Date Night Restaurants and Bars in Savannah
Savannah, Georgia — updated August 22, 2026
Six Savannah spots for an evening out, from a Habersham Street pub that runs to 10pm to a brewery taproom with board games, ranked by how well their hours and ratings hold up.
Listings verified
Savannah's late kitchens are not concentrated downtown. Several of the city's best-rated places for an evening out sit south of Forsyth Park along Habersham and Bull streets, where closing time is often 9 or 10pm rather than midnight. Plan accordingly: an early dinner here leaves room for a walk back through the squares.
1. Green Truck Neighborhood Pub
The strongest combination of evening hours and a settled rating on this list: 4.7 across more than 3,100 reviews, with the kitchen running 11:30am to 10pm Monday through Saturday. It is closed Sunday, which catches out visitors planning a weekend-ending dinner. Burgers are the anchor, including the Park Burger, the Rustico Burger and veggie patties, so it works for couples eating differently. A rating that high on that volume means the experience is consistent rather than lucky. Go early in the evening if you want a table without standing.
2. Service Brewing Co.
A taproom on Indian Street built for a low-pressure date: craft beer, board games and live music, at 4.8 from 670 reviews. Hours favor the weekend, with Friday and Saturday running noon to 10pm, Wednesday and Thursday 4 to 9pm, and Sunday 12:30 to 6pm. It is closed Monday and Tuesday. The beer list rotates, so check the current menu rather than arriving set on one pour. Best used as the second half of an evening, after dinner elsewhere.
3. Kava House
A bar on Bull Street holding a 4.9 rating across 293 reviews, which is a strong figure at a volume large enough to take seriously, if not yet as proven as the two above. The brief carries no hours or menu detail for it, so confirm the schedule before making it the centerpiece of a night. Its Bull Street address puts it within walking distance of the Starland stretch, which makes it easy to pair with dinner nearby and keeps the evening on foot.
4. Al Salaam Deli
A Habersham Street restaurant rated 4.7 across more than 1,100 reviews, a count high enough that the score reflects years of regulars rather than a good month. Beyond the rating and the address, the brief offers no hours or menu specifics, so call ahead if you are counting on a late seating. Worth considering for a first date where a modest, unfussy room takes the pressure off, and it sits close enough to Green Truck that a change of plan costs you a short walk.
5. Urban Deli
Habersham Street counter service with the highest review volume of any 4.9 on this list, more than 1,600 reviews, which is unusual for a place this casual. Hours run 9am to 8pm Monday through Thursday, to 9pm Friday and Saturday, and to 7pm Sunday, so it suits an early dinner rather than a late one. The menu covers sandwiches, salads, soups and pastries made daily, plus coffee, latte and chai. The sandwich and salad combo is listed at $18, the Greek salad at $7.50.
6. SlowFireBBQ
Included with a caveat: the 4.9 rating rests on 47 reviews, promising but not yet settled. Hours are limited to Thursday through Saturday, 11am to 7pm, closed Sunday through Wednesday, so this is an early dinner or nothing. The operation also runs pop-ups, with a schedule posted on its site, meaning the Waters Avenue address is not always where the smoker is. Specials have included brisket, brisket cheesesteaks, dino beef ribs and smoked oxtails. Check the pop-up schedule the day you go.
