Arco Cocktail Lounge & Coastal Fare

"Had an incredible night at Arco. It’s a beautiful space and the drinks were impeccable. La Portada was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. Evergreen (pictured) was also tasty. They have a live jazz singer every Monday and Wednesday who was AMAZING. I highly recommend for a mid week date night."

"*AN ABSOLUTE MUST-VISIT FOR ANY SAVANNAH VISITOR OR LOCAL* First and foremost, WOW! My wife and I just wrapped up our honeymoon trip to Savannah - a city we've frequented over recent years. With such a significant trip, we wanted to try a few new restaurants and bars that we either hadn't visited in the past or that were newer, at least to our knowledge. Arco was at the top of our list since we tend to enjoy tapas restaurants and the decor looked beautiful. We made a reservation for 7:30pm, arrived at 7:00pm, and sat immediately without hesitation or issue. Admittedly, only one other couple was sitting in the restaurant at the time, so we would've been surprised otherwise. Alex was our server and he was an uber-pleasant SCAD student who, you could see, took great pride in his waiting and personability. He made some great recommendations that guided our order and everything we had was stunning. Cocktails listed on their menu, off-menu classic espresso martinis, burrata with fantastic bread, filet mignon, and grilled shrimp highlighted our order. Sincerely, everything was flawless. Menu, vibes, service. Top. To. Bottom. Perfection. Genuinely, we struggled to return to our bed and breakfast and chat with the hotel manager about the location, because (being that it was so slow) we were unsure if Arco was a hidden gem, or if it was just due to more of an 'off-season' in Savannah. And now, we are yearning for Arco to be busy enough to where they become/remain a Savannah [and River Street] STAPLE, but we also - selfishly - always want the 'exclusive' experience we had to remain. All of this to say, if you're visiting Savannah and enjoy a well-decorated cocktail lounge with great plates and apps, Arco needs to be at the top of your list."

"I recently had an incredible dining experience at this bar lounge . The grilled salmon was perfection, and I appreciated the waiter's attention to detail in asking about the level of doneness. The smaller portions were a delightful touch, allowing me to savor every bite. The cocktails were truly awesome, and the unique cocktail glasses added a special touch to the overall experience. Definitely a 5-star worthy place!"

"Chic decor, fabulous food, friendly and attentive service—best restaurant experience we had in Savannah! The interior is full of rich jewel-tone velvet, marble, and gold accents, but the space still feels light and airy thanks to large windows that let in tons of natural light. There’s also an adorable cozy balcony overlooking the river just big enough for a party of two. My mom and I came here for brunch and enjoyed the avocado toast and shrimp and grits—both were delicious and surprisingly affordable. The drinks were unique, and the presentation was superb. In addition to classic and signature cocktails, they have fun mocktails and low-alcohol options, which were perfect for my mom who doesn’t drink much alcohol. The entire experience was classy and sophisticated. Highly recommend!"

"We went for Sunday brunch, had an 1130 reservation but the tables near the windows were already full so we sat near the door. Cocktails were very good!!! Husband had the shrimp and grits, said it was a solid choice, not the best in Savannah and could have had more shrimp. Breakfast platter was OK, crispy bacon, basic toasted bread and potatoes, they couldn't scramble the eggs which was odd. Crab cakes Benedict were the star dish in terms of flavor, it is one crab cake with an egg, no sides so be aware if you're really hungry you might need to add a side. We ordered a side of the sausage and it was delicious. Overall a solid choice, we will come back to try the small bites, sushi, and pizza, and of course for the cocktails."
