Lively atmosphere and amazing drink menu! Our server was friendly, food was spot on, and we left feeling like our Savannah vacation had officially been kicked off on the right note!! read more

Old Savannah Distillery is a great place to eat and visit. We enjoyed it so much and Destiny was awesome. We will definitely be back again.

First and most important, parking directly at the building is $15. Great if you're also doing the Hop on/off Trolley. Otherwise, park across the street at the public lot. Check in for the class was right when you walk in at the register. They call up to make sure they're ready for your to go up. Then they walk you up and introduce you to your instructor. It's a perfect setting for whiskey drinks. A little dark and moody. Our instructor was Rashee. He was EXCELLENT! He even taught my husband a few things he didn't know. He made the 1st drink while explaining the ingredients and the "tools" needed to make it properly. He answered questions that we had as well. It was made with their Peach Whiskey. I'm not a whiskey person by any means (the class was a side quest for my husband) and I liked the whiskey by itself AND in the drink. The second drink we made while following his direction. It was made with their Brambleberry Whiskey. OH MY! That was S T R O N G. Definitely not for me LOL. However, the drink it was used to make was fantastic!!!! Finished the class with some history about Savannah, how the building came about and a lil ghost story! 12/10 recommend the craft class!! Went into their store where they sell their whiskey, vodka and mixers. Jasmine was super helpful. We were undecided on the 3rd bottle. It was buy 2 get the 3rd free, have to use a deal when it's a good one! She asked what flavors he likes. Since he was still undecided, she sent him to the bar to buy a shot of the pecan flavor. He thought it would be too sweet. It wasn't. It was exactly how she described it. A smoky flavor! Our 3 choices were the peach whiske, sweet tea vodka and the smoke pecan Whiskey. read more

The vibe of this place is hopping! Super cool, steam punk artful interior. The atmosphere gives this place super potential! The food was just ok, edible. I ordered their signature WHISKEY BURGER which comes with a whiskey jam on the burger. Patty reminded me of a frozen patty from grocery store. Ingredients and bun were not overly flavorful. The beer selection limited, but great prices! I recommend their HOUSE LAGER ON DRAFT at its affordable price point (or two). Ironically the liquors were not featured, which was a big disappointment for a place called a distillery. Menu didn't include spirits. I asked waitress about what bourbons they have and she had to go check and came back to list off a few national brands such as Buffalo Trace. I asked if they they had any of their own, and she said, oh yeah! Then she listed a few such as Mint Julip, and Pecan. I was confused and asked if those were cocktails or whiskeys. She wasn't sure and had to go check...wait, what? I finally figured they only offer flavored whiskeys of their own making. Weird for a distillery. They offer tasting and pairing experiences. I am not convinced they are knowledgeable after this one experience. I will likely not go back any time soon. I feel they are close to something successful and management could find a win by improving food quality and training the staff. read more

We arrived a few minutes early for our 7:30 reservation on a Thursday night and we were promptly informed that it might be an ADDITIONAL 30 minute wait AFTER our reservation time before we were sat because they had "no clean tables". They asked us to sit at a table by the entrance to wait. We did. From where we sat, I could see at least 5 to 6 tables that were unbussed. The place did not even seem busy. I watched as assorted staff slowly and halfheartedly cleared tables, or in some cases didn't even seem to bother. The only visible manager was working the window expediting food. Five minutes after our assigned time there finally was another manager who came out to help clear a table. Still, there was no sense of urgency, no sense of any desire to have our business. I had really been looking forward to this dinner since learned about the restaurant last September and seen their menu once they opened. TO top it all off, the bar area was unattended so my wife and I could not even get a drink, had we wanted (Hint: WE DID. IT'S A DISTILLERY). We decided we're going to give them ten minutes after our reservation before walking out. At 7:40 I had had enough and we left. I had planned to buy a couple of bottles of their spirits, but that's not happening now. I am so disappointed. Walking around the building to go find another restaurant I could see at least eight empty booths and more than a dozen empty tables, half of them uncleared. This restaurant won't last six months like this. read more

This restaurant is new--like in the last couple of weeks. It is beautifully decorated with all things distilled. The business offers cocktail-making classes and tastings as well. They are adding pairings classes also. Our service was ok. We did have a large group of 8 people and I would say the speed and attentiveness was average. Our server, Deasia, eh... I'm thinking she was having a bad day, and that is the only reason for my 4-star vs. 5-star rating. It was a late lunch for us, and most of us had sandwiches. My husband had a beautiful bowl of chicken noodle soup. We were happy with the amount and quality of our food. read more

Cornbread. Do not miss that hot piece of cast-iron baked lusciousness with honey butter! The whiskey bacon burger was tasty and my hubby loved the juicy Southern fried chicken!! Fun ambiance too in a historical building. The done-right food and location are so popular that before concerts they can run out of favorites (we snagged the last cornbread and the country fried steak and French dip were g-o-n-e so get there early if going to the Johnny Mercer theater!). Fun gift shop and lots of wines, wine tastings and spirits for those who desire! read more

This was a big surprise for us since we came here as part of the trolly tour. We thought we would be handed one tiny little taste but this was legit! You get three tastings and each is set up at a cool little station inside the bar area. They tell you about each taste and you get to pick if you want your taste to be as is, mixed in a cocktail, or virgin. Each taste was so good that we ended up staying here for a while and ordering drinks from the bar. The bartenders are all wonderful and there is a gift store and bottle shop. read more

Old Savannah Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I happened to visit the Old Savannah Distillery during the first week that it was open. What a gorgeous place with all of the stained glass windows, beautiful bars, and even a cute little stage. Keep in mind that there are two entrances -- one door for the bottle sales and one door for the gift shop + bar & restaurant. Highly recommend the tasting experience to try 3 liquors! read more

A great place to pop in for a beer after the railroad museum! Callie was great and we really appreciated her recommendations!

Had 6pm reservations through Opentable...showed up right on time & was told there would be a 30 min wait. I asked how could that be and was told there were a lot of other reservations and they had quite a few walk-ins. There were plenty of open tables in the dining area, so I can only guess they didn't have sufficient staffing. We had tickets to a show, so we couldn't wait the time. Very disappointing. read more

Huge disappointment, especially since the reviews prior to my visit were really good. We had a party of 7 on a Friday night, and surprisingly the restaurant wasn't busy at all. However the rest of our meal was a big disappointment. We were first notified that they were out of all of the appetizers except for the cornbread and the pimento cheese. It took 30+ minutes, and repeated requests, for me to receive a glass of wine. Then we ordered our dinner, but later our server returned to our table to let us know that they were out of more menu items that we'd just ordered. They were out of fruit, so the child in my party couldn't get his fruit cup, the soup that another of my guests ordered was also not available. We received our food in a reasonable amount of time, and the quality/taste was just ok. I was really disappointed and would not recommend. read more

The restaurant and tasting were great. Riley did an excellent job especially since it was only open a week. The tastings were excellent as well. Highly recommend. read more

It is located at one of the Trolly Stops so plenty of foot traffic. Our trolly driver informed us the restaurant would be opening soon so this doesn't include that review. The inside is amazing. Very nice design. The staff is very helpful. As for the product. Not for me. It's very much flavored whiskey. My biggest complain is sadly the layout of the bottle shop. You can't enter from the bar. You have to exit and reenter. It might be a permit and license thing but I enjoy tasting and walking around the bottle shop at the same time. Curious to see what happens once the restaurant opens. read more

Food, drink, ambiance, and service is excellent. Last evening 4 of us had the Turkey ham club with fries, cheeseburger with salad, corn bread and drinks. It was so good we went back this evening, did the free tastings that came with the Hop On/off tour, and stayed for dinner. Again excellent, couple issues with things not being available, but manager took great care of us. Truly awesome service. Easily recommend this place for a nice night out. read more

Great selection of flavored whiskey, vodka at a great price. Recommend the tasting tour. The service was excellent and helpful.

Asia messed up order. Asked us 3 times if couples were separate ck. We told her 3 times. Patty melt overcooked and burned one side of bread. French fries cold. Fried green tomatoes were frozen - sadly. Not fresh read more

Staff did not change gloves after touching kitchen door then touched our food. When we asked for new fries restaurant manager was really help. Bar manager was rude and nasty. I don't know but "service" people should be able to talk to someone with civility. None from the guy in the beard. So many other excellent places to eat in Savannah. Don't go to this one. read more

We did the cocktail making class today. Tristan was very knowledgeable and a fun host! Not being mixed drink makers, we really learned a lot. Highly recommend! read more
