Located in the revitalized Savannah neighborhood of the Starland District, young professionals and investors alike have been moving into the area just minutes from downtown. Serving pizza, sandwiches, craft beer, wine, and cocktails the restaurant is sure to please. Part bar and part restaurant with a European vibe, it lends itself to both new and old world. Utilizing fresh ingredients made in house or sourced through boutique vendors, Squirrel’s Pizza has cranked out pecan-wood-fired masterpieces since opening.

Savoy Society

Copy Link

Think trend-setting cocktail bar with small plate options perfect for after work drinks. Savoy Society offers draft beer as well as wine and custom cocktails on tap like the Chatham Artillery Punch. Shareable plates include both traditional items like the cheese plate to more innovative options including the octopus tostadas. Crispy spam sliders for those unwilling to share are a must. The vinyl-only music will be playing throughout the bar perfect for the inner hipster.

St. Neo's Brasserie

Copy Link

Hotel restaurants can often be overlooked as viable dining options. However, this seafood restaurant led by Christopher Meenan is not to be missed. Full raw bar selections as well as shared plates and mains like the crispy red snapper round out an excellent menu. Saint Neo’s Brasserie is located in the newly opened Historic Drayton Hotel just steps from all of the Savannah nightlife.

The Togosa Mimosa — a $12 all-you-can-drink mimosas are available daily at Broughton Commons. Pair the mimosa with the brunch menu, which starts at 10 a.m., to kick off a walking and drinking tour of Savannah. This newly renovated space comes from the owner’s of the Ordinary Pub but with a new twist: it’s above ground.
