If you're looking for the perfect spot to unwind after a vigorous 5k run—perhaps one that doesn't require chasing your kids or placating your partner—look no further than the Pendant Terrace Bar atop The Drayton Hotel in downtown Savannah. Nestled at 7 Drayton St, this rooftop haven offers an exquisite blend of stunning views, vibrant ambiance, and tantalizing menu options that make it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. As my girlfriends and I settled in with our drinks, we were greeted by panoramic vistas of Savannah's Historic District, including the iconic City Hall, bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. We reveled in the experience, sipping cocktails and sharing laughter while the city’s charm unfolded around us, reminding us why we cherish moments like these.
