Savannah for a few days....?

[Aqua Buddha 14624]

We've been to Charleston a lot but never really Savannah.  We'll be there later this week for a few days.

Any recommends?  Restaurants?  Tours?  Etc?

Went there in the fall of 2016.  Nice area.  We stayed at the Andaz, which is nice but is right on the square so it is noisy at night 

Drinks:  go to the rooftop bar at the Bohemian — great views

Restaurants:  we tried a few places.  Our favorites were Local 11 (Forsyth Park area), which also has an awesome rooftop bar, along with great food, and Cotton and Rye (sit on the patio if you can)

Vic’s on the River was a good spot downtown for lunch

Mrs. Wilke’s Dining Room is a damn good family style southern meal.  It’s a block or so from Forsythe Park.  The bars down on the waterfront are full of girls in art school with questionable morals.

Had a good dinner at The Grey when we were there.

No recs, but I used to haul sugar from the Dixie Crystals plant in the late 80's. Quite possibly the nicest part of Georgia.

We stayed at the Gastonian Inn near Forsyth Park and absolutely loved it. Dinner at Vic’s on the River was excellent. We did one of the walking tours that was done in the morning and then did a evening carriage ride/tour. As mentioned above, Mrs. Wilkes is excellent. The Lady & Sons (Paula Deen) sucked shit when we were there. If she’s more involved now, it might be better.

The Vault Kitchen and Market is a cool Asian fusion place that is in a former bank space...great food and drinks

Mrs Wilkes is a must. Great experience.
Elizabeth on 37- excellent food, amazing service. The owners still wait tables nightly. The one a Beard Award.
The Worm Hole is a fun dive bar with a mixed crowd.

Necro bump.  Where to watch a game there?  Say a Longhorn game... Hypothetically while the Horns play a bunch of bible thumping rapists... 

Any first-hand experience? Staying at Andaz.

Stayed at the Andaz about  2 years ago.  Nice place. Bar was great, restaurant was just OK.  It is noisy because it is very near the downtown square, and there was music going pretty late.

You might see if the rooftop bar at the Bohemian (very close to Andaz, and on the waterfront) will have it on.  Nice views and good bar.

Bump.  This is the most relevant Savannah thread I could find.   Heading there for a few days with my wife later this summer (over 4th of July + weekend actually).  Tentatively staying at Perry Lane.  Any updated recs for those that have been recently?

[Firemans4Horn 18127]

Piggybacking on this thread. In Hilton Head for 8 days next month. Any restaurant recs?

Wilke House is still a good meal. The bars on the riverfront are still fun.
