The Savannah Pre-Concert Dining Guide
Eat It & Like It — Savannah's longest-running local food blog — built the definitive list of where to eat before a show at Enmarket Arena, the Savannah Civic Center, Johnny Mercer Theatre or Victory North. EatSavannah mapped every stop by walk time so you can pick a spot and still make the opening act.

Public Kitchen & Bar / Artillery

The closest upscale-casual option to the Civic Center — try the Shrimp and Grits and a top-3-in-the-city espresso martini. Artillery, the upscale cocktail bar right behind it, is a natural second stop.
