Located about a block from the romantic Savannah River District is The Pirate's House, a delicious restaurant with dishes such as Seared Swordfish and jambalaya, in addition to the typical steak and seafood items.
Its historical atmosphere is absolutely priceless, allowing tourists and guests to wonder around and observe different historical aspects of the old premises. Located in the Trustees Garden, The Pirate's House is considered by many to be the oldest and most historic spot in Savannah.
Offering over 15 uniquely-themed dining rooms, the restaurant has received numerous award including the Coveted Travel/Holiday Award, AAA, Gourmet, McCall's, Food & Wine, Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Living, and Town & Country. Redbook considers it "One of the 34 Best Restaurants in the USA." But once you dine here with its historical atmosphere and excellent sea-faring menu, you will know why.
Opening in 1753 as an inn for seafarers, the Pirate's House quickly became a meeting point for sailors and blood-thirsty pirates from the Seven Seas. Conversations regarding the exotic high sea adventures from Singapore to Bombay, and London to Port Said, with stories still persisting about the old rum cellar beneath the Captain's Room. These stories were about a tunnel leading to waiting ships, where unconscious men were carried to the ships which carried them strange ships board for ports across the ocean. Another story is about the ghost of Ol' Captain Flint who haunts the upstairs room because he was said to die upstairs on a moonlit night, known as the pirate who mysteriously buried gold and silver on the famous Treasure Island.
An example of a mouth-watering Pirate House lunch buffet is Honey Pecan Chicken, Okra Gumba, Seafood Au Gratin, Chicken Pot Pie, Squash Casserole, Savannah Red Rice, Cranberry Orange Pecan Mold, Macaroni and Cheese, Corn Bread, Cole Slaw, Georgia Pecan Pie, Sour Cream Pound Cake, plus oh so much more!!
