The Pirates’ House
Dating back to 1753, The Pirates’ House is an inn and tavern that provides a special experience unlike any other in Savannah.
An old pirate hangout, The Pirates’ House is home to secret underground tunnels that are rumored to have been used for smuggling and kidnapping. It is even thought to have inspired scenes in the classic book “Treasure Island”.
It is one of the most kid friendly restaurants in Savannah, with kids menus that convert into pirate hats, eye patches, and doubloons. Several adult drinks are served in ceramic pirate themed souvenir mugs.
While the whole thing is a bit touristy, the history is real, and it’s a great place for families to spend an afternoon together with kids in Savannah.
