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.'

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.

Alley Cat Lounge
The address is a lane, not a street ... Broughton Lane runs behind the shops on West Broughton. The bar calls itself 'a classy 1870's hidden gem basement bar highlighting Savannah's deepest library collection of fine spirits and cocktails.' Visit Savannah says the cocktail menu is large enough to fill a newspaper. In Savannah Magazine (13 April 2026) bar manager Chris Schofield called it just a bar in a basement with good vibes and better cocktails.
Artillery
A cocktail bar in a restored landmark on Bull Street. The bar says the building was 'erected in 1896' on the site of the Georgia Hussars' former armory. It is a Daniel Reed Hospitality room, the Savannah group behind Public Kitchen and Bar, and its line on itself is 'It's Not So Old Fashioned.'
The Bootlegger
The Bootlegger is the bar inside the River Street Inn. Savannah Magazine (13 April 2026) says it has operated there since early 2024, in a building about 230 years old that the inn reports to be haunted. Its own site describes it as 'Hidden beneath Savannah's legendary River Street'. The magazine names Roosevelt's Smoked Old Fashioned as the house drink and notes a First Friday Roaring '20s night.
