Simply Magical - A Dream Wedding at The Mackey House!…read more There are truly no words to describe how incredible our daughter's wedding day was--but I'll absolutely try my best! The Mackey House is, without a doubt, the best wedding venue in Savannah. From the moment we drove down the breathtaking, tree-lined driveway, we knew this was the one. The grounds are absolutely stunning--the gardens, the fountains, the romantic ambiance--it all felt like a scene from a movie. What truly set The Mackey House apart, though, was the exceptional staff. Every interaction was warm, positive, and professional. They were always smiling, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. A huge shoutout to Dave, who served as both the officiant and DJ. His great sense of humor had so many of our guests asking, "Where did you find him?!" He made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and fun--truly unforgettable. And an enormous thank you to Andie from Emerald & Ivy Events. Her bubbly energy, calm presence, and constant support throughout the planning process--and especially on the big day--were invaluable. She guided us through every step with confidence and joy. Even a bit of rain in the forecast didn't shake this incredible team. Dave tracked the weather closely and made the call to proceed with an outdoor ceremony--and it was perfect. Andie calmly worked behind the scenes with the in-house and vendor teams to ensure we had a solid "Plan B" in case weather forced a change, but we didn't need it! Not a drop of rain fell during first-look photos or the vows, and the sun even peeked through the clouds as they said "I do." Pure magic. We loved how each part of the celebration had its own beautifully designed space: cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing--all thoughtfully laid out and seamlessly executed. The bridal suite and groomsmen's "man cave" were perfect for getting ready. And at the end of the night, the staff packed up all of our decor and belongings, making cleanup and departure a breeze. From start to finish, everything ran flawlessly. The Mackey House team made the entire day feel stress-free--for us, our daughter and son-in-law, and every guest. They treated everyone with such kindness, care, and love--it truly felt like they were part of our extended family. Thank you, Mackey House, for making our daughter's wedding dreams come true. It was the most magical day, and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and joyful it was!

Here's a note I just sent to Venue 1223 after attending a bridal shower at their venue today:…read more Hello Venue 1223 - I attended a shower at your venue today and it was beyond outstanding! I just had to let you know. The atmosphere at your venue was simple, but beautiful. Everything was set up and ready when we arrived. The food was super yummy and I went for two helpings! Not to mention two helpings of dessert as well! I was most impressed with the staff who waited on us. They were so very attentive, especially to the bride-to-be. I wish I had asked for their names as they were on-point during our whole event. Every drink was filled and refilled, the food station was carefully watched to keep it neat, and they even helped with carrying the gifts and picking up the wrapping paper. They made the bride-to-be feel like a queen! I walked out with a smile on my face to see such good service (oh, and I took a salted-caramel brownie for the ride home)! Well done Venue 1223! Any event I have, you'll be first on my list to host! Many thanks for the most enjoyable day!

My wife and I visited as part of a community Christmas party. This seems to be a nice party venue…read morepossibly best used for weddings, large parties and business events. The outdoor area was nicely lit for the holidays. They set up only 1 bar with 2 bartenders to handle over 60 people. They did a pretty good job keeping up. The credit card charges show Downtown Deli as the business owner and not Venue 1223 (probably owned by Downtown Deli). The food was pretty good. They had people serving Hors D'oeuvres which were a charcuterie in a cup, spring rolls, chicken, etc. The main course was either chicken, beef or specialty vegetarian dish which my wife ordered. It was basically a power bowl and looked pretty good with long strips of portabella mushrooms over salad with lots of quinoa and vegetables. My chicken was a bit dry and tough. The inside is a large open area for tables, a DJ and a dance floor. The staff was friendly and did a great job keeping food and people moving.

I couldn't have asked for a better Saturday evening in Savannah tonight. I've also been here for an R&B day party. Less dancing/crowd energy but elite song choices. Left a little early to get ahead of a potential line at the 201 Tapas food truck outside. Ordered the whiting and fries. Not amazing but not at all terrible. And the customer service was good. A great option after dancing, yelling, and drinking.

This review actually covers my experience on a Friday and Saturday night in April '26. And if I…read morewent twice, you know it must have been nice! We recently relocated to Savannah from Phoenix most recently, but have lived in several cities over the last 10 years including Charlotte and NW Arkansas. So needless to say, we are equally familiar with big city nightlife and small town kicking it. Savannah feels like it fits somewhere between those two. And 201 is a very good representation of the best of Savannah, and specifically Pooler. Now, from what I can gather, they are open Thursday through Saturday night, with Friday night serving as the Hip Hop night and Saturday catering to the Hispanic community (with a mix of traditional Mexican and Latin music - both traditional and contemporary styles). Thursday night featured midget wrestling (didn't go but heard about it) but I believe they rotate themes for Thursday night so you may want to check before you head out. The bar and nightclub is connected to a breakfast restaurant and located right down the street from Sam Sneads sports bar, Crosswinds golf course and the airport. They have ample parking but no valet, so plan accordingly. Also, one key thing to note. Even though tapas is in the name, they don't serve tapas or any food in the club. HOWEVER, they have a food truck that operates outside of the bar that serves traditional American and Mexican fare (think burgers, fries, wings, fish, shrimp, tacos and tortas) that you can take back inside and eat. And fortunately, the food is top notch with the wings, fish and shrimp platters and the tacos leading the list of recommended items that we tried (try the house hot sauce if you get the tacos - bomb dot com). The fried whiting and the onion rings were some of my favorites- they have their fryer game on point! The club itself is nicely appointed with a beautiful illuminated tree in the middle of the VIP section, a large stage, professional lighting and a pretty fantastic sound system. They also have multiple screens but I don't know if they show games or other programming during business hours as they displayed the promoters fliers during my visits. Service is also a highlight here. From the owners, a real cool husband and wife team that we actually met, to the bouncers and the bar staff, everyone was very approachable and service oriented. I like that there was ample security but it didn't affect the vibe. Matter of fact, a couple of the security staff joined the boots on the ground line dance, which is impressive in and of itself. The DJs for both nights was a bit of a mixed bag, as they employ a multiple DJ format, where two (Friday night) or three (Saturday night) DJs take turns on the ones and twos. Both nights featured DJs that were clearly experienced and a couple that were still working out their sets. However, I actually found that a bit refreshing because it produced a really diverse set list that ranged from young to old and new to classic. Those transitions just need a little more work. Saturday nights highlight was the skill of the dancers! There were some Jedi knight level dancers doing the merengue, salsa, Cumbias and a bunch of other secular Latin dances that I couldn't even begin to describe. Evidently they have Latin dance lessons on Monday and Wednesday nights at 7pm - and yep, I am definitely going. There must have been two men that were 75+ years of age (big emphasis on the plus) that absolutely put on a clinic all night which inspired me! Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at how good of a time we had and because it is so conveniently located, it is definitely going to be one of my go to places to dance and have a drink when I'm in the mood for a good night! And shout out to the ownership. I don't think I have seen a more hands on team in a long time and the level of service shows. They worked behind the bar and in the food truck so I ran into them multiple times and how many places can you say that about?

Where it fell short were in the small details. This is a wonderful pet friendly hotel, and I was thrilled to see all of the happy tails wagging, but sadly the doggie treat canister was empty the entire time of my 3 night stay. I pointed it out to the staff, but nothing was done... not even cleaning the crumbs out, or even simply removing the canister! Although the actual hotel is inviting, the rooms are bit outdated. The armoire knobs were replaced, and no one cared to paint or stain the raw wood that now showed. I also wondered why the bathroom only provided one towel hook on the bathroom door when it was a 2 queen bed room... and had no clue where to hand the wet pool towels! The outlet near my bed did not work, so had to charge my phone overnight in the bathroom area. Being deaf in one ear that made it difficult to hear my alarm. 2 things that annoyed me most were... 1. Many times no one was at the front door to hold the door open for struggling guests. I watched 3 different times people wrestle with their dogs, doggie bed, and luggage to get through the door by themselves. I understand someone can't be there all the time, but the installation of automatic doors should be considered. 2. Their front desk staff obviously have not been taught that 'The customer in front of you always comes first'. I stood politely and waited for the front desk person to finish their texting or email on their phone. She acknowledged me, began working on my issue, then answered the ringing desk phone, and instead of asking them to please hold a minute, she stopped helping me and dealt with their issue. I know it's a little thing, but I was annoyed. Anyway... like I said in the beginning, it was a nice hotel and overall enjoyable, but it was not the 'boutique' experience I expected for the price.

The corporate ownership of this hotel is awful…read more The room that I reserved was not available when I checked in and I had to share a bed with someone I did not want to share a bed with. The person at the front desk seemed understanding, but powerless to help. My reservation clearly showed that I reserved a room with two queen beds. One of the reservations made by my family was two separate two day reservations (four consecutive days but made as two separate reservations). We clarified that we had the same room for the whole four day stay when we checked in. At an impressively inconvenient time midday of the third day our key card stopped working. The front desk explained that corporate required us to recheck in to the room at that time and this process took longer than seems necessary in 2026 (when our stuff was already in the room and we had done the same thing two days prior). This is clearly a low functioning hotel management system that creates unnecessary and unpleasant steps for its staff and guests. The rooms are fine but a bit dated, generally showing some wear, there were multiple old USB outlets but zero modern USB outlets, service in the restaurant is incredibly slow and the food is very uneven. It's hard to mess up pizza as bad as one we got. One of our servers was completely untrained, although very polite and sincerely trying their best. Staff are friendly and our interactions with the front desk and folks cleaning rooms were very pleasant. The morning coffee and afternoon wine and snacks in the lobby was nice. There are nice seating options in the lobby and in the interior courtyard as well. The location is great with very short walks to the river or the beautiful old downtown area. There is a lovely small park adjacent to the hotel and we enjoyed sitting on benches in the shade of elegant old oaks. Old Savannah is a gem and a highlight of our trip. The gym is tiny and worthless. Generally speaking the Kimpton Brice is overpriced for what you get. The most disappointing aspect of my experience was that the location is great and the human beings working on the premises are also great, but the experience was degraded by the folks at IHG or whatever corporate scam is hurting this hotel.
