# Savannah Guys Weekend: To-Go Cups, Ghost Tours, and Southern Hospitality Done Right *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated February 2026* Savannah, Georgia packs Southern charm, open-container laws, walkable nightlife, and world-class golf into a compact downtown that works for everything from a bachelor party to a low-key boys trip. Think of it as a smaller, more manageable New Orleans - with better weather, cheaper hotels, and less recovery time. ** Questions** ** No answer selected. Please try again.

The Historic District runs about a square mile, most of the best bars and restaurants sit within walking distance of each other, and the city's open-container policy means you can grab a 16-ounce to-go cup from any bar and take it with you as you move between spots. That alone changes the dynamic of a night out. No rushing drinks, no closing tabs - just grab a cup and keep moving. ## Open Containers, Walkable Bars, and No Last Call Panic Savannah flies under the radar compared to Nashville or Austin, but for Georgia [guys trips](https://www.mantripping.com/guys-trip.html), it checks every box without the crowds or inflated prices. A downtown hotel puts you within walking distance of River Street, the historic squares, and enough restaurants and bars to fill a long weekend without repeating a spot. The open-container zone covers the entire Historic District - roughly River Street south to Jones Street, MLK Boulevard east to Broad Street. Bars sell to-go drinks in plastic cups, and you'll see locals and visitors alike walking the squares with a cold one. It's one of the few cities in America where bar-hopping happens on the sidewalks as much as inside the bars.

Direct flights into Savannah/Hilton Head International (SAV) are available from most major hubs, and the airport is about 20 minutes from downtown. If you're driving, Savannah is roughly four hours from Atlanta, two hours from Jacksonville, and two hours from Charleston - making it an easy road trip from anywhere in the Southeast. ## How to Fill a Long Weekend in Savannah Savannah keeps the agenda flexible - morning golf, afternoon food crawls, evening ghost tours, and late-night bar-hopping all fit inside the same walkable footprint. ### Lowcountry Links Within 20 Minutes of Downtown --- {"html":""} --- Savannah's coastal lowcountry setting makes for excellent golf year-round. [The Club at Savannah Harbor](https://www.theclubatsavannahharbor.com) sits on Hutchinson Island with views of the Savannah River and downtown skyline - it's the most scenic round you'll find near the city. [Bacon Park](https://www.baconparkgolf.com/) offers a solid municipal option at a lower price point, and Southbridge Golf Club is a Rees Jones-designed course about 15 minutes south of downtown with a challenging 6,900-yard layout. For groups willing to make the drive, [Golf Island](https://www.golfisland.com/) lists courses on Hilton Head Island, about an hour north. ### Catch a Savannah Bananas Game at Grayson Stadium If you can time your trip around a home game, catching the Savannah Bananas at Historic Grayson Stadium is worth the effort. Banana Ball is part baseball, part entertainment spectacle - choreographed dances, backflipping catches, a two-hour time limit, and rules designed to keep the energy up from first pitch to final out. The Bananas play home dates in Savannah throughout the season, with 2026 games scheduled in March, April, May, and October. Fair warning: tickets sell through a lottery system and demand is intense, so get on the ticket list early at thesavannahbananas.com. ### Southern Food That Goes Beyond Fried Chicken The Lady and Sons still draws crowds downtown, but Savannah's food scene goes well beyond one restaurant. The Olde Pink House serves Southern classics in an 18th-century mansion on Reynolds Square - the fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits are the real draw. Vinnie Van Go Go's on City Market does pizza by the slice that holds up against late-night options anywhere. For something more upscale, check out The Grey, a restaurant built inside a restored 1930s Greyhound bus terminal that's earned national recognition. ### Haunted Breweries and Irish Pubs Worth a Full Evening Moon River Brewing Co. operates out of a building that's supposedly one of the most haunted in the city - the beer is better than the ghost stories, and the rooftop patio is a solid spot for an afternoon. Savannah also has a deep pub scene with a distinctly British and Irish flavor. Six Pence Pub and Churchill's Pub cover the English side, while Kevin Barry's and McDonough's handle the Irish contingent. Service Brewing Company is worth the short trip outside the Historic District for a veteran-owned brewery with a rotating tap list. ### Ghost Stories, Pub Crawls, and 300 Years of History on Foot Savannah is routinely ranked among the most haunted cities in America, and the ghost tour industry here takes that seriously. 6th Sense World has been running tours for over 25 years, with both family-friendly and adults-only walking options that cover the Historic District's most notorious properties. The Creepy Crawl Haunted Pub Tour is the move for a [guys weekend](https://www.mantripping.com/guys-weekend.html) - it combines ghost stories with stops at four local bars over two hours, departing nightly from Six Pence Pub at $30 per person (21+ only, ID required).

Beyond the ghosts, Savannah's history is the real attraction. The city's grid of oak-shaded squares was laid out in 1733, and walking the Historic District puts you past antebellum mansions, Civil War landmarks, and the bench from the Forrest Gump bus stop scene in Chippewa Square. Old Town Trolley Tours runs hop-on, hop-off routes if you want the narrated version without committing to a full walking tour. ### Inshore Redfish and Offshore Charters Out of Tybee Whether you want inshore redfish on the coastal rivers or offshore action in the Atlantic, Savannah has charter options for both. Coastal river charters typically run half-day trips targeting redfish, trout, and flounder in the tidal creeks around Tybee and Wilmington Islands. For deep-sea trips, operators out of Tybee Island and Thunderbolt run full-day charters for everything from king mackerel to cobia depending on the season. ### Tybee Island: Beach Bars and Crab Shacks 20 Minutes East Tybee Island sits about 20 minutes east of downtown Savannah and makes for an easy day trip or half-day add-on. The Crab Shack on Chimney Creek is a Tybee institution - outdoor tables, cold beer, and piles of low-country boil served on newspaper. North Beach is the quieter option for actually relaxing, while South Beach near the pier has more action and rentals for kayaking, paddleboarding, and kiteboarding.   ## Downtown Hotels That Keep You Walking Distance from Everything Savannah is a city where your hotel location makes or breaks the weekend - stay in the Historic District and you won't need a car from check-in to checkout. **Worth the splurge:** Perry Lane Hotel sits right in the Historic District and has been named the top hotel in Savannah by Travel + Leisure three years running. The rooftop bar at Lost Square offers views across downtown, and every room gets a king bed. **Solid mid-range:** The Cotton Sail Hotel on River Street occupies a restored 1800s cotton warehouse with a rooftop bar and balconies overlooking the river. It puts you right in the middle of the action without the luxury price tag. **Budget-friendly:** The Holiday Inn Express and Hampton Inn in the Historic District both offer walkable locations with free breakfast - splitting a couple of rooms between the guys keeps costs reasonable while keeping you within stumbling distance of everything.   ## Grab a To-Go Cup and Let Savannah Do the Rest Savannah rewards the guys weekend that doesn't try to do too much. Pick a downtown hotel, walk everywhere, and let the to-go cups and the live music pull you from one spot to the next. The best nights here tend to start with dinner on a historic square, move to a haunted pub crawl, and end on a rooftop bar watching cargo ships slide down the Savannah River at midnight. Time it right, and you might catch the Bananas turning Grayson Stadium into the loudest small venue in the country - just don't forget to enter that ticket lottery early.
