Things to do on your Savannah bachelorette weekend
No matter what your bride’s style is, you’ll find something for every taste here!
Hire Butler Services with Cocktail Boys
Once you’ve decided on where to stay for your bachelorette weekend in Savannah, plan a party at the hotel or rental with Cocktail Boys! They’ll serve drinks and snacks, be your photographers, your Spotify DJs, help with party games, clean up the party, and take the trash out when they leave!
And it doesn’t hurt that they’re easy on the eyes! They book up fast because there are so many bachelorette parties in Savannah Georgia, so be sure to book well in advance!
Hop on Hop off Trolley Tour
This is the perfect daytime activity for your bachelorette weekend. The trolley tour not only takes you around the city to see all the major historic sites, but you can get off any time you want! Explore one of the historic squares or stop for coffee or drinks, and hop back on at one of their stops located throughout Savannah’s historic district.
We’ve found this is actually the cheapest way to get around for a day in Savannah. Those Ubers can add up!
Make Custom Candles at Sea Love Candle Bar
Talk about a unique experience! Here at Sea Love, each person in your wedding party can blend their own signature scent, choose the vessel that would go perfectly in their home, and pour their own candle!
This is the perfect activity for before dinner or lunch – just pour your candle, head to one of the incredible restaurants nearby, and pick it up when you’re done with your meal!
Haunted Bar Crawl
My girlfriends and I had so much fun on our haunted pub crawl! Meet your guide at the famous Six Pence Pub, then grab a drink and head off on a spooky adventure.
You’ll visit several other historic pubs, haunted streets, and squares around town. The guide will tell you chilling tales of the city’s past as your explore.
Drag Queen Guided Pub Crawl
There is no better way to see the fabulous side of Savannah than with your own drag queen guide! This is perfect for the bride tribe who loves to dance, sing, and hit the city’s top bars.
You’ll get treated like a true queen on this crawl, with skip-the-line treatment at every bar and club along the way.
Riverboat Cruise
This is another fantastic daytime activity for your bachelorette weekend in Savannah. There is nothing more iconic than the Savannah Riverboats and they actually have a variety of tours to choose from.
Our favorites are the daytime sightseeing cruise, which is narrated and educational, or the sunset cruise which is perfect for Instagram-worthy photos.
Dueling Piano Show
Located at the west end of River Street near Plant Riverside District, Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos is a must-do activity for any bachelorette party. This place is high energy and will keep your crew laughing and singing all night long!
Beach day on Tybee Island
Need to unwind for the day? Tybee Island is just around the corner and has some of the best beaches on the east coast. Head to South Beach to be near the pier and the bars, or Mid Beach if you want to be away from the crowds.
Pro tip: Book the Cocktail Boys for your beach day! They’ll happily get your drinks from the cooler and deliver them to you out in the water, move your umbrellas when you need shade, and arrange fun activities for you on the beach.
If you want to get out on the water, there are all sorts of ways to do so. Rent a jet ski or two for your crew, go on a hilarious tiki boat adventure, or rent a pontoon boat for the afternoon!
Where to Stay in Savannah

Savannah Bachelorette Weekend Itinerary
This is the ultimate Savannah bachelorette party guide and itinerary to make sure you have a truly unforgettable bachelorette weekend amongst the Spanish moss and cobblestone streets.
Day 1
After checking into your hotel or vacation rental, it’s time to hit the town! There’s no better time to head straight to River Street. If you’ve made it in time for lunch, head to Vic’s on the River for a bite. If not, it’s time for some sight seeing!
Hop aboard your Riverboat Cruise right from River Street, or grab the free ferry if you just want a quick trip to take in the views and take a few pictures of the bride tribe out on the water.
At happy hour, head on up to one of Savannah’s incredible rooftop bars! If it’s Thursday check out the live music at Top Deck and if you’re staying at Plant Riverside District check out one of their rooftop bars, Myrtle & Rose.
Head back to the room to freshen up for dinner and then it’s time to get back out there! Grab dinner at The Olde Pink House or Common Thread for an unforgettable experience.
After dinner, head to Savannah Smiles for the dueling pianos and celebrate your bride-to-be as you sing and laugh the night away.
Day 2
It’s day two of your bachelorette weekend and you know what that means – Time for mimosas and sightseeing! Head on over to the closest Olde Town Trolley stop to your hotel and jump on in. Now that you have your trolley tour ticket, they’re your ride for the day!
Take in the sights between wherever you get on and the world famous Forsyth Park. In the park you’ll find Collins Quarter, one of the best spots for brunch in the city. Treat yourselves to a blood orange mimosa or a peach bellini while you’re there!
Don’t leave Forsyth Park without stopping to take pictures in front of the beautiful fountain located at the center. It’s one of Savannah’s most gorgeous spots. Hop back on the trolley at the same place you got off and continue your sight-seeing of Savannah’s iconic landmarks.
Remember you can get off wherever you want, so feel free to explore Savannah’s historic streets like Jones Street (just north of Stop 6) or grab a cold brew coffee at The Coffee Fox.
Celebrate your girl!
Now it’s time to head back to the hotel or vacation rental to really celebrate your bride-to-be with a lingerie shower! If you’ve called the Cocktail Boys, have them meet you there. They’ll help get it all set up and treat you all like queens throughout the party.
Next is happy hour, check out another one of the rooftop bars near your hotel. I highly recommend Peregrin for the best views of the city and the most inventive cocktails.
At dinner time, head over to Husk in the North Historic District for a fabulous locally-sourced dinner in a landmark mansion.
After dinner it’s time to bar crawl your way around the city! Whether you choose a haunted pub crawl, a fabulous night out with a drag queen tour or a regular ghost tour without the bar crawl, you’re sure to have a great time with your bride tribe.
Day 3
Yesterday was quite the day, huh? If you’re checking out today you still have time for breakfast, so head on over to The Ordinary Pub for bloody Mary’s and crab cakes benedict or go to B. Matthew’s Eatery for classic breakfast fare.
If it’s time to leave, then give your bride-to-be a hug and tell her you’ll see her at the rehearsal dinner! Not leaving today? Then it’s definitely time for a relaxing beach day… Check out the beach day itinerary below!
Optional Beach Day
Grab a coffee and quick breakfast bite at your hotel before loading up your beach gear and heading to Tybee Island. These are the best beaches on the east coast so you really can’t go wrong!
To fuel up for a day in the sun, grab a filling brunch at any of the best brunch spots on Tybee Island. The Surfing Goat Coffee & Bagel Bar is right by the spot you’ll park to go to the beach, as is Sunrise Restaurant. If you’re looking for a more healthy start for your day after a weekend of indulging, try Mi Vida.
I recommend parking at the public parking parking near the Tybee Beach Pier and Pavilion. That way you have a ton of options for food and drinks walking distance from your beach spot. Don’t forget the Cocktail Boys will meet you here and help you carry your cooler, set up your umbrellas, and cater to you while you lounge out on the beach!
If you want to get off the beach, don’t forget you can rent a jet ski or two for your crew, go on a hilarious tiki boat adventure, or rent a pontoon boat for the afternoon!
We have tons of suggestions for the best restaurants on Tybee Island, but you really can’t go wrong with The Original Crab Shack . It’s a casual place with killer views and enormous seafood baskets.
If you’re wanting to hit the bars on Tybee Island, try Nickie’s 1971 for the karaoke or The Deck for a classic beach bar vibe and views of the water.
