One of my favorite roof top bars! Great views of the river and $3 rose! Ordered food for a quick bite the spinach dip and feta pasta were amazing. Our server McKenzie was really tentative, gave us good recommendations and served us quickly. Most of the staff members were warm and welcoming and even joked when I was left to finish my drink outside of the restaurant. Overall this rooftop bar has great menu options that is suitable for all.
Day drinking in Savannah offers lots of options, we met up with a few friends during our trip over from Hilton Head Island for an afternoon of cocktails and good conversation. After a mediocre lunch down by the river we decided to find a venue with a great view so we landed here. The interior bar was mostly empty and the rooftop deck had a few patrons drinking local brews which is pretty abundant here in the "Hostess City of the South". We opted to sit outside at a partially shaded high-top table facing the river, fortunately there were a few fans pointed our way to cut through the humidity. This is a beautiful bar and the service today was exceptional which may be attributed to the number of people here but none the less this was my experience others seem to feel differently. There are lots of choices here whether you're a beer drinker, a whiskey aficionado or a wine connoisseur - I chose a can beer brewed by the local Service Brewery named Señor Delicisos, it was ice cold and served with a lime wedge, it's a play on the Mexican lager beer industry and a delicious rendition I must say. I was hoping this perch would provide an exceptional view of any giant container ships that may be entering or exiting the harbor, unfortunately there was only one older smaller vessels that was less than impressive but it still offered something to look at through our beer goggles. This open air rooftop bar is very clean and organized with great furnishings inside and out, our server Kenzie was on top of things and checked in often without being a distraction. This is definitely a spot I recommend trying out if you're in town or a resident...
After walking around in the hot Savannah heat we stumbled across Top Deck Bar. We decided to eat an drink indoors instead of their massive patio. Service 5 stars. Our waitress had a lot of tables, but didn't seem to handle going all over the restaurant. Food: 3 stars. I would say for a bite to eat or appetizers it was good. We pretty much ordered all the appetizers and crab cake sliders. Ambiance : 4 stars. it would be a great place to have a sunset bite or drink to watch the sunset.
Wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. We ended up here after learning that our first choice of rooftop bar was closed for a private party (annoying) as this had happened to us a couple times lately with rooftop bars. Anyway, most of the bad reviews were based on bad service, but we had a great server! Ask for Kenzie, she was very attentive and quick! Had a great view of the river and bridge and the drinks were pretty good. I knocked off one star just for the lack of outdoor ambiance and the plastic cups they use.
Food was just alright, it's not worth it for the price taste wise, quantity you get your bang for your buck but nothing stood out to me that was jaw dropping good. Service was alright the employees could tell we were not from Savannah so they helped where they could, they did seem a little annoyed but I'm not sure at what and I'm also dramatic maybe we were be annoying It looked like a fun bar for sports games though just not a girls bachelorette trip the locals sitting next to us talked to our party more than the employees
Everything here needs improvement asap! It took over 30 minutes to get our charcuterie board as well as the correct drink that I ordered as soon as we were seated. We were told no substitutions "bc the volume of customers was too high". So I ordered what I originally wanted and told the waitress I would take the item i didn't want off myself. And like magic our food came out quickly and without the topping I didn't want. But I'm guessing the reason it was so quick was because instead of getting crab cakes I received crab patties that taste like they came out of a can. It takes forever to get anything here.
Stayed at the Cotton Sail while in Savannah and after a post dinner walk up and down the river - we decided to have one at the rooftop deck bar. They had obviously had a crowded night - bc the place was a wreck. Ordered a couple drinks and sat out on the ledge. This would be a cool spot to go and hang out in the fall - but summer time at peak heat could be uncomfortable.
I'm giving my 5-star review as someone who went to Top Deck just for drinks and the sunset view. My husband and I took the elevator up to Top Deck rooftop bar knowing that there were a lot of people and we may not get seats (you can see it from the street). We got pretty lucky when we walked outside to the roofdeck, as a guy came up to us and asked us if we wanted their seats since they were leaving, and they had the two corner seats that faced the street/bridge! I had a spicy pineapple margarita, and my husband had a beer. My drink was fantastic, not overly sweet, definitely had a kick to it, I found a jalapeño seed and everything. I can say it's one of the best margs I've had in a while. This place is highly recommended for the drink+sunset experience in River Street!
As soon as we checked into our hotel we made our way, on foot, to the waterfront area and found Top Deck Bar. The afternoon was warm and sunny and we found a cute spot in the shade, facing the water. It was such an inviting place to take in the view and have a drink, while we sorted out our itinerary for Savannah. We were never pressured to hurry up and order or to hurry up and finish so they could turn over our table. It was truly a wonderful experience with a great view. We ordered a beer and a Strawberry Schooner cocktail and later on shared a pasta appetizer. The cocktail was well balanced, not watered down or overly sweet. The pasta dish was definitely freshly made and was satisfying for a quick bite for a mid afternoon snack. Jessica, our server, was attentive but not intrusive which topped off our satisfaction with Top Deck Bar. We could have sat for hours, but wanted to get out and about exploring Savannah. Be sure to add Top Deck Bar to your stop while in the area. read more
I didnt really get to experience all this restaurant has to offer except for the view. I didn't try any mixed drinks or the food. However it's a really nice view of the river and on a clear day it will probably be even better. read more
Top Deck was our last stop for the night and it was the best stop! We had a group of people with us and the drinks were flowing! I had a couple of beers but my friend got the Top Deck Mojiot which was so sweet but in the best way! We also tried the watermelon Margarita which is perfect for the summer! It was so refreshing and perfect for the hot summer night. The views were amazing and the staff was so friendly They refilled our water glasses every time and made sure everyone had a safe ride. read more

As a beer drinker I was no impressed with the selection. I was impressed with the view and the staff. Very nice staff, friendly and prompt. If you like mixed drinks this would be a great spot to try. read more
You will not find a better rooftop view for sunset, period. The drinks are great here, and the crab cakes here are incredible, but the view is the river, the bridge, and the sunset is unmatched. If you're in town, you can't miss going here. read more

TRIGGER WARNING I mean freaking seriously. It's either the hotel's fault or the bar's fault. Come one, man. Or both. Ladies bathroom. Worst part, the darn bar smelled like 2006; a dark, dingy college house party. Yuck. Really might've been the lowest part of our whole vacation. Plus, the one cranberry vodka I got was not even good. Bad cranberry juice? No clue but bleh. Hey they did ask for vodka preference and also had Kettle One in stock. No lime in the drink? read more

We were looking for somewhere with yummy appetizers for an early dinner and this was perfect. We got the charcuterie board, the Brussels, and the spinach artichoke dip and everything was phenomenal!! Very quick service and good views as well. read more

I tried out Top Deck in the evening for a meal. You have to travel up for the 6th floor in the elevator of the hotel to get there. Originally I sat myself outside as the sign said at the unoccupied host stand. However, after sitting outside for 15 minutes and not having a server come up to me I went to the bar. The service at the bar was great, the bartenders were friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my time at the bar. But the food was sub bar. I did not enjoy the Brussels sprouts. They were slightly undercooked, the stem is supposed to be tender. These were tough and inedible. Not what I was looking for in an appetizer. The tacos were good, just not sensational. Could use more flavor in the chicken, to enhance the dish and take it a step further. Cool atmosphere and decent prices but in terms of food quality I think a 3/5 is generous. read more
Had a fun afternoon at top deck. The mojitos were delicious. The server was great but the service itself was pretty slow. Pretzel was just okay I prefer it chewier and it was more crunchy - but for a beautiful ambiance and great value for food and cocktails this is a solid spot. Staff were working hard but it would have been helpful if they had one more waitress on duty so our gal didn't have to run in circles around the place. Overall though we very much enjoyed our visit as we were not in a rush! read more
Very cool spot!!! I think no one else really knows about it based off the reviews, but this place was perfect! Great views and food. They have $3 rose all day. The dip was very very creamy...as in I think they used way too much cream cheese and should've given more veggies instead. But that's just me. The bread served with was delicious. Brussel sprouts were good, but I wish they had cut more off the ends. Some had weird sticks at the bottom that should've been cut off (you can see in the picture). Next time we visit Savannah, we will come here. read more

Went here yesterday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see they had a value menu, with a variety of sliders only $12 each. I got the pulled pork and was surprised again, they were not tiny. Also they were delicious! The chef put a few different touches that I never would have dreamed up, but worked! Also the plate had two fancy olives and stone ground mustard, plus the carolina gold bbq sauce was in the side. I got the Top Deck mojito, very refreshing and tasty and fancy. I love a fancy cocktail! read more
Great view but as far as food, we were not impressed. The menu choices are limited. The sandwiches come with nothing. It felt like they were better fit for an airline mini meal (on economy). Also, a big turn off was having to hear one of the staff members (a blue-haired young lady) drop a few F bombs while talking out like with her long-haired male co-worker. She was loud and when I made eye contact with her, she was unfazed and just said, "Hello".. I don't think we will be back.. too bad on our brief visit to Savannah, this was the place we picked.. read more
This review is for drinks only. We didn't get food. We got the Caribbean Cruise ($13) and Scattered Sun Belgian Wit ($6). The cocktail was fine. The beer was good. We sat outside. The view was nice at sunset. Our waiter was wearing his mask as a chinstrap. They didn't require customers to wear masks. Saw another waitress cleaning silverware with her mask down too. They're not taking Covid seriously at all and I would not go back. read more
What a fun place to visit! It's a little confusing to actually get up to the rooftop but once you are up there the views are incredible! We only stopped in for one drink as we needed to beat the heat but can see how this would be a fun place for some day drinking. I'm taking off a star for a few different reasons: one, the service wasn't the best and two, inside smelled, interesting. While it didn't impact us too much as we were outside, when you came in to go to the bathroom it was very unpleasant. Almost smelled like stale beer? It wasn't great but once outside it was much better. Good for one, probably not more than that. read more

I liked the views from this place! Located right next to The Nest at the top of the hotel (there are signs in the lobby). Great views of the river and good drinks! They have $3 Rosé on the weekends! I got the classic mojito and it was perfect for a hot, August Savannah afternoon. read more
