One of the best parts of traveling is trying new things. And the best of these things is often trying new and local beers and spirits (for those of us 21 and older). When you visit be sure to check out our growing brew scene, Savannah’s first distillery since the 1920s, and Savannah’s first mead bar inspired by Savannah’s bees. Get to know them below before you come. Then when you’re ready, book your stay with us!
After you get to know our other Spirits, you may also want to get to know Savannah’s Open Container Policy.
Please note that the hours and opportunities listed below are subject to change and may have specific or different health and safety policies.
Please contact the locations before visiting to confirm, before visiting.
Start with Spirits
Mead enthusiasts and the curious may sample mead or purchase bottles of mead to enjoy at home at Savannah’s first mead tasting bar. At the Savannah Mead Bar, there are several meads to sample, from still to sparkling, semi-sweet to sweet.
What is mead, aside from delicious? Honey wine: Wine, created the same way as grape wine but with honey not grapes.
Mead tastings are available seven days a week from 10am to 6pm. No reservation is required.
Located in the Historic District, Ghost Coast Distillery is Savannah’s first distillery since Prohibition. They started with Vodka and now offer a variety of flavors of Whiskey, Rum, Bourbon, and Liqueurs.
Tours of the distillery are available every hour on the hour, Tuesday thru Saturday. Tours include an immersive film on the history of spirits and revelry in Savannah, followed by a guided tour of our production and aging areas, and a tasting and cocktail demonstration in our tasting room.

Two Tides Brewing Company loves beer. They also love sharing it with friends, and the power it has to unite people. They “specialize” in sour, haze and funk, but dabble in everything from crispi™ lagers to the darkest barrel-aged pastry stouts.
If it’s hot any Friday-Sunday, come enjoy a beer slushie – different flavors each weekend, or if it’s super cold out get in on their Hot Stuff, an imperial sour with seasonal fruit and spices. Similar to mulled wine and crazy delicious. Come hang!
