Best Dive Bar - Savannah, GA

My hubby and I love visiting Savannah. It is a quaint town with a cobble stone river front and a park oriented historic district. There is quite a lot of bar hopping to be done on the river front, but if you are looking for a real dive haunted by locals as opposed to today's tourist, then the river front is NOT the place you want to be.

The best dive bar in Savannah is, hands down,
The Rail Pub.

The Rail is a one room bar with a unisex bathroom. It is located one block away from the City Market on Congress St. in the historic district. On Fridays and Saturdays first drinks are full price and your second is $1. This works for everything from a PBR to a top shelf scotch, buy one and your next is only $1. Best time to hit the Rail is on a Friday around 4:30 - 5. They have free chicken wings at that time and boy are they tasty.

Pinkie's Master Lounge
Located at: 318 Drayton St.
We found this place by accident one time, and by accident I mean walking around drunkenly at night trying to find our hotel! It took us a year to find it again, so here it is in print so we will never forget again. This is definitely a locals bar. They don't like tourists too much and aren't what you call welcoming, but they will serve you a beer and if you aren't an ass they will eventually warm up to you. The walls are decorated with signed pictures of a bunch of people you have never heard of before, but thats part of the charm. There are a few booths and a huge bar. Belly up! It's an experience.

Other places of to hit in Savannah:
* Moon River Brewing (some great local beer) http://www.moonriverbrewing.com/
* Vinnie Van Go Go's Pizza (best I have ever had) http://www.vinnievangogos.com/
* The Bar Bar (an underground bar, with a very hippie vibe during the day. They have tons of board games for you to play while drinking. FYI, it turns into a dance club late on Friday's and Saturdays and give off a completely different vibe. I suggest visiting before 8 pm on the weekend.) http://www.thebarbar.com/
