Olde Pink House

While some historic buildings in Savannah offer guided tours, the Olde Pink House offers cocktails and Southern fare instead. To visit this historic district landmark, you must reserve lunch or dinner (or drop into the cellar tavern for a beverage). While you won’t find formal tours here, visitors are encouraged to take a peek around the main rooms of the mansion, and many staff members can answer questions about the building’s history.

• This elegant mansion is a must for history buffs and couples seeking a romantic night out; it may not be the best match for families with young kids.

• While many historic mansions are not fully wheelchair accessible, the Olde Pink House has a fully accessible side entrance and an elevator that reaches all three levels, plus an accessible restroom.

• While lunch is more casual, dinner is an elegant affair, so be sure to get a little dressed up for the occasion.

• Reservations are a must, especially for dinner and at the weekend.

The Olde Pink House is located at 23 Abercorn St. in the heart of Savannah’s historic district. The pink stucco exterior gives the mansion its name. Visitors staying within the historic district will likely find the mansion on Reynolds Square easy to access on foot. If arriving by car, visitors can look for street parking or utilize a paid lot on nearby Lincoln Street.

To experience the Olde Pink House at its buzziest, opt for a Friday or Saturday evening reservation. Some diners arrive early for a pre-dinner cocktail in the cellar bar, while others visit the low-lit tavern after dinner; many nights feature live music. Reservations can be made or changed online or by phone.

In addition to its regular lunch and dinner service, the Olde Pink House hosts festive events throughout the year. Check out the mansion’s website for details on upcoming events, such as a holiday celebration complete with live music or a derby party with a live band. These events often benefit local charities, too.
