RIVERFRONT. Invariably relaxed and populated by a largely local crowd, Chuck's is also a mainstay for gay folks. It's got a pool table, a jukebox and upholstery just made for lounging. The historic space provides time-tested character, and its off-the-beaten-path locale means that it's not a huge tourist spot. It is, however, considered something of a dive in the nicest, most beloved sense of the word. Chuck's is worth a visit for its charm and its low-key ambience, not to mention its intriguing, alternative clientele.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. This member of the Southeastern chain gets a brisk business from both tourists and residents. With its rustic ambience and decided sports-bar feel, Loco's delivers both good American food standards and a welcome selection of beer and booze. The 19th-century former furniture building also hosts live bands, mostly of the rock persuasion, which means that college kids and younger parents give it their loyalty throughout the week.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. Moon River Brewing Company is the city's only brew pub, and it makes the finest beer in the Southeast right on the premises. Ask for a taster glass to sample any or all of the brews to see which you like best. Also offered are a full bar and great food. Start off with spinach artichoke dip, and then consider excellent and reasonably priced sandwiches, pastas, appetizers, and more. Entrees include baby back ribs, crab cakes, blackened sea scallops, and chicken and sausage Creole. Daily lunch specials and lots of artwork are also crowd-pleasers.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. With its large, divided-light windows and the Union Jack flying overhead, there's no mistaking the British flavor of this popular pub. And while it may seem something of an anomaly, it's not only a local haunt, but it was also the much-talked-about backdrop of a Julia Roberts movie. Stop in for traditional pub fare or some American standards, and don't forget to tip back one or more of the dozens of beers they carry.

RIVERFRONT. Lots of wood and brick, along with a goodly supply of beer memorabilia and neon, give Bernie's casual appeal. The laid-back place occupies what was once a warehouse, and the historic charm is still there. It's a favorite hang-out of locals, who appreciate lots of sports on the telly, live music and a raw bar. The drinks of choice are cold beer and their signature Bloody Marys, punched up with lime, celery salt and pickled okra. Complementing them beautifully are a menu of pub fare and seafood. Great bartenders are an added perk.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. How about an historic setting for one of the most unexpected jazz clubs in Savannah? Making its home in the cellar of the 1771 Olde Pink House with aged brick walls, huge fireplaces and a talented vocalist/pianist, the tavern is one of the best places to enjoy live jazz in the city. Pair the soothing sounds with Southern treats like shrimp and grits or she-crab soup and you're in for a near perfect night out.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. This small neighborhood bar is a good place to have a beer and engage in some conversation with friends. It's also a great place to unwind after a hard day at work or to kick back on the weekend. With its friendly, welcoming ambience, reasonable prices, and ample parking, it's no wonder that locals love it. N.B. If you haven't sampled one of their signature gin martinis served in a plastic cup, do yourself a favor and move quick!

RIVERFRONT. A white-painted brick building with candy-striped awnings establishes a cheery welcome at this long-lived eatery. Wood flooring, beams, and walls create a charming, rustic vibe, and there's typically a fun atmosphere at the bar. In fact, it should be known that the Shrimp Factory offers one of the best happy hours on River Street. The Chatham Artillery Punch, in particular, is wicked ­ the special recipe from 1819 mixes gin, rum, champagne, and brandy and will have a positive effect on your mood! The restaurant has many options but places an emphasis on shrimp, crab, and fish.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. A historic mansion dating from 1790, this property was restored and opened as an inn in 1976. Its restaurant recalls a brick-and-beams tavern, and its excellent American Continental menu features dishes like pecan-crusted grouper, coq au vin, and crab-stuffed shrimp. Happy hour specials attract lively crowds to the inn's cozy lounge, which (like the property itself) is apparently haunted by the ghost of a lovesick young woman.
