Georgia Trend magazine has issued its annual list of best restaurants and bars in Georgia, and two local hangouts made the list of best bars included in the magazine’s November edition.
No Savannah restaurants were listed among the magazine’s top 10.
Here’s what the magazine had to say about The Olde Pink House and the Tybee Island Social Club:
The Olde Pink House
This tourist favorite has a secret spot downstairs, long a hangout for locals. With a crackling fireplace and comfy club chairs, it’s no wonder it’s the go-to spot in a town full of alternatives (including The Florence, a new Savannah venture from Hugh Acheson that opened this summer).
23 Abercorn St., Savannah

Tybee Island Social Club
It looks and feels a little like a bleached-out beach cottage, which is just the kind of atmosphere for enjoying the smoked vodka bacon bloody Mary, or the Billy Carter. (Belle Meade bourbon, peanut Orgeat and Coke. Incredibly, no beer is involved.) Great with the coastal-inspired tacos, such as the Low Country lobster roll, with lemon aioli, celery, onions and herbs on pita.
