American Legion Savannah Post No 135

Great selection of beer and friendly bartenders.

This used to be the best bar in town. I exclusively recommended and visited this bar frequently. The locals waited for almost a year for them to reopen after a fire. When they reopened they all of a sudden established a code of conduct that is strictly enforced. We were told that we were guest and that it was a privilege to drink in the establishment. Then told it was a small price to pay for cheap drinks. The rule sheet is on the back of the drink menu. We were not acting obscene just simply having a conversation with an earshot of a bar back. There is growing resentment for these changes and locals are slowly fading away. It’s insulting to be treated like a child at an adult establishment.

Great neighborhood bar. Good selection of liquor at cheap prices. Unpretentious. Place was clean and staff was friendly until about 1:00 am when the bartender started getting really surly and kept running outside on her phone & leaving the bar back to watch the bar but not be able to actually make any drinks. Once she was gone almost ten minutes. This raised several eyebrows as to what she was doing but was equally amusing.

Legion 135 might just be the Platonic ideal of a bar. It has a great atmosphere, a nice range of beers in cans/​bottles and on tap, a full range of bottled liquor, great decoration, darts, pool, friendly service and. .. wait for it. .. it is cheap, cheap, like the birdies!!! I thought that the days you could ruck up to a bar and get a terrific microbrew for $ 3 were gone. I thought a time when the bartender remembered your drink after your first visit were also long past. I thought that the day when a bar could be cool and unpretentious, friendly but not annoying, and busy without being packed were also to live on only in my sweet, sweet memory – oh Euclid Avenue Yacht Club (Atl.), Comet Club (SF), and Jimmy’s Corner (NYC), how I long for thee! But such a rare and endangered species is still to be found at Legion 135. The bar itself is a fascinating collection of unit patches from the Armed Forces through the years, and I found my dad’s (2^nd Armored Div.) with ease. It was such a great bar, I didn’t even mind sitting next to the USMC emblem, no easy thing for a fella that grew up near West Point and is Army all the way :) What else can I say but please, pour me another, as I don’t aim to leave until they shut the place around me. As Patton said, «keep on driving down the road until they blow you up.»

I always bring my father in this place when he’s in town. He’s a lifetime legion member and gets lost in memories when he’s inside the building. I love the variety of people you’ll find here. Locals, SCAD Bees, Vets, and hipsters alike. The drinks are strong and nicely priced. If you’re in town, stop in to say thanks to a Vet.

This, and Pinkie Masters, used to be the best bars in Savannah. Not sure now. It was so popular with everyone, army guys, art students, gays, old timers. the best weird mix and like being in someone’s bad basement rec room. but then they tried to update it and it just lost some of the strange Savannah ambiance that people look for. It was so cheap too– Ladies Night on Thursdays, a dollar a drink! and a heavy pour at that. I think I heard they were doing away with Ladies Night. If you are visiting town, check it out, it might still be okay. They couldn’t possibly change it too much from the odd but fun experience it once was. And the interior restaurant, Betty Bomber’s, has killer french fries and will bring to you in the bar.

I have never been to an institution like this (similar to a Kiwanis club?) that served booze and was basically a bar, but it worked and was cheap about $ 5 a beer. There is also a diner in the same building which is cool. The bartender was sassy to say the least but I think it worked for her. There was a pool table in the back in a more lit room, and we easily found two empty bar stools on a Thursday evening around 11pm
Definitely no frills, not much of an atmosphere

This place is the best bar in town hands down. It’s no frills and cash only but I’ve never had a bad time here! There is free pool and darts to be had and best of all it’s open to the public.
This is definitely my neighborhood bar. Come here enough and you’ll see plenty of familiar faces. There is always an excellent mix of people. You’ll meet everyone from young to old, scad to military, gay or straight having a blast. It’s certainly not what everyone thinks it’ll be as an American Legion when I bring them here when they visit town.
Oh yea! Sarah is a down ass bartender; don’t mess with her though or she’ll cut you lol. Be nice and personable and she’ll be too. People that don’t like her tend to be rude or just thin skinned I’ve found out.
There is smoking on the patio and dogs are allowed on the patio.
They do trivia on Monday nights. Even if you show up by yourself you can generally find a friendly crew to join. Thursdays are ladies night and Fridays are men’s night. Both nights do cheap drinks from 4 – 8.
Come on down and enjoy the best little bar in town!

Open to the public! Cheapest drinks in town. Great bartenders. Diverse crowd. Just show some respect… it’s still the American Legion.

This is the in-​town neighborhood bar. No frills bar. Always a good mix of young and old. Thursday is Ladies night for even cheaper drinks.
Tip: Cash Only, Smoking Allowed, Dogs on Patio
