Finding Nightlife in Savannah’s Historic District
Savannah’s historic downtown and River Street are known for quirky pubs, live music, and Prohibition-era bars. For a historic dive bar/former brothel, head to The Rail Pub. If you are looking for something classy with a riverfront view, try Rocks on the Roof. The Jinx is the place to find locals and live music. Best of all, you can take your drink to go as you migrate from one bar to the next.
