Entry No. 13 — the Savannah file — filed under: speakeasy
The Hideaway Lounge
A full Prohibition-styled bar built into a working escape-room venue — you can drink at The Hideaway on its own, or pair it with the in-house 'Savannah Speakeasy' escape room, where players act as detectives trying to stop bootleggers from moving Tommy guns through the city.
The story
You wouldn't expect to find a full-service Prohibition-style lounge operating inside an escape room facility on Montgomery Street, but that's precisely what you get at 30 Montgomery St. Located inside The Escape Company in Savannah's Historic District, The Hideaway Lounge flips the typical waiting-room dynamic on its head by building a genuine 1920s-themed bar right next to its game chambers.
You don't need a puzzle ticket to pull up a stool. While the venue runs a themed escape game called the 'Savannah Speakeasy'—where teams play 1920s detectives attempting to thwart bootleggers shipping Tommy guns through town—the lounge functions as its own independent watering hole, offering Prohibition-inspired cocktails and a full menu of craft beer on draft, in cans, and in bottles.
What it's like
Stepping inside 30 Montgomery Street feels less like entering a corporate game parlor and more like walking into a dimmed, secret drinking room. The vibe shifts depending on the clock: between room start times, it's a chill spot to sip a craft beer or a vintage-styled cocktail, but expect brief bursts of energy and loud debriefing sessions whenever a team cracks their final puzzle and spills back out to the bar.
The move: Book the Savannah Speakeasy escape room as a team of two, then head straight to The Hideaway Lounge afterward to debrief over a Prohibition-era cocktail.
