If you and your girls are looking to get glam before your night out, stroll down fashion-forward Broughton Street, which has been called Savannah’s answer to Fifth Avenue. Here, you’ll find local boutiques like Harper Boutique, Satchel and Whispers Boutique, alongside top-name national retailers. For unique jewelry, perfumes and other one-of-a-kind treasures, stop at The Paris Market & Brocante (don’t leave without getting a French frozen hot chocolate). Walk a few short blocks to City Market for more shopping, or hop on a horse-drawn carriage for a leisurely tour of the Historic District. For one of Savannah’s favorite ways to browse around, join a Sip n’ Shop tour where you can sip on succulent wine and shop some of Savannah’s finest boutiques.

For pre-dinner drinks, head to Bay Street to get a bird’s eye view of the massive container ships on the Savannah River at ARCO, a relaxing cocktail lounge serving coastal menu items, classic and craft cocktails, wine and champagne as you chat on velvet sofas and swivel leather chairs. Feel the beat of bustling River Street at Rocks on the Roof, perched atop the Bohemian Hotel. From there, go underground (literally) for a mood-boosting speakeasy-inspired dive at the Peacock Lounge or indulge in live music and small plates at the always-swinging Jazz’d Tapas Bar. Or, if you’re feeling extra fancy, reserve a table at The Olde Pink House for upscale Southern cuisine inside of an elegant Southern mansion.

Still got some steam? Sing your heart out at Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos Saloon, with audience interaction and onstage antics that could make any bride blush. In the morning, a Mexican mocha from The Coffee Fox (and a pair of dark sunglasses) should fix you right up.
