Speakeasies and hidden bars in and around the Lowcountry

Sip in secrecy

Step into the past and savor the thrill of uncovering these secret havens of sophistication and nostalgia hidden throughout the Lowcountry and Savannah.

Hush

Tucked away in the basement of the River House restaurant in Palmetto Bluff, Hush is a cozy speakeasy waiting to be discovered. The entrance is disguised as a magical mirror. When you pull it, a concealed passage reveals a sophisticated bar stocked with meticulously selected cigars, bourbon, rye and other fine spirits.

La Aparicion

Mint to be Mojito, located next to Wright Square, is more than just a regular bar; it hides Savannah’s newest speakeasy, La Aparicion. To gain access, simply ask the bartender for the secret code to the private bathroom, which opens the door to a chic Latin American sanctuary. The atmosphere is enchanting, and the cocktails are expertly crafted.

Congress Street Up

Next to Ellis Square in Savannah’s City Market, Congress Street Up is a true hidden gem. Accessing it requires discovering the covert entrance and ascending a flight of stairs. Inside you’ll be greeted by an intimate setting that transports you back to the Prohibition era.

Mata Hari’s

Concealed at 306 West Upper Factors Walk in downtown Savannah, Mata Hari’s boasts an unassuming facade. Patrons must discreetly whisper the secret password to the vigilant doorman, which can be obtained from a nearby shopkeeper or concierge. Once inside, you’ll step into an ambiance reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties. The dress code is strict.
