    When looking for a bar with live music, there are some boxes that need to be checked to ensure a good time. Is there a cool atmosphere? Will they play the genre of music I like? And most importantly, is the band any good? Whether you’re looking for some jazz in a swanky, dimly lit bar or traditional Irish folk music from one of the best Irish pubs in America, the Hostess City is the perfect place to tap your toes and sip some Southern libations.

    Kevin Barry’s Irish Pub

    If you’re in the mood for Irish troubadours and folk musicians, you’re in luck. This classic pub is considered one of the best in America (not just for St. Patrick’s Day) and offers live music seven nights a week in a relaxed, safe and inviting atmosphere. With a strong connection to the military past and present, the bar pays tribute to servicemen with pictures, badges, flags and a collection of memorabilia in its upstairs “Hall of Heroes.” Stop by for a pint or a whiskey and enjoy conversation without the distraction of TVs or Wi-Fi. You remember what that’s like, right?

One of Savannah’s most popular live music venues creates an unpretentious, laid-back atmosphere with vaguely gothic décor. There’s no shortage of tattoos, hipster vibes and punk rock college students. Of course, out of towners are also welcome to enjoy all events including Tuesday Hip-Hop Nite, Karaoke Thursdays and live performances by the country outfit Damon and the Shitkickers. With other local and traveling artists, there’s a wide range of live music at this storied space.

    Jazz’d Tapas Bar

    The Wormhole

    The Wormhole is perfect for those needing a relaxed pub with a little bit of everything. This neighborhood dive bar offers all kinds of live performances with a cosmic feel. One night it’s a heavy metal band, the next it’s a set from a headlining comedian. And on the weekend, you might find a festival, square dancing or an electronica show. With complimentary bar games, arcades, pinball and old school video game consoles, you can create any kind of night you want at The Wormhole.
