Poe’s Tavern

A Portion of Poetry

A haven for literary enthusiasts, Poe’s Tavern is a gastropub extravaganza,

boasting an enticing range from succulent hamburgers to delectable Mexican delights, with multiple establishments dotting the landscapes of  Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.

Paying homage to the iconic American wordsmith, Edgar Allan Poe, Poe’s Tavern has solidified its standing as a cherished gastropub, renowned for its artfully crafted, in-house ground hamburgers. The spotlight shines on masterpieces like The Sleeper burger—a harmonious fusion of a beef patty, garlic blue cheese, and buffalo fried shrimp.

Immerse yourself in the enigmatic atmosphere with offerings like the Veggie Rue Morgue, all while relishing vintage posters, captivating photographs, and artworks that evoke the spirit of Poe. The tavern is a bibliophile’s paradise, rich in literary inspiration. Elevate the experience by savoring a local craft beer or a fine wine, or perhaps embark on an adventurous journey with the tequila-infused and jalapeno-kissed spicy margarita. Cocktail aficionados are invited to indulge in the ever-evolving creation of the week.

The latest addition to the family finds its abode within a meticulously renovated former fire station in Savannah. Featuring a sprawling dog-friendly patio, patrons can revel in the eccentric ambiance alongside their four-legged companions.

As Poe eloquently expressed, “We loved with a love that was more than love,” a sentiment that beautifully encapsulates the devotion poured into their burgers. If skeptical, indulge in a firsthand experience and savor the unmatched flavors of Poe’s Tavern for yourself.
