The rooftop bar at Thompson Savannah in Eastern Wharf. It calls itself 'Savannah's tallest rooftop bar, eye level with the ships and endless river views', with an east terrace and a west terrace. The kitchen sends out a Mediterranean menu with oven bread. Savannah Magazine readers gave it best nonalcoholic menu in 2026 and runner-up for both rooftop bar and signature cocktails.
Fleeting is the ground-floor restaurant of the Thompson Savannah hotel at Eastern Wharf. The site says the kitchen blends global technique with regional classics and commits to hyper-local ingredients picked at their peak. Dining guests get free valet parking, and the bar opens an hour before dinner.
The restaurant stands on the Trustees' Garden, the ten acres General Oglethorpe set aside in 1733 as an experimental garden. Its Herb House dates to 1734 and is said to be the oldest standing building in Georgia; the inn for seafarers opened in 1753. Mary Hillyer restored the building in 1945, and Herbert Traub Jr. and James Casey opened it as a tea room in 1953. In the 1990s Ben Tucker and Emma Kelly ran the Hannah's East jazz club here.
