Doc's Bar
The Savannah Jams guide (24 March 2026) describes a classic Tybee dive, 'loud, salty, no-frills', with blues and rock bands on Saturday nights from 9pm to 1am and no cover.
Fannie's on the Beach
Fannie's is the pink-roofed building across from the beach on the Strand, which Visit Tybee describes as three floors of oceanfront fun. You can sit inside, streetside or upstairs on the open-air deck, where there is live music on weekends. The site calls it 'a funky little restaurant across from the beach' and says its Sunday brunch and Bloody Marys return in the fall.
Huc-A-Poos Bites and Booze
A pizza bar set back from Highway 80, nowhere near the beach strip. Savannah Magazine readers voted it the Pizza winner in Best of Savannah 2026. The Savannah Jams live music guide (24 March 2026) lists bands in 'the backyard courtyard' on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 1am.
Nickie's 1971 Bar and Grill
Nickie's is a bar and grill on Butler Avenue at the south end, one block from Tybrisa Street. The Main Street directory posts it open until 3 a.m. every night, which makes it one of the latest kitchens-and-bars on the island by posted hours. It took part in Tybee Island Restaurant Week in August 2026.
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.
Rock House Bar & Grill
A Tybee sports bar with 16 HD TVs, a projection screen, pinball, air hockey and video games, plus wings, burgers, seafood and gator bites. Visit Tybee lists it among the island's nightlife stops for 'Karaoke, neon lights and hip music', dancing, darts and pool. First responders and military get 10 percent off.
Sand Bar
A dive across Butler Avenue from Nickie's with a game room: pool, pinball and arcade machines. The Savannah Jams guide (24 March 2026) lists a Wednesday open mic from 8 to 11pm and says it is known for wings.
Sting Ray's Seafood
Sting Ray's is on Butler Avenue, Tybee's main strip, with what Visit Tybee describes as a spacious outdoor deck shaded by colorful beach umbrellas. The DMO lists fresh seafood and live music.
Treylor Park Beach Party
Beach Party is the Tybee room of Savannah's Treylor Park group, opened in 2024 in the building that held the Tybee Island Social Club. Cofounder Trey Wilder lived on Tybee for four years and told tybeeisland.com he did not want to lose any of the old club's character. The renovation added a bigger deck, a longer bar, more parking and a walk-up window for people coming off the beach. The patio has a sandpit for kids, and the week includes trivia on Wednesdays and live music.
