This place is stunning. The attention to detail should not be overlooked. From the ingredients in each drink to the decor and even the staff, everything is one point. The staff here is amazing, very kind and there are tons of people who know how to provide spectacular service.
Even though this place is beautiful and newly opened, I will say that the concept is an interesting one in the Savannah area. The lobby for the Municipal Hotel IS the bar and restaurant, not in a separate section of the building or its own space. They do take reservations for tables and the bar (interesting), and I recommend you do make one. We just wanted drinks and desert, but were very confused with the instructions we received from the hostess. We went to sit where we thought we could sit, and she told us those were reserved seats, then we went to the bar and were told again that those were reserved seats. I had to ask for clarification on where we actually COULD sit in the main area, and we were told we could stand off to the side of the walk up car area or in one of the two sets of lounge chairs by the from window, the mezzanine, or downstairs. We went to the mezzanine and it was a cool spot. (The person who explained the seating best to us comped our drinks, so that was very kind)
After sitting on the mezzanine level, a table opened and we went down. The seating we were at is NOT the best for eating, very low seats and high tables, but great for drinks! I would recommend getting a booth or the bar to eat comfortably. Being moved that many times dampened the mood.
Again, the bar is in the lobby of the hotel. The check-in desk is in the spa w space of all the hubbub. I imagine that might get clunky if people are checking in late, but it seems there's another door to walk through if you're just going to the hotel.
Beautiful addition, looking forward to see how they iron out the kinks as they become more established.
