Savannah Nightlife: Historic District South

The quieter squares and Jones Street, running down to Forsyth Park. The line outside Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room forms here every morning, and Crystal Beer Parlor has been pouring at Jones and Jefferson since the 1930s.

The Original Pinkie Masters

Historic District South

Eat It and Like It calls it 'THE Savannah dive bar': 'Pinkie's (named for original owner Luis Christopher Masterpolis, more widely known as Pinkie) has been pouring PBRs since 1951.' The same piece corrects the famous story. Jimmy Carter did not announce his run here. On a 1978 visit he slipped out a side door of the DeSoto Hotel, walked the 30 yards over, stood on the bar and thanked Pinkie for his support. A star marks the spot. Savannah Magazine readers voted it Best Dive Bar in Best of Savannah 2026.
