"As author Ali Dunworth describes in her 2024 book, A Compendium of Irish Pints: The Culture, Customs and Craic, a place doesn’t have to scream “I’m Irish!” to qualify as a great pub. Rather, it’s all about the drinks served, the company, and the atmosphere. “The older, the better,” she writes, citing cabinets full of curios, brass bar taps, dark wood, and straightforward service among the characteristics she prefers. With this list in mind, Dunworth would surely find comfort in Crystal Beer Parlor. What began as an early 1900s family-owned grocery is now a Savannah institution owned by John Nicols. Choose from dozens of beers on tap, including Guinness Draught and Nitro Stout, while chowing down on blue cheese-covered crisps, fried duck wings, creamy crab stew, and sandwiches." - Colleen McNally
