Crystal Beer Parlor: A Lively Southern Gem in Savannah

First time visitor. The place was packed and the wait was 30 to 40 minutes. We squeezed into a spot at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and efficient. We had the crab puppies appetizer and a cocktail. It's an energetic and lively bar. The appetizer was quite good, different for sure. We sat when our table was ready. Again, the waitress was friendly and efficient. Dinner was Flounder Filets and the Other Salad with chicken. The salad has mandarin oranges, cranberries, almonds and more on greens with a ginger based dressing. Somehow it all comes together and works well. Only concern would be the grilled chicken ion top which was dry and lifeless on such a lively salad. If you stay in or near downtown Savanah this makes a good choice for dinner time.

Great service, great food, great Ambiance! You get it all here. The Pretzels Are awesome to start. We had lamb and steak done well . It was all delicious. Just a Great place to come back!

Great local bar. Went there for a weekday lunch and there was a big crowd but open spots at the bar. The Bloody Mary was great and a solid burger. Would go back the next time I'm in Savannah.

Came around 7:30 and was given an estimated wait time of 35-40 minutes. Luckily, there was an adjoining gift shop that allowed us to kill some time and we were seated early after only 15min. The star of the meal was definitely the giant pretzel with bier cheese. The fried pickles deserve an honorable mention and the burger was okay. The meat wasn't as juicy as I anticipated and I felt it came off as a bit dry. I think I enjoyed the side of potato salad more than the burger. Overall, a good place for a filling meal.

Crystal Beer Parlor is clearly loved by locals and tourists alike, and for great reason! Awesome beer selection here- something on tap for everyone! Tried the Service Brewing Disco Crush (pic on left) and Etowah RB&B (right). Appetizer of fried green tomatoes is a must try! For dinner we had the crystal chili cheese dog and the turkey Reuben- both delicious and both of these dishes as well as the appetizer offered generous portions. Bartender was helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. Interesting decor, showcasing local memorabilia and artifacts.

Prompt service. Good food. Nice place Lots pf parking space. Good service. No breakfast. Opened for lunch and dinner only

My wife and I were in Savannah for a long weekend and I had found this place on Yelp and I knew I had to have a meal here. It was only a few blocks from our hotel and it can hold A LOT of people and they even have a tent outside if you want to eat outside. We were able to get a seat pretty quick, but kind of a crummy seat in the back. I couldn't even see the cool bar. Also, they didn't have wi-fi, boo on that. I gave the place five stars, but if 4.5 was available, I would probably give that. Our server was a nice enough guy and when I finished my first beer (They have an AWESOME beer list), he never checked on us if I wanted another, eventually the manager came by and was able to get me another beer. I ordered the pimento pig pulled pork sandwich with collard greens and my wife got the HUGE pretzel with dipping cheese. The food came out pretty fast, and the collard greens were some of the best I had in Savannah. The sandwich was good, but the bread turns really soggy quickly, so it really isn't a hand held sandwich. I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. Really good pulled pork too and the bread was buttery and good. The pretzel was huge and really good for what it was and the dipping cheese is really great. We ended up taking half the pretzel home all the way to Minneapolis and have been munching on it for a couple of days after a quick nuke in the microwave. A couple knocks against it, but I would give it a shot at least once and the place is packed, so they must be doing something right. Great ambiance inside as well.

On our arrival to Savannah after our tour, we decided to stop by for lunch based on good reviews and knowing that it has been a staple in the city. The restaurant is bug but you wouldn't think so from walking by ir driving by. Street parking is available and you do have to wait for a table, since it gets busy. There is some outside seating and plenty of inside seating. Our server took our order and checked on us from time to time. Drinks took a while to get to us but food came shortly after. We ordered the Salmon BLT, the bison burger and a ham sandwich. Everything was good, made to order and the portions were large. I loved the sweet potato fries!

We came to this place at the recommendation of our tour guide. The food was great, the customer service was excellent, the prices were decent but their peach cobbler was amazing. Apparently it's one of the beats in the area. It didn't disappoint. Would definitely visit again. If you stop by, eat inside instead of the patio so you can enjoy the southern ambiance.
