The Mediterranean-inspired menu of food and drinks includes lively beverages such as the Valencia Spritz (made with an orange aperitif), the Lost Mule (their version of a Moscow Mule), their namesake beer, Alida Harper Saison, and refreshing mocktails such as Good Company, made with zero-proof gin.

Shareable plates are small enough for a snack but can serve as dinner.

Peregrin

Neighborhood: Historic District

The sophisticated ambiance of this rooftop bar atop The Perry Lane Hotel comes from its recent renovation, which transformed it into a colorful, conservatory-inspired destination. Think vibrant plants and murals, a birdcage-themed bar, and the type of tile floors you’d spot in Europe. Its location in the heart of historic homes, churches, and gardens will have you peeking over the side balcony all night.

The drinks are tasty and creative with clever names like Bees Knees, Perfect Timing, About Last Summer, and Back in Business. Start with the Mezze platter, a tasty plate of red pepper dip, dolmas, crudité, and fresh bread … enough by itself, but also perfect as an appetizer. Flatbreads and burgers offer heartier fare. And while the outside seating is terrific, bistro-style interiors are just as fun to catch the Mediterranean vibe.

Nearby, a pink drink with a lime wedge awaits, evoking the vibrant rooftop bars in Savannah's charming atmosphere. — The Carrie Nation mocktail is a refreshing side to the flavorful Mediterranean brunch options at Bar Julian: a Mezze platter and chicken kabobs.
