#TxGirlsGoneSav - Savannah, GA
My second annual girls trip was to Savannah with two great friends … we ate and drank our way through that city. We opted to go outside of our normal summer schedule when the Georgia weather is a tad bit milder. October was supposed to be a little cooler and while it was still pretty humid, we did appreciate some slightly cooler temperatures since we did walk quite a bit.
Once before I have purchased the Scenic Tour on the double decker bus in Philadelphia and we were happy to do this again instead of Ubering our way back and forth. We stayed at the Marriott on Liberty Street which was a few miles from the Historic District and East River Street. The tour bus was a great way to get to and from and learn a little bit about the city in the process.
We had drinks at the The Distellery right across from our hotel twice which felt a little like home, so we enjoyed it immensely. It was quiet and the beer was cold. Our nights were built around which restaurant we would have dinner at. Our first night there, we happened by the Ordinary Pub for drinks as we were walking down Broughton. We ended up seeing the food that was coming out and stayed for dinner - it was AMAZING! The next few nights, we enjoyed the Olde Pink House, Girbaldi’s (which honestly we chose after seeing it next door to the tavern where our Ghost Tour started and hearing the story of the man who haunts it upstairs), and Treylors Park (this place was super fun and had a great vibe). One afternoon, we walked down River Street and had drinks at Rock’s on the Roof (the view was awesome as a few big boats rolled in and we were seated on the rooftop of the Bohemian Hotel) and also at Molly MacPherson’s Scottish Pub and Grill (but honestly, it was mostly because we needed a bathroom break more than another drink). We didn’t make it up in time for breakfast any one day, so we had brunch at The Collins Quarter and Prohibition Savannah - both delish and even better cocktails. Not one of these restaurants disappointed and all came from our recommendation list to us - all great! If I had to pick my top favorites out of those we tried, it would be Ordinary Pub and The Collins Quarter.
Outside of some window shopping, eating and drinking, we did squeeze in a Ghost Tour, which was creepy enough and made from some great photos! My overall review was that Savannah is a haunted city and it felt a little like we were stepping back in time. I am glad I went because it’s been on my list of US cities to visit since I was in high school, but not sure how much of a hurry I’ll be in to go back again.
The Ordinary Pub - anything but ordinary food!
My “Proof” from our Ghost Tour - Don’t come at me with light and blurring.
