    Artillery punch !
    Jennifer G.

    Popped in for a cocktail and so glad we did! The setting is an old artillery storage building and has amazing historic vibes. We went with the happy hour specials including the artillery punch! Aside from the price we were very happy with the quality of the cocktails...there Was a slight smokiness to the artillery punch that was awesome! Our bartender was super nice and funny - definitely recommend popping in here for a cocktail - they had a ton of options!

    As Savannah's self-proclaimed, cocktail bar aficionado ;), artillery is BY FAR. My favorite place to grab a drink - solo, with the hubby, or with friends. I'm embarrassed that I haven't written I review for Artillery. Seeing as I've been here more times than I'd like to admit. The inside is perfect. Not too big and just enough seating to make it intimate. It's not attached or affiliated to a hotel or restaurant, it's intentionally set up to make you feel like this is the only cocktail bar in the Savannah area. I never want to stop by anywhere else when I go here! There's a drink for everyone, even those that opt out of libations. Each seat gives a different feel, but there's not a bad seat in the house. There's even absinthe on drip! I also love that it's a little off the beaten path, not in the mix of the downtown hubbub, and off of a square that's a little quieter. And the decor is stunning. There are so many details. If you haven't been or are contemplating, just go. You will not be disappointed. FYI- It doesn't serve food, so that means it's not open on Sunday.

    Stunning architecture combining modern marble and brass accents with historic brick. An interior design lover's feast for the eyes as she sips her cocktail. I forgot the name of my cocktail but it was delicious and unique as the description promised! Such friendly bartenders too, I appreciated the chattiness. Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby

    Great wine selection, and sadly couldn't get any cocktails because of the tap water issue (out of their control). They still let us come in to enjoy the ambiance and we ordered what we could. This venue is beautiful and worth stepping into for any reason. Service was great and they seem to know what they're doing. We'd go back if we are in the area again.

    Ive never had a cocktail smell decadent! Amazing curation of a cocktail menu. You can really get behind the art of it all. With speakeasy vibes, the service is amazing and again, the menu is amazing! Would come here for a pre dinner cocktail or an after dinner drink.

    With the abundance of watering holes in today's world, at times it's hard at times to distinguish one joint from another. After all, we are all there for a dose of the same thing. Yet, in the most unexpected places, surprises occur and Artillery in Savannah was the setting for such an incredible occurrence on one hot summer night. Artillery is situated inside an old stable for artillery horses. It's a gorgeously restored space inside, preserving the original brick but augmenting it with rimless mirrors and elegant yet slightly industrial fixtures that create the vibe of a speakeasy. With that said, it would not be appropriate to call it a speakeasy as it's relatively easy to find and does not play any silly games at entry. So, what to get here? If you are a visitor to Savannah, there is a cocktail made here that is synonymous with the city's history: The Chantham Artillery Punch. It's an unfathomable collection of liquors that may not be for the faint of heart, but leaving the city without it would be a trip incomplete. At Artillery it is also nicely presented in a golden pineapple and frankly, tastes great, dangerously great. If you are a local, the decision is a bit simpler. Get literally anything else. There is a collection of exquisite bottles and people working here will craft practically anything that one could desire.

    If you're searching for a cozy cocktail bar with a strong bourbon focus and a respectable wine selection, Arillary is a hidden gem worth checking out. Tucked away in Savannah's historic downtown--right next to Public Kitchen but just outside the main tourist zone--Arillary offers a quieter, more intimate vibe. It's only a few blocks from Forsyth Park, and street parking is typically easy to find and free after 5 PM. While they don't have a full kitchen, they do offer light snacks like peanuts and pub mix to pair with your drink. The ambiance is stunning--warm, inviting, and perfect for a date night or a relaxing solo stop on your way home. Seating can be limited for groups of four or more, as there are only three larger tables available. If you're planning to come with a group, arriving right when they open is your best bet since they don't take reservations--it's strictly first come, first served. Heads up: they check IDs at the door regardless of age, so have yours ready. Fun tip--whoever presents their ID first gets seated first, so be quick! The cocktail menu is seasonal and rotates frequently. If nothing on the menu catches your eye, the bartenders are more than happy to craft something custom based on your preferences--which is my go-to move. Service can vary depending on who's working and how busy it is, but I've never had a bad experience. Just remember, things move a little slower in the South--embrace the pace and enjoy the vibe.

    Super quaint top-tier craft cocktail establishment. The cocktails we had were mixed to perfection. The bartenders were very friendly as well as the people enjoying drinks. All the cocktails we saw looked scrumptious. Although the place is small, it can accommodate larger parties, I would probably stick to 8 max if you want to sit down. Do beware of the dress code though, this is not a very casual place.

    I've read this place was crowded, so was worried, but on a Tuesday night, there was tons of seating. I really liked that the seating is diverse--small tables, larger tables, a regular bar, and a low bar, which is perfect for someone like me with a 28 inch inseam. The bartender was cool and quirky, very attentive. Super creative drinks here. I had the Park Your Boat at the recommendation of the bartender, made with coconut tea infused rum, Mozart chocolate coconut, bepi tosolini wild strawberry (there were several ingredients I had to google), lime, and Demerara. It was. little sweet for my usual taste, but very velvety, luxurious, and did taste great (for a sweet drink). I also had the Gilbert's Law, made with il gusto de Amalfi mandarin liqueur, altos silver, agave, and acid grapefruit. Given the agave and grapefruit, I thought it would have more flavor, but it was pretty mild. It was easy to drink however. Can't complain. I tried the Crab People, which I did not like at all (didn't even finish it). I didn't google its ingredients and should have, however given how creative the drink is, I'm not sure I would have shied away anyway (murrell's row mignonette gin, tomato shallot shrub, oleo). Oleo is margarine (insert crying face). Hated that flavor, but a fun and interesting thing to tell people about later I suppose. I took the Fizzy Lifting Drink to go (yes, Savannah has a to go law). Uncle Val's botanical gin (my favorite), hibiscus, honey, lemon, sparkling wine. Didn't taste quite how I thought it would. The sparkling wine drowned out the Uncle Val's botanical notes in my opinion, but maybe I'm biased because Val's is how I make my G&Ts. Overall, the vibes are great here. Excellent 70s-80s-yacht rock soundtrack the night I went (though at least one night a week they do live music). The aesthetic is beautiful. Prices are average, maybe even good, for the complexity of the drinks. They have tons of interesting and inventive cocktails, including one made with white balsamic, dill, and cracked pepper. Several different spirits, flavors, and herbs to try. Many ingredients I've never heard of, or have rarely seen, and I frequent cocktail bars a lot.

    Loved this cute and classic cocktail bar! The drinks changed constantly and are honestly incredible. Definitely a great place to go Savannah before dinner or just with friends. My mom and I both got the pink lady which was in a coupe glass and a hibiscus type rosemary drink with a side of Prosecco. It was lovely, and the atmosphere was just very relaxing and felt elegant. Definitely recommend if you were looking for an upscale bar in Savannah!

    I love this place. I go here every time I am in town. The drinks are amazing. The atmosphere is fantastic and the service is next level. The drinks have changed every time I go but they are alway good.

    This bar staff was top 10 fun! Delicious drinks (always love a menu with a Last Word on it) and the live music was perfect. Love the mix of architecture elements from the exposed brick to metal and tile details. Perfect place to grab a drink before or after dinner.

    My husband and I stopped a Artillery on a Saturday night at around 6pm. The bar was full, but we were able to snag a seat on the plush seating along the wall. The ambiance is amazing. The right dim lighting to have a trendy cocktail bar (speakeasy but not quite) vibe. In our seating area they had buttons along the wall to call your server, but I don't think they worked (and they weren't needed, as our server was quite attentive). I started with the Rum Job. I love old fashioneds, but honestly don't always love whiskey, so I loved to see a similar type of cocktail with rum. I also loved the dried banana chips in the drink, a nice complement to the flavors. Boozy but not too boozy, and just a touch of sweetness to make the drink enjoyable. Would definitely get this again!! I then moved on to Petal Pushers to try something different. Normally I don't like sweet drinks, but this had enough tartness and mouthfeel that I enjoyed it! It also photographed well. Didn't take first place as my fave, but I could imagine it being a popular drink. Not the cheapest cocktails in the world, but you get what you pay for--they are excellent and so creative! I wholeheartedly recommend Artillery!

    Stayed a bit for a paper plane.

    Can you smoke cigars here?

    No, outside on the curb

    Will they do to go drinks?

    Yes. Since Savannah allows you to take drinks to go downtown. They can make any drink to go as well.

    Do they have any outdoor seating options?

    Negative

    I was really excited about trying this place but it seems to be permanently closed, can anyone confirm?

    It has reopened after renovations due to smoke damage from a neighboring restaurant.

Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup.
