    What a great cocktail bar! I came here for my birthday pre-dinner cocktail with making a reservation informing it was my birthday. The place is very cozy and right by the river and seats a good amount of people with a set of chairs on the balcony outside as an option. We got sat at the river side and it was beautiful looking out at the view while enjoying a nice drink. I got the Adelaide's Song and it was delicious! Our super sweet waitress also informed us that we could go out to the balcony to see the view and I can say for sure it's great for pictures so I appreciated her letting us know about that. She later came up to us and realized the birthday noted on the reservation and asked if I wanted chocolate torte or creme brûlée, which I got the chocolate torte and was able to get it to go due to a dinner reservation, but that made me feel very special that she noted it and made sure I got a complimentary birthday dessert with a cutely noted box! Also, safe to say that's the best chocolate torte I've ever had and the strawberries complimented it very well. Overall, this is the best experience I've ever gotten at a cocktail lounge and I thank the waitress for that!

    Arco Cocktail Lounge was the first cocktail bar of our Savannah weekend, and we loved it! It was a bit tricky to physically find, since Google Maps led us to River Street, but the main entrance was actually on Factor's Walk. We ended up taking an elevator from Vic's Coffee Bar to get up there. Once we got inside, I was immediately obsessed with the interior decor. They had beautiful chandeliers, big arched windows, plush green velvet seating, and massive Victorian-style mirrors. We chose a table near the window and had a great view of the riverboats passing by. Our server was sweet and personable, and even offered to take photos of us on the balcony. The bar was mostly empty on a Saturday afternoon, since they were getting ready to close after brunch. For drinks, I ordered the Aperol's Bow and my friend got a Bellini. The Aperol's Bow was a strawberry-infused twist on an Aperol Spritz - delicious and refreshing. The strawberry flavor didn't taste artificial at all, and I loved the dark cherries. We only stayed for one drink, but really enjoyed the experience. Would return!

    This was my favorite experience on my Savannah trip. I made reservations and got a wonderful spot by the window with great views. The decor is very chic. Nathan was my server and was great. I got the scallops and wanted to substitute risotto for green beans and it wasn't a problem. All of my drinks and food were great. I highly recommend.

    Wind of Change, Blood Orange Martini, and Knobb Creek with Coke - all were great!

    Great staff, drinks, food, and space. Definitely one of my favorite cocktail lounges in Savannah. The staff here are phenomenal. They will give you great drink suggestions, and go above and beyond. They also have great memories. This was my second time in but they remembered my group dressed up for Halloween when we came in the first time. When they are packed, it is loud. Personally I like the chiller vibe when there are less people, so says the introvert though! Drinks: Mano e Mano - finally a savory drink! It is bright without being sweet. I think the balsamic really helps. It also comes with a yellow cherry tomato as garnish. I did not ask about the Bourbon type but it tasted good with well Bourbon This is my new favorite drink. R(h)um in a Rose Field - I tried this later in the evening. It should have been my first drink because it was fruitier and lighter than Mano e Mano, but I liked it. Paper Plane - my friend got a paper plane made by Miller. He offered it as an option when she wasn't sure what to have. She loved the drink but the best part? He made a little paper airplane to go on top!! So much fun! Bella Primavera - my friend also tried this but she had the same experience as with my two drinks: this one should have come before Paper Plane. It was good but the other was her top choice. Malört - yes you read that right. The Chicago liquor. One of the bartenders went out and got some of this from another bar so we could try this. So thoughtful but the drink I was grateful I had some of my R(h)um in the Rose Field left. Malört is not for the faint of heart (or taste buds). Kitchen closes about 90 minutes before the bar closes. The food was great, so get there early to try some! Food: Marinated Baby Octopus - this has SO much octopus! I couldn't believe it! It came with like 7-8 pieces. I loved the chili sauce that was on it. I was glad I had the risotto plate to help me cut the octopus. Saffron Risotto - this was delicious. It paired well with the Octopus not only because I got more plate space to cut on but also it provided a little chili sauce heat break. Charcuterie Board - there was so much cheese on this plate! Between the savory and sweet options plus the 5 kinds of cheeses, there was something for everyone on the plate. Next time: I've got to try the Blood Orange Martini!

    This is such a cute place for drinks! A little on the pricey side but def worth it for its Its elegant and adorable decor! Great place for a girls night out or drinks after work! The place wasn't very busy but they only had one bartender so that made service a bit slow, but I still enjoyed my drink! Very tasty! My only true criticisms are that they didn't have any reposado tequila and that's the glasses they use make you feel as though your drink isnt very full. Other than that, its a cute place, with a relaxing atmosphere that I would love to go back to!

    Beautiful and sophisticated space that is serving up some unique and delicious cocktails. I enjoyed everything about the space and would be perfectly fine dining here solo or with a group. Our server Andrew was helpful, pleasant, and provided excellent service. I would have stayed longer but was exposed to an obnoxious group that was sat right next to us that destroyed the entire vibe of the place. I was pretty disappointed management didn't ask them to chill out because their energy did not go with the place and they were disturbing. Due to them I only ordered one drink and an appetizer and decided to leave. I had the Cucumber Bliss $13, very refreshing and tasty and the pan tostado was perfect for a snack $7.   This spot is right next to Vic's on the River on East Bay Street.

    Came here for cocktails with some girlfriends and was really impressed. I really loved the atmosphere and the style. There is an amazing view of the river. And I was super excited to find non-alcoholic drink options that were beautiful and delicious. I will definitely be back!

    I love Arco! It is one of my favorite places. The food, service, and ambiance are all excellent. Arco is located off of Bay Street, look for the black and white striped umbrellas. When you step inside you will see a variety of tables, comfy sofas, chairs, and a medium sized bar area. Do not let the front area space fool you! Keep walking, there is more seating in the back. My favorite area is the bar. I love to sit directly at the bar counter. Andrew, my favorite bartender always makes my experience fantastic! The drinks are wonderful. They are well thought out, delicious, and beautiful. The food is delicious too. I got the Chilean sea bass. It came with a spinach risotto and scrumptious sauce. It was a lovely presentation. I enjoyed every bite of it. Go to Arco, whether for a drink, a bite to eat or both, you won't be disappointed!

    Grabbed a few drinks here on a girls trip and had a great time. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartenders all night. They really made our night more fun. Loved the entire staff! Pax and Angelo (I think) were the best. The cocktails are so delicious (a little on the small side but still good). My friend ordered some food and even though I didn't try it myself it smelled really good and my friend said it was delicious. The atmosphere is very classy and pretty. Loved the decor and charm of it being in an 1860 Victorian building. We also checked out their sister lounge, 'Peacock Lounge' afterwards. Also great!

    Baby Octopus
    Melina B.

    Such a cute place to have a delicious meal and drink! The restaurant opened promptly at 5 and we made reservations so we weee seated quickly. We were given waters and I decided to order the mocktail called the Hudson Express and my husband got the Lavender Bliss drink and we both enjoyed our drinks. For appetizer, we got the marinated baby octopus which was delicious and we loved the Thai chili sauce they used for this dish. For our entrees, I ordered the grill shrimp that came with a side of risotto and the shrimp was well seasoned but I did not really care for the risotto. My husband got the filet mingon cooked medium and it was cooked to perfection and also seasoned well. Unfortunately, he did not care for the side of green beans because they were a little mushy. Our waitress was kind and attentive. We absolutely loved the decor and atmosphere of this place! Such a great date night spot!

    Charcuterie board(The Farm), Burrata and Heirloom Tomatoes, and Pan Tostado.
    Greg S.

    We stopped into Arco before catching our Walking Tour. We had the Tostado, Burrata, and the Charcuterie Board. We enjoyed them all and the Burrata was hands down our favorite! All the ingredients were so fresh. For cocktails we had the Blood Orange Martini and the Never More. Would highly recommend both! Our server was very friendly and attentive and the ambience is warm and classy. Probably our favorite stop in Savannah!

    The Kingston and Cucumber Bliss
    Lisa C.

    Fabulous cocktails ... great vibe and ambiance! Enjoyed the Pan Tostado appetizer. The grilled bread was crunchy on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside, which was a pleasant surprise, and dipping it into the Italian garlic oil was heavenly! Highly recommend Arco!

But I do know if you buy a ticket to the basement Delilah's burlesque show, you get automatic entrance. The drinks are fine. Basics like mojito, daiquiri, Cuba libre, rum punch. Martinis, old fashions, corpse reviver, etc. Nothing innovative here, but the very cool seating area is what you're after here. The service is good. The best part is the burlesque show. It was an exceptional hour of entertainment. Since it was October, the girls did Halloween themed shows, like Thriller and zombie dances. Colorful, exciting, exotic, creative. I paid almost 123 dollars for a VIP table (three seats, I was solo, so essentially I paid for three seats at one table) up front. It's a super small venue and the general admission seats are mere feet behind the tables and much cheaper. So I wouldn't recommend the VIP tables unless you're just wanting to spend big for no reason. Loved the Delilah's. It's really the only reason to go to Mata Hari's though.
