Savannah Happy Hour Guide: Every Verified Deal, Day by Day

Five o'clock hits different in Savannah. The golden light comes off the river, the squares go quiet, and half the city figures out where the nearest good deal is. This guide covers every happy hour we've verified at The Local Savannah — 19 bars and restaurants with confirmed days, times, and specials — so you can plan an afternoon drink run without guessing.

One quick note before you go: happy hour details change more often than anything else on a bar menu. Everything below was verified on September 6, 2026, and every spot here links out to its listing with the latest details. A 30-second call before you walk over is never a bad idea.

The Daily Deals — Any Day of the Week

Don't want to think about what day it is? These four run their happy hour every single day.

Abe's on Lincoln pours daily from 4:00 to 6:00 PM with $5 drink specials, $10 draft cocktail specials, and $3 domestic beers — a solid pre-dinner play if you're staying in the Historic District.

Bar Julian — the tallest rooftop bar in Savannah, atop the Thompson Hotel at Eastern Wharf (201 Port St) — runs a daily Sunset Happy Hour from 5:00 to 7:00 PM with $10 signature cocktails, $7 wines, and $5 select beers.

Repeal 33 Fine Pub & Eatery does a daily 4:00–6:00 PM bar happy hour with some of the best value on this list: $3 off craft cocktails and wine, $2 off beer and seltzer, $6 wells, and $1.50 oysters. The oyster deal alone makes it worth building an afternoon around.

Belford's Savannah Seafood & Steaks, in City Market, runs daily 4:00–6:00 PM with $5 draft beers, $6 house wines, $7 martini specials, and discounted bar bites.

The Early Birds and the Long Windows

If you're the type who wants the fun to start early — or last — these are your spots.

McDonough's Restaurant & Lounge starts the earliest happy hour in our verified set: 2:00 to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, with half-price appetizers, $3 well drinks, $4 Georgia craft drafts, and $5 Jameson shots. Lunch-turned-happy-hour is a legitimate strategy here.

The Rail Pub goes the other direction: Monday is all-day happy hour, and Tuesday through Friday it runs 3:00 to 7:00 PM with $2 domestic drafts and $3 well drinks. A four-hour window and some of the cheapest beer downtown.

Wet Willie's, the daiquiri institution on River Street, runs Monday through Friday 4:00 to 7:00 PM with $1 off all daiquiri sizes and half-price select appetizers.

Chart House, on the riverfront, has one of the longer weekday windows: Monday through Friday 4:30 to 7:00 PM in the lounge with $5–$8 select wines, draft beers, specialty martinis, and prime rib sliders.

Riverfront and Rooftop Drinking

Part of the point of drinking in Savannah is the view. These are the verified happy hours where the backdrop does half the work.

Rocks on the Roof, the rooftop bar at The Bohemian Hotel on River Street, runs Monday through Thursday 4:00 to 6:00 PM with $5 craft beers, $7 house wines, and $8 draft cocktails — with direct views of the Savannah River.

Myrtle & Rose Rooftop Garden, up in Plant Riverside District, pours Monday through Thursday 4:00 to 6:00 PM with $10 signature craft cocktails, $6 craft draft beers, and discounted flatbreads. One of the prettiest rooftops in the city.

Vic's on the River keeps it short but sweet: Monday through Friday, 4:00 to 5:00 PM, with $3 off select cocktails and wines plus bar drink specials. One hour, river views, excellent timing for a pre-dinner drink if your reservation is nearby.

River House Seafood runs Monday through Friday 4:00 to 6:00 PM at the bar with $3 select draft beers, $5 house wines, and discounted appetizers — right on the cobblestones.

Cheap Drinks, Local Flavor

The neighborhood bars where regulars outnumber tourists — and the deals are honest.

Alley Cat Lounge, an 1870s basement speakeasy tucked into a historic alley off Broughton Street, runs Monday through Thursday 4:00 to 6:00 PM with select discounted craft cocktails, draft beers, and wines.

Lone Wolf Lounge does Monday through Friday 4:00 to 6:00 PM with $6 daiquiris, $5 draft beers, and $7 highballs.

Water Witch Tiki Bar shifts the vibe tropical: Monday through Friday 5:00 to 7:00 PM with $8 classic Mai Tais and daiquiris and $5 house punch.

Peregrin, the rooftop bar at the Perry Lane Hotel, runs Monday through Thursday 4:00 to 6:00 PM with $8 select wine and cocktail specials.

When Happy Hour Comes With Something Extra

Husk Savannah runs a Monday–Friday 5:00 to 6:00 PM bar-lounge hour with $8 craft cocktails, $5 select beers, and bar bite specials — the rare happy hour where the food is the headline.

Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos turns Thursday and Friday into an event: BOGO happy hour from doors at 6:00 to 8:00 PM, with $7 beers, $9 wines, and $11 cocktails — and then the pianos take over.

Starland Yard, the open-air food-and-drink yard on the south edge of downtown, runs Tuesday through Friday 4:00 to 6:00 PM with $1 off all draft beers, $5 house wines, and cocktail features. Come for the deals, stay for the food stalls.
