North Historic District

Savannah's North Historic District is the oak-shaded, cobblestone heart of the city - the famous squares, River Street, and City Market all sit inside it - and BarFinder lists 138 venues packed into its walkable blocks. The scene leans heavily toward classic bars and cocktail bars, with a strong lounge and pub presence too, including spots like Repeal 33 (named for the year Prohibition ended), The Black Rabbit, and Wexford, Savannah's Irish Pub. Savannah's open-container law lets visitors carry a to-go cup between bars, and this district - with its dense cluster of historic buildings turned bars - is where that tradition plays out most. It's less about one single strip than a whole historic grid built for wandering from square to square.
