The Original Pinkie Masters — Restaurant in Savannah

By far the best, and most unexpected, place that we visited in Savannah. We were given the recommendation (by a local) to stop in here, because it was a local favorite. I would describe this place as a very unassuming, almost easy to just walk past hole in the wall. It boosts a very large Pabst blue ribbon beer sign hanging right above the door. But the bartender was fantastic, and made me what I will say is the best old-fashioned I have ever had anywhere in the states. Being that this is my “go to” beverage, I really did not have high expectations, but boy was I wrong. I had two drinks and enjoyed each one.

The vibe was awkward, unique, and almost like being “in” a movie. But WE LOVED IT. Seriously fun little place.

I sat in the famous “Jimmy Carter” chair, where there is a plaque commemorating his many visits. I must say we really enjoyed the bar. It’s weird. A little “time warp” back to the 70s or 80s.

But if you are looking for a quiet spot to have a 12oz $8.00 old fashioned then visit. Just keep it a secret so it’s still a...

I love this place. It's local as am I. The bartender was attentive and I was just one person sitting to myself and catching my buzz. I was in the corner and then a place opened at the bar and I moved. I finished my beer and put money out for another. The bar was busy on and off and I'm a patient person. The bartender acknowledged me and then and made drinks for others, that's cool. I waited and waited. So I felt I was not going to be served so I took my money back and left. I'm disappointed. I love this place and choose to give my business to them. I met the owner and he was friendly and kind so that's what makes me go back. I felt he was solid and honest and that's important to me. I'm local and I want to support local businesses of people I like. With that being said I'm not sure what happened today. I blame no one, as I've worked in the service industry over 35 years. I understand that there's a lot of moving parts. I'm sad that I was...

Mike the bartender made a fun experience a great experience. He was funny, friendly and very dry. My kind of humor. The people-watching here was on a legendary level and we had a blast speculating as to the private lives of the patrons. This is a cash only bar, but there is an ATM on site with a reasonable fee. The drinks are pretty no-frills, but we were there for a couple beers and a couple shots. We didn't need any "Rye Bourbon Manhattans with an Absinthe Wash" on this visit. We were there to scope out the locals and get a night-cap. It was perfect for that... oh, and we caught a celebrity there, too. We left her alone, because we aren't savages and it was apparent that she was trying to be low-key and incognito. We respect that, as did MOST of the patrons. This is that kind of bar. A local bar for locals... and anyone else that knows how to behave themselves in public. We will...
