Did you know? The view of our waterfront continues beyond River Street. There's a thriving district waiting for you to join them on the lawn at Eastern Wharf. And it's not just about the water with this lively crew: shopping, dining, accommodations, live music, cocktails, you name it. It sounds like the ideal way to spend the day, don't you think?

There's no need to convince us! We're eager to give you the deets on all things Eastern Wharf and even more reasons to extend your love for our riverfront.

01
Thompson Savannah

Get Above the Crowd at Bar Julian

Start your day on a high note—quite literally—at Bar Julian. Perched atop ‌Thompson Savannah, this isn't just any rooftop bar. It's the pinnacle of cocktail craft, with a Mediterranean menu that dances delightfully on your palate. Choose your backdrop—city sparkle or river tranquility—and let the elevated views match the sublime sips. Sky's the limit? More like the beginning of your elevated escape!

Luxury Lounging by the Pool

Why just walk by the pool when you can lounge like royalty? Slip into something comfortable and saunter down to the Thompson Savannah's pool deck. No room key? No problem! Grab a $30 Day Pass and make a splash or just chill in the shade of a private cabana. With top-tier drink and towel service at your beck and call, you might just forget you're not on a tropical getaway.
