July 4th Downtown Savannah

My wife and I will be in town the 3rd and we're curious on best venue to be at for the fireworks show. I thought about Peregrino rooftop bar for visual but I'm not sure if there are better places to be. Thanks.

July 4th in Savannah is a fantastic experience, and there are several great spots to watch the fireworks show. Peregrino rooftop bar is a great choice for views, but there are also other popular locations with excellent views of the fireworks over the Savannah River. Here are a few options to consider:

  • Peregrino Rooftop Bar: As you mentioned, this spot is a great option for panoramic views of the river and the fireworks. It’s a rooftop venue, so you'll have a good vantage point, and the lively atmosphere with drinks and food makes it a fun choice. However, it can get crowded, so plan on arriving early to secure a good spot.
  • The Boathouse at River Street: For a more laid-back and closer view of the river, The Boathouse is a popular option. It has a great view of the waterfront and offers outdoor seating. Since it’s right on River Street, it’s a great spot to enjoy the festivities and then head out for a stroll afterward.
  • Moon River Brewing Company: Another great venue with a rooftop view. Located on Abercorn Street, it’s a great spot for drinks, food, and a relaxed atmosphere. The rooftop offers decent views of the fireworks, and it’s not as crowded as some of the other spots along the river. A good option if you're looking for something a bit quieter.
  • Wright Square: If you’re looking for a more local experience, Wright Square is a central location in the historic district and often features viewing areas for the fireworks. It's a park where you can set up a blanket and enjoy the show from the ground. While it’s not elevated like a rooftop, it provides a more open and relaxed atmosphere.
  • Rooftop at The Thompson Savannah: For a more upscale rooftop experience, the Thompson Savannah hotel has a rooftop bar with excellent views of the city and river. You’ll need to make a reservation for the rooftop bar, but it offers a great place to enjoy the fireworks with a more refined atmosphere.

Ultimately, if you’re looking for great views and a lively atmosphere, Peregrino is a fantastic choice. However, if you prefer something a little quieter or more intimate, venues like Moon River Brewing or The Boathouse might be better. Just be sure to arrive early at any of these spots, as they can fill up quickly on July 4th!
