As you head back toward the heart of the historic district and try to recall where you parked, be sure to stop by Churchill’s. This iconic british-inspired pub has a rooftop bar that is so tucked away you might just miss it. Slip into this secret hideaway that is home to delicious drinks like the Savannah Refresher, the Apple Cide-Car, and of course Churchill’s Bloody Mary topped with bacon, olives, and an English cucumber. This cozy deck overlooking Johnson Square gives off an exclusive vibe and is the perfect place to lay low.

Carry into the evening by catching the sunset at Sorry Charlie’s. The oldest continuously operating commercial building in Georgia, this tiki themed oyster bar is a Savannah staple. It uniquely offers the only elevated view of Ellis Square.
