This was our 6th stop on the Savannah Bar Crawl. They have live music. We did not get food but the drinks were good. Great atmosphere, very clean and laid back. The bartenders are amazing.

We were in town for the St. Patrick's Day parade and I was in need of a bloody Mary and I overheard someone talking about Bay Street blues having amazing bloody Mary's so we decide to make a trip in, they were super busy so it took a minute to get the bartenders to come over but once they came over they were awesome. Really love the atmosphere of this bar and it honestly feels like family. Love the pictures in the hallways to the bathroom. Looking forward to coming back to this little bar every time that we are in town

a bar filled with people

Let's be clear, this joint is ridiculous. This karaoke thing Is ODC. Drinks priced just right. Savannah....: you don't owe me Shyt...:

My husband and I stopped in and the owner Bonnie was nice as can be! This bar is a must see! We love family owned businesses. They collect $25 to donate to St Jude's and you can decorate your own ceiling tile which I thought was so cool. You can write on the walls which is unique. Karaoke starts at 9 PM. Stop in and have a fireball shot.

Plenty of parking so go and enjoy a great meal!

This is a must go to place to enjoy real food made by real people in a real neighborhood. Interesting and original menu, fresh taste and terrific staff plus you can park easily. Get off the beaten path and support the locals.

This is my favorite place to go in Savannah!!! Live bands during the week and karaoke on the weekends. The bartenders are the best and will remember your name and your drink before you even get to the bar!!! I would give 10 stars if I could!!!!

Drinks. Bar. Green. St Patrick's.

We love coming here on weekends and especially on St Patrick's day. There is great music, karaoke and of course the Jell-O shots are the bomb. Jessica and Bonnie are awesome and we love to spend time with them!!

Band groovin' on a Wednesday night!!

Diviest of dive bars! Stopped in on a Wednesday night because they had a live band-they were awesome and even played a request well! Looks like it's the spot to hit up if you came here on St.Patty's Day-they were definitely already decorated for the event in February! Our bartender was quick and funny.

I'd been desperate for pho, the simple but amazing Vietnamese soup whose broth takes almost a whole…read moreday, several pounds of beef and beef bones, and the chef's full freaking attention, if it's done right. Saigon Cafe on Waters Ave. closed, and that was the last place I knew in Savannah that served that exquisite, clear soup. I always get chicken soup (pho ga). The new owners are doing good work, but I'd been spoiled. The broth doesn't have the depth, and it isn't hot enough. It's gotta come smoking, fogging glasses, clearing sinuses. But Boomy's brings the broth. I've been there two or three times, and it's my new pho go-to. The noodles are wider than At Saigon Cafe, but that's fine; they hold their bite longer without getting mushy. Please note: Boomy's is a bar on Congress Street in Downtown Savannah. It's wheelchair accessible and laid back. A Dad out with his two young boys asked if one kid could use the bathroom and was welcomed ... no purchase, no hesitation. And a lady in a wheelchair with her companion and her dog ducked in for a soft drink and a rest. Everyone's welcome. Nothing about its façade or dive-bar vibe suggests it serves bangin' Vietnamese food. Waitstaff is quick to show you the burger menu on the back, in case pho isn't your jam. Because they serve Thai food as well, they're careful to have you choose your heat level. They're happy to give you pepper flakes on the side and Sriracha at the table. But my pho didn't need it. My lunch companion got the rare beef pho. The hot soup came with thin slices of beef wrapping in foil on the side. Drop it in and it cooks. Looked delicious. My pho ga was amazing. I rarely can eat it all, but I did that day. My only minor complaint is that the bean sprouts looked a little less than fresh, but I'm not a big fan of them in soup anyway. Didn't slow me up one bit. But I AM a big fan of their cucumber and tomato salad. Cukes, chopped tomatoes, grated carrots, and maybe grated radish were all dressed with fish sauce, maybe rice vinegar, and a little sugar. If I'd had some cilantro I would have added it; cilantro is expensive these days. Can't blame them for not including it. It may be available by request. Oh, and try the cocktails. I had the tequila cooler and subbed watermelon vodka for cucumber vodka. So refreshing. Go to Boomy's. Get there on one of the few remaining cool days of spring. Or if you come down with a spring cold. Or if you work downtown in an office meat locker, go to warm up from the inside out. It's worth the hunt for parking.

Thankfully, we eventually found this spot. The decor immediately caught our attention, very crazy decor, dark dingy, we love it. We grabbed a seat at a high-top table and settled in for a few drinks. Our waitress was fantastic and worked her butt off all night. Even as the crowd started to pick up later in the evening, she stayed attentive and kept things moving. We ordered a giant pretzel to snack on while we enjoyed our drinks. Nothing fancy, but exactly what we were looking for at the time. As the night went on, the atmosphere definitely became more lively and energetic. My only real complaint is that I wish they had live music. It would have added a lot more to it and given the place a little extra character. I'm not sure if they normally have entertainment on other nights, but it would be worth checking into for next time. Overall, this was a solid place to hangout at, enjoy a few drinks, and escape the downtown bar-hopping frustration. The service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and we'd happily stop in again.
