Whether it's coffee or a beer you're after, Savannah's historic district has a seat at the bar waiting for you. During the day, Gallery Espresso is packed with locals and tourists alike enjoying the work of local artists and an excellent cup of coffee, and at night, the Savannah Smiles dueling piano bar is an open party you won't want to miss.
Gallery Espresso is a warm, cozy spot to take a break during your afternoon stroll through the local art galleries and artsy shops which surround the leafy squares in downtown Savannah. From white chocolate cappuccinos to Turkish coffee, the cafe has steamy treats to perk you up for the rest of your day, and the plush, comfy seats will make you want to stay for a second cup. You also may end up taking home one of the paintings on the walls by local artists -- you won't find that at Starbucks!
After a walk by the river at night, you will definitely want to stop by the Savannah Smiles dueling piano bar. If the name conjures up images of a hotel bar or a sedate cruise ship lounge, think again - Savannah's answer to the sleepy cocktail lounge is a rowdy good time, with good-spirited bachelorette parties dancing onstage to standards and songs you never thought you'd hear on a piano. The occasional Jello shot drunk out of a syringe is the perfect way to cap off an evening ghost tour, right?
Both spots are excellent places to perfect the local art of people-watching, as characters in Savannah are never in short supply! Just a quick drive from Atlanta, this picturesque coastal town has everything you could want in a relaxing weekend getaway.
