"Tucked just around the corner from busy Broughton Street, O’Connell’s has been a downtown mainstay since the ’90s. After moving locations and changing hands, Dan O’Connell (son of the original owner, Malcolm O’Connell) revived the current iteration in 2009. Nearly every inch of the walls is filled with framed relics of Savannah’s past. The pub’s cozy size doesn’t accommodate a kitchen but will allow publicans to bring their own snacks. On New Year’s Eve, regulars gather for a pot-luck-style celebration and toast when the clock strikes midnight on Dublin time." - Colleen McNally Arnett
