Savannah, Ga

SAVANNAH GLOBE!

 

Savannah Smiles is great.

37th Street is a blast! Not really, it's the ghetto.

River Street and City Market are lots of fun. They are not far from each other. Maybe a quarter mile.

Eating, I would go the Chart House. But there are plenty of other options.

 

Go down to the river front area

 

Where are you staying?

We stayed at the Hyatt. Right across the street is a place called JJ's I think. It's a hole in the wall sports bar, cool place and I'm sure they'll have the race on

 

Olde Pinke House for dinner.

Zunzi's for lunch.

 

Florence from Hugh Acheson

 

Track down The Lady Chablis. Learn how to hide your man candy.

 

Was there last weekend. Was kind of disappointed. Drove to Tybee Island one morning to eat at The Breakfast Club and walk around the beach. It was pretty good.

 

Savannah is garbage

 

Tybee is pretty fun

 

People like Savannah a lot more for what it is when they accept that it is not Charleston.

 

Same, I did not enjoy Savannah. Did not go to Tybee, did a dolphin tour in Hilton Head

 

You're from Ohio so of of course you went to HHI.

 

Myrtle Beach is the joke you wanted to make.

 

Although aware of the MB situation my point is accurate in regards to HHI. I'm there once a month for work & every 3rd plate is from Ohio.

 

Congress Street Social Club

 

/#Clemson

 

My understanding was that it was nicer than Tybee and not much further of a drive. We were only there for an afternoon.

 

I love HHI. Was just an observation of so much Ohio there.

 

I'm not personally much of a beach guy, I'd rather take a week and go see some historical things in Boston or DC but I know the Outer Banks, Hilton Head and Myrtle are very popular destinations for Ohioans.

I thought it was quite nice though

 

has anyone done St. Patty's day here? thinking about it for a bachelor party but I don't know many people that have gone (the two that did loved it). for people who have done it, would you consider it a good bachelor party destination?

also, any idea what the roundabout cost for lodging would be for the weekend? are there large houses available for rent? we would probably have about 15 guys.

 

I have. It's a really good time, it kind of feels like Mardi Gras without all the parades.

 

ehhh, not sure about bachelor party destination. St. Paddy's is cool but its just a smaller Mardis Gras in a lesser town.

 

hey buddy.

Go to Vic's on the River or Olde Pink House for dinner
The Florence is Hugh Acheson's new place in Savannah and is supposed to be awesome
Vinnie Van GoGo's for pizza
B&D for burgers

Six Pence is an awesome Irish pub
McDonoughs is another solid pub that has karaoke
The Public is a cool bar/restaurant with good food
Pinkie Master's Lounge is the diviest of dive bars - and was the local HQ for Jimmy Carter's campaign back in the day. great pics on the wall.
Circa 1875 is a great upscale bar spot for pregame and late night drinks
Treehouse is a solid upstairs bar
Churchills and Tondees are both on Bay street and are good spots

go walk on River Street during the day to get the scene in, but it's overrated

that should do you well for a weekend.

 

but you didn't like Savannah?

I was there last week and saw a shirt in a window that said "burr it's cold in Ohio" also an "official" OSU bar an "official" Browns bar

 

It is also not hotter than the face of the sun in those places

 

Its a great time, but not sure its a bachelor's day spot. Great place to drink and Im sure there are good golf spots. Tybee Island's beach sucks compared to Hilton Head.

 

So where are the good beaches in Georgia then?

 

St. Simons is best in GA

I like Tybee though

 

Agree with Vinnie Van Go Go's for some good pizza and people watching.

Kind of an under the radar place, but big fan of breakfast at Clary's Diner.

Slightly more touristy, but fan of Mrs. Wilke's and Pirate House.

 

Is Mrs. Wilke's worth the wait? Wife and I will be in town the last week of May and are thinking of doing that Wednesday for brunch.

 

Moon River brewpub

 

sandwich shop called Zunzi's is really good. Dog shit customer service, but good food

 

I guess. I've never had to wait longer than about 10-15 minutes.

I thoroughly enjoy it and leave feeling incredibly fat any time I've been there.

 

Ok, everything I've read says you should get there at ten to be part of the first group in or the wait ends up being an hour and a half.

 

HenryLeeJackson going this weekend, what did you enjoy down there?
