Enjoy Traditional Southern Cuisine at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room

This restaurant is well-known for its homestyle traditions that defy how most restaurants operate. The menu changes daily, and guests are escorted in shifts of no more than 10 at a time. “It’s no secret that visitors mad for ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil’ make a beeline for Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room for fried chicken, candied yams, and macaroni and cheese,” wrote Jeff Gordinier for the New York Times in 2015.

The dining style remains true to its roots, and the food is served as it would be at a family dinner table, where guests pass dishes around to each other. This is one authentic way to experience the beauty of Savannah.

Enjoy More Than 20 Craft Beers at the Distillery Ale House

The Distillery Ale House is Savannah’s only craft bar, and it boasts 21 beers on tap and 99 types of bottled beers. In addition, the family-owned establishment offers fine pub dishes inspired by the beers. The Distillery is located in a building that was first a saloon in 1895 and has since hosted a furniture company, a pharmacy, and various other businesses. The Distillery features mahogany bars and artifacts dating back to the American Revolution.
