The Bar Bar
Dancing · Video Bar · Savannah, GA
About
The Bar Bar is best suited for a mixed, casual crowd that wants board games, foosball, and dancing under one roof. This speakeasy has been around since 1993, with owners who left corporate jobs to run their own show. The vibe is come-as-you-are, with a pool table, video bar, and a dance floor that some reviewers describe as bedroom-sized. Drinks are affordable, and happy hour runs most nights.
Yelp reviews note the crowd leans young and straight, often college-age women dancing together, with few gay men. The location on River Street near Congress is easy to find, but note that Yelp data suggests this venue may be permanently closed — call ahead or check their social media before heading out. If you're looking for a more reliably gay scene nearby, Club One is another option in Savannah.
Located on River Street near Congress in Savannah's historic waterfront district.

It's one of the top bars on the block, but I wouldn't call it gay... more like a place where you can be yourself, grab a drink, and have fun with a diverse crowd.

“Nice bar”
I was completely confused. I didn't see many gay men. The crowd on the dance floor was mostly young college-age women dancing together, with just a few guys standing by the walls. The dance area is about the size of a bedroom. It didn't feel like a gay bar at all. The layout is great and the location is great, but I still haven't found a true gay bar in Savannah.
