Love this place! Bartenders are amazing, we enjoy playing shuffleboard, and their eclectic selection of beers is always on point. They always have at least one sour on tap, which makes me happy. And they stock a lot of cans that are also fun. If you like craft beer, this place is the bomb!

Very relaxed atmosphere with a variety of draft beers - loved the Hubbards Cave Raspberry French Toast stout (beers rotate so this may not be available on your visit). Highly recommend a pitstop here while youre in Savannah.

This was a convenient place to get a growler near my rental. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of non-local beers available in bottles and cans. I found a couple Bells offerings I hadnt seen before, and some Allagash I havent seen outside of Maine. I feel like I was lucky to walk past this place.

Im a whiskey guy myself, but the conversations with the bartenders alone are worth hanging out at this great place. Perfect atmosphere.

Chill and relaxed brewery next to Forsyth Park that makes it a great place to visit. It has limited draft picks, but all of them are very delicious and well picked. Their theme is whale so youll probably get your brew in a glass stamped with a magnificent whale on it.Overall, cant complain. Just a good ol bar next to a park!

If you like craft beer you must go here! If you don’t like craft beer, what’s wrong with you??Great selection of sour beers, super passionate and knowledgeable staff (slash maybe the owner?). Felt like I was speaking to a preeminent beer scholar in the best way.

We had a great experience here. The bartender (and owner maybe) as well as all the patrons we met were very welcoming. We had a great time here relaxing after a long walk that took us to the South end of Forsyth Park where this is located. Knowledgeable staff and excellent beers on tap and for sale as growlers or 6 packs. My favorite drinking spot in our short trip to Savannah. We will stop back in on our next trip to Savannah!

Recently, myself and a small group of friends has made this place our weekly hangout. There isnt a bad thing to be said; the constantly-changing selection of craft beers is amazing, the barstaff is friendly and super helpful, and the atmosphere is cozy and down to earth. I look forward to my Thursdays here every week!

Stopped in for a last minute beer at the end of the day and had such a great time. Relaxed and chill, this was a great brewery to enjoy some beer and have a nice chat with Christina. She knew so much about the area and gave great recommendations for other places to grab a bite to eat and get some good cocktails. Highly recommended!

My fiancé and I love it here. Great beer selection, dogs welcome, and friendly staff. Also..since the start of the pandemic they have been one of the only small businesses we have visited that have practiced proper mask/covid protocols consistently. I always feel incredibly comfortable here because I know they take the ordinances and the virus itself seriously. I would like to thank them for the fortitude it takes to ask people to follow the guidelines when it is clear those people treat the safety of others around them as a joke...it cannot be easy and yet Kristina is always kind but clear! We will continue to come back here for as long as we live in Savannah

A small craft beer pour house, with a decent selection. I tried some great beers and the woman working took the time to tell me about the beers that I tried, which I really appreciated. There are some outdoor seating as well. A chill place, for meeting up or trying some craft beers, that is worth going to if youre near Forsyth park.

Great variety of craft beers from around the area and abroad, both on tap and caned. A bit pricy but Tuesday they have good growler fill ups. You can bring any growler you like. See you Tuesday white 🐋

Loved this place. The bartender is fun to chat with and super knowledgeable about the drink options. Both my husband and I found some beers that we had never heard of before, but were absolutely excellent. Well probably stop back in every time we are in town.

Was excited to try this place out but as soon as we walked in, we were treated very poorly by the staff, and owner. No one in the establishment was wearing a mask, including the bartender, owner, or any of the staff, yet they demanded we wear ours. Very inconsistent and unfriendly service. Very disappointed and wont be back.

We enjoy this place! You can bring your dog- grab a beer (inside) or a growler to go- as well as cans to go. Good selection of local, regional beers and ciders- as well a board games to play and tap takeover events (food trucks outside sometimes too) cozy little spot south of the park- fun place for locals to get out of the tourist traps further towards the river.

This place has an overall amazing customer service experience. The young lady who is the barista that works behind the bar has a great knowledge of all the beer selections that they have in store. This bar is really close to Forsyth Park so its a good place to stop for a refresher if you are at the park. The beers arent expensive and they have a good wide selection of options for you to either drink there or to take to go. Ill stop there quite frequently as I walk from Starland Yard to Forsyth Park and get a beer to celebrate my walk lol.

Great pub... The staff was super friendly and allowed us to bring our sweet pup in while we enjoyed a pint. They have a great selection of Georgia micro brew beer to drink and you can buy some to take home. Well definitely be back. We appreciated their kindness and hospitality.

Wandered in because this tasting room was mislabeled as a brewery by google maps. Glad I did, was able to watch a community interview and try some great beer.Wish I had something like this back home. Come on out & meet good people.Wishing you success!(beware of guys with beards named Ahab, so obsessive)

Great selection, very laid back. Nice choice of take home selection. Friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting and talking with the owner while we sipped delicious brews. He even let us stay past closing time. This will always be a must stop location on every visit I make to Savannah.

Great Tap house! Southern hospitality at its best. Jason and Jocelyn run the operation. Its a fun place to enjoy some really good craft beers! Dinner nights, Open mic comedy, social gatherings and events. They are convenient to Bull Street Tacos too. I highly recommend White Whale over the tourist traps!#beertogo

Just here to place a 5 star review to balance out “Max” and his idiotic comments about how they wouldn’t accept his firearms permit because guess what Jack, the state of Georgia says they can’t. You know why they say that? Cause it’s issued by the county, not the state you talking butter tub.Also, great relaxed atmosphere, always a diverse selection of brews both on tap and in the cooler, nice owner and employees, and every Monday night they have a comedy Open Mic that’s tons of fun. Probably the best time to be had on a Monday night in Savannah really.But do yourself a favor, bring a state issued ID, otherwise no one feels bad for you. Ya dummy.

I walked in the door and was given a political opinion before I was asked what I wanted, then was sold a beer they knew I intended on drinking there and didn’t share that I couldn’t drink it until they had taken my money and asked for a tip. Easy one star

Came there with my friend to have couple of beers and was asked for an ID. I gave them georgia weapons carry license and was rejected to be serviced with explanation that this ID is not legal enough to have a beer.Went to Crystal beer parlor and my ID was good enough. Had perfect times there with my id being legal enough. THANKS CRYSTAL BEER PARLOR!!

Worth visiting if youre in the area. Bar and beer shop if youre from the Northeast like me where those things are not normally combined. Full of suggestions for local beers and a video game system that my son loved.

Review №58

I love grabbing beer here after work. The location is great because theres almost always parking near by, and you can have a beer or two while you shop! Who doesnt like that! You get all the perks of a bar without having the scene of a bar, plus this spot is a local place, so if you need to get out of the tourist area and in to somewhere local- this is the spot. Low pressure, friendly staff and everyone seems to really know their stuff when it comes to beer, AND its pet friendly too!

Owners are fantastic and helpful. This is the only place to buy a good quality porter or stout . Two beers which are scarce to come by in this town. Definitely give them a visit because you wont regret it

Review №63

I may be biased (just kidding, I am absolutely biased) but this is the best spot in Savannah to 1) drink fresh and delicious craft beer from extrodinary breweries near and far 2) engage in knowledgeable and entertaining conversation about life, beer, and everything in between and 3) meet cool people and create new friendships. Also, there are pinball machines, King of Pops, and games galore (board and video--to include classic NES.) 4 out of 5 Dentists agree that White Whale is the place to be.

Great place for new brews. The owner is super helpful and always willing to give you his input on the current selection...which changes all the time so you never have to repeat beers. Plus the guy is an eagle at finding new micros. Walk your dog and grab a pint bc its also right next to Forsyth. Send it.

Jason and Jocelyn own and operate this killer beer shop on Bull just south of Forsyth Park. Stop in and try a few tasters on tap while you tour the selection of local and select bottles and cans.
