The Best Bars for Foodies in Savannah

Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia and was also one of the original 13 colonies. Steeped in history, this Southern location is home to a number of important Revolutionary and Civil War sites, beautiful Antebellum architecture, bucolic Forsyth Park and Telfair Museum, the oldest public art museum in the Southeast! And of course, one of the city’s claims to fame is the lovely Spanish moss that hangs from the oak trees. There are plenty of ways to tire yourself out here in town but that doesn’t mean you should call it an early night! The city has an energetic nightlife, too, so don’t miss out on the fun.
