Savannah was made for girls night out.
The cobblestone streets. The Spanish moss. The rooftop bars and candlelit restaurants tucked into historic buildings that feel like they were designed specifically for a long dinner with your favorite people. There's nowhere quite like it — and if you live here or you're visiting, you already know.
Here's our guide to the best spots in Savannah for appetizers, drinks, and the kind of night that turns into a story you're still telling a year later.
The Appetizer Spots
Untitled.
This is giving cool-girl dinner energy. Tucked upstairs in downtown Savannah, Untitled. is a stylish, slightly hidden Japanese-inspired restaurant and cocktail lounge that feels like somewhere you'd find in a much bigger city. Think moody lighting, trendy interiors, sushi, cocktails, and shareable plates. It's perfect for getting dressed up, ordering a bunch of things for the table, and starting the night somewhere that feels a little different. Definitely one to put on the girls' night rotation.
What to order: Truffle fries and a few sushi or Japanese-inspired small plates to share.
Best for: A trendy girls' dinner before heading out for cocktails.
Vibe: Moody, modern, stylish, and a little exclusive.
Jazz'd Tapas Bar
When the group wants good food, cocktails, music, and a fun atmosphere, Jazz'd is a great choice. Located underground in the Historic District, this tapas bar has a lively, intimate feel with live entertainment and plenty of small plates to pass around. It's not a stuffy dinner spot — it's somewhere you can laugh, order another round, and let dinner turn into the main event. Perfect for a group that loves a little energy.
What to order: A selection of tapas for the table, especially their seafood and savory small plates.
Best for: Girls' night dinner, birthday celebrations, and groups who love sharing everything.
Vibe: Lively, fun, social, and a little sultry.
Zunzibar
If you're looking for something fun, casual, and full of personality, Zunzibar is worth adding to the list. It brings coastal-inspired food, bold flavors, cocktails, and a laid-back atmosphere to downtown Savannah. This is not the place for a super formal dinner — it's the place to grab a table with the girls, order a few appetizers, have a drink, and enjoy a fun night without making it feel like a whole production.
What to order: Their signature wings with different sauces for the table, plus a round of cocktails.
Best for: Casual girls' nights, pre-going-out bites, and an easy dinner with friends.
Vibe: Trendy casual, upbeat, and coastal.
The Drink Spots
Electric Moon Skytop Lounge + Moon Deck
This is THE girls' night rooftop stop if you're looking for somewhere with energy. Located in the Plant Riverside District, Electric Moon has skyline and river views, colorful lighting, cocktails, music, and even a slide connecting the rooftop spaces. It's playful, social, and definitely more of a party atmosphere than a quiet rooftop dinner. Come for sunset drinks, stay for the music, and get your pictures before the night gets going. This is where you want to be when the group isn't ready to call it a night.
What to drink: A signature cocktail or frozen specialty drink.
Best for: Girls' night out, birthdays, pre-dinner drinks, and dancing.
Vibe: High-energy rooftop, playful, trendy, and party-ready.
Peregrin Rooftop Lounge
For the girls who love a cute rooftop, a pretty cocktail, and a good photo moment, Peregrin is a must. Located on top of the Perry Lane Hotel, this rooftop has a chic, tropical atmosphere with beautiful city views, greenery, lounge seating, and a fun upscale feel. It's the kind of place where you want to show up looking cute, order something pretty, and spend an hour catching up before heading somewhere with a little more energy. Especially good around golden hour.
What to drink: Frosé or one of their signature craft cocktails.
Best for: Sunset drinks, birthday cocktails, and starting a girls' night somewhere pretty.
Vibe: Chic rooftop, tropical, upscale, and Instagram-worthy.
Alley Cat Lounge
Every girls' night needs a little hidden gem, and Alley Cat is exactly that. Tucked down an alley and below street level, this cocktail lounge has a moody speakeasy atmosphere with brick walls, cozy booths, and an extensive cocktail menu. It's a little mysterious, a little edgy, and a great change of pace from the typical rooftop bar. Order something you've never tried, catch up with the girls, and enjoy a spot that feels like a secret worth sharing.
What to drink: An espresso martini or ask the bartender to make something based on your favorite flavors.
Best for: Late-night cocktails, post-dinner drinks, and a more intimate girls' night stop.
Vibe: Moody speakeasy, cool-girl energy, and intimate.
The Full Girls Night Itinerary
Want the whole night mapped out? Here's the formula that works every time in Savannah:
6:30 PM — Start with drinks Begin at Peregrin Rooftop Lounge for the first round. Order the frosé and catch up before the night really starts. The rooftop views and golden hour light make it the perfect spot to settle in before dinner — and the photos will be worth it.
7:30 PM — Move to dinner and apps Head to Jazz'd Tapas Bar or Untitled. for appetizers and a proper sit-down moment. Order a spread for the table and let dinner turn into the main event. This is the part of the night where the conversation gets good.
9:00 PM — Late night drinks End the night at Alley Cat Lounge for a nightcap. Order the espresso martini or let the bartender surprise you. The speakeasy atmosphere makes it the perfect ending to a Savannah girls night — intimate, a little mysterious, and completely worth it.
The bonus stop: If the group isn't ready to call it, Electric Moon Skytop Lounge is the move. The energy, the views, and the slide make it the kind of stop that turns a good night into a great one.
The rule: Walk between spots when you can. Savannah's squares are the backdrop that makes the whole night feel like a movie — and the walk between dinner and drinks is half the experience.
What to Wear for a Savannah Girls Night
Savannah doesn't have one dress code — it has five. That's what makes it special. You can go from a moody Japanese cocktail lounge to a rooftop with river views to a speakeasy tucked down an alley, all in one night. The city holds all of it, and so does your outfit.
Here's what Wavy would wear for every stop.
The cool-girl dinner (Untitled.): This is the spot where you want to look like you have a vibe. A black mini dress, statement earrings, and a bold lip. Elevated without trying. The kind of outfit that photographs well in moody lighting — because it will.
The Wavy look: Midnight Crush Mini Dress, Black + Jolie Hoops, Gold + Weekender Anklet + bold lip
The underground tapas bar (Jazz'd): Lively, social, a little sultry. Wide-leg pants and a fitted top — something that moves with the energy of the room without being overdressed. You're here to eat, drink, and laugh. Dress for that.
The Wavy look: Sandbar Mixed Stripe Wide-Leg Pants + Tidal Ribbed Long Sleeve Bodysuit + heeled sandals + Jolie Hoops, Gold
The casual coastal spot (Zunzibar): Fun, laid-back, full of personality. Straight leg jeans, a knit tank, and booties. Cute without being overdressed for wings and cocktails with the girls.
The Wavy look: Risen High Rise Crop Straight Jeans + Seaside Charm Knit Tank, Cream + booties + layered necklaces
The rooftop moment (Electric Moon or Peregrin): You're going up. The views are the vibe. Wear something that stays put in the wind and photographs against a skyline. A fitted bodysuit or a knit tank tucked into wide-leg pants — something that looks intentional from every angle.
The Wavy look: Sandbar Mixed Stripe Wide-Leg Pants + Bare Minimum Seamless Crop Tank + heeled sandals + Jolie Hoops, Gold
The speakeasy nightcap (Alley Cat): Moody, intimate, cool-girl energy. This is the stop where the outfit does the talking. Lean into it — a black mini dress, a bold lip, and something that feels a little mysterious. You're in a brick-walled lounge below street level. Dress like you belong there.
The Wavy look: Midnight Crush Mini Dress, Black + block heels + Weekender Anklet + bold lip
The one rule for a Savannah girls night: Wear block heels or flats between stops. The cobblestones are beautiful. They are not stiletto-friendly. You've been warned. 🌊
