A Different Side of Savannah Awaits Below.
There was a time when getting a drink required more than choosing a bar. You needed to know the right person. Find the right door. And keep your voice down. When Prohibition arrived in 1920, America officially stopped drinking. Unofficially? The party simply moved behind closed doors.
Speakeasies appeared behind unmarked doors, inside basements and anywhere a trusted whisper could lead you. Cocktails flowed. Music played. Rules became suggestions. Nearly a century later, that rebellious spirit lives on at The Bootlegger Speakeasy in Savannah, Georgia.
Hidden along historic River Street in downtown Savannah, The Bootlegger brings together handcrafted cocktails, Southern-inspired bites, live entertainment and the moody atmosphere of a Prohibition-era hideaway. But this is Savannah. And around here, history rarely stays buried.
River Street has seen generations of merchants, sailors, travelers, smugglers and characters move through its cobblestone streets and historic buildings. Some left stories behind. Others, depending on whom you ask, may have left a little more.
At The Bootlegger Speakeasy, Savannah history, mystery and nightlife meet behind closed doors.
Come for the cocktails. Stay for the stories. And whatever happens down here? Maybe keep it between us.
