THE PIRATES' HOUSE
Since 1753 (you read that correctly), The Pirates' House has been pairing delicious food with rousing good times. Located on one of the most historic spots in Georgia, this establishment began as an inn for seafarers, and supposedly later became a spot for blood-thirsty pirates and sailors from the Seven Seas. Slow Cooked Baby Back Ribs, Low Country Santa Fe Pasta, and Award-Winning Honey Pecan Chicken are only some of the delicious options found here.
BILLY'S PLACE AT MCDONOUGH'S
Known as a friendly neighborhood bar, McDonough's is also the headquarters for the St. Patrick's Day Festival in Savannah each year. Grab some classic bar fare like Nachos, Chicken Wings, a French Dip, Supreme Pizza and more. The bravest of groups could grab the mic and sing some karaoke on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 9 p.m.
