable seafood. There is a full bar with craft beer, patio seating and live music.
Starland Yard
Starland Yard is a food park with a full bar, three built-in kitchens and rotating food trucks, made for groups who cannot agree on what to eat. Pizzeria Vittoria is Kyle Jacovino's naturally leavened pizza, fermented up to 48 hours and baked in a Moretti Forni hearth oven. Uncle June's is Reid Henninger's sandwich counter and T-Rex Barbecue smokes on site. Savannah Magazine sends families here for giant Jenga on artificial turf, cornhole and, in summer, a small blow-up water slide.
The Public Kitchen & Bar
The Public sits on the corner of Bull and Liberty streets in a mid-century modern room, with many of its tables outside on the sidewalk. It is one of Daniel Reed's Savannah restaurants. The menu runs to Savannah shrimp and grits, grilled salmon and steak frites, and the site calls out vegetarian options and gluten free truffle fries. Savannah Magazine readers made it the 2026 runner-up for gluten-free options.
