Located in the Eastern Wharf atop the Thompson Hotel in Savannah is a fun spot with excellent service and tasty food. I had the PEI Mussels which had a delicious Smokey flavor and the homemade bread to soak up the broth after. Although I went with a simple cocktail, the staff behind the bar looked to be true mixologists turning out beautiful drinks with interesting ingredients. The vibe was awesome, service excellence, and the sunset was spectacular. Highly recommend. read more

Menu Favorites: Pepperoni Butter and Bread, Whipped Feta + San Marzano and Pepperoni Pizzas Cocktail favorites: Bramble On and Thompson Old Fashion I also love their brunch + they accept reservations which is so convenient. read more

This is our third time here and of the 3, 2 we're not good. The first one, we waited over 60 min for a ribeye that came uncooked. This time, the grits were completely flavorless. The worse part was that upon complaining, the server said "good, I'll let the restaurant know". Good? Not good. I wasn't expecting a comping but at least an "I'm sorry". The nights at the hotel are great but not coming back for food. read more

Went for breakfast with a gf while we were visiting Savannah for the day. The waiter was extremely slow and a bit dismissive. Took my friends "order" and went to walk away before she had even finished. He seemed a bit annoyed when she asked him to add something additional to her order. We both had the frittata, good but not wonderful. Homemade bread was absolutely delicious. The outdoor views were very nice. read more

We had such a wonderful experience at Frostys at Bar Julian. We rented an igloo at 6:00 and loved seeing the lights of the city and festive Christmas lights. The food and drinks were top notch - very festive and delicious! Danielle B was such an incredible server! She really added to the experience. We'll certainly make an igloo at Frostys a year Christmas experience. read more

What's not to like about Bar Julian? A Rooftop bar 5 mins walk from Marriott Savannah Riverfront with unbelievable Sunset view. There are many places to sit comfortably inside and outside. The drinks were well made. The Staffs were friendly. Bar menu was delicious but could use more items. We will be back here the next time we visit Savannah. read more

This is my new favorite rooftop bar in downtown Savannah! ATMOSPHERE Talk about class! This hangout is exploding with swagger. It's located in the luxurious Thompson hotel on east side of historic district. The entrance to the hotel and elevator makes for an elegant journey to the roof top. Very finely decorated. Talk about the view!!! The outdoor patio is a great place to view downtown. Located in the riverfront, you have a prime backdrop of the river, the bridge, and all of downtown Savannah. It's really nice that this rooftop is set back from much of downtown such that you can see it all at once, rather than sitting on a roof in middle of city buildings. DRINKS Great cocktail selection. The classic Manhattan was top notch (I opted for Bourbon based vs Rye). In-line with their classy atmosphere, they use large square ice cubes and melt a design into the top for a super swanky touch. No beer on tap, a nod that their focus is on wine, cocktails and liquor. They do offer bottle beer. FOOD Food menu is limited but classy. Pizza and flatbreads are the mains. Their are some upscale munchies too. I ordered the Carolina Gold Rice Balls (mozzarella, parmesan, country ham). The bacon pieces that garnished the rice balls defiantly made the dish! read more

While it was early we could only get selected items but these proved taste tempting and satisfying. The pleasant mix of warm olives nestled in olive oil, garlic and lemon with fresh rosemary were a great blend of Greek black, Kalamata, french green and other varieties mixed so that each bite was an invitation to the next. Greeted cheerfully as we exited the elevator, we were offered indoor seating or outdoor. Given the lovely day, and spotting chairs in the sunlight calling us, we headed outside. Our server for the visit approached and introduced himself. Nathan was to be our guide to an enjoyable first visit. After reviewing the brief but varied menu, we chose our drinks (and the craft cocktails are innovative) and placed a liquid order. But...now the food items. While it was early we could only get selected items but these proved taste tempting and satisfying. The pleasant mix of warm olives nestled in olive oil, garlic and lemon with fresh rosemary were a great blend of Greek black, Kalamata, french green and other varieties mixed so that each bite was an invitiation to the next. Another selection available at this time was the very enjoyable bread plate, with fresh, hot bread made in the kitchen, served with Pepperoni Butter (yes, do it!) and warm seasoned EVOO. This is a great way to start your stay, or end your night and the view, like the food and drink items are well worth the visit. You don't need to be a guest to visit Julian, and no special pass is needed to ride the elevator to the top floor to begin your enjoyment. On Sundays Brunch is served in Julian so you can watch the ship movement and tugboats work on the Savannah River below. Great people, incomparable view and delicious food items and libations will round out your search for adventure. read more

Great food, Great service, Awesome ambiance. Bar Julian is the best roof top bar in the city. Great views, food, and atmosphere. I went on a Monday night and it was still a cool hangout location. Ruben is an awesome bartender. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. My group started off at the bar and then moved to the outdoor seating because the weather was nice and the view even better. If you have time stop in Happy Hour is awesome, but honestly anytime you good is enjoyable day or night. Try the Midnight Snack. It was my favorite drink. read more

I visited Bar Julian on a Sunday afternoon with some friends. We stayed until we caught a glimpse of the sunset. The bar is located in the the Thompson Hotel at the eastern side of River Street. Parking was confusing for me, but I got a parallel spot right outside the hotel main entrance, and the valet attendant did not tell me to go elsewhere. Up top the hotel is the rooftop bar. Hands down the best view of Savannah! It's refreshing to see downtown from a new angel. All of the other rooftops on River St have the same view. The server and bartender were polite and efficient. The food and drinks were tasty and come to the table quickly. The price was a little expensive, but not as expensive as I thought considering the location. One thing to add was the luxury paper towels in the bathrooms! There were several unisex rooms, which were very clean. read more

Super fun vibe! Would recommend for brunch or a special event. The food was good, but nothing super special. Servers were nice.

The Thompson hotel at Eastern wharf is gorgeous inside their rooftop bar is breathtaking. The views from both inside and out are gorgeous. We were able to watch the container ships and sip our drinks. Each cocktail we got was delicious. The bartender was friendly helpful.

Staff is stellar. Music is good. Views magnificent. Food is fab too. Pizzas especially good. Cocktails five stars.

Firstly the view is stunning. Second, the best hummus I've ever had. And not least by far, the drinks were phenomenal. Our waitress was our favorite of the whole trip. We loved this place and would go back. Pro tip order the bread when you order any dip it doesn't come with it and it's worth it. Sooooooooo good! read more

A great setting for watching downtown and the ships going up and down the river. Food is pretty good. Not great, but pretty good for a rooftop bar. Service was OK. Had to ask for someone to take our order, finally. But after that, we had their attention. Maybe a handoff problem as we asked to sit outside after initially sitting inside. Recommend that if you can. Blood Mary's were very good. We had the Sunday brunch items (breakfast pizza and breakfast burrito) both again pretty darn good. We'll be back for sure. read more

We arrived here before 5pm. And We didn't make reservations for our seat bc their website says no reservations before 7pm. After an hour wait, finally hostess called us our seat is ready even though lots of seat available from beginning!!(that's the seat it was available whole time when we were waiting ) So we are wondering Maybe not enough staff?? hostess wasn't clear about anything. And top of that, customer service wasn't so great. We went to get drinks at the bar counter since we were waiting for our seat getting ready. Bartender was ignored us even bc we were there for 10 min. So we just gave up to get our drinks. Pizza was already cold in this picture which is wrong order our server brought us. read more

The views were my favorite part and sunset is the time to go. There was a DJ on Saturday night which created great energy. Service was very nice, it just took a bit, but they were busy.

Bar Julian - Rooftop view at sunset - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

We were looking for a new place for a early morning breakfast celebration of my birthday. Bar Julian was a great find. Away from the over crowded areas of River Street. I've always been a rooftop bar guy, but those around river street, you end up looking over at other rooftop bars. At Bar Julian you have a great view of the river and cargo ships coming in. A nice view of the Westin and just a very peaceful atmosphere. The fact that they open at 7:00 a.m. is a big plus. I've found my new best place. read more

The views are the best thing about this bar. It's a bit overpriced, and the menu is limited. The views and vices are amazing, and service is nice. It's pricey, but I expected this because it's on top of a modern hotel. We both had the pizza and the artichokes were massive-I had the meat and artichoke pizza. It was ok, not amazing. The size was great, but taste wasn't phenomenal. The drinks were just ok, pricey and not very strong. Overall, I would only return for vibes and maybe a drink. read more

The worst thing about this place is that no one told me about it sooner! What a great hidden gem in Savannah. The view of Savannah is unbeatable, the cocktails were beautiful AND delicious, and I'm pretty sure I'll be dreaming about the Kafta Flatbread and Whipped Feta for a while! I absolutely recommend! read more

Been watching them on IG and decided to explore and try this place. I regret not coming sooner. This is the tallest rooftop bar in Savannah. The views looking towards the city of Savannah are phenomenal. I arrived and was met by Chelsea, a host! She was beyond nice and I'd come back just to see her again. She was professional and made me feel welcome. She found me an outdoor seat and I got one of the best seats in the place to see everything. Matt my server came and he used to work in a different location and found this place. His love of his new job here was evident and his professionalism hasn't waned but increased here. Had some of the appetizers and definitely there food is on a with the excellent views. Had mixed olives and their halomi cigars. Very much enjoyed my visit there and definitely looking forward to returning !! read more

Right in the midst of the revitalization area, the Bar Julian is a rooftop bar on the top of a hotel. The amenities are very nice and the staff is attentive. The claim is the best view in Savannah. This is simply subjective because the industrial area just isn't impressive, as there are more impressive areas from ground level. As far as height and distance it is likely unmatched. The mixed drinks were a little weak, and the food is on the $$$ end, but for a night out with the crew, it's a solid choice. read more

Love this spot with chill vibes... great food and great staff/service Great rooftop bar ... definitely a go-to spot away from the touristy areas... We ordered the black eye falafel, country ham rice balls , and of course the stuffed egg bread pie.... Everything was delicious.... I'll be trying the cocktails soon which I'm sure are super yummy ... Happy chillin, nibblin, and sippin!!! read more

What a roof-top location right on the Savannah River! At night, you can get the best view of the sunset in town and during the day, you can watch massive cargo ships navigate through the Savannah River. They have amazing, photo-worthy cocktails that change up quite a bit and their food is SO GOOD! Their flatbread and pita dough is the best I've had. Quite a few of their dishes have a yummy Mediterranean twist. A sunset cocktail at bar Julian is an amazing way to start the night in Savannah. Skip the over-priced hamburgers and frozen hangovers and Wet Willies and go to bar Julian instead. read more

Vibe: Upscale Intimate Sweeping views We ordered: Fresh Pages- light and sparkling cocktail Nice to Meat You- I liked this more than my husband; loved the fruity + salty taste Can't wait to come back and order some food. Also love that they have creative non-alcoholic cocktails. Additional thoughts: We went the first weekend it was open and were able to be seated quickly outside at the small seated bar top section that faces the *AMAZING* view. It's the perfect spot to watch the sunset on the east side of the river walk. A great bookend to our favorite downtown river! read more

First of all....this place was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I think this is the prettiest rooftop bar I have ever been too in Savannah!!! This rooftop bar is located at Thompson Hotel kinda a distance from Downtown but totally worth it. We went around 6:00 and it wasn't busy at all but I am so happy because we had the best view all night! I ended up getting the GA Tomatoes and Mozzarella dish ($12) and for drink I had (B)ramble On ($12) With tip my total was $30. We had a great time plus our waiter was so sweet and even took pictures for us! The best part was they had the new Savannah togo cups (aluminum cups) that you can use at multiple places in Savannah to help reduce plastic cup waste. Can't wait to go back! read more

Wow! The view is stunning. If it's nice weather, definitely go because the view is worth it. Super friendly bartender. Highly recommend

Our new favorite rooftop bar! I always receive excellent and timely service. Drinks are overpriced, but comparable to other rooftops in Savannah. Their bread and dips though are something to talk about! Truthfully the pizza and small bites are worth it more than the drinks. The view cannot be beat though. read more
