Artillery Bar

I’m a fresh faced 21-year-old who still hasn’t built a perfect palette for alcohol. It has become something I dread to drink around my friends because I always make a sour face at the taste. And, yet, The Artillery seemed to change that for me. I came here on a random Sunday with my best friend and our server recommended us two drinks upon seeing that it was our first time there. I ordered the Bit of a Pickle and my best friend ordered Tomato, Тomahto. Not only were these the best tasting drinks we have ever had, but the aroma from these drinks were amazing! Safe to say having one glass each had us on the sidewalks of Savannah giggly and satiated. I would definitely come here again!

We visited Artillery because of the great reviews and recommendation from a friend. The design is stunning - there are so many textures and moody lighting that create a sophisticated yet cozy ambiance (loved the tile ceiling). The service was professional and friendly enough. Everyone who enters gets carded. The space isn’t super large so I could see how it would fill up quickly but the gorgeous bar offers a lot of seating. We ordered an espresso martini, French 75, and Artillery Punch. We loved all of them! There is a good variety of creative cocktails and wines and the cocktail menu shows you what glass your drink will come in which is fun. There is also a “call” button at every seating group that you can press for service. Speakeasy vibes! Would definitely come back here. Great spot for pre or post dinner drinks.

Stopped in for drinks before dinner, ended up spending more time than we thought falling in love with the cocktails and ambience. All of the bartenders were personable and made our experience that much better. Even when we had to change one up, they made it an even better cocktail. The complimentary snacks made it even better and allowed us a great first night in Savannah.

Our tour guide recommended this place for the best cocktails in Savannah and that was definitely not a lie! The menu was extensive, drinks were so unique, and even the bathrooms had the best vibes with good smelling candles. Can't ask for much more than that

This was a really cool bar with historic roots. First off the atmosphere in here is awesome. Seating is very limited however. The cocktails were very cool and unique. Bartenders were very nice and quick with the orders. If the side bar stool seating was more comfortable my friends and I would have stayed longer but on to the next place. If you can snag a seat at the main bar you could probably stay here all night.

This quaint little bar really knows their cocktails. Dimly lit for the full speakeasy experience. We sampled signature cocktails and classics - all were crafted with care and expertise. Bar staff were courteous and friendly. Attracts locals as well as tourists in the know. Food rating is N/A.

I must preface by saying that I and my wife, locals both, have been going to Artillery for over 4 years. We have spent countless time and money here and have recommended this establishment to probably hundreds of people for not just the craft cocktail experience they have built, but the exemplary customer service as well. Tonight, my wife and I got married and had been planning for over 10 months on taking ~6 close family members who have traveled from across the globe to be here to Artillery and arrived before 11:00 PM tonight. We went inside and were told, despite the number of patrons inside, that they were closed. I asked the bartender if there was any way we could grab a quick drink, as we just wed and have been planning this journey for some time. The response was a cold, "Congratulations, but we're actually closed." When I asked about the odd timing and no updated calendar hours, I was told, coldly again, "it's the week before Thanksgiving, so we are closing early tonight, sorry." Before the bartender swiftly walked away and left from view without hardly looking us in the eye. As I said, I have been a continued local patron of Artillery for years, and I have never once before tonight felt coldly treated or anything off about the service. It was the one location I wanted to bring my people who have traveled from as far as Australia to be here in Savannah as an example of the best that coastal Georgia has to offer in the way of excellent cocktails and excellent service. That's why I have changed my review. Tonight seemed to defy my normal expectation of the most consistently excellent bar in Savannah, and most importantly, broke my trust as a long-term customer on an extremely important evening.

We stopped in right at opening and got a great Manhattan. That's what we were looking for, but the 'menu' is extensive. Dozens of cocktails, hundreds of brands. If you're looking for cocktail hour before dinner the Artillery is the place. Within 15 minutes of opening the place was filled. And the tables are intimate but close, so you can have a lone drink with your loved one or join in the party with your neighbors.
