Have you seen the wild and crazy bachelorette parties in the movies and want to be included in the fun? Savannah is it! This hotspot will not only entertain you and your girls, it’ll make it hard to remember, but in the best way possible.
Rooftop Bars: Downtown and the River District are great if you want to have cocktails with a view. Places like The Grove or the Perry Lane rooftop bar or Bar Julian are more classy, while Electric Moon has more of a party vibe. I mean, there’s a slide for goodness sake!
Pub Crawls: If you want a night of drinking plus the ability to learn all about the many stranglings that happened in and around Savannah, hit up the Strangled, Not Stirred pub crawl. You’ll end the night satisfying that true crime itch.
Drag Shows: There’s no better party environment than that of a drag show. The positive energy that always radiates off the performers and audience will put any bridal party in a great mood! Make sure to bring some cash for tips.
Club One on the corner of Jefferson and West Bay streets is a popular choice for those so inclined.
St. Patrick’s Day Events: Savannah is known for how hard it goes during St. Patrick’s Day. So, if your big day is near this holiday, get some pre-gaming done at Stafford’s Public House, hit up the parade, and enjoy some green alcoholic beverages.

Are you obsessed with learning? Trying to cram as much knowledge into that brain in hopes of being the next Jeopardy! champion? Then you’ve come to party in the right place. You and your bride tribe will find a plethora of hidden gems to keep your mind stimulated.
Museums: Savannah is full of history, so there’s no shortage of museums. Whether you’re curious about its military past (check out Fort Jackson for a great presentation!) or into modern art (Telfair Academy is where it’s at) or even want to gain insight on the civil rights movement in Savannah (check out the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum), history is around every corner.

Regarded as the most haunted place in America, the town offers a variety of creepy tours for all ages, including Beyond Good and Evil, the adult-only tour of Savannah’s seedy past, and The Grave Tales, a family-friendly tour exploring the city’s spooky history.
If you and your besties are brave, there are also a plethora of haunted houses, one of which lets you spend the night. The Sorrel Weed House, featured everywhere from the History Channel to Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime, may be one of the spookiest locations in town.
Architecture: If you already have a whole day planned, take a moment in between events and just look up at all the gorgeous buildings throughout the city, specifically in the Historic District.
