Do you need to check out the most classic and most divey of dive bars in any hood? You must go to Doc's. A dive classic. Lots of patrons playing bumper pool. Excellent woman bartender. She asked four young adults for IDs. One woman didn't have and the bartender said no service. Young woman started screaming and cursing. We thought there might be a fist of cuffs. Young woman's main insult to the bartender: "You're an old Grandma." Sigh. And they left. And all the patrons went back to their games and convos and shots. Cheers! read more

Something about this place I love. Although my spicy chicken sandwich was average - the fries were excellent. Super crispy - overall the food did its job. The divey vibes were splendid - super approachable bar right on the main strip. Bottles only - nothing on draft read more

Bama is the best bartender!!! Food smells amazing and alcohol is top tier Best Bach trip ever read more

This was one of the best stops of our week on Tybee. Not trendy, no fancy cocktails, just a real down home bar with two dart boards (and darts), bumperpool table, outstanding juke box and occasional live music Bama, our bartender, was aces .... tho I don't think he truly appreciates condiments like salt n pepa. LOL read more

Had such a great time spending the afternoon at Doc's Bar! BAMA - our bartender - was outstanding! Great guy, had us laughing all afternoon. We will most definitely be back! read more

Got a double jack and coke here before the ghost tour, it was super strong. Quick solid bang for the buck if you are just stopping by!

It's just a bar. If you want to go to a bar that's just a bar. Go to Doc's. You will enjoy it. We had a bar tender named Bamma. He was great. But, no tap. read more

Doc's Bar - Nick the bumper pool champion. - Bars Near Me - Tybee Island, Georgia

Doc's Bar was the highlight of my night in Tybee Island. Doc's is the oldest bar on the island established in 1948. It is absolutely a dive, but the bar was clean and the service was great! What I loved the most about Doc's were the jello shots. I saw a sign outside advertising $2, jello shots and that's what brought me through the front door. Some regulars quickly started chatting with me and made me feel right at home. One regular told me there was a good band playing that night and that I should come back and check it out. My niece and I visited several other bars near the beach that night, but we came back to Doc's several times for more jello shots LOL. And the regular was right, the band was awesome! Back to the jello shots. My niece and I quickly realized jello shots are a thing in Tybee Island. All of the local bars sell jello shots. We tried them in one other bar as they were giving everyone a free one when you came in the door. But no one could top Doc's! My favorites were the pineapple and lime! You must try them! Doc's does not sell food but they will give you some trail mix if you ask. And the regulars told me you can bring food in and eat it as they don't mind. read more

Nite life is great!! Fun place, day time not so much!! Bar tender is very gruff steer clear

Typical friendly dive bar, good drinks fast service. Their drink price did go up Labor Day weekend evening... maybe it was happy hour when we were in earlier. read more

Just do it...great burger, fun staff....enjoy Glad we went in ...beer very cold!! Burgers were huge read more

Fun little spot. Bartender named Bama was great. Close to the beach. 2$ Jell-O shots which aren't our thing but lots of people seemed to enjoy read more

Small venue which is one reason that this place is great. Easy to make new friends here! And to catch up with old friends. The bartenders are great... the rush was great after the Tybee St Patick's day parade, but the bartends kept the drinks and the tabs flowing. I've never seen such great organization at a bar muchless a small bar with masses of people. Mike the bartender even took a half minute to stop and say hello to me. Some patrons did give them attitude demanding their drinks or bills but they continueed to keep great attitudes and serve up the liquor and hand out the checks. Also, they have a back deck and they have had a float in almost every parade that I've been to see on Tybee. Yay Doc's Bar! read more

Best dive bar on Tybee. Jennifer is everything! She is so personable and a hard worker! Love this place! Wine is poured high and beer is served ice cold! Thanks Jennifer!! read more

Nice bar very mismanaged. St Patrick Day weekend. 1 bartender. Bless her heart but it's way faster to go across the street and get drinks than to stand in the line here. read more

Nice "hole in the wall." Amazing bartenders. We loved the live music and the chill atmosphere!

Doc's is the oldest bar on Tybee Island. They just celebrated their 60th anniversary in fact. It's a dive bar by every meaning of the term. The drinks were cheap, the locals were friendly. One guy bought the whole bar a round of shots (granted there were only about 7 people there at that point, but still). Want to take your drink to go?? Just ask for a plastic cup, and they'll send you on your way. Who knew it's legal to drink on the streets?? Just don't drink in your car from what I hear. That's a no no. Again, I think a place where you find the locals of the town is definitely a place to check out. read more

Doc's Bar is always a good time. It's a small bar that can get really packed out at times. I enjoy grabbing a few drinks here during the afternoon and listening to stories some of the old guys tell. Service has always been excellent and friendly here. read more

Awesome dive bar & the oldest bar on the island being established in 1948. Our bartender Nick was on point. Very friendly & attentive. Cold beer. read more

Love this place! But the smoke is hard to take. Before smoking was outlawed in the rest of Savannah bars, I used to spend a lot of time here. Recently I went there and left quickly because people were smoking cigars. read more

We came over from Savannah for dinner and stumbled across Doc's after we ate (they do not serve food). It's everything a dive bar should be. Bartenders were on point, as soon as a drink was empty you have another in your hand. Drinks were good and cheap. They had a good band playing, and the regulars were dancing and having a great time. We will come back again. read more

Walked in to Doc's bar. Five of us ladies. Must've been about six people in the bar. Sat down at a table. No response, no hello, no nothing. As we sat there wondering if we should go to the bar the bartender did not offer any acknowledgment that we were there. We were only about 12 feet from the bar. Sat for about five minutes with no acknowledgement and left. Will never go back again. Lost at least $50 for 30 minutes. read more

After hanging out at Nickie's 1971 and listening to pop/country Karaoke, we wanted a change and headed over to Docs. It was pretty dead but we didn't care. Just wanted some stiff drinks and good conversation with each other. But who knew we would end up chatting with Willie Wonka, his 'sparse-tooth' girlfriend and her cousin....a young Anthony Michael Hall who claimed he was just released from prison. Very interesting to say the least! Want some strong drinks, dive bar atmosphere and colorful conversation, head to Doc's. read more

My group stopped in here on a weekday afternoon after walking around the beach all day. It was fairly empty at that hour but our bartender Anna (hope I spelled that right) chatted with us and gave us some fantastic recommendations for the rest of our stay in the Savannah area. We ended up hanging out for a while and having jell-o shots. If you like dive bars, this is your spot. read more

Where do I begin? Cheap drinks, loud music and a place where everyone knows your name. This place owns stock in red cups and thankfully Tybee doesn't mind if you carry a cup of happiness out the door as you go. When I go home I am often in here trying one of the many beers on tap, talking smack about my awesome pool game (no, not really) and placing bets on Georgia football. Thank you for being my version of Cheers, Docs. Bonus: the bartenders will hold your hair. Just don't tell them I said so!! read more

Been here twice. The most missable negative bartenders I've ever encountered. Will never come back.

Super divey and fun! Our server was friendly and wonderful and her food recommendation was spot on; good bar food.

I'll give this place 5 stars just because I love this kind of bar. Nice people, cheap booze and bumper pool! Hung out here in the off season and t'was very pleasant. Definitely coming back. read more

10/10 recommend Anna and her rum punch recipe! She was absolutely amazing- welcoming, attentive, conversational. She's an asset for sure!

First time here and it's perfect. Divey, beachy, dark, breezy, local, smokey, friendly bar staff and a great pour. Wish I was staying closer because this would be my "go to" place for sure!! read more

Been spending February on beautiful Tybee Island for 4 years. One of the best parts of our month is the Tuesday night jam at Doc's bar. Locals and visitors pull up a bar stool, order a beer and bust out beautiful music. Can't play? No problem. Just sing along. Prices are good. Bartender, Mike is easy going and fun. A great time! read more

We love Doc's and can't wait to return to Tybee. The staff and customers are a lot of fun. We were there for open mic music in the back room and also for Karaoke. A great time was had by all! read more

Nice bar, nice drinks, nice band, people dancing, smoking still allowed - which although i'm not a smoker i appreciated the ashtrays on the bar and the atmosphere created by a smoky conversation- It was a nice walk back to our cottage read more

Ok I have to tell you some really good stories about this place. No, wait....I could be killed. Just go. Once you walk in (if your a Yankee or a city dweller) you might be tempted to walk out.BUT DON'T! First there is a chance you will meet the lovely Ms. Stone. Then there are Tybee folk most of whom you will fall in love with. So order a drink (PBR in the can) so you'll fit in. read more

Dancing is fun, owners are sweet, air is smoky, funky and fun. A beach classic!
