A Starland wing shop founded in 2011 by Savannah resident Gary Gordon and named for his birthday, May 20th. Savannah Magazine readers voted it Best Wings in 2026, as they did in 2024. A local notes it stays open until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays.
A side-street bar a block off Bay Street. Eat It and Like It (14 May 2024): 'This bar's claim to fame? Art. In the form of hundreds of renditions of Abraham Lincoln drawn (by locals and tourists alike) on cocktail napkins.' The same piece says it has seating inside and out and is dog-friendly.
The address is a lane, not a street ... Broughton Lane runs behind the shops on West Broughton. The bar calls itself 'a classy 1870's hidden gem basement bar highlighting Savannah's deepest library collection of fine spirits and cocktails.' Visit Savannah says the cocktail menu is large enough to fill a newspaper. In Savannah Magazine (13 April 2026) bar manager Chris Schofield called it just a bar in a basement with good vibes and better cocktails.
A burger shop on Habersham that calls itself Savannah's late-night burger spot and posts hours until five in the morning. It is the first local name people give when someone asks where to eat after midnight. Opinion on the food is split ... fans go for the oddities like fried sandwiches, and a few commenters are blunt that they do not rate it.

A bar, kitchen and ten duckpin lanes in the basement of the old Woolworth's building on Broughton Street. Savannah Agenda reported it opened on 7 March 2025 under Harley Krinsky and Chris Godfrey, who also own Congress Street Social Club and Sorry Charlie's Oyster Bar, with food from the Sorry Charlie's kitchen. Garden and Gun (April/May 2026) called it 'one of Savannah's welcoming small concert venues' for regional rock, funk and blues.
A pizza bar set back from Highway 80, nowhere near the beach strip. Savannah Magazine readers voted it the Pizza winner in Best of Savannah 2026. The Savannah Jams live music guide (24 March 2026) lists bands in 'the backyard courtyard' on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 1am.
A below-street-level tapas and martini bar near Ellis Square that calls itself 'swank, sexy & sophisticated.' Live music runs Fridays and Saturdays ... blues, swing, jazz, classic rock and Americana ... and the bar says it plans to add more nights. Connect Savannah readers named it a finalist for best martini in 2022.
Nickie's is a bar and grill on Butler Avenue at the south end, one block from Tybrisa Street. The Main Street directory posts it open until 3 a.m. every night, which makes it one of the latest kitchens-and-bars on the island by posted hours. It took part in Tybee Island Restaurant Week in August 2026.
A Tybee sports bar with 16 HD TVs, a projection screen, pinball, air hockey and video games, plus wings, burgers, seafood and gator bites. Visit Tybee lists it among the island's nightlife stops for 'Karaoke, neon lights and hip music', dancing, darts and pool. First responders and military get 10 percent off.
Tubby's sits on River Drive in Thunderbolt, looking across at the Wilmington River where the shrimp boats dock. The kitchen is known for fried shrimp and fresh catch done grilled, fried, blackened, broiled or steamed. The week has a rhythm of its own: live music Thursday through Sunday, line dancing on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5, bingo on Wednesdays at 7. It belongs to Savannah's Live Oak Restaurant Group, which also runs Molly McGuire's on Wilmington Island.
